Alan interviews Dr. David Clark about a near-fatal heart attack he suffered almost two years ago. Dave describes the dramatic details of the event, from initially mistaking his symptoms for heartburn to his wife heroically rushing him to the emergency room. The episode delves into the importance of being your own health advocate, particularly for dentists and other seemingly healthy individuals who may be at risk without knowing it. Dave emphasizes that a heart attack is one of the few life-threatening events that can be largely preventable if people are armed with the right knowledge. He shares key tests and prevention strategies he learned from his brother, a metabolic cardiologist, and warns against common misconceptions and tests that offer a false sense of security. The conversation highlights the emotional and physical toll the event took on him and his family, ultimately leading him to a renewed perspective on life and his dental career. Key takeaways: Dr. Clark discussed several key prevention ideas and tests that he believes are crucial for all listeners to consider, especially those who appear healthy but may have underlying risks. Be Your Own Health Advocate: Don't blindly trust a single doctor's diagnosis, especially if your symptoms don't align with what they say. Dr. Clark's initial symptoms were dismissed as heartburn by his concierge cardiologist, a diagnosis that could have been fatal. The Troponin Blood Test: If you suspect you've had a cardiac event, no matter how minor, go to the emergency room and specifically ask for a blood test for troponin. Troponin is a protein released when heart muscle is damaged, and it can be detected in your bloodstream for up to 48 hours after an event. A positive result would have led to an immediate diagnosis and intervention for Dr. Clark, preventing the heart attack and damage. Get a CAC (Coronary Artery Calcium) Score: This is a key test for "the healthy guy heart attack." A high CAC score indicates a genetic predisposition to having calcified plaque in your arteries. While a stress test only provides short-term security, a high CAC score is a significant warning sign that a rupture in the plaque could lead to a sudden, fatal heart attack. Be Cautious of Misleading Tests: Dr. Clark and his brother identified several tests that can give a false sense of security or are simply not effective in predicting a heart attack, including the standard stress test and most whole-body scans. Consider a GLP-1 Medication: Based on his brother's recommendation, Dr. Clark started taking a GLP-1 medication (like Ozempic or Wegovy) to reduce inflammation, which is a known contributor to cardiovascular problems. He notes that these medications are not just for weight loss but have significant, positive metabolic effects.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for August 14th Publish Date: August 14th From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Thursday, August 14th and Happy birthday to Magic Johnson I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Gwinnett students outperform state on many milestones tests — but trail in science Buford's David Clark joins race to be Georgia’s next lieutenant governor Police contacted weeks earlier due to CDC shooter's 'thoughts of suicide,' GBI says Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on Food Apps All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: MONSTER JAM STORY 1: Gwinnett students outperform state on many milestones tests — but trail in science Gwinnett County Public Schools has some bragging rights—but also some glaring gaps. The latest Milestones and end-of-course test scores show the district outperforming the state in most areas, but science? That’s a different story. The eighth-grade science results are, frankly, shocking: just 0.3% of students scored proficient or higher. Compare that to 28% statewide. Yes, you heard that right—0.3%. GCPS says most of its eighth-graders take the tougher high school physical science test instead, but even there, only 44% hit proficiency, trailing the state’s 57%. There are bright spots, though. Fifth-grade science scores beat state averages, and high school biology students held their own. Math and social studies also showed solid results, with Gwinnett consistently outpacing state averages. English/language arts? Mixed bag. Less than half of students in every grade tested were proficient, with third-graders struggling the most—just 39% hit the mark. The district plans to dig into the data at the Aug. 21 school board meeting. STORY 2: Buford's David Clark joins race to be Georgia’s next lieutenant governor The race for Georgia’s next lieutenant governor just got more crowded. On Tuesday, Rep. David Clark, R-Buford, threw his hat in the ring, becoming the fifth state lawmaker to join the campaign. Clark’s announcement follows state Sen. Blake Tillery, R-Vidalia, who launched his campaign just a day earlier. Both Republicans are hitting familiar notes—tax cuts, immigration crackdowns, and opposition to transgender rights. They join Sens. John F. Kennedy and Steve Gooch, both running on MAGA-friendly platforms aimed squarely at Trump’s base. On the other side of the aisle, Sen. Josh McLaurin, D-Sandy Springs, is the lone Democrat in the race. A vocal Trump critic, McLaurin has made no secret of his disdain for the former president’s policies and legal defiance during this year’s legislative session. The lieutenant governor’s role? Presiding over the Senate and stepping in when the governor’s out. But this race? It’s shaping up to be anything but ordinary. STORY 3: Police contacted weeks earlier due to CDC shooter's 'thoughts of suicide,' GBI says The Georgia Bureau of Investigation shared new details Tuesday about Friday’s shooting outside the CDC’s Atlanta headquarters—a tragedy that left DeKalb County Officer David Rose dead and the suspect, Patrick Joseph White, 30, of Kennesaw, taking his own life. GBI Director Chris Hosey said White had no criminal history but had recently expressed suicidal thoughts, prompting a call to law enforcement weeks earlier. At White’s home, investigators found writings criticizing COVID-19 vaccines—angry, but not overtly threatening. White fired over 500 rounds, hitting six CDC buildings. His weapons, a mix of rifles and a shotgun, belonged to his father, who told investigators White broke into the gun safe. Officer Rose, one of the first responders, was fatally shot by White. “He died a hero,” said FBI Special Agent Paul Brown. “His sacrifice won’t be forgotten.” The investigation is ongoing, and anyone with information is urged to contact the GBI tip line.

