America maintains a promise to its citizens. A promise to never leave them behind and stop at nothing to return them to American soil. Over 200 Americans are wrongfully detained or taken hostage each year across the globe. The Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs is responsible for bringing them home. Ambassador Roger Carstens served as the SPEHA from 2020-2025. A West Point Graduate, Green Beret, Army Ranger, and seasoned security leader, Roger and his team brought home close to 70 Americans during his tenure; including high profile cases such as WNBA star Brittney Griner and Wall Street Journal Reporter Evan Gerskovich. Roger joined Fran Racioppi from the McCain Institute in Washington, DC for a conversation on the role of the SPEHA, why countries take Americans for leverage, and just how America negotiates with terrorists. We explore the effects of wrongful detention and hostage taking on America's national power, how families are turned completely upside down, and why only a Warrior Diplomat has the character required to make deals with America's adversaries.Roger and Fran also share the mission of Hostage US; a non-profit instrumental in supporting hostages and wrongful detainees - and their families - through captivity, return and reintegration. Watch, listen or read our conversation. Special thanks to the McCain Institute for hosting us and sharing their mission to defend and enhance human rights across the globe.

A wrongful detainee is someone held by a nation state.” “Every case is different. There is no cookie cutter approach.”“It doesn't matter if it's a nation state or terrorist group, if they take you, you're held hostage.”“You can never hand a bag of money to a terrorist group and say ‘we want our citizen back.'”“The United States does not negotiate with terrorists and yet I have.”“No one comes back when you call for their unconditional release.”“If we did not negotiate with Russia, they would just take Americans and you would see them stay 14, 15, 16 years there or they'd die in prison.”“We have to create new tools to be used to compel these countries to not take our citizens.”“If you want to stop evil. If you want to crush the next Adolf Hitler. Dial 1-800-USARMY.”“Every Green Beret will leave the service one day.”“If there's not that higher mission where you're allowed to serve and you don't have that camaraderie, you're going to have a hard time.”“If you have a mission you have to approach your next few steps differently than those who just want to be a thing or to have a job.” “The hardest negotiation I ever did was with the US Government.” The Jedburgh Podcast is brought to you by University of Health & Performance, providing our Veterans world class education and training as fitness and nutrition entrepreneurs.

