A St. Croix attorney, Russell Pate, objected to a proposed class-action settlement that would resolve sexual assault and trafficking claims against Jeffrey Epstein's estate and sharply limit future lawsuits tied to Epstein's crimes. The proposed deal would cover claims dating from January 1, 1995, through Epstein's death on August 10, 2019, while releasing the estate and its managers, Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn, from current and future litigation. Pate argued that the settlement could extinguish the rights of unknown survivors who had never received meaningful notice and who might still have viable claims under the laws of the U.S. Virgin Islands or other jurisdictions. He also objected to the fact that the agreement could preserve tens of millions of dollars for distribution under Epstein's will rather than leaving those funds available for future claimants.Pate also argued that the New York settlement could undercut ongoing legal rights in the Virgin Islands, where Epstein's estate is administered and where the law allows claims, including punitive damages, to survive a defendant's death. He maintained that survivors who later came forward should not be forced to give up the ability to sue the estate in the Virgin Islands simply because of a settlement negotiated elsewhere. His central objection was that the agreement would provide sweeping protection to the estate while potentially shutting out women who had not yet come forward, creating what he described as a due-process problem. Pate urged the court to modify the settlement so future survivors could still pursue claims and so more of the estate's remaining assets would be preserved for victims rather than distributed to heirs or others connected to Epstein.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:V.I.

We're auditing the hidden maritime highway of fat, acid, and raw heat connecting the American Gulf Coast straight to the Atlantic territories—where North Alabama pitmasters dunk whole hickory-smoked birds into black-peppered cider-mayo baths, and Puerto Rican street vendors weaponized the exact same industrial emulsion into garlicky Salsa Rosada to anchor every hot fritter in Piñones. Further west, Greek-owned Mississippi diners engineered Comeback Sauce as an addictive, paprika-heavy hospitality trap, while island cooks deep in the Cordillera Central relied on sizzling hot-oil Mojo Criollo to shock raw garlic into roasted pork perfection. To round out the coast, St. Croix turned Danish trade routes, Indian spices, and wild green mangoes into a blistering, sweet-sour Crucian chutney that cuts through whole-fried reef fish like a precision scalpel.---Follow us:Twitter / X: @LTSundryInstagram: @LTS.PodYouTube: Life, Tech, and Sundry (Subscribe and hit the bell!)Available across Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and all major podcast platforms.---☕ SUPPORT THE BRIEFINGS:Researching these regional recipes and tracking culinary infrastructure runs on a dangerous amount of caffeine.

Georges MOTHRON, maire d'Argenteuil, vice-président de l'Établissement public territorial (EPT) Boucle-Nord de Seine, vice-Président de France Urbaine C'est une première depuis 1200 ans ! Vendredi, la Sainte-Tunique d'Argenteuil quittera la basilique Saint-Denys pour rejoindre le Stade de France, om aura lieu la veillée des jeunes avec le pape Léon XIV. Un voyage exceptionnel pour cette relique classée monument historique et dont la ville d'Argenteuil (Val d'Oise) est propriétaire. Selon la tradition, la Sainte Tunique revêtit le corps du Christ supplicié. Les soldats romains la tirèrent au sort au pied de la Croix. Pour cette ostension exceptionnelle, un nouveau reliquaire vitré, fabriqué par un ébéniste parisien, l'exposera déployée aux yeux des quelque 80 000 jeunes qui assisteront à la veilée. Léon XIV sera le premier pape à vénérer la Sainte Tunique. Maire d'Argenteuil, d'une lignée de vignerons argenteuillais depuis le XIVe siècle (!), Georges Mothron se réjouit que la Sainte Tunique soit ainsi rendue visible dans le monde entier. La dernière ostension à Pâques 2025 avait attiré à Argenteuil quelque 200 000 fidèles.Hébergé par Audiomeans. Visitez audiomeans.fr/politique-de-confidentialite pour plus d'informations.

