A decade in commercial litigation. A leap to Italy to run wine and culinary tours. Then a surprising turn into wholesale insurance that finally felt like the right kind of “win.” We're joined by Senior Broker Kaylee Higginbotham for the first conversation in our Career Conversations series, and her story is proof that the straight-line career is the rare one.We talk about what it really takes to build a meaningful career in the insurance industry when your results depend on relationships. Kaylee breaks down the unglamorous truth behind “being a people person”: your network with retail agents and underwriters is built with consistency, a plan, and the grit to hear “no” and call again next month. She also shares the mentor advice that still steadies her today and how that mindset changes everything from prospecting to recovering after a lost deal. If you're exploring insurance careers, wholesale broker roles, or looking for practical career development advice inside a relationship-driven business, this one is packed with takeaways.

In this episode of Oncology Unplugged, host Chandler Park, MD, a medical oncologist at Norton Cancer Institute in Louisville, Kentucky, was joined by Pashtoon Kasi, MD, MS, the medical director of GI Medical Oncology, the Rad Family Chair in Gastrointestinal Oncology, and an associate clinical professor in the Department of Medical Oncology & Therapeutics Research at City of Hope Orange County in Irvine, California.Their discussion centered on the rapid rise of neoadjuvant immunotherapy in colorectal cancer (CRC) management, framing the shift in which immunotherapy is given upfront and surgery becomes the adjuvant step as a genuine paradigm change. Drs Park and Kasi grounded the conversation in the biology of mismatch repair–deficient (dMMR)/microsatellite instability–high tumors, which harbor a high neoantigen load, rendering them sensitive to checkpoint blockade.A major focus was the treatment evolution that stemmed from data from the phase 3 ATOMIC trial (NCT02912559), which added atezolizumab (Tecentriq) to FOLFOX (leucovorin, fluorouracil, oxaliplatin) in stage III dMMR disease, to the NICHE clinical trial series from the Netherlands, in which brief neoadjuvant nivolumab (Opdivo) plus 1 dose of ipilimumab (Yervoy) produced near-universal responses. Dr Kasi then detailed his own NEST trials, which replicated this short-course design using the Fc-enhanced CTLA-4 inhibitor botensilimab plus balstilimab, notably extending activity into the larger mismatch repair–proficient/microsatellite stable (MSS) population with sustained disease-free survival.Drs Park and Kasi explored mechanistic insights that have been seen with CRC drugs, including an "inside-out" serosal-to-mucosal response pattern, regulatory T cell depletion, and the rationale that an intact tumor and lymph nodes provide more antigens than the postsurgical setting. They also discussed circulating tumor DNA as an emerging surrogate end point, the implications of data from the phase 3 STELLAR-303 trial (NCT05425940) of an immunomodulatory TKI plus atezolizumab (Tecentriq) in patients with MSS disease, liver metastases as an immunosuppressive niche, and the alarming rise of early-onset CRC.