We’ll be right back Break 2: Ingles Markets 6 STORY 4: PCOM Georgia holds White Coat ceremony On Aug. 8, nearly 200 students from PCOM Georgia’s Physician Assistant and Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine programs slipped into their crisp white coats for the first time—a moment that felt both surreal and monumental. The ceremony, held at the Gas South Convention Center, wasn’t just about the coats. It was about stepping into something bigger: the responsibility, the privilege, the weight of caring for others. Students recited their oath and class mission statement, pledging to lead with compassion and professionalism. For many, it wasn’t just a milestone—it was the start of a dream they’d been chasing for years. STORY 5: Trump throws support behind Jones’ bid for Georgia governor President Donald Trump has thrown his weight behind Lt. Gov. Burt Jones in Georgia’s governor’s race, giving his “complete and total” endorsement in a social media post Monday. Trump praised Jones as a loyal ally who worked “tirelessly” for his campaigns, calling him an early supporter of the MAGA movement. The endorsement could be a game-changer in the GOP primary, where Trump’s base still holds serious sway. Jones faces Attorney General Chris Carr, but he’s already got a fundraising edge—thanks to a 2021 law that lets him raise unlimited funds through a leadership committee. Carr, who doesn’t have that advantage, has taken the fight to federal court, accusing Jones of abusing the system. Meanwhile, the Democratic primary is heating up, with big names like Keisha Lance Bottoms, Jason Esteves, and Michael Thurmond already in the mix. We’ll be right back.

Send us a textI really didn't have to write much of an intro because I could simply copy the fascinating story in Dave Munson's bio. It resonates with me because it reminds me about how David Clark found so much more happiness, not by making and spending huge amounts of money from his mattress and furniture businesses, but by serving others. I also love how Dave Munson manufactures products that are unique and insanely durable, which has become so rare these days. The story begins in 1999, in a dusty leather shop in Morelia, Mexico, young American Dave Munson slid a hand-drawn sketch across the counter and said, “No breakable parts. I want my grandkids to fight over it when I'm dead.” What a great slogan! That moment sparked the beginning of Saddleback Leather Co. That bag turned heads everywhere it went, and before long, Dave was selling bags on eBay, eventually bringing in family members to help meet demand. With grit, grace, and a business coach, he evolved into the CEO of one of the most recognized leather brands in the world. Today, Saddleback Leather is known for crafting over-engineered full-grain leather goods with a 100-year warranty — built to outlive the owner and become heirlooms.Dave's wife, Suzette, is his true partner in both business and life. Together they raise their two kids and sponsor many more in Rwanda. Suzette also leads Love 41, a sister company to Saddleback that donates 100% of its profits to helping vulnerable communities in Rwanda, Mexico, and Fort Worth, Texas. They also operate the Saddleback Leather Factory, where all of their products are made, and you'll learn here why leather goods make so much more sense for the environment than those made from artificial fibers. Headquartered near Fort Worth — where the Munsons live in safari tents — the company is celebrating more than 20 years in business. For Dave, it was never about getting rich. It's always been about using business as a force for good — to shift the trajectory of poverty-stricken families and create a global ripple effect of hope, one bag at a time. As Dave puts it: “We make the longest lasting, most over-engineered leather bags in the world — and we love people while we do it.” I think it's a really cool mission statement.Dave MunsonSaddlebackleather.comFacebook Saddleback Leather Co.Instagram @saddlebackbagsYouTube @saddlebackleatherBill Stahlsilly_billy@msn.comFacebook Bill StahlInstagram and Threads @stahlor and @we_are_superman_podcastYouTube We Are Superman PodcastSubscribe to the We Are Superman Newsletter!https://mailchi.mp/dab62cfc01f8/newsletter-signupSubscribe to our Substack for my archive of articles of coaching tips developed from my more than three decades of experience, wild and funny stories from my long coaching career, the wit and wisdom of David, and highlights of some of the best WASP episodes from the past that I feel are worthwhile giving another listen.Search either We Are Superman Podcast or @billstahl8

