Contributor: Aaron Lessen, MD Educational Pearls:  Blunt cerebrovascular injury (BCVI) BCVI is a traumatic injury to the carotid or vertebral arteries Patients may initially have no neurologic symptoms In some cases, a thrombus can form at the site of the injury and later cause ischemic stroke, sometimes hours after the original trauma CT angiography (CTA) of the neck is a useful screening tool for BCVI HIstorically, CTA was reserved for patients with high-risk mechanisms or neurologic symptoms CTA screening has expanded as understanding of BCVIs and their prevention progresses The Denver criteria were developed to identify patients with increased risk for BCVI High-risk findings include cervical spine injuries and severe facial or skull-base fractures Screening practices still vary between trauma centers, though expansion of proactive CTA is an increasingly common practice   References Kim DY, et al.

View This Week's Show NotesJuliet and I are officially empty nesters. Both girls are launched, the bathroom is clean every morning, and we're figuring out what the next phase looks like. It rhymes with dusk bike rides, protein shakes for dinner, and a cereal bar in Marin we somehow didn't know existed until now.We also revisited one of our longest-running household debates: women's pain tolerance. An Instagram infographic claiming childbirth equals breaking 20 bones made the rounds and reignited everything. We cover what the McGill pain scale actually says, why medical research has failed women on pain, and the full story of my eardrum, which ends with blood in the ER and a pain scale I have never quite recovered from.From there we got into our book Outplay and the data shaping every youth sports conversation right now. The number everyone cites is that 70% of kids drop out of sport by age 13. A researcher on LinkedIn tried to find the primary source and came up empty. So did researchers at the Aspen Institute. So did everyone else. We unpack what the CDC data actually shows and why citation drift doesn't mean youth sports is fine.The biggest chunk of this episode is something I wanted to make sure we gave real time to: what two years of running the Starrett System has actually taught us. Most people coming into the program weren't working a coherent physical practice at all. They might have been doing some weight training or riding a Peloton, but nobody was hitting all three legs of the longevity triangle: strength, conditioning, and mobility. Nobody was sprinting. And a lot of people believed that the moment they felt discomfort, they should stop.Watching that shift has been one of the most rewarding things we've done. Member Lily gained 5.4 pounds of lean mass in eight months. Cole said he's craving training every day for the first time. The fall cohort starts September 8th. Early bird: $200 off at starrettsystem.com.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy the "70% of kids drop out of sports by age 13" statistic cited by the American Academy of Pediatrics and major sports governing bodies may have no verifiable primary source, and what the CDC and Aspen Institute data actually showsWhy the claim that childbirth equals breaking 20 bones is a myth, and what the McGill pain scale says is actually more painfulWhy medical research has historically underserved women on pain, and how self-reporting skews the pictureWhat two years of running the Starrett System revealed about what most people were actually missing in their physical practiceWhy having a strength practice, a conditioning practice, and mobility work are three separate things, and why most people were only doing one of themWhat the "longevity triangle" is and why most wellness and longevity conferences have almost no conversation about itHow teaching people to train around injuries and physical limitations, rather than stop, has been one of the biggest shifts for Starrett System membersWhy the program's nutrition approach centers on abundance and eliminating nothing, and what happens when people who have been chronically underfueling start eating enoughKey Highlights(00:00) Welcome to RECESS / Kelly and Juliet go officially empty nest(00:31) The bathroom story and Byron Katie's towel wisdom via Gabby Reese(03:19) Life as empty nesters: bike rides at dusk, protein shakes, cereal for dessert(04:43) Listener ask: send your best recipes for two(05:18) Women vs. men pain tolerance: the debate renewed(06:44) Kelly's eardrum story(08:57) McGill pain scale and Juliet's finger(11:11) Outplay: preparing families for youth sports(13:32) Pay-to-play, private equity, and the Norwegian youth sports model(16:26) The 70% dropout stat and its missing primary source(19:12) Starrett System: origin story from the YPO conference(26:48) Starrett System: member results and the September 8th fall cohort(30:41) Cereal bar in Marin and the great Raisin Bran debate(34:07) Wrap and early bird CTA

Seven listener questions, one theme: the small stuff you never check is usually the expensive stuff. Fees, insurance add-ons, account order, and the plan you need before retiring decades early. 