Welcome back to Intellicast! Brian is fresh off the Corporate Researchers Conference in Chicago, and Gabby joins him to break down the biggest themes, conversations, and takeaways from this year's event. Before getting into CRC, they also cover several market research news stories involving AI, data privacy, respondent verification, and industry consolidation. The episode opens with the two discussing Qualtrics' announcement of XM Data and AI, an upcoming platform that will combine behavioral intelligence with decades of healthcare experience data. Brian and Gabby debate the potential of the platform, but also raise questions about data ownership and privacy when historical client information becomes part of a broader AI-enabled ecosystem. They then turn to Sago Verify, which introduces additional layers of identity verification and fraud detection across the respondent journey. While both view the move positively, they also stress that identity verification alone cannot solve the industry's quality challenges. Validating that someone is human is only one part of determining whether the data they provide is trustworthy. The second half of the episode shifts entirely to CRC, with Gabby taking on the role of host and asking Brian to unpack what stood out most from the conference. One theme was impossible to miss: AI has become ubiquitous. It is no longer positioned as a unique feature, but as a standard part of research platforms and workflows. The more important conversation has shifted from whether researchers should use AI to how they should use it responsibly. Human judgment remains critical, especially when evaluating AI-generated outputs, but the industry may face a future challenge if junior researchers no longer gain the foundational experience needed to build that judgment. Synthetic data also drew significant attention, although the conversation looked very different from what it did a year or two ago. Rather than being treated as a replacement for traditional research, it is increasingly viewed as a tool with specific applications, limitations, and risks. Validation remains a major hurdle: different models can produce different outputs from the same underlying data, and synthetic audiences require continuous updates to remain useful. Data quality remained another major theme of the conference. Layered protection, collaboration, and shared responsibility were recurring ideas across multiple sessions. The consensus is increasingly clear: protecting data quality cannot sit with a single supplier or technology. It requires coordinated controls throughout the research process. Perhaps the most practical theme, however, was budget pressure. Brand-side research teams are being asked to deliver more work while budgets remain flat or decline. That pressure is reshaping how projects are being executed, with more research brought in-house, heavier use of DIY tools, and greater demands on partners to work faster and more efficiently. Brian also shares some of the lighter moments from the conference, including a visit to Wrigley Field, a packed North Central Chapter happy hour, and an Uber surge that turned a nine-mile ride into a three-digit expense. He closes by highlighting several standout CRC sessions and thanking the Insights Association team for another strong event. He also hints that a few conversations from Chicago may turn into future Intellicast guests. Thanks for tuning in!

They say that every son of a gun deserves a lawyer and his day in court; it's a core principle of the American legal system. But certain lawyers informally focus on certain cases and certain clients, often for ideological reasons. That raises the question: Who do Communists—both foreign Communist regimes and Americans facing investigation for alleged Communist activities—call when they need counsel? The answer, often, is Rabinowitz, Boudin, Standard, Krinsky & Lieberman, P.C., which has made a name for itself as the preferred U.S. legal representatives of clients including Cuba's Communist government, Vietnam War draft opponents and Communist-influenced labor unions, among others. Joining us today to discuss RBSKL is our CRC colleague Robert Stilson, who just conducted a major research project for our InfluenceWatch project on the law firm. Links:https://www.influencewatch.org/for-profit/rabinowitz-boudin-standard-krinsky-lieberman-p-c-rbskl/https://www.influencewatch.org/non-profit/national-lawyers-guild/https://www.influencewatch.org/non-profit/venceremos-brigade/https://www.influencewatch.org/organization/weather-underground-weatherman-weathermen/

Jason records solo with an update on why the show has been quiet and what comes next. The reruns earlier this summer were intentional. We wanted listeners to hear the conversations we were having three, four, and five years ago, before the fights, and to hear the contrast between that tone and the conversations about Synod. Jason's reason for running them: it's easy to move on to the next fight without stopping to look at how good God has been to the Christian Reformed Church. Then the posting stopped, and people noticed. Jason has gotten text messages asking whether everything is okay. The show has been running for almost six years without missing much; the only long gap was the two or three months when he almost died. That's not what's happening this time. Two things happened over the summer. Dan DeGraff's church blessed him with a sabbatical, and he stepped away from his responsibilities at the Messy Reformation for those months. Jason, coming off a year of stepping into two new roles at a church and a school, treated his own summer much the same way. Two of the three of them were out for three months, and then the school year started. The gap turned into a chance to think. For about five years it was clear what the main conversation in the CRC needed to be. Those conversations have largely been wrapped up. There are still plenty of issues, but less agreement about which one is central. So the question the team is sitting with is what role God has for the Messy Reformation in the life of the church right now. Jason is direct about not wanting to have conversations for conversation's sake, or put out episodes for the sake of putting out content. Out of that comes a listener survey. Jason grounds the request in the conviction that the Holy Spirit speaks more clearly through large groups of people, which is why the church has classes and synods. He wants to know who is listening, why, what has been useful, and where listeners think the CRC is going. He also names the shift the denomination has made into a rebuilding phase, and says the podcast likely needs to shift toward it. And he is hoping to bring back the Messy Reformation conference in Wisconsin next summer. He asks for patience and for prayer while the team works this out.