Episode 586: Pickup and Delivery Games Episode release date is July 9, 2025   Show Notes   This week we kick off our discussion of pickup and deliver games. So, we are going to line up a bunch of games and choose some to discuss. Intro of Meeple Nation The World's Most Okayest Podcast Web Page Become a Chanameeple Links to Episodes SaltPOD: A SaltCON Podcast Bios Email us at MeepleNation@gmail.com Patreon Instagram @meeplenation Facebook Meeple Nation Facebook Group Meeple Nation Off Air X Meeple Nation Discord Meeple Nation   Sponsorship Game Toppers  SaltCON   Meeple Nation Gaming Highlights (Highlight-Thirty) Nathan Sequoia Sequoia is a quick, light dice-rolling and area majority game where players compete to grow the tallest trees in 11 different "forests." Objective: Have the tallest tree (most tree tokens) in as many forests as possible to score victory points. Over 10 turns, all players simultaneously roll five dice. They then secretly form two pairs from four of those dice (leaving one die unused). The sum of each pair determines which "forest" (numbered 2-12) they can place a tree token in. Strategy: You have to decide whether to focus on a few forests to dominate them, or spread your efforts to secure second-place consolation prizes. After 10 turns, the player with the most trees in a forest gets the first-place points, and the second-place player gets a smaller consolation prize. Ties are resolved with special tie-breaker rounds. Quick and Portable: Sequoia is known for its fast gameplay (around 10-15 minutes) and small box size, making it easy to bring to game nights. Switchback Switchback is a quick and engaging tile-laying board game where players are trying to create the longest continuous paths of numbers (representing hiking trails up a mountain). Score the most points by having your "hikers" on tiles that form continuous numerical sequences of four or more tiles. Players take turns placing a tile from their hand onto the board. After placing a tile, they either place one of their hikers on that tile, or "buddy up" two of their hikers for a future double move. You'll constantly be making choices like: Where to place your tile to extend your own paths or block opponents. When to place a hiker versus buddying them up for a better placement later. Whether to join an opponent's path to share points or create your own. At the end of the game (when all tiles are placed), only hikers on paths of four or more consecutive numbers score points. Simple rules but tough decisions, all with a quick playtime (10-20 minutes).   Douglas Tiny Epic Cthulhu   This week we are kicking off our discussion of pickup and delivery games. The "Pick-up and Delivery" (P&D) mechanic in board games is a core gameplay loop where players acquire specific items or units from one location on the game board and then transport them to another designated location to complete an objective or earn points. It's a fundamental concept that simulates logistics, trade, and transportation challenges within a game's theme. Here's a breakdown of its characteristics and how it's used: Core Characteristics of Pick-up and Delivery: Goods/Passengers/Resources: There's always something to be picked up. Pick-up Locations (Sources): Designated spots on the board where the goods originate. These can be: Fixed locations: Factories, farms, cities, ports. Player-controlled locations: A player's own production buildings. Dynamically generated: Cards drawn that specify a pick-up point. Delivery Locations (Destinations): Designated spots where the goods need to be dropped off.  Movement/Transportation: Players use their game pieces (vehicles, ships, trains, pawns representing workers) to move from the pick-up location to the delivery location. This often involves: Movement costs: Spending actions, money, or specific movement points. Route planning: Deciding the most efficient or strategic path. Obstacles/Competition: Other players, terrain, or events that impede movement or make certain routes less desirable. Capacity Limits: Players usually have a limited capacity for how many items they can carry at once, forcing strategic decisions about what to pick up and when. Reward/Completion: Successfully delivering an item typically grants: Victory points: The most common form of reward. Money or resources: To fund further actions. Unlocking new abilities: Access to new routes or upgrades. Advancing on a track: Progressing towards an endgame condition. The P&D mechanic is incredibly versatile and appears in many genres: Logistics and Trade Games: Theme: Often about managing a transportation network or economy. Economic Games: Theme: Focus on resource management, production, and supply chains. Adventure and Quest Games: Theme: Characters embarking on journeys, completing tasks, or rescuing individuals. Worker Placement Games (often integrated): Theme: Players assigning workers to perform actions. Overall, the Pick-up and Delivery mechanic adds a layer of logistical challenge and strategic depth to board games, forcing players to think about movement, resource management, and timing to achieve their objectives.   Pickup and Delivery Games Dead Men Tell No Tales Space Dealer Century: Golem Edition - Eastern Mountains Escape Zombie City Forbidden Desert Maglev Metro The Witcher: Old World Pirates Cove Waste Knights: Second Edition Evacuation Pandemic Legacy Season 2

Deciding between individual and group experiences will depend on personal needs, an honest assessment of your expectations and content, and comfort level in groups. Cultural influence may shape preferences for individual or group psychedelic experiences, but ultimately, hybrid models are emerging to offer diverse healing opportunities and the profound power of being witnessed.This week we take a deep dive into the nuanced dynamics of individual versus group psychedelic experiences, examining cultural, psychological, and practical considerations. We will discuss substances like ayahuasca, yagé, and psilocybin mushrooms ,exploring the cultural impact of their use in group contexts such as communal ceremonies or private treatments like a dieta. There is no one-size-fits-all approach, and we will consider factors like accessibility, personal comfort, and societal influences when individuals are choosing their healing path. You'll find how flexible, hybrid models that incorporate both individual and communal elements, might just be the future of psychedelic healing. Additionally, we will address a question asked by one of our community members about substance interactions, specifically the timing between MDMA and psilocybin, offering guidance grounded in safety and individual readiness. No mushroom source?

Financial Coaches Network - The Podcast: Build your Financial Coaching Business

Today, join Josh and Garrett as they discuss what Paid Search Advertising is and when it's relevant to financial coaches! 3 (+2!) key takeaways: The benefit of paid search is that IF (big if) you do it right, it gets you in front of people who are actively looking for a solution to a problem that you solve through your coaching. Paid search gives you keyword targeting abilities AND audience targeting capabilities. Three things that impact where your ad is placed: price (how much are you paying), competition (how many others and how much are they paying), “quality score” (does this ad actually answer the person's question that they were searching for? Is there value on the page? How trustworthy is the website?) Use key phrases, NOT key words. The fewer people who see your ad, the better, because that means you've targeted it exactly to those people who are actually potential prospects, not those who will never be prospects.

