In this powerful episode of People, Alpha Warrior sits down with his longtime friend and original supporter, Nurse Carol, known to many as ApotheCarol. Together, they revisit the early days of the movement and explore her incredible 48-year career in nursing, from her start as a curious teenager in a Panama Canal hospital to her transformation into a holistic healer. Carol shares how nearly losing her life reshaped her approach to medicine, why the healthcare system is collapsing, and how functional and integrative medicine are lighting the path forward. The two discuss COVID's wake-up call, pharmaceutical manipulation, and how faith, sunlight, and simple daily habits can restore health and balance. With wisdom, humor, and hope, ApotheCarol reminds us that true healing starts from within, and that sometimes, the cure is as old as the earth itself.

Lionel dissects the "political psychosis of overanalysis," where political junkies and pundits persist in compulsive rumination, turning simple arithmetic questions into a confused, overanalyzed "mental labyrinth".Plus, Lionel examine the massive federal sting operation targeting fraud, illegal gambling, and card-counting schemes with alleged ties to organized crime. Lionel questions the official narrative and the "triage" of law enforcement priorities: Why focus on Vinnie Bananas card counting and x-ray poker tables when far greater crimes—like massive COVID-era fraud, human trafficking, fentanyl deaths, and the corruption of the current administration (which he argues is more "gangster" than the best of the old-school Mafia)—are ignored? Sometimes, a cigar is just a cigar. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Episode Summary On episode 318 of Business Coaching Secrets, hosts Karl Bryan and Rode Dog dive deep into the realities of building a thriving coaching business, from mindset and strategy to the nuts-and-bolts of profit growth. Karl discusses why listening to seasoned, successful entrepreneurs (“old and rich”) is the ultimate shortcut, warns against the flashy social media gurus, and offers step-by-step frameworks for helping clients boost their profits—even with simple tweaks like raising prices or launching new services. This episode is packed with actionable ideas for coaches working with local businesses and offers critical advice for coaches struggling to transition from previous careers. Key Topics Covered Choosing Who to Listen To: “Old and Rich” vs. the New Gurus Karl argues most social media and “guru” advice is flashy but hollow, highlighting why the wisdom of long-term, successful entrepreneurs like Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger is far more valuable. He points out the pitfalls of following voices that are motivational but unproven, and underscores the importance of critical thinking in selecting mentors and sources. Mindset, Psychology, and Temperament for Struggling Coaches Rode Dog and Karl address coaches transitioning from successful careers who find themselves struggling—they explore mental gymnastics, the power of building a bigger/brighter future, managing psychology, and the necessity of consistent forward progress over time. Business Model Fundamentals: Profit, Pricing, and Retention The hosts unpack principles from Karl's operating system, like the impact of raising prices incrementally, controlling costs, and focusing relentlessly on profit rather than just revenues. They debunk the myth that scale equals success, spotlighting profit as the real domino for business stability. Additional Products and Services—Real-World Examples Karl walks through detailed examples—bakery, butcher, landscaping business, hair salon, gym—showing coaches how to help clients add offerings to increase repeat business and margins, using McDonald's cross-selling (“Do you want fries with that?”) as a gold standard. Ideas range from day-old bread and foam rollers to personal training upsells, maintenance plans, and branded merchandise. Client Feedback and Creativity Rode Dog highlights the importance of simply asking customers what they want as a source for new ideas. They discuss why business owners miss these opportunities and how tapping into actual client preferences unlocks profitable new offerings. Compounding Progress and the Boring Path to Wealth Karl returns to the principle that consistent, incremental improvement (1% per day) compounds into massive long-term success. Temperament, discipline, and sticking to fundamentals—rather than chasing the next shiny object—lead to sustainable wealth and client impact. Notable Quotes “You want to listen to people who've been through the dot-com bubble, the 2008 crash, Covid… still standing. These are the autobiographies you want to be reading.” – Karl Bryan “Old and rich, very, very rare. These are the types of people to be listening to… using your critical thinking skills.” – Karl Bryan “The secret to having a better now is having a bigger, brighter future.” – Karl Bryan “Profit is the domino that knocks over all the other dominoes.” – Karl Bryan “You don't have a client or money problem, you have a refusal to help people before they pay you problem.” – Karl Bryan “Success in business is incredibly boring… It's the fundamentals. Consistency and discipline over amazing skill and talent.” – Karl Bryan Actionable Takeaways 1. Seek Wisdom, Not Hype: Follow and learn from seasoned, long-term entrepreneurs—not trendy social media personalities. 2. Build Your Psychology and Temperament: Focus on mindset; resilience and a future-oriented frame are critical for coaches struggling after prior successes. 3. Use Operating Systems and Compounding Returns: Adopt systems that drive incremental improvements (across pricing, cost control, product/service expansion) for clients—1% daily progress compounds powerfully over a year. 4. Help Clients Add or Upsell Products/Services: Leverage simple cross-sells, bundles, and maintenance/upgrades as repeat business and margin boosters. 5. Ask Clients for Feedback: Encourage your clients to solicit ideas directly from their customers—sometimes the most profitable additions are hiding in plain sight. 6. Remember: Progress Equals Happiness: Keep your clients (and yourself) moving forward consistently, celebrating incremental wins and compounding growth. Resources Mentioned Profit Acceleration Software™ Developed by Karl Bryan, this tool helps coaches quickly identify and quantify profit opportunities for any business. Annual Shareholder Letters Recommended reading: Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway letters, Jeff Bezos's Amazon letters—for real-world business wisdom and strategy.

