Eating nuts and peanuts associated with reduced overall, cardiovascular death Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, March 2, 2022 Eating nuts and peanuts was associated with a reduced risk of overall death and death from cardiovascular disease across different ethnic groups and among individuals with low socioeconomic status, which suggests that peanuts, because of their affordability, may be a cost-effective measure to improve cardiovascular health, according to an article published by JAMA Internal Medicine. The authors analyzed three large study groups involving 71,764 low-income black and white men and women living in the southeastern United States and 134,265 Chinese men and women living in Shanghai, China. Men in both the U.S. and Chinese study participant groups consumed more peanuts than women. In the U.S. group, about 50 percent of the nut/peanut consumption was peanuts and in the participant groups from China only peanut consumption was assessed. (NEXT) People with diabetes who eat less processed food at night may live longer Study finds eating carbs earlier in the day is linked to better heart health Harbin Medical University (China), March 15, 2022 The time of day that people with diabetes eat certain foods may be just as important to their well-being as portion size and calories, according to a new study published in the Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism. Mealtimes should be in line with the biological clock—a natural, internal process that regulates the sleep–wake cycle and repeats every 24 hours. Health outcomes for people with diabetes may be improved if certain foods are eaten at different times of the day. (NEXT) Researchers find out why yogurt lowers the risk of developing diabetes Université of Laval (Quebec), March 15, 2022 Scientists have known for some years that eating yogurt is associated with a reduced risk of diabetes, but the reasons behind this protective effect were unclear. A study published today in Nature Communications reveals that this protection could come partly from the gut microbiota as well as from specific metabolites produced by the lactic bacteria in yogurt. “These metabolites, called branched chain hydroxy acids (BCHA), result from the action of yogurt lactic bacteria on naturally occurring amino acids in milk. “ The researchers made this discovery when observing the effects of yogurt on mice fed a diet rich in sugars and fats. One of the groups was given the equivalent of two daily servings of yogurt. After the 12-week experiment, the researchers found better control of blood sugar, insulin resistance, and liver function in the yogurt fed group. They then analyzed all the metabolites present in their livers and observed changes in BCHA. (NEXT) Low blood folate may be linked to heightened dementia and death risks in older people Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, March 15, 2022 Low levels of folate (vitamin B9) in the blood may be linked to a heightened risk of dementia and death from any cause in older people, suggests research published online in the journal Evidence Based Mental Health. Levels should be routinely monitored and deficiencies corrected in older age, especially given that blood levels of folate tend to tail off with age, with up to 1 in 5 older adults estimated to be folate deficient, say the researchers. The evidence to date suggests that folate deficiency affects cognition and nerve signaling in the brain, making it a possible risk factor for subsequent dementia. (OTHER NEWS) Darktrace and Cybereason: The Intelligence Front Companies Seeking to Subjugate the World with the A.I. Singularity Meet two power cybersecurity companies riddled with American, British, and Israeli intelligence agents who plan on using AI technology to target foreign populations as well as their own. BY JOHNNY VEDMORE UNLIMITED HANGOUT NOVEMBER 3, 2020 We have all been dreaming, a dream where you can float or glide across your dreamscape effortlessly. This leads to the feeling of trepidation, as though you have the ability to let go, and if you do let go, you'll either soar or fall. We're now at a point in history where either the coming events will be studied for thousands of years, or it will be remembered as the point where we lost our humanity completely. Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) technology has entered a new phase over the past several years, where instead of the A.I. algorithms learning from humans, they are now teaching themselves, changing their own algorithms as they learn. We are on the cusp of letting go of control entirely, so early on, because of a few small companies who have quietly been given free reign under the guise of “protecting” our digital lives, all within a tech sector that is moving so fast that we can no longer see what's just around the bend. The entire free thinking population of Earth would love a little more time to discuss such epochal change. However, the technocrats and scientists, supported by venture capitalists, are already putting into action the future before the masses have a chance to even consider discussing its consequences. With very little legislation governing A.I. technologies on the books, our governments are eager to get every tech pioneer inventing whilst there is no accountability for any resulting harm. We're not talking major societal disruption, we're talking about a potential extinction level event of our own creation. Where we should be taking cautious baby steps, instead we're expecting to fly just by letting go. We are about to experience a monumental change in technology, starting with “next-generation” cybersecurity that will then move quickly into the unknown. Unsupervised A.I., now running on critical networks throughout the world as a “cybersecurity” product, is evolving its own algorithm without the need for humans to be involved. Meanwhile, the wealthy patrons funding this cutting edge future tech are out in force, working to propel our societies into this new, unexplored and dystopian technological frontier. But who are the companies that these eager wealthy venture capitalists are funding to create an autonomous, A.I.