I'm Kay Daigle of Beyond Ordinary Women Ministries. Welcome to the third in a series of our videos on conflict with Dr. Sue Edwards from Dallas Seminary. You can read her bio online. We began by discussing Be Prepared for Conflict. And in our last video, we talked about just the Tendencies of Women—not for all women, but many women tend to deal with conflict in a certain way. And in this video, we're going to talk about Peacemaking Practices for Sisters. And I'm excited about really getting into how to take care of conflict. I'd also like to let you know that we did a series with Oletha Barnett that really gave the foundational principles that Sue's going to kind of take some of those apart in a practical way for us no—to how to make peace and what the Bible says about conflict. And so that really is important for you to have those principles you may need to go back. That would be the third video in that series called Fight Right with Oletha Barnett, which you can find on our website. And also on our Vimeo page. So, Sue, as you think about this, what are the peacemaking practices for sisters? Sue >> Well, of course, as Oletha said, Matthew 18:15-17 gives us some really three different steps and that helps us know that we want to master that. Although it's easy to make things formulaic when you're in real situations. It's not quite that easy. But still the principles in these steps that Jesus taught us are wonderful. Kay >> Well, let me ask you, before you even get into those, how do you decide that you need to go to one of those practices? How do you know when you have to sort of attack the problem rather than let it settle? Sue >> Well, I know when there's a possible relational disconnect. That to me, relationships are so important for the unity of the body—that we women work together, that we love each other, we support each other. So if there is a possibility, if I see that woman at the grocery store and I go the other aisle or I'm still having imaginary conversations with her three or four days later, then I know that this needs to be dealt with. Or if I even get a sense that she's hurt or she's avoiding me. And what we want to do is come together, but in a sense of a learning conversation. In other words, I want to sit down with you because you are important to me. I love you as a sister in Christ, and I don't want anything to interfere with our relationship. And so if there's anything that might, so there's ways to do it that are not so scary. So, a lot of times we hate this. We think it's going to get mean and confrontational. It doesn't have to. And if that person is a healthy person, then you come at it with that kind of tone of voice and hard attitude because you think there's some issue, whether they did it, whether you did it, whatever. I would go and try to work that through. And if they're healthy,

This journey was born from an inner calling I couldn't ignore—one that led me to confront feelings of guilt, conditioning, and the weight of societal expectations placed on women. As I walked among ancient ruins and connected with the energy of the land, I found myself shedding old layers and stepping into a deeper sense of self. I speak candidly about what it means to follow your intuition, even when it doesn't make sense to others, and how this trip became a catalyst for rediscovering my voice and power.Through the lens of my upbringing and life experiences, I explore the profound transformation that occurs when we expose ourselves to new cultures and ways of being. Greece reminded me that womanhood is not confined to roles or rules—it's a living, breathing force that evolves as we do. In sharing this journey, my hope is to inspire you to listen to the whispers of your soul, to challenge the patterns that no longer serve you, and to step into the most authentic version of yourself. This episode is a heartfelt invitation to all women who are ready to rise, remember, and reclaim their truth.IN THIS EPISODE:(0:00) Welcome to the Greece series(1:24) A wild heart's journey(1:40) Childhood dreams and travel aspirations(3:41) Overcoming financial barriers(8:11) First experiences in Greece(14:27) The call to return to Greece(16:21) Embracing new patterns and beliefs(23:17) The importance of self-care and rest(26:33) Deciding to take the leap

Financial Coaches Network - The Podcast: Build your Financial Coaching Business

We began a new series about analyzing the gurus! We'll be spending time discussing several big personal finance names, their recommendations, and why we do or do not agree with those. Josh and Emily discuss Ramit Sethi, his philosophy of a “rich life,” his “conscious spending plan,” and his take on investing. Top takeaways: Broad-based percentage-based structures just don't work for everyone. The emphasis on a rich life and guilt-free spending can lead to people to focus on necessities and fun money at the expense of savings. Automation can be great as long as you reevaluate and adjust things over time. Houses are great hedges against inflation in retirement. Ramit's rant against AUM and financial advisers just doesn't make sense. Related episodes: Episode #130: The 411 on HSAs Want help building or growing a successful financial coaching business?

In this episode, I'm diving into a potent truth: manifestation doesn't begin with desire—it begins with decision. I'll share what the word decide actually means (spoiler: it's more powerful than you think), how indecision leaks your energy, and why making a soul-aligned decision is often the turning point to clarity, momentum, and manifestation. We'll explore the energetic shift that happens when you stop waiting and fully claim what you want, plus how to align your identity, actions, and intuition with the version of you who already has it. This is about walking through the door and closing it behind you—fully choosing your next level. This episode is here to activate something deep within you… It's time to choose.