What happens when the motivation that got you started is no longer there? Starting is often the easy part. The goal is new. The energy is high. You're motivated to take action. But what happens when the novelty wears off, progress feels slower than expected and you're left with the work? In this episode, I'm joined by former professional basketball player, author and Work On Your Game founder Dre Baldwin to explore what he calls "The Third Day" — the point where motivation disappears and consistency has to come from somewhere else. What begins as a conversation about discipline quickly develops into something much bigger: how structure shapes confidence, how our identity influences our behaviour, what failure can teach us, and why performing consistently may have less to do with raising your ceiling than raising your floor. In this episode, you'll discover:

Andrew breaks the entire plan down to four calculations you can run in about five minutes using numbers you already know: your monthly income and your monthly expenses. Each one gives you a specific target for your freedom number, your investing rate, your emergency fund, and your spending ceiling. 

Most people save for vacations one trip at a time and start over from zero every year. There is a version where you build the fund once and it keeps paying for your trips forever, and $100 a month is enough to start. 

What if the reason your business still feels inconsistent isn't because you need a better offer, a new niche, another lead magnet, or a completely different marketing strategy?What if you actually need to stop rebuilding everything?In this episode of Infinite Success Secrets, I'm sitting down with brilliant business-coach Melissa Hausmann. This conversation is extra special because I've had a front-row seat to her transformation.When Melissa and I first met, she was working 60–80 hour weeks in a demanding corporate career, raising her kids, AND trying to build a business on the side.At one point, the stress became so intense that her three-year-old son walked into her office and found her sitting on the floor crying through a stress-induced panic attack.She knew something had to change.Fast-forward to today: Melissa has left corporate, built a thriving coaching business, created consistent recurring revenue and developed a simple sales engine that brings her leads and sales every single month.And here's the part I really want you to hear:She didn't create consistency by doing MORE.She created it by finally doing less—and getting really freaking good at it.One premium offer.One clear message.One repeatable pathway to sales.Inside this episode, Melissa breaks down exactly what that looks like, including the LinkedIn DM system she uses to consistently start conversations, the webinar she runs every single month, and the surprisingly simple changes that helped her go from hearing crickets at the end of webinars to watching people grab their phones and race to book calls.We also get into why constantly changing your messaging could actually be slowing your growth, why the “boring” parts of your sales process are often the ones making you money, and how to use AI and automation without trying to automate an actual human relationship.You'll hear:Why Melissa stopped rebuilding her business every month and started refining what already workedThe “Power of One” strategy: one premium offer, one message and one pathwayHow she uses approximately 100 LinkedIn connection requests each week to consistently generate conversationsThe DM strategy helping one formerly DM-resistant client book three sales calls in three weeksWhy Melissa stopped directly selling her program at the end of webinarsThe simple CTA change that dramatically changed the energy—and results—of her webinarsWhy she runs the same webinar every month instead of constantly creating something newHow she uses ChatGPT and automation while keeping the actual sales conversation humanWhat Melissa would focus on first if you want to reach your next $10K–$20K monthAnd what changed when she finally walked away from the “safe” corporate path and bet on herselfThis episode is tactical, yes.But it's also about something much bigger.Because building a successful business isn't just about replacing your salary or hitting some arbitrary revenue milestone.It's about building a business that gives you your life back.As Melissa says near the end of our conversation:“The money is great… but it's also just this peace that I'm living in.”And THAT is the kind of success we're here for.Listen to the full episode now.Connect with Melissa: Find Melissa Hausmann on LinkedIn HERE.And if you're ready to learn the sales system she uses to help coaches move from inconsistent $2K–$5K months toward consistent $20K months, check out her 2K to 20K Masterclass linked below.

Coast FIRE is the middle path: invest hard early, hit a specific number, then let compound interest carry the rest while your paycheck only has to cover your bills. Andrew walks through what it is, how to calculate it, and what it unlocks once you get there.

One of the most popular chapters in my book What Do You Want? is called The Curse of Too Many Options. We've been sold this lie that more options equal freedom, but it actually creates friction in decision making. We know this scientifically. In marketing and sales, they preach one offer, one CTA, one next step. Why? Because the more someone has to "think" about it, the worse it converts. Well that applies in our personal and professional lives and has a big impact on how we move forward.Love This?

