True Crime Tuesday Presents Crime And Unusual Punishment: The Psychological Realities Of Federal Prison w/Former Psychologist/Author, Paul Smith! Paul Smith was a clinical psychologist sentenced to 51 months for healthcare fraud and in his new book, confronts the harsh realities of federal prison. Incarcerated amid the chaos of the COVID pandemic, he endured a relentless odyssey through eight different prison facilities, caught in a near-perpetual cycle of transfer. Through his expert lens, CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT: A Memoir of the Psychological Realities of Federal Prison unveils the stark truth of an uncivilized, harsh, and insane system that erodes the very essence of humanity. The author reveals a grim truth: extended exposure to the cruel environment of prison—crafted by government policy and the ruthless prisoner code—strips away humanity, pushing individuals toward savagery. Drawing from his own struggle to preserve his sense of self and the hard-earned wisdom of those who survived years of confinement, he offers a raw, introspective exploration of survival under psychological siege. On today's episode, we sit down with Paul and talk to him about the psychological effects of the prison system on the average inmate, whether every inmate is redeemable, and changing over the prison system from a punitive system to a truly reformative one and what model should be used as an example. We also relive Paul's story and recall the pitfalls that led to his downfall... PLUS DUMB CRIMES/STUPID CRIMINALS WITH JESSICA FREEBURG!

Today we sit down with Sheila Carrasco, who brings “Flower” to life on the hit CBS comedy Ghosts. After earning her BFA at NYU, she spent three years self-producing plays without an agent before pursuing an MFA at Harvard's American Repertory Theater, where she honed her comedic skills and character work. That path led her to the Groundlings' famed Sunday Company, where she found her voice and signed with CAA. Sheila shares the twists of her Ghosts audition including the COVID shutdown that nearly derailed it to the creative choices that shaped Flower. She also gives insights on ensemble improv and lessons learned from industry veterans, including her time as a stand-in on The Good Place. Her story is a testament to perseverance, finding your niche, and why it “takes 10 years to start working as an actor” and “20 years to build a career.” These are the unforgettable stories that landed Sheila Carrasco right here.

On this Live Greatly podcast episode, Kristel Bauer sits down with Margaret C. Andrews, Harvard Instructor and Author of Manage Yourself to Lead Others: Why Great Leadership Begins with Self-Understanding. Kristel and Margaret discuss the concept of managing up, building self-awareness and lots more. Tune in now!  Key Takeaways From This Episode: A look into Margaret's book, MANAGE YOURSELF TO LEAD OTHERS: Why Great Leadership Begins with Self-Understanding The importance of understanding yourself  Tips for self-reflection Ways to give and receive constructive feedback A look into managing up The importance of thinking like a partner ABOUT MARGARET C. ANDREWS: Margaret teaches a variety of leadership courses and professional and executive programs at Harvard University and is the founder of the MYLO Center, a private leadership development firm. Her MYLO (Manage Yourself to Lead Others) course has had a wait list every time it's been taught for over a decade and has become the most popular professional development program at Harvard. Margaret's expertise is grounded her own experience—a previous boss once told her that while her business results were great, her interpersonal skills were highly lacking. The exact phrase he used was, “you're not self-aware.” To change, Margaret looked for insight from famous leaders to management studies to disciplines like philosophy and psychology. At the end of the day, she found that the basis for powerful, effective leadership comes from within—from understanding yourself and then managing yourself toward the leader you want to become—also known MYLO. Margaret has taken her MYLO approach and distilled it into her first book, MANAGE YOURSELF TO LEAD OTHERS: Why Great Leadership Begins with Self-Understanding (Basic Venture; September 16, 2025).

John welcomes world-renowned epidemiologist Dr. Michael Osterholm to discuss the threats to America's public health system under Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Osterholm catalogues the damage Donald Trump's Secretary of Health & Human Services has inflicted in just seven months in office; the misstatements and misinformation he put forward in his recent appearance before the Senate; and his especially dangerous and scientifically baseless views regarding vaccines. Osterholm also discusses his new book, “The Big One: How We Must Prepare for Future Deadly Pandemics”—arguing that America is doing worse than nothing to ready itself for the all but certain eventuality of an outbreak far more deadly than Covid.