In this episode of the Mastering Rod Building Podcast, Bill Falconer talks with longtime angler, outdoor media personality, and rod builder Jim Crowley about how decades of tournament fishing, television, writing, lure building, and product development have shaped the way he approaches custom fishing rods. Crowley shares how his fishing career evolved from competitive angling into outdoor television and radio before eventually leading him into rod building.Jim explains how his early work with St. Croix and rod designer Mike Thorson taught him to think closely about rod length, power, action, and matching a rod to a specific fishing technique. Years later, encouragement from Don Morse helped push him into building his own rods when he realized he wanted combinations of actions and lengths that he was not finding in off-the-shelf equipment.The conversation explores why Jim believes building his own rods has actually made him a better angler. He explains that designing a rod around a particular lure forces him to pay closer attention to every part of the fishing system, including the rod, reel, line, lure presentation, retrieve speed, and what the bait is doing throughout every cast.Bill and Jim also dive into the development of Jim's technique-specific rod kits with Mud Hole, including rods designed specifically for bladed jigs, hair jigs, jerkbaits, and Ned rigs. Jim breaks down the years of experimentation behind his bladed-jig setup, from testing different lines and rod actions to eventually settling on a composite blank that provides enough sensitivity to detect a bite while still allowing the rod to load deeply and keep fish pinned.Jim also shares the story behind his hair-jig rod and why a 1/16-ounce hair jig can be such an effective tool for smallmouth bass and other species. He explains the importance of long casts, slow retrieves, light line, and a rod with enough parabolic action to serve as a shock absorber when fishing tiny hooks and light tackle. The conversation includes examples from recent trips where the hair jig produced quality smallmouth when other techniques struggled.Bill and Jim finish by discussing downsized bladed jigs, matching lure size to young-of-the-year forage, building rods around highly specialized fishing techniques, and the satisfaction that comes from catching fish on equipment you designed and built yourself. Jim emphasizes that custom rod building is not simply about creating a fishing rod—it can help anglers understand their equipment, presentation, and fishing techniques at a much deeper level.Mastering Rod Building is brought to you by Anglers Resource — your source for genuine Fuji Tackle components.Where to buy genuine FUJI®️ rod components (Area Distributors)Japan: FIRST Corporation — https://first-fuji.co.jp/ • mail@first-fuji.co.jpAmerican Continent (North & South America): Anglers Resource — https://anglersresource.net/ • info@anglersresource.netOceania: Frogleys Offshore — https://fujitackle.com.au • enquiries@frogleysoffshore.com.auSpain/Czech/Finland/Sweden/Estonia/Latvia/Poland/Denmark/Belgium/Germany/Netherlands/Ireland/Luxembourg/France/Portugal/UK/Norway/Belarus/Ukraine/Russia:: CALICO S.A.

Nous sommes le 22 décembre 1833, à Paris. Le compositeur Hector Berlioz se souvient d'un concert qu'il donne au conservatoire. Il écrit : « J'eus peur de compromettre l'exécution en conduisant l'orchestre moi-même. Habeneck refusa obstinément de le diriger ; mais Girard, qui était alors fort de mes amis, consentit à accepter cette tâche et s'en acquitta bien. La Symphonie fantastique figurait encore dans le programme ; elle enleva d'assaut d'un bout à l'autre les applaudissements. Le succès fut complet, j'étais réhabilité. Mes musiciens (…) rayonnaient de joie en quittant l'orchestre. Enfin pour comble de bonheur (…), un homme à la longue chevelure, à l'œil perçant, à la figure étrange et ravagée, un possédé du génie, un colosse parmi les géants, que je n'avais jamais vu, et dont le premier aspect me troubla profondément, m'attendit seul dans la salle, m'arrêta au passage pour me serrer la main, m'accabla d'éloges brûlants qui m'incendièrent le cœur et la tête ; c'était Paganini !! » « un possédé du génie » écrit Berlioz … Il se murmure même que l'Italien aurait vendu son âme au diable. En tous les cas l'évêque de Nice, où le compositeur, meurt en 1840, refusera d'enterrer son corps, il faudra attendre la réhabilitation prononcée par le pape Pie IX, trente-six ans plus tard, pour qu'il soit inhumé, à Parme. Paganini n'est pas le seul à avoir été accusé de pacte avec les forces du mal. Les siècles ne sont pas avares en la matière : artistes ou pas, hommes et femmes seront nombreux et nombreuses à être suspecté.e.s. Pourquoi ? A quand remonte ce thème du pacte avec le diable ? Comment a-t-il traversé le temps ? Avec nous Arnaud de la Croix, philosophe et historien. « Le pacte avec le diable » ; éd. Racine.