-powered cyber defence system like never before? Are they even companies at all when we consider their deep and direct ties to intelligence agencies? Should these firms instead be reclassified as simply extensions of state intelligence apparatus acting without the restrictions of public accountability? Each of these companies have been built by teams of former intelligence operatives, some of who have sat in the highest echelons of the intelligence apparati of their respective countries. MI5 and C.I.A. both carry considerable weight in these sinister sounding enterprises, but it is Israel's Unit 8200 that are the main group capitalising on this advance into the world-altering realm of unsupervised Artificial Intelligence algorithms. Yet, these very companies appear to be selling a defence against a potential apocalypse that they themselves may be responsible for. They have the solutions to everyone's cyber-woes, or at least that's the image they wish to portray. Let me introduce you to the most dangerous intelligence operations masquerading as cybersecurity companies on planet Earth. Darktrace – The Unsupervised Machine Learning A.I. Cybersecurity Solution The members of Darktrace are open about their aims. They talk about publicly held dataas though they already have the rights to sell it to anyone around the world. Data is the fuel of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and Darktrace has made almost $2 billion in the data business during its relatively short history, reaching Unicorn status with great ease. When Darktrace first launched its website in 2013, its description of the company's vision was entitled, “The New Normal: Learn Human and Machine Behavior to Reduce Cyber Security Risks.” Back then we were less familiar with the term “the new normal,” but now it surrounds us. Darktrace is already active within the NHS, the U.K. power grid, and many other major parts of Britain's critical infrastructure and they are rapidly expanding around the globe. Dave Palmer was an MI5 anti-terror agent working on the 2012 London Olympics when he and some of his colleagues first bashed out the initial idea for what would become Darktrace. They wanted to create an A.I. cybersecurity system that was based on the human immune system, a system that differed from the traditional, reactive antivirus software approach. This system would look for abnormalities in a computer network's processes to target a wider range of more sophisticated cyber issues. In a TechCrunch talk in 2016, the freshly installed co-CEO of Darktrace, Poppy Gustafsson, is caught misleading the audience about the company's origins. She uses the TechCrunch stage to claim that the “spark” for the creation of Darktrace originally came from the mathematicians at Cambridge and downplayed the involvement of intelligence agencies like MI5, GCHQ, and the C.I.A. The TechCrunch moderator, Natasha Lomas, displayed some fine journalistic integrity on this occasion and asked for clarification. “So did the maths research come first and then you got together with the spies. Which way round was it?” asked the intrepid Lomas. Gustafsson squirms a little before saying, “it was exactly that. First the machine learning that was talking about how to critique a computer to help it understand itself. And then it was the, um, experts from the government intelligence agencies who thought ‘ooh, this could be applied to the problem of cybersecurity.'” But that statement was an outright lie and Gustafsson isn't the most skilled deceiver. Gustafsson, who was initially CFO and COO for the fledgling Darktrace, runs the company alongside the other co-CEO Nicole Eagen, an alumnus of Oracle, a major tech company that also has its origins in intelligence. Both parts of Darktrace's female power duo were brought over from Invoke Capital by Darktrace's initial angel investor and advisory boardmember, UK billionaire Dr. Mike Lynch OBE. Describing himself as the “UKs answer to Bill Gates“, Dr. Mike Lynch is lauded as one of the most influential investors in the tech sector. His previous successful endeavours had been with Autonomy, a tech firm that has Lynch caught up in a legal wrangle with HP over the fraudulent inflation of its valuation, and Blinkx, a video search company where Lynch was later forced to step down from the board. Yet, Darktrace is not just one man working alone. The company boasts that over 4000 organisations worldwide now rely on Darktrace's A.I. technologies. With headquarters in San Francisco, US, and Cambridge, UK, Darktrace has over 1300 employees spread across 44 countries and their numbers are rising. And although the connections to the state intelligence agencies are clear and obvious, Darktrace is officially a completely private enterprise with big investors including KKR, Summit Partners, Vitruvian Partners, Samsung Ventures, TenEleven Ventures, Hoxton Ventures, Talis Capital, Invoke Capital and Insight Venture Partners. Sitting alongside the controversial Dr. Mike Lynch OBE on the advisory board for Darktrace are some seriously influential people deeply connected to US and UK intelligence agencies. If you were to walk into the advisory boardroom at Darktrace, you could be forgiven for thinking that you were actually attending a U.K. Home Office meeting from the past. The former Home Secretary under Prime Minister Theresa May, Amber Rudd, became part of Darktrace after her time in government ended in 2019. She is also on the advisory team of Teneo, a consulting firm co-founded and led by Doug Band, the former advisor to Bill Clinton and close friend of the infamous Jeffrey Epstein. As always, when investigating the murky world of intelligence, many connections to Epstein and his partner Ghislaine Maxwell are revealed. With that being said, yet another member of Darktrace's advisory board also has Epstein/Maxwell links. The C.I.A. stalwart, Alan Wade, is one of the most interesting members of the Darktrace advisory team. He was announced as joining their growing advisory board on 10 May 2016 and had been the former Chief Information Officer of the Central Intelligence Agency. His thirty- five