What happens when doctors stop healing and start judging? Imagine walking into a hospital with your sick child and being told, “Sorry, you didn't comply — no treatment.” It sounds dystopian, but this terrifying “comply or die” mindset is quietly creeping into modern healthcare. In this episode, we expose how politics, moral grandstanding, and cancel culture are rewriting the Hippocratic Oath. Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": CardioMiracle.com/TBNS Medicine used to be about one simple principle: care for the person in front of you. But now? Some healthcare professionals openly admit they're “out of compassion” for patients who think differently, vote differently, or reject certain treatments. This isn't medicine — it's moral policing with a stethoscope. We dive deep into the stories that prove it — from doctors refusing patients over vaccine status to hospitals debating ICU priority based on compliance. Brian connects the dots between compassion fatigue, political tribalism, and the erosion of trust that's leaving millions afraid to even see a doctor. But this isn't just about COVID. It's about where this thinking leads next — because once care becomes conditional, no one is safe. Today it's the unvaccinated. Tomorrow it could be your lifestyle, your politics, or your faith. The line keeps moving, and it's time to say enough. By the end of this episode, you'll see exactly how we got here — and how we can fix it. From restoring medical ethics to defending the right to care for everyone, this conversation isn't just about saving patients… it's about saving the soul of healthcare itself. ❤️ Order Cardio Miracle (CardioMiracle.com/TBNS) for 15% off and take a step towards better heart health and overall well-being!

We see so much demonic disruption and expressions of evil in the world, but God is moving in the earth. We don't want to miss it! In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the shaking we feel in our nation and around the globe. What started with COVID has progressed through events like the October 7 attack in Israel and the assassination of Charlie Kirk. These events reveal the weaknesses of things we once placed our trust in. Pastor Allen shares how these tremors point to the unshakeable Kingdom of God, and he teaches about how to impact the next generations for our Lord. He pulls from the lives of Apostles Peter and Paul to demonstrate the biblical foundation for our assignment to change culture. The Church can't just be about sermons anymore—it's about living our lives for Christ.