Niels Kaastrup-Larsen is joined by Andrew Beer and Tom Wrobel to examine a remarkable period for systematic investing. They discuss how CTAs have navigated volatile moves across equities, commodities, currencies and rates while preserving strong gains, and why diversification has been central to that resilience. The conversation explores leverage, the renewed interest in managed accounts and portable alpha, alongside the growing distinction between trend and non-trend strategies. They also challenge the traditional framing of CTAs as crisis alpha, debate whether greater complexity actually improves returns, and examine the difficulties investors face when selecting managers and benchmarking an industry where yesterday's winners may not remain tomorrow's leaders.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Andrew on Twitter.Follow Tom on LinkedIn.Episode TimeStamps: 00:00 - Introduction and eclipse mania02:57 - Volatility, valuations and a changing market environment06:22 - Trend Barometer falls as opportunities narrow08:21 - How CTAs have navigated 202610:10 - An extraordinary year for systematic investing14:07 - Yen intervention and CTA resilience17:11 - Trend versus non-trend performance22:20 - August performance and the systematic landscape24:48 - Active commodity strategies versus traditional CTAs29:39 - Situational Awareness and the risks of leverage32:14 - Managed accounts, capital efficiency and risk control37:49 - Are systematic strategies becoming over-engineered?42:45 - The growing divide between trend and non-trend CTAs50:34 - Reframing trend following as all-weather alpha55:07 - Why the crisis alpha narrative can be misleading01:04:06 - The hidden challenges of CTA benchmarks01:12:12 - Manager selection and diversification across CTAs01:14:15 - Does non-trend really improve a CTA portfolio?Copyright © 2025 – CMC AG – All Rights Reserved----PLUS: Whenever you're ready... here are 3 ways I can help you in your investment Journey:1. eBooks that cover key topics that you need to know about In my eBooks, I put together some key discoveries and things I have learnt during the more than 3 decades I have worked in the Trend Following industry, which I hope you will find useful.

5 Steps to Faster, Cheaper Leads with Facebook Ads (Plus a Priority Lesson for Marketers) Patrick Allmond shares a Wednesday livestream with a personal lesson on priorities and calendar management, arguing that if you don't set your own priorities, you'll end up working on someone else's. He explains a repeating digital marketing cycle where new platforms grow on organic reach, then shift to ads and paid features, and says effective lead gen should feel organic even when it's paid. He offers a PDF, "The Playmaker's Guide to Faster and Cheaper Leads," outlining five steps: use a CRM as a system of record, record and caption five short vertical hook/explain/CTA videos, launch a simple Meta ad campaign, set up automated multi-channel follow-up (not SMS alone), and focus on booking calls to increase closes. He closes by encouraging viewers to embrace fear as a constant and take action.  00:00 Welcome and Subscribe 00:50 Using AI for Content  02:31 Priorities and Calendars 05:03 Digital Marketing Cycle 07:24 Lead Gen Steps Overview 08:17 Step One CRM Setup 09:13 Step Two Video Hooks  13:42 Step Three Launch Meta Ads 17:16 Step Four Automated Follow Up 22:16 Step Five Book Calls  25:09 Fear and Final Wrap

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga. El Toro Sailing. My US Navy pediatric nurse off-duty days were spent sailing a tiny boat in the shipping channel off the Port of Norfolk. Believe it or not I sailed an 8x4 foot single-masted, centerboard El Toro that flew across the water. An old skipper powered a battered motor boat across the waves, curling around my boat with a great rooster tail spraying, and hurled a white styrofoam block wrapped with an old rope. It landed right in my lap. The block had been hollowed out to fit 2 cold cans of beer. That was a good day! Bad days. But when the days weren't so good, when I had more downs than ups, kids got worse, some died, moms needed comforting and support when dads were away at sea, self-doubts about working pediatrics crowded my thoughts, or a well-deserved leave was cancelled, I had to learn to “hold fast.” Hold Fast at Sea. For centuries sailing was a dangerous profession, and ships were often caught in storms or rough seas. “Hold fast!” commanded sailors to secure equipment, and ropes or lines to prevent accidents or maintain safety and stability on ships especially during turbulent weather conditions. Sailors would shout “hold fast!” to each other when they needed to grab onto something firmly so that they wouldn't get thrown off balance by the towering waves. Sailors learned quickly that “hold fast” means to maintain a firm grip on something despite external forces trying to pull it away. It could come down to saving a life or “man overboard” at a time when few boys and men knew how to swim. Hold Fast Today. Over time, “hold fast” came to mean strength, perseverance and determination in facing adversity when challenges threatened to unmoor your own stability. While the old nautical term and the present day variation have distinct meanings, they share a common thread: steadfastness. Whether you're holding onto a rope during rough seas or standing up for what you believe in, “hold fast” requires unwavering commitment and resilience. The Future Will Prevail. The unprecedented conditions we find ourselves in today demand a grounded personal presence of internal strength and determination, maintaining one's grip on values, kindness, empathy, and holding on to hope. The worn out, deteriorated, broken-down, and decaying patriarchy is railing against the future. The future will prevail. We must hold fast so that it arrives. Hold fast with all the resilience you can muster even when you feel you cannot hold fast a moment longer. That is the place the tide will turn.   CTA: What if we hold fast and we get things right?