year career at the top echelons of the C.I.A. ended in 2006 and afterwards he would dedicate his time to assisting companies with C.I.A. links from the private sector. While he had been at one of the top posts in the entire U.S. intelligence community, Wade co-founded Chiliad alongside Ghislaine Maxwell's sister, Christine Maxwell. As Unlimited Hangout reported earlier this year, Christine Maxwell was personally involved in leading the opeartions of the front company used by Robert Maxwell to market the PROMIS software, which had a backdoor for Israeli intelligence, to both the U.S.' public and private sectors. Given this history, it is certainly telling that Wade would choose to co-found a major software company with Christine Maxwell of all people. Cybereason – From Offensive, State-Sponsored Hackers to A.I. Cybersecurity As we have experienced at other memorable moments in history, coincidental simulations prior or during any intelligence agency led manipulated event are commonplace. On this occasion, a company named Cybereason is here to provide us with a short glimpse of our pending fearful futures. In multiple simulations Cybereason has run over the last few years, they have been gaming out how potential cyberattacks could cause unthinkable disaster for the U.S. 2020 election. Cybereason's CEO and co-founder is an enigmatic former Israeli Intelligence agent Lior Div-Cohen, often simply referred to as Lior Div. Div, an IDF Medal of Honor recipient and former Israeli Unit 8200 member, co-founded Cybereason in 2012 alongside Yossi Naar and Yonatan Striem-Amit, who are also fellow veterans of Israel's military cybersecurity corps. A scholar from the Academic College of Tel-Aviv, Lior Div afterwards worked as a software engineer for Xacct a network service provider followed by the notorious firm Amdocs, which was accused of eavesdropping on American government officials on behalf of Israel. In between Amdocs and Cybereason, Lior Div was the CEO and co-founder of Israeli cybersecurity firm AlfaTech which is described in its national media as“a cybersecurity services company for Israeli government agencies.” Some of the simulations that Cybereason have hosted over the past two years lead us to election day. In a video entitled: 2018 -10 Hacking the Vote from a scenario and simulation which was actually entitled Blackout; Protect the Vote, the simulation examines which parts of an election day processes were vulnerable to hackers. They make clear from the start it won't be all about voting machines themselves. Operation Blackout Nolandia, the fictional city which was ground zero during Operation Blackout, was based on an average American city nestled within a crucial swing state on election day. Here in Nolandia, three teams of cyber-fighters would battle with each other over control of the city. These would be the three teams each with succinct roles in the polling day pretence, as told to us by Cybereason's Ross Rustici and Sam Curry: Red Team AKA Broken Eagle Task Force: The basic aim of the Broken Eagle's Task Force was to disrupt the election processes in real time. The Red's approach evolved throughout the simulation from causing as much harm as they could into making the result of the election as in doubt and politically biased as possible. They attempted to control the narrative that the system was broken and that the elections could not be trusted. Blue Team AKA Nolandia Event Task Force: The Blue's were fundamentally reactive during the simulation and were constantly on the backfoot. The Blue's, responding to a reported gas leak at a Nolandia polling station early in the scenario, contacted the Secretary of State's office to ask whether they needed to close the polling station. Luckily, the real State Department had two advisors sitting in on the simulation who were able to offer alternative contingency plans that existed in real world America. By the end of the simulation, the Blue's were all aware that they had largely failed the exercise. White Team AKA White Control Team: This team acted as support to give advice or permission to either team, in a role very much like the Dungeon Master in a D&D game. The White's main task was to balance the realism of the scenario and create problems for either team that they'd experience in the real world. In November 2019, Cybereason re-ran their election day attack simulation at an event in Washington D.C. and have run multiple simulations over the last year. The last imagined American city was called Adversaria. As the election day creeps ever closer, Cybereason have been releasing it's more well produced promo videos online. If you're paying very close attention then you will have noticed that Cybereason have spent all of October 2020 marketing heavily as their big day approaches. Representatives of Cybereason are being quoted in every mainstream scare story out there. Vice News released an article on 7 October entitled: “Hospitals Have Become ‘Prime Targets' for Crippling Ransomware Attacks,” where they quote Israel Barak, Cybereason's Chief Information Security Officer, the article states that Barak is “a cyber warfare expert at Cybereason, spent nine years in the Israel Defence Forces specialising in cyber defence systems.” And when Computer Weekly's Adam Scroxton, on 20 October, was reporting on the conviction of the six supposed Russian hackers in the famous NotPetya attack, Cybereason rolled out their CSO, Sam Curry, to give a statement. In a Wired article on 22 October titled: 12 Cyber Threats That Could Wreak Havoc on the Election, Wired explains: “The security firm Cybereason last year ran a series of tabletop exercises specifically looking at how real-world attacks might impact Election Day. One exercise focused on a hacktivist group—known in the exercise as “Kill Organized Systems (K-OS),” pun intended—that disrupted traffic lights and brought the election to a standstill by paralyzing the city's transportation system.” The media appearances for Cybereason have never come so thick and fast as they have this past October. One could even assume that these appearances are a media campaign leading up towards a big event.