Some events divide history. 911 did it, Covid lockdowns did it and the recent shooting of Charlie Kirk did it as well. Since the tragic event Charlie’s organization has had 18,000 request for new chapters, they only had 9,000 at the time of his shooting. The giant is now awake and he’s picked up the left’s favorite play book, Rules for Radicals by Saul Alinsky. The left might be about to find out, that book is a play book but it was not written the left. It was writing for those not in power to take power. Today we will … Continue reading →

An independent journalist finds out: you get silenced, erased, and branded a conspirator. Former systems engineer and showrunner Sarah Westall joins Strange Planet to explain how her reporting on corruption and human trafficking was folded into a political psyop—and then neutralized. YouTube deleted her channel, Patreon wiped supporters, and impersonators stole her audience while platforms looked the other way. We trace the mechanics of deplatforming, digital impersonation, and institutional collusion between Big Tech, media, and power. Truth has consequences. So does silence. GUEST: Sarah Westall is an investigative journalist, systems engineer, former university instructor, and media executive. Creator and host of The Sarah Westall Show and Business Game Changers (Apple Business News top-ranked), she built one of the largest independent platforms covering corruption, human trafficking, health innovation, and geopolitics. Known for rigorous interviews with whistleblowers and experts, Westall's work reaches millions across Rumble, Apple Podcasts, Substack, and other platforms. Sarah is an international best-selling author, known for “Exposing Blackmail,” where she coined the powerful phrase: “Blackmail is the currency of the powerful.” Her fearless reporting has led to exposing FBI files on Jeffrey Epstein, the BURISMA scandal, Ukraine biolabs, global human trafficking networks, and COVID-19 narratives—all well ahead of mainstream coverage.

In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, defying the narrative of the liberal left, there are "acceptable risks" in society with the COVID virus as an example. Charlie Kirk took acceptable risks every time he went into public, but he never wavered from presenting his message. Those that blame him for what happened will never understand what he stood for and died for. Also Hollywood's response to Charlie Kirk's murder, Donald Trump's history was favorable to the liberal media in the eighties but is now hated even though he hasn't changed his views and the bold message of Charlie Kirk in the dangerous public arena. Also Ex-White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre admits to House panel she got talking points on Biden decline from ‘senior level' and Erika Kirk's emotional message Friday about her husband's death from Turning Point USA headquarters.

Senator Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia joined The Guy Benson Show today to share her reaction to the disturbing assassination of Charlie Kirk, why it should cause the nation to pause, and why extreme political rhetoric against the other side of the aisle must be toned down. Sen. Capito and Guy also discussed the Senate's "nuclear option" to change chamber rules in order to get President Trump's nominees confirmed in the face of the left's historic taboo blockade. Capito further weighed in on the potential "overcorrection" among some conservatives who are becoming more heavily anti-vaccine toward children in response to COVID-era mandates.