Building a thriving food blog by putting YouTube first, growing to 2 million subscribers on YouTube, and using social media to drive blog traffic with Jeanelle Castro from Jeanelleats. ----- Welcome to episode 583 of The Food Blogger Pro Podcast! This week on the podcast, Bjork interviews Jeanelle Castro from JeanellEats. Why Jeanelle Castro Thinks YouTube Is the Most Powerful Social Platform for Food Creators Jeanelle started Jeanelleats ten years ago while still working a 9-to–5 — but she knew she had always wanted to be an entrepreneur, and she always loved making videos. In 2016 she started posting on YouTube, got serious about tracking her metrics and posting consistently, and within a few months her channel started taking off. Today she has nearly 2 million subscribers on YouTube! In this episode, Jeanelle shares how she built a content system where YouTube is the engine that drives everything else — including her blog traffic, her Google rankings, and her brand deals. She explains how she uses YouTube Shorts to drive traffic to her site (her CTA is simple: "head to Jeanelleats for the recipe!"), and why she believes that the success of a social post and the performance of a blog post are more correlated than most creators realize. Three episode takeaways: Promoting YouTube videos of your recipes can improve your Google ranking — Jeanelle has noticed a real correlation between pushing a YouTube video of a recipe and that recipe's performance in Google search. Since YouTube is owned by Google, there's a connection between video engagement and search visibility that food bloggers with a YouTube presence can take advantage of. Combined with the branded search that grows when your social content performs well, this is another reason to prioritize video even if SEO has felt out of reach. What a YouTube first posting strategy looks like — Jeanelle publishes to YouTube first, then reposts to Instagram and TikTok. She explains her posting cadence, why YouTube is her #1 platform from both an audience and revenue perspective, and how she thinks about Instagram differently — it's less important for direct revenue, but it still matters for brand partnerships. Why Jeanelle is leaning into her blog and how it fits into her overall revenue — While brand deals remain her number one income source, her blog revenue has recently surpassed her YouTube AdSense revenue. The blog has become her priority precisely because it's the most stable and predictable of the three — and she's noticed a direct link between promoting YouTube videos of her recipes and improved Google rankings for those same posts (a win win)!

CTA intern David Streitmatter brings another inspriring message in his summer series to encourage our mindsets!

The Day We Invented a MonsterThe New Monsters – Episode One For thousands of years, humanity has created monsters. But we rarely know who created them. Vampires emerged from centuries of whispered folklore. Werewolves wandered through medieval Europe long before anyone thought to record the first storyteller's name. Ghosts belonged to abandoned houses, forgotten battlefields, and generations of frightened imaginations. Then, in June of 2009, something unprecedented happened. An ordinary graphic designer entered an online Photoshop contest and unknowingly created the first monster whose birth was documented almost frame by frame. His name was Eric Knudsen. The creature he imagined became known as Slender Man. This week on The Devil Within, Branden Morgan begins a three-part investigation into the first great myth of the internet age, exploring how a pair of manipulated photographs evolved into one of the most influential pieces of modern folklore ever created. More importantly... Why were millions of people so eager to believe? This isn't simply the story of Slender Man. It's the story of how the internet became humanity's newest campfire—and how mythology no longer requires centuries to evolve. In This Episode The horrifying 2014 Waukesha stabbing that introduced Slender Man to the world Why every civilization creates monsters The technological and cultural conditions that made Slender Man inevitable The rise of social media, YouTube, Reddit, and collaborative storytelling The Something Awful Photoshop Contest of June 2009 Eric Knudsen (Victor Surge) and the creation of Slender Man Why the monster's faceless design unsettles the human brain The psychology of the "uncanny" How thousands of strangers transformed one image into modern folklore Themes Explored Digital folklore Internet mythology Collective storytelling The psychology of fear Urban legends Horror history Media culture The evolution of folklore Modern monsters Slender Man Creepypasta Featured Topics The 2014 Waukesha case (introductory context) Eric Knudsen (Victor Surge) Something Awful Forums Photoshop Contest (June 8, 2009) The Uncanny Valley Collaborative internet culture Early social media The birth of Creepypasta Digital mythology The story doesn't end with two manipulated photographs. It begins there. Coming Next Week In Episode Two, When Fiction Escaped the Screen, Slender Man no longer belongs to his creator. YouTube filmmakers, artists, gamers, writers, and millions of strangers begin adding new chapters until something extraordinary happens. For the first time in history... we watch folklore evolve in real time. The Devil Within is written and hosted by Branden Morgan. Produced by Evio Creative.