In A Mass Conspiracy to Feed People: Food Not Bombs and the World-Class Waste of Global Cities (Duke UP, 2021), David Boarder Giles explores the ways in which capitalism simultaneously manufactures waste and scarcity. Illustrating how communities of marginalized people and discarded things gather and cultivate political possibilities, Giles documents the work of Food Not Bombs (FNB), a global movement of grassroots soup kitchens that recover wasted grocery surpluses and redistribute them to those in need. He explores FNB's urban contexts: the global cities in which late-capitalist economies and unsustainable consumption precipitate excess, inequality, food waste, and hunger. Beginning in urban dumpsters, Giles traces the logic by which perfectly edible commodities are nonetheless thrown out—an act that manufactures food scarcity—to the social order of “world-class” cities, the pathways of discarded food as it circulates through the FNB kitchen, and the anticapitalist political movements the kitchen represents. Describing the mutual entanglement of global capitalism and anticapitalist transgression, Giles captures those emergent forms of generosity, solidarity, and resistance that spring from the global city's marginalized residents. David Boarder Giles is a Lecturer in Anthropology at the School of Humanities and Social Sciences at Deakin university, Australia. His writes about waste, cities, and social movements. He is also one of the producers of Conversations in Anthropology.

ARCHIVE (circa 2003, Episodes 40-41) Jesse talks with Samuel Norris, a Christian black man who was once a drug addict who went to prison for robbery. Raised by both parents, he feels they treated him like the black sheep of the family, different from his sisters. He felt his father set a bad example, but Samuel hid his drug dealing, thieving street life from his suspicious parents. Describing the thrill of crime, he said he'd pretend to help a person while stealing from him. When caught sometimes, people threatened him with a pistol put in his mouth — three times! Samuel Norris answers questions about being a man, finding God, and overcoming addiction. Racism, he says, is not holding black people back, and people like Al Sharpton are lying. Lastly, he talks about the role of church and fellowship.

WHEN YOU CALL SOMEONE A NARCISSIST YOU'RE NOT DIAGNOSING THEM, YOU'RE DESCRIBING THEM Welcome my channel! If this is your first time seeing my face or hearing my voice, my name is Lee and I am a self aware #narcissist. I have narcissistic personality disorder ( #NPD ) and I've been in therapy for my personality disorder since 2017 and it has definitely changed my life because without it, I would have lost everything. The point of these videos is to help bring awareness from the other side of the narcissistic *buse spectrum. All my videos give perspective on why many narcissists do what they do and the possible different reasons behind them. The victims and survivors get validation and the #Narcissists (those that are willing) get to see that you can get help and that you are not alone. 1 on 1's and all my links - https://beacons.page/mentalhealness You can find me on - Tiktok MentalHealness - https://www.tiktok.com/@mentalhealness?lang=en Insta- Mentalhealnesss - https://www.instagram.com/mentalhealnesss/?hl=en Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/MentalHealness85 Click the BEACON up top for direct links.

Mark interviews author Jacob Hess about character development, world-building and The Hero's Journey. Prior to the main content, Mark shares a personal update, a cautionary tale about making POD titles returnable, and a word about this episode's sponsor. You can learn more about how you can get your work distributed to retailers and library systems around the world at starkreflections.ca/Findaway. In their conversation, Mark and Jacob talk about: Jacob's initial interest in world-building and character development through imaginative play as a child How his love for stories eventually merged with a later love of reading that he developed Describing his fictional world as a mix between Star Wars and Lord of the Rings The passion Jacob has for the Hero's Journey and how that came from his discovery of Shawn Coyne's The Story Grid Having Lord of the Rings read to him as a child, and then enjoying re-reading it as an adult A quote from Tolkien with a unique perspective on story that inspired Jacob The importance of the transformation process and Jacob's desire to want the reader to face the same change that the character in the story faces How, after writing the foolscap page for a novel, Jacob likes to discover a lot of the story by just starting to write it The way that his world-building comes out of his story and the characters having to interact with the world around them The elements of "essential action" and how that works within each scene of a story Thinking of storytelling like chipping away at a slab of marble or clay until it looks the way you've envisioned The short story readers can get for free by signing up on Jacob's website How Jacob manages his time for writing with working a full time job And more... After the interview Mark reflects on the importance of each scene's "essential action" in a story and how he is thinking about it in different ways to help him become a better writer.