From the shocking words of Democrat Whip Catherine Clark, who openly bragged about using shutdown suffering as “leverage,” to Texas Rep. Jolanda Jones declaring she’d “slit throats” over politics, the left’s mask is slipping fast. Meanwhile, some Republicans, including Hugh Hewitt and Sid Rosenberg, line up behind Andrew Cuomo — the disgraced “COVID killer” — leaving Mike asking: how can any conservative endorse that?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, Linda shares her journey from selling books in the 1970s to becoming one of the first women to manage and lead in Southwestern's history. She talks about her first summer selling in Jackson, Mississippi, the nerves, the first door, the first sale, and the moment she almost quit — but didn't. That decision shaped everything that came after.Linda recalls becoming a stockbroker after leaving Southwestern, realizing it wasn't for her, and returning to the company with new purpose. She later joined Family Heritage, where she recruited and trained a team that remains successful decades later. From there, she became a certified trainer, teaching Integrity Selling and goal-setting programs that helped people learn how to sell and believe in themselves.She describes attending Tony Robbins' early live events, walking through fire, and spending ten life-changing days in Hawaii that shifted how she viewed goals, family, and purpose. That experience led to years as a professional speaker, trainer, and coach, helping others find clarity and motivation.Linda also shares how COVID pushed her to take her work online, how she learned to sell virtually, and how she now works with women creating retreats and online programs. Her story includes raising a family, moving across the country, mentoring others, and rediscovering herself through each chapter.Along the way, she talks about being one of the only women at sales school, learning to get indoors in the South, recruiting over 100 people, leading teams, and the friendships that have lasted over 50 years — friendships that still make her laugh until she cries.By the end, Linda reflects on a lifetime of lessons about rejection, confidence, attitude, and how a single summer job can change the trajectory of a life.

“It wasn't a profession, it was a way of life,” observes internationally respected psychiatrist Dr. Nasser Loza, reflecting on a century-long family legacy in mental health care that began when his grandfather founded The Behman Hospital in Cairo. In this candid Raise the Line conversation with host Michael Carrese, Dr. Loza traces the transformation of psychiatry he's witnessed in his long career as increases in classifications, payment bureaucracy, reliance on pharmaceuticals, and technological disruption have each left their mark. The cumulative costs associated with these changes have, he laments, pushed care out of reach for many and hindered the human connection that is key to the discipline. He describes his prescription for countering these trends as a focus on effective and modest aims. “Rather than saying, come and see me in therapy for five years and I will make a better person out of you, I think focusing on symptom-targeted help is going to be what is needed.”  In this wide-ranging interview, you'll also learn about progress on advancing the rights of mental health patients and lowering stigmas, how to manage the rise of online therapy and use of AI chatbots, and the importance of empathy and transparency in mental health counseling. Don't miss this valuable perspective on a critically important dimension of healthcare that's informed by decades of experience as a clinician, government official and global advocate. Mentioned in this episode:The Behman HospitalMaadi Psychology Center If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

Today we discuss Harvard, higher ed, public health, AI, and political cheating. Harvard has announced the suspension of several graduate programs, as well as hiring and other budget freezes, claiming poverty due to the suspension of federal grants. But Harvard's revenue last year was $6.7 billion, and their losses amount to 1.7% of that. Meanwhile, Trump wants Harvard to run trade schools. Then: vaccinologist Paul Offit admits that natural immunity was always superior to vaccine-induced immunity—if you survived the infection—but that this was not a matter of public health policy because Americans couldn't handle the nuance. And: Google's AI fabricated a criminal history, and is now being sued. Finally: how you voted is visible on your mail-in ballot in some counties in California.*****Our sponsors:Caraway: Non-toxic, beautiful, light ceramic cookware.

NBA player Jonathan Isaac is known not just for his talent on the court, but for his convictions and outspoken faith. He's the author of the 2022 best-selling memoir “Why I Stand.”As a youth, he struggled with anxiety—but a chance encounter in an elevator with the man who would later become his pastor changed the course of his life.Faith helped him triumph over his battle with anxiety, but it also later put him at the center of a national debate. After George Floyd's death, at the height of the Black Lives Matter movement, most NBA players chose to kneel during the national anthem. But Isaac chose to stand. Later, his decision to decline the COVID-19 vaccines also drew intense media scrutiny.In this episode, he shares his story, his convictions, his choices and why he made them, and what it means to believe in something bigger than yourself.Now, through his UNITUS shoe line, Isaac shares Bible verses and a message of hope.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Hollywood has killed itself. Now they want to kill you.We all know Hollywood pushes left-wing madness on their audiences—even as audiences are no longer going to the movies. But now they're doubling down to have George Clooney promote the killing of old people who become surplus to requirements. And actress Annette Bening is helping.We reveal the latest Hollywood push for assisted suicide.As a counterpoint, we feature some words of wisdom from our good friend, Dennis Prager, who, after becoming a quadriplegic, still values his life and is showing people that becoming disabled does not render life worthless. You have to listen to his comments. Watch the show for the update.And the left loves telling you the science is settled and how to live your life, regardless of the damage caused by their policies. Then a few years later they go oops—we made a mistake. You now must do the opposite. The damage is immense. We reveal the latest "expert" scandal.And we ask how many children have died because we “trusted the science” over common sense? Oh and don't forget to take your kids in for their millionth COVID booster.And don't believe the lie that Trump is engaging in vindictive lawfare. We reveal how John Bolton, Trump's former National Security Advisor, was planning his leaking crime spree before he even joined the administration.The indictment (linked below) says it all.And how was the “No Kings Protest” near you? Ours was very white and very angry. The protesters didn't like us very much, can't imagine why.We tried talking to them so that you didn't have to. Watch the show for an entertaining display of Trump Derangement Syndrome, with a steaming hot side of antisemitism.Someone needs to remind these protesters that there was an election recently that had a very definite result.And two weeks ago our cat scared us more than Joe Biden on a flight of stairs when he (Top Cat) went walkabout while we were out of town, and a neighbor reported a dead tabby near their house. We put two and two together and assumed Top Cat was dead only to be surprised a few hours later when he apparently rose from the dead. For our recovery and Top Cat's comfort, we are remaking/rereleasing our quick recipe for tilapia.