After a period of significant change at Magellan, Nikki's return to the firm marks a powerful reconnection with its founding principles—absolute returns, deep research, and a commitment to global quality. With over two decades of experience and foundational roles at both Magellan and Alphinity, Nikki unpacks her high-conviction investment philosophy and explains why the core Magellan approach — compounding capital through structural moats and disciplined valuation — remains unchanged despite market noise. In a candid and wide-ranging conversation, David and Nikki explore: * How she builds a concentrated portfolio of 10–20 global leaders * The role of AI, robotics, and digitalisation in shaping long-term investment themes * The outlook for key holdings including Novo Nordisk, Visa, and Microsoft * How Magellan is evolving from a founder-led boutique to an institutional investment house * Her return to the firm and the strategic pivot under new leadership This episode offers rare insight into one of Australia's top investment minds at a pivotal moment for Magellan and global capital markets. A must-listen for high-net-worth investors seeking clarity, conviction, and access to the type of global opportunities that sit beyond Australia's borders.

Lasry unpacks the explosive growth of private equity in the global sports industry—where financial returns meet passionate fandom. From his journey as a Moroccan-born immigrant to building a $25 billion investment firm, Lasry offers a firsthand look at why sports franchises are no longer just vanity assets for billionaires, but a scalable, investable asset class ripe with opportunity. He shares how Avenue Capital approaches sports as a structured, revenue-generating investment with tangible upside through ticketing, sponsorship, and media rights.

The team of five students, mentored by GGC professors, gained hands-on experience in robotics, engineering, and project management. Inspired by *Dora the Explorer*, the lead rover, DORA, works with two smaller rovers, Boots 1 and 2. The project not only showcased their skills but also opened doors for internships and potential careers with NASA.

While the new hires will improve operations, Corps officials warn reopening parks will take time due to hiring and training processes. State Rep. David Clark has proposed legislation for Georgia to take over Lake Lanier parks to ensure consistent access. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

In this episode of Inside the Rope, host David Clark sits down with Tim Samway, founder of Scarcity Partners and former managing director of Hyperion Asset Management, to explore one of the most compelling trends in asset management—GP staking (General Partner staking). What if, instead of being on the paying end of fund management fees, you could invest in the fund managers themselves? That's exactly what GP staking enables—and it's gaining serious momentum in Australia.

In this episode of Inside the Rope, host David Clark sits down with Craig Packer, Co-President of Blue Owl Capital – a $140 billion powerhouse in private lending. From humble beginnings to one of the fastest-growing alternative asset managers globally, Craig shares the inside story behind Blue Owl's explosive rise, its strategy of targeting multi-billion-dollar private equity-backed companies, and how the firm is redefining the landscape of direct lending.