In Plain Sight: A Memoir Infused with Military Psychological Operationsis the raw, introspective autobiography of Jonathan Mark Haber, a Brooklyn-born activist whose relentless quest for truth spans government conspiracies, military psy-ops, and spiritual awakening.The narrative begins in 1960s Brooklyn, where the assassinations of JFK, MLK, and RFK, the Vietnam War, and nuclear brinkmanship ignite Haber's activism. From draft resistance and communal living to building a family in rural Massachusetts, each step fuels his resolve to expose hidden forces shaping history.Central to his journey is a spiritual and political awakening guided by mentors like Karl Grossman, Elwood Babbitt, Eckhart Tolle, and Manhattan Project/NASA whistleblower Bart Jordan. Their insights propel his work with Flyby News, where he challenges official narratives—from the Cassini flyby and 9/11 to COVID-19—revealing the pervasive reach of military psychological operations.A defining collaboration with Jordan uncovers evidence of ancient Martian artifacts and languages, suggesting a pre-ice-age warning: humanity must break war's cyclical destruction or face oblivion. (Further details are explored in FlybyNews.com and on YouTube: "Bart Jordan: Manhattan Project NASA Whistleblower.")Interwoven with investigative rigor is Haber's personal battle—chronic pain, kidney failure, and profound loss—met with resilience and a belief in love's transformative power. More than a memoir, In Plain Sight is a call to confront deception and forge a future rooted in peace.https://amzn.to/3ImWDCwBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Welcome to the Future Generations Podcast with Guest Alyssa Campbell, author of "Tiny Humans, Big Emotions" (New York Times Bestseller) and her newest book "Big Kids, Bigger Feelings" out this September. In this episode, Dr. Stanton Hom talks with Alyssa Campbell, diving deep into the complex world of children's emotional intelligence and nervous system development. Targeting parents of children aged 5-12, educators, and child development professionals, the conversation explores the nine sensory systems, how children process stimuli, and provides practical strategies for supporting emotional growth. Campbell breaks down the unique ways children experience and regulate their emotions, offering insights that can help parents move from reactive parenting to intentional, compassionate guidance.   Highlights: "All behaviors are communication of a need."   "What we're sensitive to drains our nervous system. What we're seeking recharges it."   "We're all unique humans, and the way our nervous system works is unique."   "It's not a question of whether your body is wise. The question is, what is your body trying to say?"   Timestamps: 03:45 - Introduction 08:01 - Exploring the Nine Sensory Systems 13:07 - Understanding Sensitivity vs. Seeking in Nervous System 25:38 - Collaborative Emotion Processing Method Explained 30:34 - Practical Strategies for Nervous System Regulation 34:38 - Deep Dive into Emotion Processing Steps 41:16 - COVID-19's Impact on Children's Emotional Development 44:27 - The Power of Compassion in Parenting 49:33 - Alyssa Campbell's Mission and Future Vision 53:07 - How to Connect and Learn More   Resources:   Remember to Rate, Review, and Subscribe on iTunes and Follow us on Spotify!   Learn more about Dr. Stanton Hom on:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drstantonhom  Website: https://futuregenerationssd.com/    Podcast Website: https://thefuturegen.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/drstantonhom  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stanhomdc  Stay Connected with the Future Generations Podcast:   Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/futuregenpodcast  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/futuregenpodcast/    Links:    https://www.thehivemethod.co/ https://www.instagram.com/thehivemethod.co   About Alyssa Campbell: Alyssa Campbell M.Ed., is an emotional intelligence researcher, Founder and the CEO of Seed & Sew, host of the Voices of Your Village podcast and author of Big Kids, Bigger Feelings: Navigating Defiance, Meltdowns, Anxiety to Raise Confident, Connected Kids (HarperCollins Harvest, 9/16/25).

