EPISODE 747 - Spencer Hixon - Urban fantasy novels and short stories - A Sinister Love and Fate and FortuneAuthor Spencer Hixon joins the podcast to discuss his journey as a writer, the creative process behind his novels, and the imaginative world he is building through interconnected stories that blend fantasy, romance, and philosophical ideas about fate and time.Spencer shares how his life has taken him across the United States, from California to Washington DC, South Carolina, and eventually Indiana. Each move was tied to career and family opportunities rather than a desire to relocate, shaping his perspective and experiences along the way. Today he lives near South Bend while continuing to develop a growing body of fiction.At the center of Spencer's writing process is organization and structure. With many ideas constantly forming, he keeps a running system of notes and outlines he jokingly calls “Spencer's brain.” While he often develops multiple story ideas at once, he focuses on writing one project at a time to maintain continuity and clarity. Detailed outlines, character histories, and color coded notes help him track character motivations, reveal background information gradually, and ensure every scene serves the larger narrative.Character psychology plays a central role in his storytelling. Spencer approaches scenes by mentally stepping into the perspective of every character involved, allowing each one to act according to their own motivations. This method often leads to unexpected turns in the story as characters evolve beyond their original roles. While he usually knows the ending before he begins writing, the journey toward that ending frequently shifts as the characters develop.His books often experiment with storytelling structure and genre. While they are generally categorized as urban fantasy, Spencer describes them as hybrid stories that combine elements of romance, adventure, and philosophical exploration. He enjoys challenging traditional narrative frameworks such as the hero's journey and sometimes reverses familiar tropes to create new dynamics between characters.Spencer's fictional universe spans two connected trilogies. The first begins with A Sinister Love, a story about a demon named Scribble who works a desk job in purgatory before being sent to Earth to tempt a human. What begins as a humorous romance evolves into a much larger mystery involving conspiracies and the structure of the afterlife. The second storyline, beginning with Fate and Fortune, explores the consequences of altering destiny. In that story, a man who once made a deal to change his fate must travel back through key moments of his life to prevent disastrous outcomes, while each trip through time costs him precious moments from his remaining lifespan.Through these stories Spencer explores universal questions about choice, destiny, and the moments in life that shape who we become. His work invites readers to consider how small decisions can create lasting consequences and whether changing the past would truly lead to a better future.https://www.spencerhixon.com/Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca

Critical Mineral Resources PLC (LSE:CMRS, FRA:98J) CEO Charlie Long tells Proactive's Stephen Gunnion that recent drilling at the Agadir Melloul copper project in Morocco confirms the mineralised system continues, building on the company's understanding of the resource despite normal variability between drill holes. Long said the focus is on building a continuous, mineable resource rather than judging individual holes in isolation; the company's internal estimate already stands at around 25,000 tonnes of copper. Ahead of the maiden JORC resource, work is progressing in parallel on metallurgical testing, pilot plant preparation, process flow sheet design, plant site selection, tailings planning and water management studies. Detailed mine scheduling will follow once the formal resource model is in place. Long said the maiden JORC resource will be a key milestone for institutional investors and specialist mining funds, even as the company remains confident in its internal model: "We know we've got a resource already... the ultimate size of the resource is going to grow over time. It's just a matter of drilling." Watch the full interview for more on Critical Mineral Resources' strategy, upcoming milestones and development plans for Agadir Melloul.

STREAMING THE MAKING OF THE JBS, 7-29-26The provided text is a transcript from the John Batchelor Show, featuring a detailed discussion between hosts and experts regarding escalating geopolitical tensions involving China, Iran, and the South China Sea. The speakers highlight provocative Chinese military actions, including maritime bullying of Filipino personnel and the rare launch of a first-strike missile system from a submarine. Experts also examine a reported arms deal between China and Iran for anti-aircraft missiles, suggesting this marks a significant escalation in global instability. Additionally, the dialogue explores domestic turmoil within the Chinese Communist Party, specifically focusing on vacancies in the Central Military Commission and the unusual absence of Xi Jinping from high-profile commemorative events. Finally, the segment addresses the strained diplomatic and economic relations between the United States and Canada, noting a shift in Canadian public perception toward China and the U.S. amid trade disputes.

 by Patrick BromleyChicago's biggest and best horror convention returns!One of my favorite weekends of the year is Chicago's annual Flashback Weekend, the horror convention created and run by Mike and Mia Kerz that takes place in Rosemont, Illinois. It's three days of panels, parties, contests, vendors, celebrity guests, live music -- everything you could want as a horror fan. This will be my sixth year hosting panels at the convention, but I've been going to Flashback much longer than just these six years. I love it.This year's Flashback features a salute to 30 years of the Scream franchise, celebrates Halloween II, a Night of the Creeps reunion, features first-time Flashback appearances from Henry Thomas, Steven Weber, and the Silent Night, Deadly Night Santas, and even has Obsession co-star Megan Lawless making her convention debut (I get to host her panel on Sunday! Come on out!). Plus, this year sees the world premiere of a brand new Full Moon movie (relevant to my interests!), in-costume photo opps, Alan Howarth playing the score to Halloween II LIVE along with the film, a tribute to Svengoolie (the greatest horror host of all time), and so much more.One of my favorite things about Flashback -- besides all the cool guests and the chance to spend the weekend surrounded by horror stuff and horror fans -- is that it's a family-run convention and really feels that way. All of the proceeds from the con go into supporting the Midway Drive-In located in Dixon, IL -- the nicest and best drive-in in Illinois -- which they bought in 2007. I love that Flashback is dedicated to preserving the big-screen theatrical experience.From this year's press release:Flashback Weekend Chicago Horror ConventionJuly 31 - Aug. 2, 2026Hyatt Regency O'Hare Chicago, Rosemont, IL  60018 Tickets now on sale at www.flashbackweekend.comFlashback Weekend Chicago Horror Convention celebrates its 25th year with a MASSIVE Celebrity guest line-up, amazing evening events, luxurious after-parties, an enormous vendor room, and special Celebrity costume Celeb Photo-Ops.All of this and more, taking place in one of the largest and most beautiful Convention hotels in the World!FLASHBACK WEEKEND 2026 SALUTES;-30 years of SCREAM! Horror Icons! Tribute to the 1980's Golden Age of Horror!"OBSESSION" (2026)!!!