Dave Kranz creator of the WeFishASA podcast would like you to listen to this week's episode. Ryan Teach Vice President of Product Innovation talks about St. Croix's salt water offerings. Jim Crowley tells us about his fall fishing trips coming up soon. Bryan Schmitt tells us how he got the win on lake Champlain in New York last week. He was fishing the Bassmaster Elite tournament. 

On August 8, 2026, the Waterfall Unity Alliance in Schoharie County held an interfaith Water Prayer that brought water protectors from numerous First Nations together. Here, the Panther Creek - a tributary of the Schoharie Creek and Mohawk River - is threatened by a proposed fracked gas pipeline, as is the Upper Susquehanna watershed. The Constitution Pipeline was rejected by New York in 2015, but the Trump administration has pushed to re-introduce projects like this in an attempt to break fracking bans and stricter clean air and water acts that states like New York have passed. A Women's Walk will follow this prayer next month, along the 113 mile route threatened by this project. Organizers Abuela Kunana, Erin Dudley, Bethany Yarrow, Sandra Owén:nakon Deer-Standup of the Kanien'kehá:ka Mohawk Nation, and Owl of the Ramapo Munsee Lenape Nation, spoke with HMM reporter Sal Rochelle in West Fulton NY. Simultaneously, environmental justice activists and indigenous water protectors also held Water Prayers in seventeen other cities, including New York City; Calumet, OK; Utuado, Puerto Rico; Croix la Mision, Haiti; and Nice, France.

Part 2 - Host Neville James, Karl Knight, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director of the Virgin Islands Water and Power Authority, and Shannel Spencer, WAPA's Director of Corporate Communications, continue their in-depth discussion on the authority's financial challenges, power generation capacity, infrastructure upgrades, and drought-related impacts on water service. They address deferred maintenance, federal mitigation funding, system resiliency projects, electrical reliability in St. Thomas, St. John, and St. Croix, water production and distribution concerns, and ongoing efforts to strengthen the territory's utility infrastructure while responding to questions from the public.

As a teen, Croix spent four days in a coma after being struck by a drunk driver. His family was told he would be a vegetable; if he survived. 40 years later, he is an ultra runner, speaker, and author.

Part 2 - Host Neville James continued the conversation with cultural educators and musicians Dimitri “Pikey” Copeman and Kendall “Casey” Henry om an in-depth discussion of Isidore “IG” Griles's life, contributions, and lasting influence on Virgin Islands music. In a conversation filled with stories and historical reflections, Pikey and Casey highlight the artistry of legendary Quelbe performers including Ira Samuel, James “Jamesy” Brewster, and Soda, while exploring the evolution of Quelbe music, the importance of preserving traditional instruments and techniques, and the need to pass Virgin Islands cultural heritage on to future generations. Throughout the tribute, Pikey Copeman and Casey Henry share personal memories of performing with and learning from IG, describing him as a gifted percussionist, steel and triangle player, mentor, and passionate advocate for Virgin Islands culture whose humility, musicianship, and love for Quelbe left an enduring mark on St. Croix's cultural landscape.

Part 1 - Host Neville James shares observations on weather conditions, hurricane season preparedness, and regional issues affecting the Virgin Islands. Later, Raymond Williams of the VI Lottery highlights a teacher appreciation raffle supporting educators across St. Croix, St. Thomas, and St. John, before Shereen Flax joins from the British Virgin Islands to discuss the controversy surrounding proposed exclusive cruise ship access to The Baths and Devil's Bay, balancing tourism revenues with public beach access and conservation concerns.