The media obsesses over whether Powell should cut rates, but they're missing the bigger story entirely…Since 2022, the Federal Reserve has fundamentally lost its ability to control long-term interest rates - and that might be the best thing to happen to American monetary policy in decades.Joe Withrow from the Phoenician League returns to break down the most important financial shift you've never heard of: the transition from LIBOR to SOFR. While everyone argues about Fed policy, a quiet revolution has returned actual market forces to interest rate setting. The days of European banks manipulating global rates through sealed envelope submissions are over, replaced by real transactions from real institutions with real obligations.This episode examines the mechanics of interest rates, repo markets, and why Trump's demands for rate cuts might not matter as much as everyone thinks. From the $9 trillion debt rollover crisis to the geopolitical implications of monetary independence, Hans and Joe connect the dots between outdated financial instruments and your personal investment strategy.Chapters:00:00 - Intro04:05 - The five pillars and financial security foundation07:30 - Interest rates overview and Fed manipulation myths11:15 - LIBOR vs SOFR transition and why it matters14:45 - Setting aside preferences for objective analysis17:45 - Central bank money vs commercial bank money explained19:05 - LIBOR calculation method exposed22:25 - The shocking truth about rate manipulation25:45 - Ben Bernanke's "globally coordinated monetary policy"28:20 - COVID awakening and financial system skepticism29:20 - Fed funds rate mechanics and overnight lending31:10 - The $9 trillion debt rollover crisis32:20 - Powell vs Yellen: American vs globalist monetary policy35:10 - Balance sheet reduction and QE reversal36:30 - SOFR liberation from European bank control39:10 - World Economic Forum and "own nothing, be happy"40:25 - Immigration and cultural hierarchy discussion42:25 - SOFR based on actual market transactions44:30 - Repo market mechanics explained47:40 - Market forces vs manipulation in rate setting48:20 - Baseball card analogy for repo transactions52:00 - 10-year treasury as global risk-free rate53:30 - Market forces returning to long-term rates54:40 - Powell's rate cuts and opposite market reaction57:25 - Stephen Moran appointment and dollar devaluation strategy59:30 - Manufacturing reshoring and central planning concerns01:01:15 - Federal Reserve independence vs political control01:03:25 - Board of Governors structure and 14-year terms01:04:55 - Rate policy and asset price manipulation01:07:10 - Phoenician League membership and strategy sessions01:11:15 - Low stress trading strategy integration01:15:50 - Closing thoughts and next stepsKey Takeaways:- LIBOR was manipulated by 17 banks submitting sealed envelope "guesses" with no binding obligations- SOFR is based on actual overnight lending transactions between real institutions- This shift has fundamentally severed the Fed's control over long-term interest rates- Powell's 1% rate cut in 2024 caused long-term rates to go UP, proving the new dynamic- Fed only controls short-term rates (up to 2 years) through the Fed funds rate- Traditional "refinance when rates drop" assumptions no longer reliableGot Questions?

Patricia Lockwood is a poet, memoirist and novelist whose work straddles the literary world and the wilds of the internet. Patricia first went viral with her traumatic poem Rape Joke, while her memoir Priestdaddy, about being the daughter of a Catholic priest, has been called a modern classic. Patricia talks to Nuala McGovern about her new book, Will There Ever Be Another You, which explores the surreal disorientation of illness, memory and recovery in the wake of Covid. The list of hospital trusts that will be looked at as part of a rapid review of maternity care in England have just been announced. This is part of an independent, national, investigation into harm to hundreds of babies, that might have been prevented with better maternity care. However some of the families, whose cases will be part of it, have expressed concerns about its scope. Nuala is joined by BBC Social Affairs Correspondent Michael Buchanan to find out more about this review. Parents of children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) are heading to Westminster today. They are taking part in what they are calling a ‘Day of Action,' organised by parent support groups, which includes a rally at Parliament Square, MP drop-ins and a Parliamentary debate on SEND children's rights. 18-year-old Katie Nellist, who has autism and struggled to attend school, will be giving a speech at the rally. Katie and her mother Ruth tell Nuala why they are taking part in this 'Day of Action'. The BBC Eye documentary and podcast called Death in Dubai has identified a former London bus driver running a sex ring exploiting young vulnerable Ugandan women. The programme has been told that hundreds of women are going to Dubai from Uganda, seeking their fortunes and ending up in sex work. Two of the women have died falling from tower blocks in Dubai. Nuala talks to the BBC Eye producer and reporter Runako Celina, who has spent two and a half years investigating this story. Kathrine Switzer was the first female to officially run the Boston marathon back in 1967, at that time considered a men's-only race. However a race official tried to stop her mid-event when they discovered she was a woman. She went on to complete the course and she's dedicated her life to enabling women to participate in the sport. Now in her late 70s, she's run 42 marathons and is the co-founder of 261 Fearless, that aims to empower women through running. Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Andrea Kidd