Have you ever found yourself staring at your to-do list, desperately wanting to work, but somehow—-NOT working? You're scrolling through social media, reorganizing your desk, making another coffee—-doing anything but the thing you actually need to do. You are not lazy or broken, and according to today's guest, your problem isn't willpower; it's neuroscience. Are you ready to achieve more with brain-based strategies? Join us for a conversation that will change how you think about productivity. Robin J. Emdon, known as “the procrastination slayer,” shares his personal journey from chronic procrastination to accountability coach. After realizing that he took 10 years to complete a 6-year degree due to procrastination, Robin researched the neuroscience behind productivity and wrote Get Resultsology®: The Science of Getting Stuff Done. He explains procrastination through brain science, describing the conflict between threat modality and reward modality. He introduces his “inner productivity team,” the Conductor, the Fun-Sized Warrior, and the Scholar. His work emphasizes that accountability is the critical missing link for sustained productivity, citing research that shows a 33% improvement in goal achievement with the proper accountability structure. Robin's signature momentum formula, “Do it today–Profit tomorrow–Repeat,” helps clients worldwide turn daily action into meaningful progress and attainable success. He does this from his quiet corner on England's southwest coast.

Tara breaks down the latest political chaos and cultural battles shaking the U.S. and beyond. From Trump's White House renovations igniting liberal outrage, to Democrats' radical candidates exploiting socialist trends, to the hypocrisy over government shutdowns, Tara uncovers the truth behind the headlines. She also exposes growing censorship in Europe, including the arrest of a Jewish lawyer in the UK for wearing a Star of David and LinkedIn being forced to delete medically accurate COVID posts. Across domestic politics and global platforms, this episode highlights the fight for free speech, historical preservation, and American values in an era of escalating leftist power.

Tara dives into a disturbing wave of global censorship and radical politics threatening freedom of speech and traditional institutions. From Trump's White House renovations triggering liberal outrage to Democrats pushing Marxist-style candidates, to European courts approving the deletion of truthful COVID posts on LinkedIn, Tara exposes how far-left agendas are shaping politics and online discourse. She highlights cases like a Jewish lawyer interrogated in the UK for wearing a Star of David, European censorship spilling into American platforms, and the strategic dangers posed by socialist and communist trends in U.S. elections. This episode is a wake-up call about the erosion of liberties and the urgent need to defend free speech at home and abroad.