On this podcast, we largely cover who funds the groups and people who are influencing public policy — and today we'll be diving into the abyss of labor unions with our regular host and CRC's research director, Mike Watson.Thirty years ago, a former teachers-union operative named Max Green wrote a book called Epitaph for American Labor. He came not to praise the American labor movement but to bury it. Mike went back to that book at the thirty-year mark to ask whether Green was right — and his answer is yes, and it's worse than Green thought. Links:https://capitalresearch.org/article/an-epitaph-for-a-distinctly-american-labor-movement-at-30/https://www.aei.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/-epitaph-for-american-labor_125813738926.pdf?x91208https://capitalresearch.org/article/the-thesis-that-drove-american-politics-crazy-part-1/https://capitalresearch.org/article/a-republican-plan-to-resurrect-obamas-assault-on-labor-union-democracy/

Errl Hill built one of California's last craft BHO live resin operations out of Humboldt. Here's what it actually took.Scott and Harry of Errl Hill came up through the legacy market before most people had heard the word legalization. Scott started in Humboldt in 2006, running grow teardowns every 90 days to beat landlord walkthroughs. Harry left Atlanta at 16 and found his footing on Grateful Dead tour before spending two decades in the California underground. The brand they built together is one of the few craft BHO live resin operations left in the state that is doing it right, and this conversation is the unfiltered version of how that happened.They break down why BHO live resin still produces a more flavorful extract than live rosin for certain strains, how CRC color remediation chromatography strips terpenes and passes off adulterated product as quality hash, and why fake terpenes added back into low-grade extract have quietly damaged the entire live resin category. They also explain how the Blueberry Muffin strain from Humboldt Seed Company became the product Errl Hill is known for, and why some cultivars simply do not wash well but shine under BHO.The conversation goes deep into what the 2021 California cannabis market crash cost the Humboldt community, how Prop 64 shuttered more farms than any law enforcement raid ever did, and what it means for a legacy operator to build a branded product instead of wholesaling into a broken market.

Riding Shotgun With Charlie #260 Toby Leary The Civil Rights Coalition Cape Gun Works RapidFire Radio   Massachusetts has been seeing the opposite of Bruen since 2023. The Beacon Hill politicians have been doubling down on attacking the Rights of the Bay State gun owners and the non-gun owning subjects, too.    It started with the "Gun Law Listening Tour", where one state representative was tasked with "modernizing" the Mass gun laws. Instead, they did the opposite. Then they stepped it up a notch. The 11 tour stops all around the Commonwealth were mostly packed with anti-gun folks or people who were not gun people. They didn't know the laws. They don't understand how getting a license to carry works or what is required. Let alone what happens when someone buys a firearm from a retailer.    We all know the fallout from the 'listening tour". The politicians decided they know best and overhauled the Mass gun laws. They changed training requirements, making it more difficult, more time consuming, and more expensive. Toby and his crew got into action. They only needed 35,000 signatures to get on the ballot. Then over 46,000 to have the law suspended until the election. Without any paid signature gatherers, they got over 100,000 signatures. But it was too late. The governor signed an 'emergency preamble" and made the law go into effect 71 days after she signed the bill    When the politicians realized that they didn't have the requirements, they pushed the new training back 18 months. And even then, they didn't have things figured out. They asked instructors for input in the month before the change was to happen. Even so, they've suspended the live fire requirement. But they're still trying to figure out how they can get the public into private ranges.   Toby has been on a roll for nearly two years. He's got a radio show on Sundays and he's always talking about Chapter 135 and the CRC. Besides that, he's running Cape Gun Works and a woodworking company. He spoke at the Mass GOP rally in Worcester, Mass, at the DCU Center.  There  has been a few years of instability with the Mass gun laws and Chapter 135. First, Mass State Representative Michael Day, who was tasked with "modernizing" the laws, didn't even know what was in the bill. Therefore, he couldn't have written it. It was probably written by Everytown and Giffords, as Day met with Gabby Giffords in the State House in Boston. So the politicians don't know what was in the bill. Recently, a local police officer came in to ask Toby some questions. He tried explaining it as best he could, but the officer said his plan was to arrest the person and let the courts figure it out. Therefore, it's going to cost someone his savings and fortune, possibly his house, and his reputation if he gets arrested for some charges for something that was legal just two years ago.    The Coalition did a poll recently and found out that there weren't nearly as many Republicans as Democrats, but 73% of the people;polled believed in the Second Amendment. This injustice of the process affects everyone in Massachusetts, not just gun owners. If the politicians do what they want, there will be no stopping them. And it's harder to stop them, if they have disarmed the citizens.    If you're a Massachusetts resident, you need to vote "No On 9" to repeal all of Chapter 135. It's the law that has gone too far. To help raise money, there's a fundraiser on September 19, 2026. Anyone can bid on the auctions. It's called Lawyers, Guns, and Money. Both Toby and Mark Smith from Four Boxes Diner are the speakers at the live event.    Favorite quotes: "We aren't your problem! Go after the bad guys!" "We were able to get 100,000 signatures in five weeks without a single paid signature gatherer." "She abused her power to do this, and she did it in an unprecedented way." "Arrest, prosecute, and let the courts figure it out."