Lancement d'une enquête publique Tous les témoignages que reçoit Anne Panasuk décrivent le même scénario : des enfants autochtones sont envoyés à l'hôpital et ne reviennent jamais. Certains y sont morts, sans que leurs parents aient été avisés, tandis que d'autres ont été placés en adoption. Les Innus de Pakuashipi, qui ont mis au jour cette affaire, demandent une enquête publique.

Des disparitions inexpliquées Au début des années 70, neuf enfants d'une toute petite communauté de la Basse-Côte-Nord, Pakuashipi, ont disparu. « Dans une communauté d'alors 80 personnes, [c'était] une véritable saignée », souligne la journaliste Anne Panasuk. Contactée par des membres de la famille de ces enfants disparus, elle se lance dans une quête pour savoir ce qui leur est arrivé.

La revanche du gouvernement ? Au début des années 60, le gouvernement canadien a forcé les Innus de Pakuashipi à quitter leur territoire. Deux ans après cette déportation, ils sont revenus sur leurs terres ancestrales, défiant l'autorité d'Ottawa. Les Innus n'obtenant plus d'aide du fédéral, Anne Panasuk croit que les enfants disparus sont morts faute d'avoir reçu des soins appropriés.

Les crimes des oblats L'oblat Alexis Joveneau, surnommé autrefois le « pape de la Côte-Nord », est désormais connu sous le nom de « monstre de la Côte-Nord ». Ses crimes sordides ont été dévoilés lors des audiences de l'Enquête nationale sur les femmes et les filles autochtones disparues et assassinées. La journaliste Anne Panasuk recueille les témoignages de nombreuses victimes de Joveneau.

Un système corrompu « Chaque communauté semble avoir eu son missionnaire abuseur », constate la journaliste Anne Panasuk.

L'origine du mal Anne Panasuk a recueilli les témoignages incriminants de 10 oblats, mais sa liste en compte 15 en tout. C'est une véritable organisation de prédateurs sexuels.

Daily Boost Podcast Never Let Your Dreams Die August 12, 2026 | Episode 5518 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Have you ever gone all-in on a dream and watched it fall apart anyway? I just got back from Death Valley, where I spent days in 124-degree heat supporting a friend chasing a world record — a solo, self-contained crossing on foot. Nothing was easy. Everything went wrong before it went right. And the ending wasn't the one anybody planned. Today I'm sharing what happens when you go for it anyway — and why the gift you get from trying is different from the one you expected. If your dream feels impossible from where you sit right now, press play. Featured Story Somewhere around 7:30 that night, I noticed something. I don't know what it was. I said stop, got out of the truck, and called him over. Croix looked at me — a guy's dream about to die — and said, I'm getting too hot. I can't control my temperature anymore. I don't have enough water to finish. His heart rate was 109 just standing there. We were 90 miles from anything. It took me ten minutes to talk him out of his dream — maybe ten minutes that saved his life. Then something I didn't expect happened: a big smile crossed his face. Five minutes down the road, a hotel sat with a pool. That's where this story begins. Important Points Facing your passion is hard. Doing it is even harder. Falling short is hardest of all — and worth every step anyway. If your dream feels foggy, you're missing two things: the right information and a real plan to pay for it. Fix both. When someone you love is chasing a dangerous dream, support them fully — and stay close enough to save their life. Memorable Quotes This dream became possible simply because he decided to do it. Decide what you want to do and say, let's do it. The story you get, the gift you get from trying, is often different than the one you thought you were going to get. If it's not going your way, look for the gift you're being given — something more powerful than you can ever imagine. Scott's Three-Step Approach Decide what you want and say it out loud. Every dream becomes possible the moment you commit to going after it. Then solve the money problem before it stops you. Find a sponsor, build a plan, and fund the passion you just named. When the outcome isn't what you planned, hunt for the gift inside it. That lesson becomes fuel for your next attempt.

Part 1 - Neville James opens the program by addressing recent violent incidents in the territory, ongoing concerns about rising crime, widespread drought conditions, power outages affecting St. Thomas and St. John, and the challenges facing the Virgin Islands as residents contend with infrastructure and public safety issues. He also discusses the territory's request for federal drought assistance and the impact of water shortages on residents and farmers. Lisa Anders, Senior Vice President of MCN Build, joins the discussion to explain the planning, design-build process, construction timeline, and costs associated with the new Arthur Richards K-8 School on St. Croix.