God has continued to display His faithfulness to Jacob throughout his life; a journey deeper and deeper into grace. Jacob received a Master of Divinity from Western Seminary in Portland, Oregon and moved to Seattle, Washington with his wife where he works as a minister in the local church. Jacob's years in school grew his passion for writing and reading, but he has always had a love for stories, whether they're told with pen and page or the rhythms and rhymes of song. He agrees with J. R. R. Tolkien when he writes, “the Pot of Soup, the Cauldron of Story, has always been boiling, and to it have continually been added new bits, dainty and undainty," (On-Fairy-Stories, p. 45). As humans we simply cannot seem to escape a need to tell stories, a desire to reach beyond ourselves and connect to the deeper truths of who we are and what it means to live a life of meaning.

In this episode, we have invited Wyle McGraw. He is a Performance Accelerator and the Founder of Radical Performance Acceleration. For over a decade, Wyle works behind the scenes doing life-altering work with powerful CEOs, executives, entrepreneurs, and public figures across industries—accelerating their performance personally and professionally. Today, Wylie will share how you can take your personal and professional life to the next level. [2:31] Why should we listen to you You should listen to me because I got a fantastic story. My purpose and passion for my work are to transform the paradigm of high performance and leadership development. And through my crazy life experiences, I've discovered this uncanny ability to erupt and eradicate stresses and unleash the untapped potential of high achievers. So my work is specifically for those leaders that need that elite environment to stretch their capacity and optimize themselves both personally and professionally. I've curated my business and skill for the last 13 years. Giving real-world challenges to leaders who are willing to do whatever it takes to blow past their limits and reach optimal levels of success. [6:11] What is the common theme you observe people battle? The common theme I've noticed is people are designed to find the path of least resistance. We are designed to find ways to create comfort for ourselves. People tend to overlook life's experiences that have caused the biggest negative impacts in their life. They tend to avoid them, overlook, or ignore them. And they feel that there's a way for them to reach high levels of success while still carrying around all of that unresolved darkness that still resides within them. [7:17] People, especially high achieving leaders, build their empires with chaos and stress as foundation. And they have done everything they can to accomplish as much as they want, but they're still left unfulfilled and looking for more. [7:44] How do you navigate past the egos? There's a difference between helping and optimizing. Optimization requires something completely different than the traditional helping systems and fields that are out there. Though, there's nothing wrong with them because they create a movement for people. But if you want to optimize yourself, you have to be willing to create new dramatic experiences with someone who knows how to get into the trenches with you, challenge you, and push you beyond those limits. [9:09] What are the roadblocks most people wouldn't know that they could climb over faster? Mindset first and willingness to put yourself in those radical unconventional challenges that stretch you stretch your capacity. We all have different levels of capacity. The masses themselves are in one place, but high performers are high-achieving leaders with a completely different capacity. Each resource needs to meet people where they're at with their capacity. And people need to look at the things that they least expect that are holding them back. When you look at certain dynamics you have in your life, and you start paying attention to whether or not they are uplifting you, there are things within that could affect your performance and ability to rise to the next level. [11:43] What are the things you go to see things you may not be aware of? Describing what specifics happen with clients is impossible because everybody has their own unique set of challenges and setbacks that they're unaware of. [12:18] When working with high-powered leaders, I try to understand that their personal and professional lives are not mutually exclusive. It's about delving into how all of that overlaps and how it affects their optimization ability. But as I do work with people, I can't specifically give unique challenges that everybody will go through. It's always different from each relationship that I have with my clients. [13:31] Taking the Leap People say they want it, but when it comes to accepting that challenge towards it, they tend to make up these reasons or excuses. If something feels uncomfortable regarding your personal growth, you need to step towards it. You need to jump fearlessly. [13:57] When I show up in a leader's life, it's the right time for them to make that decision to jump. And if they're not ready to jump, they're never going to be ready to jump. So I look at it that way where if there's anything that's coming up for you when it comes to your growth, you have to look at how it uplifts you. It can feel like it can be the thing that could take you to the next level. But it will challenge you in ways you never had. You need to start to feel the pullback and take the opportunity to step towards it. [15:24] What are the outcomes you get to experience in helping people? I wake up every day looking at how leadership causes more detriment in our world today than to benefit, especially with politicians and people worldwide. I'm just driven to get to those groups of leaders who want to live life on their terms to feel a sense of peace and freedom that they longed for. I want them to lead from a place of balance and become the most optimized version where not one aspect of their life is sacrificed, stress, pain, or suffering. [16:50] My business is the antithesis of what typical businesses are. I built it on purpose, where my focus is on the leader. All I care about is the handful of leaders that I get to support and