Recorded days after Synod 2023. Last of three reruns in the Before We Knew series. Jason says at the outset that he is not getting into the weeds of what happened at synod. He had been processing the week out loud with Rachel, including his own committee's material being tabled to the following year, and her reply was: so you're telling me that reformation is messy. He takes that as the correction. His own impatience keeps him expecting things to move quickly and on his timeline, and they never do. Over the course of the drive he moved from discouraged to encouraged. The middle of the episode is two texts. From 2 Corinthians, which he points out is probably Paul's fourth letter to Corinth rather than his second — the church there was a mess for a long time and no single letter fixed it. He reads 2 Corinthians 1:8-11, on being burdened beyond strength and despairing of life itself so as to rely not on ourselves but on God who raises the dead, and 2 Corinthians 4:7-11, treasure in jars of clay, afflicted but not crushed. The point he draws from both: if reformation comes to the CRC it will be because God did it, not because anyone was powerful or smart. Then Calvin, writing about Geneva after his expulsion, as he considered returning. Placed in that station by God like a sentinel at his post, from which it would be impiety to move a single foot; not a day passed in which he did not ten times over long for death, and yet the thought of leaving never came. Jason applies it directly: this is not an excuse to leave, it is a call to stay, even when disappointed, even when frustrated, even when out-politicked. He then lists what synod actually accomplished, against the mood people left with. Two vote counts were given, at 72 percent and 68 percent conservative, in line with the year before — and he says plainly that he was wrong, having predicted 60 to 66 percent for months. Synod 2022 was not a fluke and neither was 2023. Confessional status was upheld. Neland Avenue's appeal was not sustained. Classes and the denomination's institutions and agencies were instructed to come into alignment. The majority report on gravamen was about to pass, which he reads as the reason the end of synod became as chaotic as it did. He also names a new unity among conservative delegates, quoting a brother who texted afterward that for the first time in thirty years he had found the kind of brothers he expected to meet in seminary in the nineties. The charge comes last. The work stopped on the one-yard line, everyone knows where the ball is, and the question is who will lead the CRC now. He quotes a text he received — if conservatives leave now, they never wanted to lead anything — and directs it at his own side: stay and lead your congregation, your classis, your denomination. He closes on reward. Hebrews 11 on Moses counting the reproach of Christ greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt because he was looking ahead to his reward, and 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 on light momentary affliction preparing an eternal weight of glory. Good work was done at Synod 2023 and it did not produce the earthly outcome people wanted; it may never. The reward is stored elsewhere.

