The Secret Service has one of the most important jobs in the nation, but behind the scenes, its agents have been treated like an afterthought. RealClear Politics' Senior National Correspondent, Susan Crabtree, joins Jason to pull back the curtain on the conditions within the Secret Service, highlighting how a culture of corruption and lack of internal accountability have left one of the government's most important agencies underfunded and undertrained, even after numerous attempts on the President's life.

Pulsiv's OSMIUM power conversion technology is going into production for the first time, under an exclusive manufacturing and wholesaling deal with Easby Group. Easby's Delta Matrix will manufacture USB modules built on OSMIUM, while sister firm Easby Electronics handles sales - targeting chargers, sockets, trains, planes and vehicles. Frontier IP Group PLC (LSE:FIPP, FRA:8WT) CEO Neil Crabb and Easby Group CEO Jason Crabtree told Proactive's Stephen Gunnion the agreement follows over two years of collaboration, with Delta Matrix chosen as exclusive partner after extensive research. Crabb said the deal answers customer demand for complete, scalable power products rather than standalone microcontroller technology. Crabtree pointed to OSMIUM's edge on efficiency, thermal performance and regulatory readiness, citing a market of over 2 billion USB-enabled sockets sold annually, with tightening USB-C and energy efficiency rules driving adoption. Crabb summed up the logic: "We deliver a technology differentiation to Delta Matrix, they deliver scalability to us."

[AD: This episode is proud to be in partnership with BeauFort London - a house Suzy has championed from the start, spoken about passionately over the years, and continues to be excited by.] From a single, hand-poured moustache wax to one of the world's most daringly distinctive fragrance houses, BeauFort London's story is as elemental as the scents themselves. Founded in 2013 by musician Leo Crabtree, the brand was born from salt-spray memories, naval histories and a fascination with the poetry of smoke — quite literally “per fumum” (‘through smoke').In this episode of On The Scent Podcast, Suzy Nightingale and Nicola Bonn sit down with Leo to trace that journey: from the formative fragrances he wore as a teenager to the moment he realised scent could become a storytelling medium for his fascinations with maritime might, Shakespearean drama, and the awe-inspiring power of nature. With the launch of Come Hell Or High Water in 2015 — featuring the now-iconic Tonnerre, Coeur de Noir and Vi et Armis — BeauFort London set out its stall with unapologetically bold compositions, rich in unusual materials and deliberately ‘overdosed' in their intensity. As you listen, you will hear Suzy, Nicola and Leo smelling some of the creations together — Nicola encountering them properly for the first time, while Suzy revisits fragrances she has worn and championed for years, having known Leo since the brand's earliest days and even helping to shape the direction of Fathom V. Together, we delve into the inspirations behind the scents, the emotions they stir, and the evolving landscape of perfumery that Leo reflects upon with candour. It is a conversation about transformation — personal, creative, and within the industry itself — and one that invites you to explore these boldly original fragrances for yourself…

Mark Barga talks with Larry Levato, veteran educational architect at Crabtree, Rohrbaugh & Associates, about what it really takes to design schools that serve students, teachers, and communities alike — and why the process matters as much as the product. Takeaways: Design for teachers too. Educators spend more time in school buildings than students. Great design treats teaching as a craft that deserves a professional environment. Listen before you design. Client relationships and deep listening are the foundation of every successful project — not design vision alone. Slow down to get it right. Larry's biggest "risk" was pushing back a project timeline. When COVID hit mid-construction, that decision saved the project. Schools can lead change, not just reflect it. Even traditional communities can be guided toward more innovative learning environments when trust is built over time. Legacy is about people, not buildings. Larry measures success by how much he's elevated the architects, clients, and educators around him — not by square footage or awards. About Larry Levato: Earning a Bachelor of Architecture and Fine Arts from Rhode Island School of Design in 1988, Larry has worked with K-12 educational clients over the course of his 34 year career. He joined Crabtree, Rohrbaugh & Associates in 2010 and continues to work with our K-12 educational clients throughout Maryland and Pennsylvania. Larry is the current A4LE President-elect, appointing committee positions and focusing on the creation of a stellar conference which include host city selection, school building tours and keynote speakers as well as conference theme. As Principal, he focuses on overall firm management as well as collaboration with project managers in establishing project standards and Best Practices as well as advising on educational programming and planning which are implemented throughout the architectural studio.