Part 2 - Neville James continues the conversation with Lisa Anders, Senior Vice President of MCN Build, about the newly opened Arthur A. Richards Pre-K through 8 School on St. Croix and the factors that influence its construction timeline and cost. Anders explains the design-build process, FEMA funding requirements, supply chain challenges, hurricane-resilient engineering features, and the school's long-term value as both a modern educational facility and community shelter.  The conversation also explores broader issues affecting construction in the Virgin Islands, including transportation logistics, labor, warehousing, taxation, and post-pandemic cost increases.

Randa and Grant sit down with their son, Croix, on the eve of his sixth birthday to capture how he sees the world right now. From God and generosity to ninjas, baseball, and family, this episode is equal parts meaningful, hilarious, and unforgettable.

Part 1 - Host Neville James continues the post-primary election coverage, speaking with Supervisor of Elections Caroline Fawkes about record early voting turnout, absentee ballot counting, election certification, and preparations for the November general election.

Daily Boost Podcast Noise Is the Problem August 4, 2026 | Episode 5512 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Everybody thinks they have a motivation problem. You don't. Science says motivation is built into you from birth. What you actually have is a noise problem — too many inputs, too many options, too many opinions, and way too many open tabs. More is on the other side of less. Every big move you've ever made started with an elimination, not an addition. Today I'll show you why speed comes from removing what's in the way, why subtraction feels so scary, and the delete-first rule that quiets the noise for good. Featured Story I was so excited to go to Death Valley. It's really off the grid — no cell signal, barely any Wi-Fi. I pictured myself sitting in a car supporting my buddy Croix on his run with nothing to scroll, nowhere to click, blissfully unreachable. Then I realized my iPhone has free satellite text messaging. Great — I can still get texts. Then one of the guys announced he's bringing a Starlink, in my car, so I'll have a full internet connection in the middle of the desert. I was having a real problem with this. You can't escape the noise anymore, even in Death Valley. That's exactly the point of today's show. Important Points You were born with motivation — it's built in. What you actually have is a noise problem: too many inputs and opinions. Speed doesn't come from pushing harder. It comes from removing what's in the way, like a race car stripped to go fast. Use the delete-first rule: before you add anything, decide what you'll remove. If the answer is nothing, skip it. Memorable Quotes More is on the other side of less. Every big move you've ever made started with an elimination, not an addition. A race car doesn't go fast on the engine alone. It's fast because they stripped out everything that doesn't make it go. You can't raise the floor while you're carrying the whole garage on your back. Everything in life is subtractive. Scott's Three-Step Approach List every input you've added this year — the apps, courses, planners, opinions — and ask if it's still working. Apply the delete-first rule: before anything new comes in, name exactly what you're willing to remove to make room. Simplify down to the one thing you can do at virtuoso level, because simplicity is the only thing that scales.

Daily Boost Podcast Distraction Can Be Good July 31, 2026 | Episode 5510 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description I've been massively distracted for two weeks — and I saw it coming. I'm heading to Death Valley to help my buddy Croix cross Badwater, and the prep has swallowed everything. My book, my routine, my focus. All of it. But distraction isn't always the enemy. Sometimes it hands you better ideas, gives your brain room to work, and shows you what actually matters. The trick is knowing when distraction is working for you — and when it's stealing the one thing you're supposed to do first. Press play and I'll show you the difference. Featured Story For two weeks, my book sat untouched. My wife reminded me — teasing, but fair. I'd been buried in prepping Croy's Badwater crossing through Death Valley: hours a day, seven days a week, handling logistics and rigging cameras. Then my camera died right on my desk after five years. An hour later, I walked out of Best Buy with a mortgage payment's worth of replacement. What I didn't expect: while I wasn't writing, the book got better. I tested its ideas on coaching calls and watched people respond. Whole sections got demoted or cut. New ones showed up. All because I stepped away and let my brain keep working in the background. Important Points Somebody somewhere is working around the clock to take what you're building, so keep growing or watch it slip away. Doing nothing is still an action with real consequences, so make your choices carefully and stay in positive control. Marketing isn't the piece you plug in at the end. In business and in your career, it's where you're supposed to start. Memorable Quotes It doesn't matter if the glass is half empty or half full. All that matters is you are the one pouring the water. When you do nothing, you're actually taking action. There are ramifications for what you do when you do nothing. Every no gets me closer to yes. No's are part of your story, and if you keep working hard, they lead to many yeses. Scott's Three-Step Approach Name the one thing you're supposed to do first — the marketing, the lead flow, the work everything else depends on. Then protect it before the distraction arrives, because the distraction is coming whether you plan for it or not. Now use the break on purpose, letting your brain work in the background and capturing the better ideas it brings back.