We are excited to continue our California COBT Series with a discussion featuring Francisco Leon, President and CEO of California Resources Corporation (CRC). This episode was the culmination of a full day with the CRC team studying California's oil and gas complex firsthand. We started at the Port of Long Beach, traveled north to CRC's Elk Hills operations near Bakersfield, and ended the day in Santa Clarita, where we sat down with Francisco to discuss what we had seen and the broader outlook for California energy. Along the way, we visited with Dean Persinger, Vice President of the Wilmington Production Complex, at the Port of Long Beach; Gabby Gonzales, Senior External Affairs Advisor, at Elk Hills to discuss CRC's community engagement efforts; as well as Joe Jephson, Engineering Manager at Carbon TerraVault, and Brent Ilott, Vice President of Operations of the Elk Hills Production Complex. The day gave us the opportunity to see the breadth of California energy production up close and better understand the infrastructure and policies shaping the state's energy system. It was a unique opportunity to see CRC's operations firsthand and spend time with the people working across the company's California footprint. In our conversation with Francisco, we discuss the changing energy landscape in California and the state's efforts to balance affordability, reliability, environmental priorities, and local energy production. Francisco shares his perspective on a more constructive environment for energy investment, including improved permitting activity in Kern County and the growing focus on the costs and energy-security implications of relying on imported energy. We discuss CRC's evolution into a broader California energy platform and the significant optionality across its existing asset base. We explore the history and future of CRC's Long Beach and Elk Hills operations, including conventional oil and gas production, power generation, carbon capture and sequestration, and the proposed Golden Valley data center development. We cover CRC's recently announced Crimson acquisition and the strategic value of ~2,000 miles of pipeline infrastructure across California, the company's broader consolidation strategy following the Aera and Berry transactions, and how CRC could increasingly serve as both an operator and an enabler for additional capital, partnerships, and development in the state. Francisco also shares his thoughts on company culture, community engagement, and the importance of working constructively with regulators, political leadership, and local communities. Mike Bradley patched in and kicked us off by noting that the 30-year U.S. Treasury yield was trading at ~5.3%, its highest level in two decades, despite relatively subdued inflation data the previous week. He highlighted the record pace of bond issuance financing the AI infrastructure buildout and the possibility that it could be competing with heavy U.S. government issuance for capital and contributing to higher borrowing costs. Turning to equities, both the Dow and S&P 500 have modestly declined this week as second-quarter earnings season winds down and investors look ahead to NVIDIA's results next week. In energy markets, WTI crude had risen ~$3/barrel this week to ~$85/barrel, largely reflecting expectations that the Iran conflict will remain an ongoing issue as the 60-day MOU expires. European natural gas prices have also increased to ~$22/MMBtu, up ~$2/MMBtu over the past couple of weeks. TTF prices are now up ~140% this year, with EU storage levels, particularly in Germany, well below seasonal five-year averages and below levels seen in 2021 ahead of the sharp increase in gas prices during the 2021-2022 winter. The energy sector has posted modest gains alongside higher crude prices. With second-quarter earnings largely complete, Mike expects sector performance to be driven by oil prices, the broader equity market, and company-specific fundamentals. In power, he highlighted Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro's executive order imposing stricter oversight on proposed data centers, including electricity and water-use guidelines and local approvals, effectively giving communities greater influence over siting decisions. Mark Castiglione joined us throughout the day and added his questions and perspective to the discussion.

An Apple, leave us a really good review and a five-star. Kosher whiskey isn't a blessing on a bottle, it's a production and logistics problem that has to be solved years before the first pour. Tonight I crack open a sealed trio from Buffalo Trace Distillery: Kosher Rye Recipe Bourbon, Kosher Wheat Recipe Bourbon, and Kosher Straight Rye, all at 94 proof and all produced under Chicago Rabbinical Council (CRC) supervision. If you've ever wondered what “CRC certified kosher” actually means for bourbon and rye, this story gets surprisingly practical, surprisingly nerdy, and genuinely fascinating.We walk through the Passover challenge that makes whiskey different from most foods: bourbon matures for years, so you can't simply adjust a recipe for one week and call it done. That leads to the core question of ownership during Passover, and the solution Buffalo Trace put in place starting in 2012, including dedicated barrels, separation and tracking in the warehouse, and bottling line flushing to avoid any contact with non kosher spirits. The timeline matters too, from early planning around 2010 to the first release in 2020, because it shows how far ahead a kosher bourbon program has to be designed.Then we get to what's in the glass. I compare the kosher rye recipe bourbon against standard Buffalo Trace and get hit with caramel, cherry, and a “dusty” note that feels like a throwback. The wheat recipe bourbon leans softer and sweeter with fruit, vanilla, and a candied toffee vibe, while the straight rye brings spice, citrus, clove, and a minty finish that rye fans may love. We also tackle the question everyone asks: isn't most straight whiskey already kosher, and does knowing the process change how you value the bottle?If you enjoyed this deep dive into kosher bourbon, Passover constraints, and Buffalo Trace tasting notes, subscribe, share the episode with a whiskey friend, and leave us a five-star review so more people can find the show.