In this segment, Mark is joined by Susan Crabtree, a Real Clear Politics National Political Correspondent and the Co-Author of "Fool's Gold": The Radicals, Con Artists, and Traitors Who Killed the California Dream and Now Threaten Us All." They discuss her latest piece which is headlined, "Trump's Pratt Praise: Kiss of Death or Secret Weapon in LA Mayor's Race?"
In May of 1971, a young couple named Bobby and Elizabeth Ford rented a small frame house outside the tiny town of Fouke, Arkansas. They'd been there less than a week when something reached through their front window in the middle of the night and changed their lives forever. By morning, Bobby Ford was in a Texarkana hospital being treated for shock and abrasions, the local constable and county sheriff were photographing three-toed tracks in the yard, and a story that had been quietly told around kitchen tables in Miller County for nearly a hundred years was about to spill out into the national press.This episode walks through the full history of the Fouke Monster, from the 1908 Jonesville reports and the decades of quiet family stories that came before, through the Ford family attack on the night of 5/1/1971, and into the media wave that brought hunters, reporters, and a thousand and ninety dollar bounty to a town of a few hundred people. We dig into the work of Smokey Crabtree, the lifelong Fouke resident who became the unofficial chronicler of the case and wrote some of the most important primary-source books on the subject. We cover the production and release of Charles B. Pierce's 1972 docudrama The Legend of Boggy Creek, a film made on a hundred thousand dollar loan from a Texarkana trucking company owner that went on to gross over twenty million dollars and quietly invent the modern American Bigfoot mythos. And we trace the encounter reports that kept rolling in long after the cameras packed up, from highway sightings in the late 1970s, to coon hunters in the bottoms in 1997, to trail camera images in 2008, all the way into recent reports along the Sulphur River and Mercer Bayou.Drawing on nearly four decades of personal Sasquatch research and sixteen years in law enforcement, Brian unpacks the evidence with a careful eye on what the witnesses actually said, how investigators actually responded, and what holds up when you set the famous movie to one side and look at the record on its own terms.The episode closes with an honest weighing of the major theories, black bear misidentification, hoaxing, regional folklore, and the case for a possible undocumented hominid population in the connected swamps that run from southwest Arkansas down into Louisiana and east Texas. The witnesses in Fouke didn't ask for any of this. They saw what they saw. And the bottoms keep their secrets the way they always have.Have you experienced a Bigfoot sighting, Sasquatch encounter, Dogman experience, UFO sighting, or any unexplained cryptid or paranormal event deep in the woods? We want to hear your story.Email your encounter to brian@paranormalworldproductions.com for a chance to be featured on a future episode of Backwoods Bigfoot Stories.Backwoods Bigfoot Stories is a paranormal storytelling podcast featuring real Bigfoot encounters, Sasquatch sightings, Dogman reports, cryptid experiences, and true scary stories from the backwoods.Follow the show and turn on automatic downloads so you never miss a chilling encounter from the forest.

Are you tired of the corporate grind but terrified to leave the "security" of a full-time salary? You aren't alone. In this high-impact archive episode of Connected Leadership Bytes, Andy Lopata sits down with Matt Crabtree—the man who meets CEOs and shows them how to successfully jump ship. Matt shares the raw, honest truth about his transition from a senior role at Barclays to building a multi-million-pound consultancy. Forget what you think you know about "entrepreneurial risk." Matt argues that having 18 clients is actually safer than having one boss who can make you redundant on a whim. We examine the "unemployable" mindset, why you don't need a massive network to start, and the exact "If I did, would you?" conversation that validates your business idea before you even resign. If you've ever dreamed of being your own boss but felt held back by fear, this is the blueprint you need to move from full-time to fulfilled. Stop being a "minister without portfolio" and start building a legacy on your own terms. What You Will Learn From This Episode The "If I Did, Would You?" Script: The specific conversation you must have with 20 people to determine if your idea is a goldmine or a "lunatic" move. The "Non-Job" Catalyst: How a six-month stint as a "minister without portfolio" at a major bank became the ultimate laboratory for self-employment. The "Unemployable" Badge of Honor: Why making yourself impossible to hire by anyone else is actually the ultimate career liberation. Scaffolding vs. Sabotage: Why internal corporate mentors often have an "axe to grind" and where to find the unvarnished truth instead. Actionable Insights Conduct the "Sunday Paper" Test: Pay attention to which section of the news you read first. If you aren't naturally obsessed with the business pages and organisational drama, consultancy isn't for you. You must be a "geek for business" to thrive outside the corporate structure. Inventory Your "Hardcore Seven": You don't need a gigantic network to start. Identify the seven "founder customers" or core contacts who would vouch for your reputation. Focus on the quality of these relationships and the "ripple effect" of their referrals rather than trying to meet thousands of strangers. Establish a Financial and Relational Runway: Don't leap without a "war chest." Ensure you have a financial cushion (6–12 months of expenses) to avoid the "smell of desperation." Combine this with an 18-month pre-launch plan to ensure your first invoice is ready to be sent before your final day in the office.