Erin West joins Dr. Sandie Morgan as they uncover why that random text asking "Can you come for ribs?" might be the opening move in a $5 billion crime operation targeting vulnerable people through sophisticated romance and investment scams known as pig butchering. Erin West Erin West is a globally recognized expert in transnational organized crime and the founder and president of Operation Shamrock, a nonprofit uniting law enforcement, industry, and everyday citizens to disrupt pig butchering scams—the world's fastest-growing form of transnational organized crime. After 26 years as a prosecutor, including eight years on the REACT High-Tech Task Force where she became known for her relentless pursuit of cryptocurrency-enabled criminals, Erin retired to launch this cross-border fight to expose the scam economy and protect both victims and the trafficked workers forced to run these schemes. She is also the host of "Stolen," a podcast that takes listeners inside the darkest corners of the scamdemic, where love is weaponized and billions are laundered. As a sought-after international speaker and educator, Erin continues to equip audiences worldwide to use their skills and platforms to fight back against these sophisticated criminal enterprises. Key Points Pig butchering scams are long cons that can last up to four months, involving four hours of daily texting to build the relationship victims have always wanted before stealing their life savings. Chinese organized criminals created this crime model by repurposing casino towers in Southeast Asia during COVID, literally translating "pig butchering" as fattening up victims with love bombing before cutting their throats financially. The scams begin with seemingly innocent outreach through wrong number texts, LinkedIn connections, or social media befriending, then quickly move to encrypted platforms like WhatsApp to conduct criminal activity without oversight. Hundreds of thousands of people from Africa, Bangladesh, and Pakistan are being trafficked to Southeast Asia under false job promises, then forced to work 16 hours a day running these scams under threat of violence. Victims of forced criminality face arrest and detention when compounds are raided because they're treated as criminals rather than trafficking victims, creating a massive repatriation crisis. The scale of this crime is unprecedented, with victims reporting losses of $4.9 billion in 2024 alone, representing a generation's worth of stolen wealth from retirement and college savings accounts. End-to-end encryption, while protective for legitimate users, is weaponized by criminals to conduct relationships and transactions away from law enforcement visibility. Effective response requires unprecedented cross-sector collaboration between banking, law enforcement, cryptocurrency platforms, diplomacy, victim assistance, and NGOs working together rather than in silos.

Michael Fisher was making gummy worms in his kitchen during COVID when he realized candy hadn't been reimagined for today's consumer. With no food science background, he started experimenting—less sugar, no artificial dyes, and all the nostalgia of sour gummies. That tinkering turned into Rotten, a candy brand with its own world, characters, and cult following. From a Kickstarter launch in 2023 to landing in retailers like Foxtrot and Hy-Vee within months, Rotten has grown fast by pairing bold branding with better-for-you candy that doesn't compromise on taste. In this episode, Michael shares how he built Rotten from scratch, why brand world-building matters in CPG, and what the future of candy looks like when it's fun and functional.

Leo Varadkar's new memoir promises readers an insight into what the former taoiseach really thought about the monumental events - Covid, Brexit, the housing crisis - that he was centrally involved in. He talks to Hugh Linehan and Irish Times Britain and Ireland editor Mark Hennessy about the book and his life and times in politics. He explains why Eoghan Murphy may have been suited to a government role other than Housing Minister, why he and Phil Hogan still don't speak, why a Covid inquiry still hasn't happened and why the question of reunification may need serious consideration more quickly than we think.

Melody emphasizes the importance of trauma-informed care, shifting perspectives from “what's wrong with you” to “what happened to you.” She shares meaningful stories from her time as a DSP, including organizing enriching trips for individuals she supported. In her closing advice, she encourages inclusive community interactions, early exposure for children to diverse environments, and recognizes the deeply rewarding nature of working in the IDD field—not as a calling for angels, but for those who care.

You didn't do it—so why are you bleeding for it? This message exposes the trap of sharing other people's disobedience in the name of “love” or “loyalty.” From Eden to your bank account, ET breaks down why Adam wasn't deceived—but still joined in—and how that same pattern wrecks our finances, families, and faith today. You'll learn a simple two-step standard: Don't share sin. Quarantine the virus. If you've been carrying consequences that aren't yours, this is your exit ramp. What you'll learn - The difference between support and sabotage (aka enabling) - A boundary rule that protects your marriage & money (the “toothbrush/credit” analogy) - The COVID framework: how to quarantine spiritual viruses before they spread. Scriptures that set the standard (Gen 3:6; 1 Tim 5:22; Prov 1:10,15; 2 Cor 6:14–17)  If this hit home, name one boundary you're setting this week. I'm praying over every boundary in this thread.