Recorded days after Synod 2022 adjourned. Second of three reruns in the Before We Knew series. Jason and Willy work through the six questions the podcast then put to every delegate it interviewed: your role at synod, what you learned about yourself and the CRC, what encouraged you, what discouraged you, how your congregation is responding, and where we go from here. Willy served as a young adult representative, a role that can speak on the floor but cannot vote or speak for or against a motion. He questions whether the role should exist at all under a Presbyterian polity, and both note how many actual delegates were young that year, most of them conservative. They sat together on advisory committee three, education and candidacy, which handled the seminary and Calvin reports and the candidate interviews, including the two new Calvin Seminary professors, Wilson Cunha in Old Testament and Yudha Thianto in historical theology. Cunha answered directly on the human sexuality report. Thianto said he would abide by whatever synod decided, which left people uneasy. On what encouraged them: orthodoxy prevailed, and it prevailed by margins nobody expected. Four things passed — penal substitutionary atonement, the majority report on human sexuality, confessional status for its teaching, and disciplinary action against Neland Avenue — all by supermajorities in the range of 70 to 75 percent. Jason expected to come home wrecked and did not. He credits the fellowship among delegates and answered prayer, including moments where several delegates arrived at the same conviction separately during deliberations. On what discouraged them: hostility toward orthodoxy in some quarters, arguments from personal testimony treated as equal to Scripture, and conduct on the floor that was out of order on a worldwide livestream. Jason was criticized for repeating the word clarity, and answers the charge that the CRC has made an idol of it: clarity is not about being right, it is what makes pastoral guidance possible. He also names tone deafness, particularly the reasoning that professors should be asked only whether they will abide by synod's decisions rather than what they believe, and traces it to the distance between Grand Rapids and the rest of the denomination. Willy answers with Luther at the Diet of Worms on conscience captive to the word of God. The hardest section is about their own side. Off social media all week, Jason came home to find not only anger from those who wanted an affirming outcome, which he expected, but conservatives who were angry that synod had not gone far enough. Willy answers that watching a livestream is not the same as reading the room. Jason argues from church revitalization: this was the first disciplinary action against a congregation in over twenty years, small wins come before large ones, and nobody thought the work was finished after one synod. They also read the closest vote of the week, the defeated catechism footnote at about 51 percent, as a matter of people not having had time to think it through beforehand. On congregations: Willy's church was glad of the results and worried about a split, and he tells them that separation may be inevitable when both sides believe the gospel is at stake. Jason reads an email from an orthodox pastor who got everything he hoped for from synod and now has a congregation in turmoil, with members asking whether they can still belong. Both argue for giving churches time to repent before stronger action, and Jason ties it to Hebrews 12 — discipline is not designed to remove someone from the family. He mentions the Neland elder who said, with a smile, that synod would have to kick them out. They close on where to go from here. Willy names the three marks of the true church: preaching, sacraments, discipline. Jason wants the in loco committee under the new general secretary held to its work, and a warning that Paul Vander Klay's prediction may hold — that some will leave from the left and some conservatives from the right. His closing word is to the conservatives: this is step one, stay.