The New Monsters: Montauk - Part Three The Monster We Needed The Montauk Monster was never just about a strange carcass lying on a Long Island beach. It was about trust. Why did millions of otherwise rational people immediately believe that a decomposing animal might be the product of secret government experiments? Why did Camp Hero, Plum Island, and decades of Cold War secrecy become inseparable from a single photograph? In the conclusion to our three-part Montauk investigation, Branden Morgan explores the uncomfortable answer: perhaps the creature itself never mattered. What mattered was the world that created it. From MKUltra and government secrecy to the internet's ability to accelerate folklore at unprecedented speed, this episode examines how modern myths emerge—not because people abandon reason, but because uncertainty demands a story. The Montauk Monster wasn't simply another cryptid. It may have been one of the first monsters truly born in the digital age. In This Episode: Why conspiracy theories flourish when public trust erodes The documented legacy of MKUltra and why it changed public perception How real government secrecy gave rise to modern folklore Why Camp Hero and Plum Island became fertile ground for speculation The psychology behind modern conspiracy thinking Why myths evolve faster than facts in the internet era The Montauk Monster as one of the first internet-born cryptids What the legend ultimately reveals about modern America—not biology The Devil Within Theme The greatest monsters are rarely the ones hiding in the shadows. They're the stories we create when certainty disappears. Featured This Week When people stop trusting the institutions that once explained the world, they don't stop believing altogether. They simply begin searching for new explanations. Sometimes those explanations become science. Sometimes history. And sometimes... they become monsters. Camp Hero and its Cold War history Plum Island and the facts behind decades of speculation MKUltra and the unintended birth of modern conspiracy culture How folklore migrated from campfires to message boards Why the internet has become humanity's newest myth-making machine Next Time on The New Monsters The investigation moves from abandoned military installations into an entirely different wilderness: The internet. In 2009, a simple Photoshop contest gave birth to a faceless figure known as Slender Man. He wasn't discovered in ancient folklore or whispered about for generations. He was deliberately created online. Then something extraordinary happened. People began claiming they had seen him. The story spread across forums, videos, games, and social media before culminating in one of the most disturbing crimes of the digital age. We'll examine how fiction escaped the screen, why the human mind embraced the impossible, and whether the internet has become the birthplace of an entirely new kind of mythology.

The New Monsters: Montauk — Episode Two Long before the Montauk Monster washed ashore, there was another mystery already waiting at the eastern edge of Long Island. Its name was Camp Hero. Towering radar antennas once scanned the Atlantic from windswept bluffs overlooking the ocean, searching for Soviet bombers during the darkest years of the Cold War. Nearby, the federal laboratories of Plum Island quietly conducted research behind locked gates, fueling decades of speculation about what might be happening just beyond public view. History tells one story. Folklore tells another. In Episode Two of The New Monsters, Branden Morgan separates documented history from enduring myth, exploring how an abandoned military installation became one of America's greatest conspiracy legends—and why secrecy itself may be the most powerful monster of all. From Cold War air-defense systems and classified government programs to the infamous Montauk Project and the surprising origins of Stranger Things, this episode reveals how history, psychology, and imagination combined to create one of the most influential modern myths in America. Because before anyone believed in the Montauk Monster... they first had to believe in Montauk. The documented history of Camp Hero America's Cold War radar defense network Why abandoned military installations inspire folklore The real history of Plum Island and its animal disease laboratory The origins of the Montauk Project conspiracy How government secrecy fuels modern mythology Why Stranger Things was originally conceived as Montauk The psychology of conspiracy theories and belief How fiction and reality continue feeding one another Every generation creates the monsters it deserves. Ancient civilizations imagined dragons beyond the edge of the map. Medieval Europe feared witches. Modern America fears secret laboratories, classified research, and technologies hidden behind locked gates. The monsters evolve—but the fears beneath them remain remarkably familiar.

In this Q&A, Andrew answers eight real listener questions, plus an AI privacy leak that could already have your data sitting in Google search results.