In this transformative episode of the Dead America Podcast, host Ed Watters speaks with Kristen Crabtree—author, transformation guide, and creator of the Paramour Paradox—about her extraordinary journey from trauma and survival to truth, empowerment, and self reclamation. Kristen shares her lived experience surviving childhood rape, sexual assault, and a 22 year psychologically abusive marriage defined by control, manipulation, financial restriction, and fear. After leaving without clarity, she began rebuilding her agency, getting sober, and breaking free from the “victim loop.” Kristen explains how meditation—especially through Dr. Joe Dispenza's work and Becoming Supernatural—helped her understand emotional addiction, quiet her mind, and reconnect with her truth. She introduces the Paramour Paradox, a guided by source ecosystem centered on identity excavation and becoming. Her rebuilt book, Be the You That's More You Than You've Ever Been, uses a mental–emotional–physical–energy body framework and her signature archeologist → artifact → architect model. Kristen also shares key tools such as the peaks and valleys timeline, the Tree of Becoming, time consciousness practices, and the concept of the “web,” where small internal shifts ripple outward. The conversation explores: • Escaping abuse and reclaiming agency • Emotional sobriety and meditation without fear • Personal empowerment, boundaries, and authenticity • Rewriting the victim story to serve the future self • The Paramour Paradox ecosystem: journal, app, community, course, T shirts, card deck, and free resources • Her separate work as a divorce coach, especially for lesbians leaving psychologically abusive marriages Kristen's message is clear: transformation begins when we stop performing, tell the truth, and become who we were always meant to be.

Her work is rooted in the idea that many of us don't lose ourselves all at once—we slowly adapt to expectations, relationships, and survival strategies until our original signal becomes difficult to hear. Rather than focusing on motivation or goal-setting, Kristen's approach centers on excavation: uncovering what is already true beneath layers of adaptation. The problem isn't that you don't know who you are. It's that you learned to stop listening.

In this episode of the Epigenetics Podcast, we talked with Oliver Bell from the University of Southern California in Los Angeles about his work on chromatin-based regulatory systems that encode cellular memory and their implications for development and disease. The Interview starts with Dr. Bell describing his early career contributions to understanding the functionality of histone methylation in facilitating dosage compensation and gene silencing. His efforts at dissecting the complexities of epigenetic regulation culminate in significant discoveries that highlight the nuanced effects of chromatin adjustments on gene activity and stability across cell divisions. As we progress, Dr. Bell shares details about his postdoctoral research, where he engineered systems to study chromatin remodeling and the maintenance of transcriptional states through development. His innovative use of induced proximity to manipulate chromatin modifiers offers groundbreaking approaches to understanding how epigenetic states can be established and sustained, alongside the implications for therapeutic strategies in cancer treatment. An important aspect of our discussion centers on his identification of the ZFP462 protein, which plays a critical role in neurodevelopmental disorders. Dr. Bell outlines his lab's ongoing research into deciphering how this zinc finger protein interacts with enhancers to influence gene regulation in embryonic stem cells and its potential connection to specific diseases. This leads to an engaging dialogue about the relationship between 3D genome organization and epigenetic regulation, focusing on how disruptions in chromatin architecture may affect gene expression. Towards the end of our conversation, we touch upon the emerging potential of AI in epigenetic research, exploring how advances in technology could facilitate the screening of small molecules targeted at chromatin-modifying complexes. Dr. Bell offers a forward-looking perspective on the future applications of this research, revealing his aspirations for therapeutic developments based on his findings.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim on Thursday's 3 Martini Lunch. Join Scot and Greg as they break down Vice President JD Vance's forceful defense of the Trump administration's fraud investigations, a Midwest mayor claiming Americans should be embarrassed to own guns, and how California Gov. Gavin Newsom's press team demeaned and dismissed a serious reporter with tiresome vulgarity.First, they applaud Vice President Vance for standing firm behind the Trump administration's investigation into widespread government fraud, especially following revelations of massive fraud in Minnesota. Scot and Greg argue that fraud needs to be exposed rather than excused.Next, they highlight the radical comments on guns and dogs from Democrat Grand Rapids, Michigan, Mayor David LaGrand. The mayor says anyone who owns a gun should be ashamed. And he's also supportive of ending K-9 police units after a recent incident. It's not just the leftward lurch of a recently conservative part of the country. It reflects broader Democratic attitudes on gun rights, policing, and traditional American institutionsFinally, they criticize Gavin Newsom communications aide Izzy Gardon for refusing to provide details about Gov. Newsom's sudden admission of dyslexia and for responding to longtime reporter Susan Crabtree with vulgarity. Scot and Greg discuss what they see as significant disrespect for a well-established reporter and another chapter in the left's endless public profanity.Please visit our great sponsors:Take your personal data back with Incogni—use code 3ML for 60% off an annual plan at https://Incogni.com/3MLLive better, longer with BUBS Naturals.