What happens to employees at private companies when years, or even decades, pass before a liquidity event? Atish Davda, co-founder and CEO of EquityZen, has created a pathway for private market sales to help employers lower risk, boost employee retention and ultimately get the most out of pre-IPO life. In this episode of Invested at Work, Atish and host Rodney Bolden delve into the tension employees face when waiting for a liquidity event while their own financial needs can't wait—whether that's purchasing a home, sending kids to college or, in Atish's case, buying an engagement ring. They discuss employer-backed solutions, plus the mistakes Atish made while scaling EquityZen, including the rollout of critical employer-sponsored savings programs. Atish Davda co-founded EquityZen in 2013 and was also the company's first engineer. As CEO, Atish has since grown the marketplace for pre-IPO stocks to nearly one million subscribers, making private stocks available to the public.

Fewer EPA headlines can feel like a green light, but environmental liability does not disappear when oversight fades. We sit down with CRC environmental specialists Harrison Scheider and Dustin Helmenstein to unpack the biggest misconception we hear from insureds and even seasoned agents: “less regulation means less environmental risk.” The laws that create liability largely remain, and the pollution exclusion in GL and property policies can turn an everyday incident into a painful coverage surprise.We dig into what makes environmental claims so tricky, and along the way, we connect the dots for common insured profiles including contractors, manufacturers, real estate owners, habitational and hotel risks, healthcare, and municipalities, plus what faster permitting and accelerated construction can change on the ground.To keep it practical, we share four questions retail agents can use right now to uncover exposures early, create better renewal conversations, and avoid relying on limited GL endorsements that are not true affirmative pollution coverage. If you want a clearer, more confident way to talk environmental insurance, pollution liability, and coverage gaps with clients, hit play and take notes.  Visit REDYIndex.com for critical pricing analysis and a snapshot of the marketplace.Do you want to take your career to the next level?

Recorded in May 2022, weeks before Synod 2022. First of three reruns in the Before We Knew series, pulled from the years before the CRCNA's direction was settled. A solo episode. Jason works through the fear of the Pharisees — Matthew 21:45-46, Mark 11:18, Luke 22:1-2 — where the religious leaders intend to arrest and kill Jesus and hold back because they fear the crowds. He applies it to the delegates heading to synod, alongside 1 Corinthians 16:13: be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. He then describes his own fear. He shakes when he speaks up in a group. A year or two into ministry as a youth pastor, he sat through a contentious congregational meeting, disagreed with where it was going, and said nothing, because he was afraid of what speaking would cost his position and his relationships. He drove home resolved never to do it again. The definition of courage follows: not the absence of fear, but fearing God more than men and moving forward anyway. The second half takes up the arguments circulating before synod — fear of damage, fear of disunity, fear of a rash decision. He names delay as a tactic rather than caution, argues that smaller forces stretch out a fight when they know the numbers are against them, and holds that the majority in the pews were orthodox on sexuality. He cites the Chesterton line that a soldier fights for what is behind him rather than against what is in front of him, and lists what he longs for: a denomination he is not ashamed of, one that disciplines false teaching, that hires people worth being excited about, that is known for standing firm. He closes on 1 Corinthians 15:10 — Paul working harder than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God — and argues that courage comes through faith rather than from within. The episode ends with Acts 20:22-24 adapted to synod: going constrained by the Spirit, not knowing what waits, counting his life of no value if only he may finish the course.

Colorectal cancer does not develop in isolation. Cancer cells exist within a complex tumor microenvironment made up of fibroblasts, immune cells, blood vessels, and extracellular matrix. Increasing evidence suggests that these surrounding cells and structures can influence whether tumors grow, regress, or evade the immune system. A research paper published in Volume 17 of Oncotarget, titled “Microenvironmental CTHRC1 has a pro-tumorigenic role in colorectal cancer,” investigated the role of collagen triple helix repeat containing 1 (CTHRC1), a secreted protein found in cancer-associated stroma.

It's a conversation about the work most people never see – but every cardiovascular organization needs.