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga. Why are stories spoken aloud? Why do we lean into the music of the spoken word? And why do we need to hear a woman's voice speaking her truth from her heart, her identity? Written text is processed intellectually by the brain but the spoken word resonates deeply. When we hear a woman's voice take a breath, pause, and speak from the heart, we feel it emotionally. The pauses, the unhurried rhythm, and the warmth of delivery invite listeners to feel like they are right in the moment of the story sitting side-by-side. For just a moment let's sit together. I've been reflecting on how we transform our lived personal experiences, the memories, the moments into story magic that captivates the listener with its universal meaning. Hint: It's the archeological dig. The archeological dig uncovering the treasure trove of our lived experiences is where we challenge ourselves to discover and make sense of what our story is really all about. Not just the quick, cheap, easy, and superficial answers but what flows like a river under the frozen ice. You and I know we aren't just talking about words on a page here. We're talking about how we hold our own lives. Most of the time we're taught to just report the facts. "Here's what I did today. Here's who I took care of. Here's my role." It's polite... it keeps the peace...it's empty and boring. We women of “middle earth age” can no longer deny the quiet, restless ache that shows up in the middle season of our lives. It's the emotional weight of a deeper question: Who am I... when no one is asking me to be anyone for them? When you finally stop and attend to that ache... that's where your real story begins. That is the moment of self-discovery and, more importantly, identity. You realize you aren't just a collection of jobs and titles; you are your own unique engagement with this world. And what about the thing you've actually come here to say? The wisdom you've earned? It doesn't need to be shouted out loud. It just needs to be true. It's the moment of self-definition... where you stop asking for permission to occupy your own life. It's looking at yourself in the mirror and realizing... my perspective matters. My voice does not need to be softened to be acceptable. When you lean into that... you aren't just letting life happen to you anymore. You are claiming your narrative. You are saying what you mean... and maybe for the very first time. That's what depth of inquiry means. It's having the courage to sit in the quiet... until the surface noise fades... and the truth of who you really are finally rises up. CTA: Today, don't just live the plot of your life. Lean into the rich, unfolding, joyful, wisdom of it. Say what you mean, mean what you say and let yourself be known - to yourself.

The Montauk Monster: The Beast on the Beach The New Monsters — Episode One In July 2008, a grotesque carcass washed ashore on a beach in Montauk, New York. Within hours, photographs of the strange creature had spread across the internet, igniting one of the first truly viral cryptid mysteries of the digital age. Was it a mutated experiment from nearby Plum Island? An escaped government bioweapon? Or simply a decomposing raccoon whose appearance had been distorted by nature and decomposition? In this premiere episode of The New Monsters, Branden Morgan explores far more than the identity of one dead animal. He investigates the birthplace of modern mythology itself—and asks why, in an era of smartphones and instant information, we continue creating monsters faster than ever before. From the abandoned radar towers of Camp Hero to decades of Cold War secrecy, from the government's heavily restricted Plum Island research facility to the cultural legacy that inspired Stranger Things, this episode examines how secrecy, abandoned places, and public distrust combine to create legends that feel almost impossible to resist. Because sometimes the monster isn't what washed ashore. Sometimes it's the story we needed to tell. In This EpisodeThe Devil Within Why the eastern tip of Long Island has attracted conspiracy theories for decades The forgotten military history of Camp Hero Plum Island and the research that fueled decades of speculation Why abandoned government facilities become breeding grounds for folklore How Stranger Things originally began as Montauk The psychology behind conspiracy theories The viral photograph that created one of America's newest monsters Why uncertainty is often more powerful than evidence Theme Distrust creates monsters. When institutions become secretive, information becomes scarce, and facts become difficult to verify, stories rush in to fill the void. The Montauk Monster isn't simply about a mysterious carcass—it represents the moment modern folklore went viral.

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with the final Motivate Your Monday episode and your host, Diane Wyzga. As you know, the ending of every story holds the beginning of a new one. I'm retiring 60 Seconds and Motivate Your Monday episodes. Instead of ending these changes are evolving to Begin Anew. I launched my podcast, Stories From Women Who Walk in April 2020 as a platform for conversations with women who were walking their lives until their lives were flipped upside down by something unexpected, how they met the challenges, and changed to becoming stronger, even more confident women. I loved every single moment of listening stories out of my guests! COVID flipped our lives upside down, too. We were no longer commuting to work over long distances or in cars. Who would have the time to listen to a 30 or 40-minute conversation? What to do? Pivot to 60 Seconds. No one was offering this format. Turned out that I was really good at distilling topics, ideas and stories into soundbytes to inform, illuminate, delight, and comfort my listeners. At the same time I created a Listener Location Shout-out to kick off each episode to acknowledge and thank you for listening. How did I know where you were listening? The Simplecast platform provides a global map with yellow dots that light up the villages, towns and cities where your feet touch the ground all around the world. Each shout-out included a URL linked to the location so that other listeners could “armchair travel” to that place. Imagine how much I learned about my global audience. Some 1,330 episodes and close to 250,000 plays later it's time to do something different. But what? Running like a river beneath the surface of the lived experience moments of our lives is a deeper, truer one waiting to be acknowledged. How do I acknowledge that deeper truth? What will I hear when I let my Life speak? Where will it lead me next so that I can make the transitions I seek while inviting you to come along with me on the journey? I promise you this: the voice you have come to know and trust for over 6 plus years on the airwaves, along with the stories, insights, questions and prompts that speak to each of us as if to say, “What! You, too? I thought I was the only one.” [C.S.Lewis] I'd like to focus my creative efforts on producing “Diane on Mic” short-form episodes—maybe 7 minutes or so of spoken word—for Wednesdays on Whidbey and Story Prompt Friday. CTA: Let's continue making the very most of the time we have together, uncovering, discovering, shaping and sharing our stories. Let me know what you think.