Thanks to Trump and the GOP, this industry does more to screw us than any other. Instead of Bob Kennedy delivering real change - the strategy appears to be just another example of the Trump administration putting the financial interests of polluting industries above people's health.

‘It is vanishingly rare for a writer to both confront the ugliness of humanity and still search for its beauty. Roy is that rare writer.' – Naomi Klein Arundhati Roy is one of today's most esteemed public intellectuals. The author of novels including the Booker Prize-winning The God of Small Things, Roy is equally respected as a political essayist. Her words on topics from the COVID-19 pandemic to the plight of India under Prime Minister Narendra Modi have helped define public discourse in India and beyond. In September 2025 Roy came to the Intelligence Squared stage for two exclusive events. Combining the signature scale, sweep and depth of her novels, and the passion, political clarity and warmth of her essays, Roy drew on the themes of her new memoir for a compelling exploration of her life and work. Born out of the onrush of memories and feelings provoked by her mother Mary's death, Mother Mary Comes to Me is Roy's telling of her own story from childhood to the present, from Kerala to Delhi. An ode to freedom, a tribute to thorny love and savage grace, it is a memoir like no other. The event was a rare opportunity to hear from one of the greatest writers of our generation. --- If you'd like to become a Member and get access to all our full ad free conversations, plus all of our Members-only content, just visit intelligencesquared.com/membership to find out more.

Welcome to another episode of Build a Better Agency! This week, host Drew McLellan shines a light on an area vital to every agency's growth: how to show up for clients and prospects in ways that build genuine trust, loyalty, and long-term relationships. To explore this undervalued but crucial topic, Drew is joined by Jamie Shibley, founder of The Expressory and expert in strategic engagement and relationship-driven agency growth. Jamie shares her fascinating journey from two decades in corporate IT and ecommerce management to launching her own agency, where she helps businesses nurture relationships through intentional and personalized engagement. Through insightful stories and real-life examples, Jamie and Drew examine why clients crave more than just a transactional relationship—they want to feel seen, valued, and heard. Together, they unpack the psychology behind meaningful connections, discussing simple but powerful ways agencies can differentiate themselves by caring more deeply and showing it consistently. Listeners will learn how to communicate care and appreciation, not just during the wooing phase, but throughout the client journey. Jamie reveals the six strategic storylines that should guide your client engagement, offers practical tips for intentional gifting (hint: it's more about thoughtfulness than price or heavy branding), and shares eye-opening data on the tangible impact of consistent relationship nurturing. Drew and Jamie also address common barriers, like lack of time or uncertainty about what to say, and provide actionable strategies to overcome them.   If you're looking to solidify your client retention, inspire advocacy, and create memorable experiences that set your agency apart, this episode is a must-listen. Discover how small, intentional acts can have outsized effects on your business—and why now, more than ever, demonstrating care can be your most powerful growth lever.   A big thank you to our podcast's presenting sponsor, White Label IQ.

Imaginez : vous lancez une application depuis un petit bureau parisien, et un jour, sans prévenir, tout explose… à l'autre bout du monde.C'est exactement ce qui est arrivé à Julie Chapon, fondatrice de Yuka. Après des débuts difficiles aux États-Unis, une simple vidéo TikTok, postée par une adolescente sans influence particulière, change la donne et propulse l'application sur le devant de la scène.Dans cet extrait, Julie raconte ce moment inattendu, l'effet boule de neige qui a suivi, mais aussi les défis humains derrière le succès : une équipe marquée par le Covid, la perte de dynamique au bureau, et ce fameux soir où, presque sur un ton de blague, est née l'idée de s'installer… aux États-Unis.Vous pouvez consulter notre politique de confidentialité sur https://art19.com/privacy ainsi que la notice de confidentialité de la Californie sur https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