push to a completely different level. So when I get to go to bed at night, and I'm exhausted, I feel great about that exhaustion. [17:18] Focusing on Leaders The typical paradigm is “How do you scale? How do you grow?” And I'm not built for that. I'm not made for the masses but for the high-capacity, high-achieving leader. For the last 12 years, I've been behind the scenes unknown, with no following and no community because it's all about focusing on the person I'm working with. It's all about that privacy and intimacy that they need to take their game to the next level as a leader to go out and create a bigger impact in the world. [19:19] Acceleration Get acceleration and get out of your way. I don't need to spend years with you. I'm not going to have you rely on coaching for the long haul. This shouldn't be a marathon but a sprint. We are very dynamic and intimate in what we do in a short period. I get you at the top of your game and keep you there. Then I get out of your way so you can go off and do even more badass stuff. [21:13] What promise did God make to the world when He created you? I was brought into this world to bring real transformation and healing to people in positions of power. Transformation is dark, ugly, and uncomfortable. It doesn't happen in the bright lights of the stage or through a book. It happens in the dark corners. I knew that and discovered more of it at a young age as I grew through those personal challenges from sports to writing to the military and beyond. I started to formally study and understand more about all of those things that can optimize someone. Key Quotes: [13:31 – 13:37] “If something feels very uncomfortable when it comes to your personal growth, you need to step towards it. You need to embrace it and fearlessly just jump.” [13:57 – 14:01] “When something shows up in your life, you need to take the opportunity to jump.” [16:15 – 16:23] “My business is the antithesis of what typical businesses are. I built it on purpose that way where my focus is on the leader, first and foremost.” [23:29 – 23:55] “You got to face your demons if you want to accelerate your performance to the highest levels. You have to look at those unresolved truths or realities that are holding you back. Those are the things that are hindering you and not adding more things into your life, hoping that that somehow builds you up to a level of success you desire.” Learn more about Wylie McGraw on: Website: https://www.wyliemcgraw.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/wyliemcgraw/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5eB02vV_S78ryDCra7BnZw Email: wylie@wyliemcgraw.com Phone: 561-803-5150

David Icke is an English writer, public speaker, and former media personality best known for his views on what he calls "who and what is really controlling the world". Describing himself as the most controversial speaker and author in the world, he has written 20 books explaining his position, dubbed "New Age conspiracism", and has attracted a substantial following across the political spectrum. His 533-page The Biggest Secret (1999) has been called the conspiracy theorists Rosetta Stone.Icke was a well-known BBC television sports presenter and spokesman for the Green Party, when he had an encounter in 1990 with a psychic who told him that he was a healer placed on Earth for a purpose. In April 1991 he announced on the BBC's Terry Wogan show that he was the son of God and predicted that the world would soon be devastated by tidal waves and earthquakes. The show changed his life, turning him practically overnight from a respected household name into an object of ridicule.He continued nevertheless to develop his ideas, and in four books published over seven years - The Robots' Rebellion (1994), And the Truth Shall Set You Free (1995), The Biggest Secret (1999), and Children of the Matrix (2001) - set out a moral and political worldview that combines New-Age spiritualism with a passionate denunciation of what he sees as totalitarian trends in the modern world. At the heart of his theories lies the idea that a secret group of reptilian humanoids called the Babylonian Brotherhood controls humanity, and that many prominent figures are reptilian, including George W. Bush, Queen Elizabeth II, Kris Kristofferson, and Boxcar Willie.Icke has been criticized for arguing that the reptilians were the original authors of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion - a 1903 Russian forgery purporting to be a plan by the Jewish people to achieve world domination - a claim that has attracted the attention of the far right and the suspicion of Jewish groups. Icke strongly denies there is anything antisemitic about this. He was allowed to enter Canada in 1999 only after persuading immigration officials that when he said lizards, he meant lizards, but his books were still removed from the shelves of Indigo Books, a Canadian chain, after protests from the Canadian Jewish Congress.David Icke has been writing for nearly 30 years of a coming global Orwellian state in which a tiny few would have control of the rest of humanity through the tools of finance, government, media, and a military-police. He has said that “physical” reality is an illusion, and what we think is the “world” is a holographic simulation or “Matrix” created to entrap human perception in ongoing servitude.Icke's view of New Age Conspiracism dawns at the fact that the universe is made up on vibrational energy and that the reptiles have controlled the Earth and human beings from times immemorial. He claims that they even manipulate global events to keep humans in a constant state of fear. Icke believes that the only way this influence can be defeated is by humanity waking up to ‘the truth', and filling their hearts with love.You can find more information on David Icke at: https://davidicke.com/

In this episode, we're going to learn 10 important adjectives that describe food, but also and more specifically, taste - but also how we can use these same words to describe people or events! For example, you can use “juicy” for gossip, or “rich” for an exaggeration, or “flaky” if someone is unreliable. These are all great words related to taste that we use in everyday conversation for other purposes.