The Devil Within The Monsters We Still Create Episode Three: The Things That Really Live Beneath the Water The Frogman of High Falls has led us on an unexpected journey. We began with a modern cryptid hiding in the mist beneath Rochester's famous waterfall. We explored the city's remarkable rise as an industrial powerhouse, examined how abandoned places inspire folklore, and discovered how the human mind—and now the internet—can transform uncertainty into legend. Now we arrive at the conclusion. In the final chapter of The Monsters We Still Create, Branden Morgan leaves mythology behind and follows the evidence back to the Genesee River itself. From the environmental awakening that reshaped America after rivers like the Cuyahoga caught fire, to the remarkable recovery of western New York's waterways, we explore the quiet reality that ecosystems remember everything we do to them. The true story isn't one of radioactive monsters or government experiments. It's the far more profound story of how nature absorbs our choices, adapts to them, and, when given the chance, begins to heal. But perhaps the Frogman was never really about amphibians at all. Perhaps he exists because every civilization creates monsters that reflect its deepest fears. Medieval Europe imagined demons lurking beyond the village. Frontier America feared endless�wilderness. Industrial America, having transformed rivers, forests, and landscapes beyond recognition, began imagining something waiting beneath the water—a creature born not from ancient curses, but from the uneasy relationship between progress and consequence. The Frogman may never have walked the banks of the Genesee River. But the questions he asks us are very real. Join us as we conclude this three-part series and discover why the greatest monsters have never been the ones hiding in the darkness—they're the ones that inspire us to finally look beneath the surface.

How do you decide between a dedicated aortic scaffold and kissing stents in complex aortoiliac bifurcations?

The Devil Within The Monsters We Still Create Episode Two: Watching a Legend Being Born In Episode Two of The Monsters We Still Create, we leave the history books behind and venture into something even more mysterious—the human mind. Why do intelligent, honest people become convinced they've witnessed something extraordinary? Why do some places seem to invite legends while others never do? This week, we explore the fascinating psychology behind eyewitness accounts, revealing how memory, expectation, and the unique atmosphere surrounding Rochester's High Falls can transform an ordinary moment into an unforgettable encounter. Standing beside the mist-filled Genesee River, where abandoned mills and restored factories share the same landscape, we discover why modern industrial ruins have become the perfect birthplace for twenty-first century monsters. Then we examine what may be the greatest storytelling invention in human history: the internet. Around ancient campfires, legends took generations to evolve. Today, a blurry photograph, a strange sound, or a single social media post can reach millions of people in a matter of hours. Is the Frogman of High Falls simply another cryptid—or are we witnessing the birth of folklore in real time? Sometimes monsters aren't discovered. Sometimes they're created. And sometimes, the most fascinating mystery isn't whether a creature exists, but why so many people want it to. Join us as we continue our search for The Frogman of High Falls—and discover why every generation creates the monsters it needs.

The Devil Within The Monsters We Still Create Episode One: A Monster for the Machine Age Every monster has an origin story. Some are born in the ancient forests of Europe. Others emerge from forgotten mountain ranges or disappear into the depths of dark lakes. But the Frogman of High Falls is different. He doesn't seem to come from medieval folklore or Indigenous legend. He appears suddenly, in the shadow of abandoned factories, crumbling mills, and one of America's great industrial rivers. In the first chapter of The Monsters We Still Create, Branden Morgan travels to Rochester, New York, where the Genesee River has carved its way through limestone for thousands of years. Long before Kodak, Xerox, and the Flour City transformed the landscape, High Falls stood as one of nature's enduring monuments. But as industry flourished, the river became both the engine of prosperity and the silent witness to everything civilization left behind. How does a city built on innovation become the birthplace of a brand-new monster? This episode explores the remarkable history of Rochester, the rise of American industry, the environmental scars left behind, and the fascinating realization that the Frogman of High Falls has almost no historical footprint before the modern era. Perhaps that's because this isn't an ancient legend at all. Perhaps it's a monster that could only have been born in the twentieth century. Join us as we begin a three-part exploration into one of America's newest cryptids—and ask whether monsters are discovered... or created.