Cette semaine à Fribourg, je rencontre Jean-Jacques de Dardel qui a consacré près de quarante ans de sa vie à la diplomatie suisse. De Washington à Pékin, de Paris à Canberra, de la Croix rouge à l'OTAN en passant par la Francophonie, il a représenté la Suisse sur quelques-unes des scènes du monde les plus stratégiques, et il a dirigé en Chine la plus importante des ambassades suisses à l'étranger. Dans cet épisode, il évoque ce qui ne s'apprend dans aucun manuel : l'art de convaincre dans un contexte où toute négociation semble bloquée. Quelle est la créativité du diplomate ? C'est la question de la semaine.

Part 1 - Host Neville James wraps up the week with a lively mix of Virgin Islands weather, music, and community conversation, featuring birthday wishes for caller “Chin” of St. John and listener contributions from Frank of Frenchtown. Later, Ashley Ward and Duke University students Bree Hidalgo, Christopher Connor, and Hanjin Lee discuss their summer research with the Heat Policy Innovation Hub, reflecting on their experience collecting climate and heat-related data in St. Croix and sharing what they have learned about the Virgin Islands, its people, and the challenges of climate resilience.

Part 2 - Host Neville James is joined by members of Duke University's Heat Policy Innovation Hub, welcoming Ashley Ward, Lynn Ward, and students Nick Contes, Parker Upton, Tim Jung, Christopher Connor, Hunjin Lee, Catherine Hua, Melana Flores, and Bree Hidalgo to reflect on their two-month stay in St. Croix. The students share insights from their heat-mapping and climate resilience research, discuss the lasting impact of collecting and analyzing data in the field, and highlight the Virgin Islands' natural beauty, culture, and hospitality that made their experience both meaningful and memorable. Host Neville James celebrates their contributions while encouraging the students to return to the Virgin Islands and continue building on the relationships and research established during their summer residency.

As the final installment of Fr. John's cycling-French saint pairings, this week's podcast explores the charisms of one of the great friendships of Church history - St. Francis de Sales and St. Jane Frances de Chantal. Centered on the shared life in Annecy and the foundation of the Visitation religious community, Fr. John and Fr. Sean unpack some of the seminal insights of St. Francis' Introduction to the Devout Life. Tying this into the cycling history of the famous Col de la Croix de Fer (or "Pass of the Iron Cross"), they hope to instill a sense of our heroic capacity in Christ through the ordinary and everyday things of life.

Part 1 - Host Neville opens with a candid discussion of legislative fairness, district representation, and the ongoing debate over horse-racing redevelopment, gaming legislation, and the future of the Randall “Doc” James Racetrack on St. Croix. 

Part 1 - Danica M. David joins Neville James to discuss Creative Callaloo: Art, Poems, and Recipes Inspired by the Virgin Islands, the Community Foundation of the Virgin Islands' 2026 Great Reads selection. David reflects on her journey as an artist, educator, and first-time author, sharing stories of growing up in St. Croix, the cultural influences of her grandmothers, and the importance of preserving Virgin Islands traditions through art, literature, and food. The program also highlights the role of local authors in documenting Virgin Islands heritage, celebrates the territory's growing creative community, and features a conversation on the value of public broadcasting and upcoming WTJX gubernatorial, lieutenant governor, and delegate debates.