Matina Agio (https://www.matinaagio.com) is a personal inheritance consultant. Her work inspires a deeper perspective into inheritance - beyond the legal and financial. She provides niche counselling, facilitating her clients- often in midlife, to resolve inheritance-related dilemmas, manage their possessions and create a meaningful legacy. Through her signature method - THE INHERITANCE MUSE METHOD™ (https://www.matinaagio.com/), she addresses both the tangible and intangible aspects of their inheritance, heritage & wealth. Matina's clients include art collectors, historic home owners, affluent individuals and family office members around the world. Matina's experience of living & working in England, France, Germany, Italy, US, Canada and Greece, allows her to address their varying backgrounds. Standout Quotes: * "For me, the main wealth of our inheritance lies in the intangible inheritance because it is that which is not vulnerable, and it is that which probably the most influential" - [Matina] * "A bad experience may turn out to be a very wealthy experience, it depends on how we process that...sometimes we receive good gifts in bad packages" - [Matina] * "Objects are storytellers, they contain memory" - [Matina] * "We just give our kids things, but we should give them stories with our things" - [Matina] * "The value of something to us is always what our experience of it is" - [Matina] * "Our ownership is a symphony of things put together, and we as good conductors have to master that symphony... so we can have harmonious wealth" - [Matina] * "It's not what happens to you but what you do with what happens to you" - [Matina] * "There are people who own a lot of things and experience very little value and then there are people who have very little things and they experience a lot of value" - [Matina] * "The legacy of someone and the effect that they have in your life can never be taken away... that's the most meaningful part of the wealth that you can give others" - [Matina] * "Research shows that family wealth is almost never lost due to poor financial decisions, its almost always lost by a breakdown in relationships and communication with co-inheritors" - [Mike] * "You cannot make decisions without understanding who you are because who you are will affect how that thing will play out in your life" - [Matina] Key Takeaways: * Matina describes an "Inheritance Muse" as someone who inspires others in relation to their inheritance. Inheritance can either be tangible or intangible. The intangible inheritance is more important because it is more influential and less vulnerable. It affects our beliefs, attitude towards life, abilities, and self-confidence. * Since parents are not perfect, sometimes we get good gifts in bad packages, so to understand intangible inheritance, sometimes we have to open our minds and look at what is there and how we can manage it so it adds value to us. * Describing how she started her work with inheritance, Matina shares her back story; although born in Athens, her family had to relocate to Canada following a political event that made the family unsafe. A key determining factor in her career was the heritage and culture her parents brought from Athens, which influenced her greatly. * This spurred her on to study interior design and renovation of historic homes and eventually become a cultural entrepreneur. Following the death of her parents, she inherited the home in Athens and had to curate everything by herself and started to work on also curating the influence her parents had on her as part of the legacy for her children. * Storytelling is the center of Matina's work; using the stories behind objects owned by clients to resolve issues. Parents need to tell stories about their things to their children because it is unlikely for a child to sell something that has a story to it. * When navigating inheritance and trying to be a custodian of what has been left behind, employing the concept of "Gratitude" is highly efficacious, in that it helps to understand the value of these things. This gives a reason to own these things and helps us know what our relationship was like with those who left them behind. * The Legacy Scale: This is a process to understand the personal value of any property to a person irrespective of the market value. * 2 classes of Real Estate: Objective Real Estate is the first type and it includes properties that have value but no particular personal relationship. Assets such as family homes on the other hand make up the second type of Real Estate which is usually more complicated and may involve co-inheritance. * There are 3 ways you can value something: First is the intrinsic value which is the value of that thing for itself without the market value. The second is the synergetic value which is the value of something in relation to the other properties owned by a person, or the impact it may have on other aspects of wealth. The last is the subjective value which is the question of "what does this mean to me? * Matina shares that she only works with individuals and not groups, because with an individual, issues can be dealt with in-depth and with speed. Even if the inheritance involves other people, by working with one person you change the constellation because the most important thing for a person to understand is " "What do I want?". The goal is to empower the individual to see how the inheritance fits into his life purpose and what action needs to be taken. * Matina describes the idea of "Life closure by design"; preferably the age of 50 is the ideal time to be more conscious about life closure, especially having light ownership and getting clarity on what will be left behind using "the Inheritance Muse method". * For the younger generation who are about to receive, it is very important to create conversations with your parents on things they feel strongly about, their lives, and their values. * When we have a relationship with something, the value of that thing is the value to us, not the monetary worth. Rather than keep that thing locked away, Matina advises people to use it in their lives in a more natural way. * What we do with our inheritance has two aspects; the first is to optimize it and use it so we can create happiness for ourselves, the second is to preserve what we can so we can give it to the next generation with stories and history. * The work of the Inheritance Muse is to help people understand where the real value is, in their assets. Matina explains a term called Wealth Dyslexia as the inability to grasp the scope and range of your wealth in a way that will give you value * Regarding the sale of property with a history, Matina highlights that it may not be possible to keep everything but properties can be sold with the story which adds value to it. Selling a property can help the owner feel lighter and focus more on things that have particular value to them. * Legacy is the effect that our lives have on other people's lives whether good or bad. Daily, we are curating our legacy, by who we are, what we do, and what we say. It's never too late to work on this. * The awareness of the certainty of death is empowering as it should give the ability to live life more intentionally and assess the impact of our ideals in our lives. * Inheritance is a gift given, we have to look at this and say, "what do I want with this?" It is important to look at it in a nonmonetary way, so we can know its effect on our lives. This is also covered in the "Inheritance Muse method". Understanding who you are is as simple as finding out where you are in your life and what you want. * From Matina to her kids: Resilience is very important and also finding time to tune into your deeper voice within. You have a choice in every moment. We are free to choose how we see something and how we respond.