Behind every growth problem is a lack of structure. Many businesses scale fast, only to realize they've outgrown their systems, their teams, and sometimes even themselves. The result? Burnout, chaos, and missed opportunities are hiding in plain sight. In this episode of The Business of You, we explore what it really takes to grow a business with intention — learning from someone who survived the burnout and chaos caused by the hidden traps of growth for growth's sake. This conversation is about leadership that balances people and performance, and why data without heart (or heart without data) will only take you so far. Megan Crabtree is the Founder and CEO of Crabtree Advisory, a consulting firm trusted by some of the most recognized jewelry retailers and manufacturers in North America. With decades of experience across retail, manufacturing, and wholesale, Megan brings a rare, 360-degree perspective to scaling businesses, building teams, and modernizing operations. In this episode, Megan breaks down how structure fuels sustainable growth, why people-first leadership drives profitability, and how business owners can scale without sacrificing culture or balance. Building Structure That Supports Growth One of the biggest challenges Megan sees across jewelry retailers and manufacturers is a lack of operational structure. Many companies experience explosive growth but don't have the systems, reporting, or processes to support it. Without SOPs, accountability frameworks, and clear data, growth can quickly become expensive and inefficient. Megan shares how her team helps businesses implement structure that saves time, reduces waste, and creates clarity across departments. From reporting and data analysis to process documentation, these systems allow leaders to make better decisions — faster — while empowering teams to perform at a higher level. The result includes stronger numbers, confidence, consistency, and a foundation that allows companies to grow without constantly putting out fires. Leading with Heart — Without Burning Out After years of working 90-hour weeks in high-pressure retail environments, Megan reached a turning point. Today, she's intentional about balance — for herself, her team, and her clients. Her philosophy is simple: results matter, but how you get there matters more. Megan talks about building a culture rooted in trust, flexibility, and genuine care for people's lives outside of work. That people-first approach extends into her client relationships, where long-term partnerships are built on trust, transparency, and real connection. By focusing on clarity, consistency, and confidence, Megan proves that you don't need endless growth to build a successful business — just the right growth, supported by the right systems and leadership. Enjoy this episode with Megan Crabtree… Soundbytes 03:50 – 04:22 "Everyone thought I was crazy moving to Manhattan to go wholesale when all my success was retail. I was the vice president of a manufacturer that sold to the better independents. After eight months when I grew the business by 70%, I realized I'm really good at this side of the business, too. It made sense to start a consulting firm because I had a 360 view, hands on my entire life. I had never worked another job other than jewelry." 23:44 – 24:21 "We had one instance with a retail client where we segmented out the people that had purchased engagement rings and the people that had not purchased wedding bands and sent out customized, personalized mailers, that made sense to their buying history. Here's what we're recommending. And we got a 35% return rate, which on a mail piece is nearly impossible. So the proof is in the pudding. There's no doubt, but you just have to put in the work and organize the data and segment the data to make sense." Quotes "Success today requires both heart and hard data." "I don't want to grow for the sake of growing — I want to stay passionate about what we do." "Structure gives you freedom, not restriction." "Data should guide your decisions, not overwhelm them."