Ralph Wigboldus has been in the boiling water longer than most of us. A senior pastor in Woodstock, Ontario, and a six-year veteran of the Council of Delegates, he came to Synod 2026 tired and half-hoping someone else would carry the load. He left overjoyed. In Part 1 of our conversation, Ralph gives American listeners something they rarely hear clearly: the Canadian side of the last decade, from the fight over financial autonomy to the push for a separate, more progressive denomination that finally fell flat. This is the encouraging episode. Where 2022 and 2023 felt like trench warfare, Ralph describes a Synod marked by mutual love and respect, disagreement handled with grace. He walks us through his advisory committee's work on Resonate's ten-year church-planting plan and what struck him most: this wasn't pitched as a gimmick to arrest decline, but as the plain mission of the church, regardless of the numbers. Under it all runs the refrain we've carried for two years now: the CRC is moving out of the fight stage of this Reformation and into the build stage. Ralph reaches back to the Reformation itself, and to Calvin's Geneva as a nursery for church planters, to make the point. By the end the denominational vision has come home to a single sentence: it's on us. Part 1 leaves us right on the edge of the practical question we take up next.

If you've ever felt like nobody around you understands what it's like to lose your old identity to a diagnosis, this episode names that experience using language borrowed from an unlikely place: sport psychology. The same identity disruption athletes face after a career-ending injury shows up almost exactly the same way after a chronic illness diagnosis.In this episode, you'll hear from Kelsey Ruffing, MA, MS, LCPC, who draws a direct line between an athlete being ignored by a coach and a chronically ill patient being dismissed by a doctor, and explains why both create the same kind of lasting trust injury.Connect with Destiny:  Instagram / Facebook / Website______________________________

Why do writ petitions so often fail? Judge Tom Fay covers the technical writ rules that attorneys often overlook. In part 2 of our conversation with former lead writs attorney at the Santa Ana Court of Appeal, Judge Fay covers the CRC 8.486 and local rule requirements for your writ petition, the available remedies for a writ petition—Palma notice, alternative writ, or OSC—and the underappreciated complexity of supersedeas.Key points:STAY REQUESTED must be on the cover—in bold, all caps: This single line triggers immediate routing to writ staff.Palma, alternative writ, OSC each signal something different: A suggestive Palma notice generally means the panel agrees with the petitioner; an OSC may mean the panel wants to write a published opinion and could lean toward the trial court.Alternative writs are not law of the case: Roullier v. Cannondale, 101 Cal.App.4th 1180—a trial court that complies with an alternative writ can still be reversed on appeal.Supersedeas is a motion for stay, not a true original proceeding: Veyna v. Orange County Nursery, Inc. (2009) 170 Cal.App.4th 146.Appellate lawyers: what else is on your emergency writ checklist?

In the second half of our post-Synod conversation, Zack Flipse and Jason move from how Synod 2026 felt to what it means for the work ahead. There's encouragement, but there are also some concerns. The biggest thread here is a worry both share: the CRC has an exciting church planting vision, but plant churches poorly and you can do damage to the denomination. Reformation isn't just about doing more; it's about doing it in a way that fits our ecclesiology. That's why Zack keeps half-joking that we need a study committee on ecclesiology, and why he's unembarrassed to say it: "I want to be part of a denomination that's doing theology." From there the conversation ranges widely. They name the three streams of the CRC—confessionalist, pietist, transformationalist—and make the case that the church is stronger for holding all three. They look ahead to the Christian nationalism study report, arguing the Dutch Reformed tradition is uniquely equipped to speak here, with Kuyper and Bavinck in our own lineage—so long as we actually do the theology rather than just point back to it. And they return to Jason's hobby horse since day one: a denomination is healthy when local churches are engaged, not when they outsource their convictions to Grand Rapids. Zack shares the kids' Heidelberg Catechism project he makes with his daughters—question one, "What gives you comfort? That I belong to Jesus"—because instead of complaining that the resource didn't exist, he decided to build it. Then Jason gives him the final word, and Zack delivers the line that names the whole vision: "Figure out what you can do to plant a church so that more people worship Jesus tomorrow than worship Him today.