In this episode of Inside the Rope, David Clark speaks with David Gribble, the newly appointed CEO of Alceon, one of Australia's leading multi-strategy private capital firms. Against a backdrop of heightened market volatility and growing media scrutiny of private credit, David Gribble shares his perspective on the evolving role of private markets and how Alceon is positioning itself through this cycle. The conversation explores Gribble's unique journey from engineering and investment banking to leading Alceon, and why the firm's deep bench of local expertise, asset-backed focus, and collaborative investment approach offers clients confidence during periods of uncertainty. We also dive into how Alceon balances opportunity and risk across real estate credit, private equity, and structured credit—and why disclosure and proactive transparency are central to maintaining investor trust in the private markets space. As regulation looms and headlines focus on risks, this episode offers measured insight into the difference that experience, structure, and true alignment can make.

David Clark welcomes back Andrew Lockhart, Managing Partner of Metrics Credit Partners — one of Australia's largest private lenders and a major force shaping the future of private credit. With private credit markets booming — and critics warning of bubbles and risks — David and Andrew explore why private credit can play a critical role in a high-net-worth portfolio when approached with discipline and scale. They dive deep into the key metrics that investors should evaluate in private credit, including loss rates, diversification, liquidity management, and risk-adjusted returns. Andrew explains why Metrics' institutional-grade processes, governance standards, and proactive credit management position it at the centre of Australia's private credit growth story — and why careful manager selection has never been more important. With insights into Metrics' $23 billion portfolio, how private credit compares to traditional bank lending, and how Metrics navigates the evolving regulatory landscape, this episode is essential listening for investors seeking income, stability, and diversification in today's uncertain markets. Get a behind-the-scenes look at why Metrics is thriving amid industry scrutiny.

When you frame a case around negligence, you'll likely get a modest verdict or none at all. But when you reframe it as a story of betrayal, the jury's desire for retribution can dramatically increase your award—a strategy that helped Daniel Rodriguez secure a $35 million Iowa verdict, the state's largest motor vehicle crash verdict in history. In conversation with host Dan Ambrose, Daniel shares his approach to long-form opening statements using chapter-based storytelling, his techniques for building rapport with witnesses, and his powerful case-framing methods learned from David Clark. Countering conventional wisdom that openings should be brief, Daniel reveals why his openings run 75 to 120 minutes and how this structure transforms outcomes.

In this episode of Inside the Rope, David Clark is joined by Laurence Marshbaum OAM, founder of 10x10 Philanthropy and Community Capital, to explore how wealthy families can embed philanthropy into their legacy.

Laurence shares his journey from institutional fund management to purpose-driven investing, shedding light on how families can move beyond ad-hoc charitable donations to structured, impactful philanthropy that endures for generations. They discuss how fund managers and sophisticated investors are also stepping in to provide early-stage capital to high-impact, for-purpose organisations—bringing the same rigour they apply to financial markets to the social sector. Whether you're a family considering philanthropy for the first time, or looking to start the conversation, this episode will give you practical insights into how to create lasting social and financial value.

Hwæt a Movie returns with Beowulf: Prince of the Geats! Given how hard this one is to find, we'd be surprised if any of you have seen it. Released in March 2007, shortly after SYFY's Grendel and ahead of Robert Zemeckis's Beowulf, this Scott Wegener-directed indie film dives into the epic tale with a unique take on the hero and his legendary battles. And while the film's limited budget and production constraints might be apparent, its dedication to the original text shines through. Making the film more charming and admirable is the fact that the production team and actors all worked for free on this passion project. All proceeds from the sale of the DVDs for Beowulf: Prince of the Geats went to aid both the American and Norwegian Cancer Societies. Get a sense of the film by watching the trailer here. The film stars both Jayshan Jackson and Damon Lynch III as the younger and older Beowulf. Wegener's decision to depict Beowulf as the son of an adventuring African fisherman offers some interesting possibilities and an approach to the character that we haven't seen yet. It's also one of the few film adaptations to follow Beowulf home to Geatland after his time in Denmark. As always, our episode includes an exhaustive summary of the film, a Q&A discussion, and our final ratings. How do these versions of Beowulf, Grendel, and Grendel's Mother stack up against those we've seen before? And how does this quirky, low-budget film score on its fidelity to the source material and its overall entertainment value? As the length of the episode might suggest, we've got a lot to say about this one. This was a delightful film to unpack, and we hope you enjoy hearing about it as much as we enjoyed discussing it. If you're interested in reading more about Wegener's decision to cast black actors to play Beowulf and the responses it prompted, check out the following articles and discussions: Clark, David.