Moses Kagan (https://www.kagansblog.com/) has been buying, renovating and managing apartment buildings in Los Angeles since 2008. His company, Adaptive Realty (https://www.adaptiverealty.com/), along with its investor-partners, owns approximately $200MM worth of high-quality buildings in interesting neighborhoods. Unusually for a real estate private equity firm, Adaptive and its partners do not fix and flip; instead, they act as permanent holders and stewards of the assets under their control. Standout Quotes: * "Rich families that own good assets generally don't look to sell them to maximize Pre-tax IRR" - [Moses] * "If you do not lose the building, the rents will recover" - [Moses] * "When you start to think about things indefinitely, and you're not in a rush, it kind of opens up other possibilities in terms of structure and strategy" - [Moses] * "It's very hard to go from zero to something… and it takes an entirely different set of skills to go from something to something much larger" - [Moses] * "I do not believe that we as individuals live our lives for ourselves" - [Moses] Key Takeaways: * Moses has been buying, renovating, and managing apartment buildings in Los Angeles since 2008, through his company, Adaptive Realty, alongside investor partners. He focuses on sub-institutional deals. * The most important part of the strategy is that rather than buy, fix and sell buildings to maximize pretax IRR, they buy properties, make them high-quality assets, manage and refinance them to get higher returns. The strategy was born from his family values as they had always been involved in Real Estate but never engaged particularly in sales of property. * There are two reasons why people sell; firstly investors have a mindset too focused on Pretax IRR, and secondly, the sponsor gets their money after selling. If you just hold on and keep the building, the rents will recover. * The initial funds for the business came from friends and family of Moses, and later from another family office who partnered with them. This partnership helped them build a track record that encouraged other investors to feel comfortable with them. * The structure for the business model is not to buy, renovate and sell like the typical model with PEs, but rather they partner with wealthy families with the explicit assumption to hold on to the property not sell, however, liquidation rights goes to the family that put up all the capital. The primary strategy has been to refinance the property to pull the capital out and give it back to the investors who still retain ownership and cash flow from rents. Adaptive Realty only gets fees for their work but not cash flow from rents, sales or refinance until the investors have got their capital. * Describing his family history, Moses shares how his first building was bought with capital from the family money dating back 4 generations. The wealth he enjoyed from his family was mostly in form of basic needs being met and, particularly education. * When starting a business with a partner, it is critical to have a decision-maker or tie-breaker irrespective of how profits are split. The relationship between Moses and his partner in terms of how earnings are split is quite stable even for the coming generation but open to discussions if need be. * There is currently no long-term family structure for his family, however, Moses spends a lot of time with his kids, to instill the values of passing on to the next generation what was done for them. * Discussing Storytelling, Moses emphasizes that your forebearers are a living part of your life, and tries to make those people present for his children even though they will never meet them. * Gaining exposure and immense assistance from his friends to succeed, Moses was also motivated to start finding ways to help people who didn't have the kind of opportunities he had. * Advice from Moses to those aspiring for multigenerational success: Don't put yourself in a position where one investor can wake up one day and force you to restart your career. This involves having different capital providers rather than being completely dependent on one. * From Moses to his kids: We owe everything to those who came before us, however, we can't repay them. We can only try to do for those coming after us what has been done for us, if not more. Episode Timeline: * [00:48] Meet today's guest, Moses Kagan. * [01:53] About the business, Adaptive Realty. * [13:50] How do you get investors to join you with your strategy of holding properties permanently? * [16:45] How have you structured Adaptive Realty to be different from the typical P.E model? * [21:55] Moses shares his family background. * [32:36] What's your perspective on multigenerational wealth? * [38:28] What does the future look like in terms of the next generation? * [41:07] Do you expect your children to get involved in the business? * [46:15] Is there any form of family governance structure? * [48:18] Moses shares his approach to storytelling as a method to pass on values. * [52:55] How Moses works to help others who haven't had the same privileges he enjoyed. * [57:06] Advice from Moses to listeners aspiring to build generational legacies. * [01:00:33] From Moses to his kids.