Tara exposes the alarming rise of digital totalitarianism in Europe and its creeping threat to Americans. From the UK fining 4chan, to German courts backing LinkedIn censorship of truthful COVID posts, to Switzerland imprisoning a man for stating biological facts about gender — the free speech landscape is collapsing. As U.S. tech companies comply with European censorship laws, Tara warns: what happens in Europe today could become law here tomorrow.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. It's All Gonna Be Okay Reflections on the ongoing government shutdown, now in its 21st day, framing it as a result of Democratic obstructionism. Clay and Buck also discuss President Donald Trump's $250 million White House ballroom renovation, joking about Clay’s dancing skills and the broader implications of the renovation. A major segment focuses on the broken ceasefire in Gaza, with Buck emphasizing that Hamas remains unchanged and peace is impossible while its leadership remains intact. The hosts also highlight Judge Jeanine Pirro’s defense of Edward “Big Balls,” a man who intervened in a carjacking incident, portraying him as a patriotic hero. The show then shifts to political media, mocking Karine Jean-Pierre’s book and criticizing the broader trend of Biden administration officials publishing memoirs. Clay and Buck argue that these books reveal a lack of awareness or integrity regarding President Biden’s cognitive decline. A significant portion of Hour 1 centers on the heated New York City mayoral race. Curtis Sliwa refuses to drop out despite pressure, which Clay argues will ensure the election of progressive candidate “Mamdani.” The hosts debate whether Andrew Cuomo would be a better alternative and explore the strategic implications for the Republican Party. They suggest that a Momani victory could benefit national GOP efforts by making far-left politics more visible and unpopular in battleground states. The discussion includes commentary on Bill Ackman, down-ballot Republican candidates, and the broader impact on upstate New York. NYC Mayor's Race New York City mayoral race, where Curtis Sliwa faces mounting pressure to drop out to prevent a victory by far-left candidate Zohran Mamdani. The New York Post’s front-page plea for Sliwa to “just walk away” underscores the urgency felt by conservatives. Buck and Clay debate whether Andrew Cuomo would be a better alternative, despite his controversial record on bail reform and COVID-19 policies. They also discuss the broader political ramifications, suggesting that a Mamdani win could energize Republican campaigns in New Jersey, Virginia, and beyond. Stripper Teachers The fallout from a Chicago elementary school teacher who made a gesture mimicking the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk during a “No Kings” protest. Clay argues that public school teachers should be held to a moral standard and that such behavior warrants termination. This sparks a lively debate with listeners calling in to defend or challenge the idea, including humorous and serious takes on whether teachers should be allowed to moonlight as strippers or work at Hooters. The hosts also revisit the Jimmy Kimmel controversy and the broader issue of free speech versus professional accountability. They emphasize that First Amendment protections do not guarantee immunity from consequences in the workplace, especially when public trust is at stake. This leads into a discussion of COVID-era hypocrisy, including the absurd restrictions placed on athletes like Kyrie Irving and the shifting public narrative around vaccine mandates. ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith is praised for acknowledging that Kyrie was right to resist the COVID shot, a stance that was once widely condemned. Dishonest Democrats Trump’s East Wing renovation, including a ballroom project and a humorous historical anecdote about JFK’s infamous White House pool parties. The hosts use this to critique the media’s long-standing romanticization of Democratic figures like JFK and FDR, highlighting how past administrations manipulated public perception with the help of a compliant press. The conversation shifts to Trump’s speech on the shutdown, where he praises OMB Director Russ Vought—nicknamed “Darth Vader”—for cutting Democrat priorities and wasteful spending. Clay and Buck argue that the shutdown has allowed the administration to eliminate unnecessary programs, particularly in blue states, and that Democrats are struggling to justify their resistance. They mock Chuck Schumer’s attempt to frame the shutdown as a Republican failure, labeling it the “Schumer Shutdown” and pointing out the hypocrisy of Democrats who once promised Obamacare would lower healthcare costs.

Should SNAP benefits cover soda and candy? Six states get federal approval to exclude them, and Sarah and Beth debate whether this is smart public health policy or government overreach—wrestling with the tension between the "nutrition" and "assistance" parts of the program's mission. Should tax dollars subsidize products that make people less healthy? Sarah and Beth explore the "common sense politics" of restricting junk food purchases, Sarah's personal experience using SNAP cards during COVID, and whether the Biden administration should have approved state waivers as experiments instead of blocking them. Is the soda industry the real villain? Sarah calls soda "poison" and predicts it will be viewed like cigarettes in decades to come, while Beth argues the government should regulate the industry upstream rather than police individual purchases downstream. Plus: Bedtime routines, sleep struggles, and why Beth can sleep through anything while Sarah wakes up at the slightest sound. Ready to go deeper?