Daily Boost Podcast Money and Muscles July 14, 2026 | Episode 5497 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description I stayed home over the holiday, skipped Virginia, and wrote 25,000 words in seven days. That's what motivation does. Today I'm talking about my friend Croy, who's about to run 110 miles across Death Valley and climb Mount Whitney — solo, unassisted, at 55. He's scared, and that's the point. I'm digging into why setting a goal with a wall at the end changes you from the inside out, whether you reach it or not. Plus money, muscles, and the strange currencies that keep us moving. Featured Story My friend Croix is getting ready to run across Death Valley. On August 5th, he starts at Badwater, 250 feet below sea level, and runs 110 miles across the desert toward Lone Pine. Then he climbs Mount Whitney, peaking near 15,000 feet. Solo. Unassisted. Towing a wagon. Trying to break a 48-hour record at 55 years old. We worked together to get him a sponsor, and he told me last night he's scared. His body is acting up. He's pulling 75-mile training days and second-guessing everything. I asked him why he's doing it. He said he'll have to die on the course to finish. That's a man who found his motivation. Important Points One of the greatest ways to get motivated is to set a goal with a wall at the end. The payoff is who you become, not just reaching it. The minute you set a nearly impossible goal and step into it, it changes you from the inside out — win or lose. That's the payoff. Motivation is multifold. Find the benefit that keeps you showing up, even if it's not the one you put on the poster. That's the payoff. Memorable Quotes It doesn't matter whether you achieve the goal. The minute you set it and step into it, everything starts changing. That's the payoff. I don't like to do impossible things because they're impossible. The only time I do them is when I don't know they are. When you set a goal like running across Death Valley, first you think it's stupid. Then you can't wait to try it. Scott's Three-Step Approach Start by setting a goal so big it scares you — something with a wall at the end that you almost think you can't do. The payoff is the change it creates. Then step into it immediately, because the change begins the minute you commit, not the day you finally finish. That's the payoff. Finally, borrow motivation from someone else's climb. Tie your goal to theirs and let their finish line pull you. That's the payoff.

Ericka Barnes first appeared on the Journey to Launch podcast in 2019 to share how she reached financial independence in her mid-30s. Since then, her life has looked nothing like a straight line; divorce, layoffs, a new marriage, and a second retirement later, she's back to share the full story. In this brand new episode, Ericka walks us through what she's been up to since our last conversation, from rebuilding financially after a divorce, to reaching chubby FIRE  (Financial Independence Retire Early) in 2023. The financial foundation she had built; real estate, index funds, and a prenup, turned out to be more than a wealth strategy. It was the infrastructure that protected her when life got complicated. Today, Ericka and her husband are fully work-optional, house hacking in St. Croix while splitting time between Atlanta and the US Virgin Islands. This episode is a powerful reminder that financial independence isn't just about retiring early, it's about having the stability and options to navigate whatever life brings, rebuild when necessary, and ultimately design a life on your own terms. In this episode, Ericka shares: How she rediscovered her love of creative writing and the two books she is publishing this year How a prenup protected her financially and emotionally through divorce and why every couple should consider one Why she went back to work after lean firing, what chubby FIRE actually feels like, and the key difference between the two The case for geo arbitrage in a US territory and how she and her husband bought a home in St. Croix with a built-in tenant to offset the mortgage What's New in the Paperback Edition of Your Journey to Financial Freedom: A bonus chapter: When Life Happens: Staying on the Path to Financial Freedom Through Setbacks, Shifts, and Uncertainty A book club and discussion guide with prompts, exercises, and action steps Updated corrections from the original hardcover Exclusive bonuses when you purchase the paperback, including: The Fire Starter Course The Find Your FIRE Number Worksheet Other related blog posts/links mentioned in this episode: Ericka's first episode on the podcast: From Making $35,000 A Year To Being A Millionaire with Ericka Grant The Simple Path to Wealth by JL Collins: jlcollinsnh.com Afford Anything Podcast: affordanything.com Check out the FIRE Calc Get your paperback edition of Your Journey To Financial Freedom if you haven't already.