Niels Kaastrup-Larsen and Nick Baltas explore how artificial intelligence, thematic investing and narrative momentum are beginning to reshape systematic investing. Alongside a review of recent CTA performance, they discuss new research on expanding trend following universes, defensive portfolio construction and portable alpha before taking a deep dive into the growing role of AI and thematic risk models. The conversation examines whether future investment signals may come from more than price alone and how systematic investors can combine traditional trend following with new sources of information without losing the discipline that has defined the strategy for decades.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Nick on Twitter.Episode TimeStamps:00:00 - AI, memories and the changing pace of innovation06:32 - How investment firms are integrating artificial intelligence13:01 - CTA performance and the trend following environment20:34 - Expanding the market universe for trend followers28:17 - Building the perfect hedge with trend following34:25 - Portable alpha and leveraging trend strategies37:44 - Introducing thematic investing and missing factors44:59 - How narratives create momentum in financial markets50:43 - Measuring thematic strength versus price momentum58:41 - Can thematic investing be backtested?01:04:14 - Are narratives really different from traditional sectors?01:07:06 - Final thoughts on AI, research and the future of systematic investingCopyright © 2025 – CMC AG – All Rights Reserved----PLUS: Whenever you're ready... here are 3 ways I can help you in your investment Journey:1. eBooks that cover key topics that you need to know about In my eBooks, I put together some key discoveries and things I have learnt during the more than 3 decades I have worked in the Trend Following industry, which I hope you will find useful.

The Devil Within Campfire Files: The House That Hadn't Been Emptied (Episode Three — The Last Night) Every vacation ends. Most end with photographs, souvenirs, and promises to return. This one ended before sunrise. In the breathtaking conclusion to Campfire Files, Nina and Paul spend one final night inside Birch House as a dense Atlantic fog and coastal storm isolate the cottage from the rest of the world. Outside, Penobscot Bay disappears beneath wind and rain. Inside, the house quietly resumes the routine it has practiced for generations. The locked room opens once more. The missing suitcase returns. And this time... it isn't empty. Inside are the belongings Nina and Paul intended to pack the following morning—carefully folded, organized, and waiting exactly as though someone, or something, had anticipated their departure before they had. As dawn approaches, they flee Birch House, abandoning part of their vacation and leaving behind questions that no caretaker, homeowner, or investigator can answer. Months later, after returning to Arizona, they discover that perhaps they never left the Bennett Place behind at all. The House That Hadn't Been Emptied concludes with a quiet realization that lingers long after the final page: perhaps old houses don't haunt people... Perhaps they simply refuse to forget them. In This Episode • A coastal storm traps Nina and Paul at Birch House. • The mysterious return of the missing suitcase. • A suitcase packed with their own belongings before they packed them. • The hurried escape from the Bennett Place before dawn. • The owner's unsettling final phone call. • A discovery months later that suggests some departures are never truly complete. • The conclusion of this summer's Campfire Files.

The Devil Within Campfire Files: The House That Hadn't Been Emptied (Episode Two — What the House Kept) Some mysteries begin with a strange noise. Others begin with a single name. This week, Campfire Files returns to the rocky coast of Maine as Nina and Paul attempt to convince themselves that the footsteps they heard the night before were nothing more than an old house settling into the cool Atlantic air. Morning, however, has other plans. The locked room at the end of the hallway is standing open. Inside, they discover what appears to be an ordinary family storage room filled with decades of forgotten memories. But hidden among the coats and keepsakes is an old leather suitcase bearing a luggage tag that should not exist. It has Nina's full legal name. Her middle name. Her home address in Phoenix. And no one should know any of it. When the owner sends the property's longtime caretaker to Birch House, the mystery only deepens. Walter Pike has spent his entire life watching over the Bennett Place, and he speaks about the house less like a building and more like an elderly relative. Then he shares a story passed down from his father about the last woman who lived there—a widow who kept suitcases packed for people who never came home. Her explanation has haunted the town ever since. "Departures are easier when the house knows who's leaving." As Walter searches the storage room, the suitcase disappears before their eyes, leaving behind a question no one—not even the caretaker—can answer. What, exactly, has Birch House been waiting for?�In This Episode • The mysterious opening of the locked storage room. • A suitcase bearing Nina's full name and home address. • The arrival of caretaker Walter Pike. • The history of the Bennett family and Margaret Bennett's strange ritual. • The unexplained disappearance of the suitcase. • The chilling realization that Birch House may not simply remember its visitors... • It may be preparing for them.