But he is the co-founder of Honu Worldwide in Innovative Product development, sourcing and three PL company based in Pennsylvania, USA. Afolabi has always been passionate about finding things, haggling and negotiating prices.

So with that introduction, welcome back to the podcast.Afolabi 00:01:30  Thanks, Josh.Afolabi 00:01:31  I'm happy to be back. I really enjoyed our past episode and I'm really excited and pumped up, you know, to continue on this point.Josh 00:01:40  Are there any sneak peeks that you could give us of kind of the best tips? You know, if you are working directly in terms of how do you make sure you, you know, you're not getting you know, there's not going to be fraud. They take your money and run or what are some tips in terms of, I think, most importantly, getting the best price possible without sacrificing quality. Do you have any tips or sneak peeks that you could give a give us from your course? Because it relates to, you know, working directly with the manufacturer?Afolabi 00:02:11  Yes, one of the great. One of the funniest and, interesting things I put on the course is to set up a bidding war with, your suppliers.Afolabi 00:02:23  how I do it is. So when I'm sourcing products, I sourced product from, let's say, five different suppliers. Sometimes it could be up to ten suppliers, and then they give me the pricing. I don't negotiate at the first time. I wait till the end before I negotiate my prices. And then when I get all this prices from the suppliers, then I call for a video or, or image samples. I'm like, let me see you samples, do a video or do a photo. I see that, oh, okay. From the ten suppliers I might shortlist only 5 or 6. So from the six I said, okay, can you send me samples? I need physical samples. They say, oh, you got to pay for sample, no problem. Update. So I pay them for sample or pay for the sample shipping. They send me the samples and I take a look at them. And maybe I like only three out of the six people, six suppliers that sent me their samples.Afolabi 00:03:16  So I cut off three, I keep three, so out of the three I would say something like, hey, without them knowing, see, they don't know that all these three, all the suppliers don't know each other and they don't know I'm getting samples from different suppliers. So let's say one comes up at $2, another one comes up at $1.50, another one comes up at $1.75. So I know okay $1.75 is the middle range $1.50 I look at the quality of the $1.51. It's almost the same quality as the $2 one okay. That means this product can actually go with go for $1.50 or less. Then I look at how can I create a bidding war with these three guys and still get what I want in terms of product quality? I want product quality. So I would use two and two things. I'll use quantity purchases and I'll use price match. So I'll say to the one, let's say the 175 one has the best, quality. I'll say, hey, well I looked at your product and other suppliers product.Afolabi 00:04:31  I like your product, but your price is way more than other suppliers. and it's going to come back to me and say, what are they quoting you? Okay. I'm trying to get to $1.25 for this. And if you can do a $1.25, I'll give you a 5000 piece order right away. I'll choose you if you can beat the prices. So it's going to come back and say, Well, let me talk to my boss and said, okay, no problem. And then he says, well, we can only do $1.45 or a dollar, whatever. Okay, that's a good one. I know I can actually buy it at $1.50. Right. Because the lower range of my price is $1.50. I'm like okay. All right. Dollar 45 is fine, I say. But so when it gives me a price of $1.45, I keep quiet. I don't reply him anymore and it's going to keep blowing up my phone, my email, because he can't wait. He knows he's at the tipping point.Afolabi 00:05:33  It's at the at the point is about I'm about to hand him money because I already showed him money. I'm like, I'm going to order 5000 unit, but I want it at $1.25 and it comes, it comes back with $1.45. I'm like, okay, I keep quiet, okay. And it's going to start saying, hello, how are you? How are you there? I'm are you there? I'm like, I want people ask me, how long do I keep quiet? Sometimes a week or more. I just don't see anything...

As the PRI marks its 20th anniversary, responsible investment stands at a turning point. In an investment landscape that has grown more complex, what will it take to shape the next chapter of responsible investment?  Cambria Allen-Ratzlaff, Interim CEO of the PRI, is joined by Josselin Kalifa, CIO of Caisse des Dépôts Asset Management and Co-Chair of the Net Zero Asset Owner Alliance, and Anne-Marie Chidzero, CIO at FSD Africa Investments.Together, they explore why responsible investment is increasingly recognised as simply good investment, how emerging markets are shaping the future of sustainable finance, and how investors navigate a more complex and fragmented global landscape. From capital mobilisation and blended finance to technology, resilience and the next generation of investment leaders, the conversation looks ahead to what will make responsible investment more credible, more relevant and more effective over the next 20 years.Detailed coverage:Responsible investment is good investmentThe guests discuss how ESG considerations have become embedded within investment processes, with responsible investment increasingly viewed as applying sound judgement, managing long-term risks and identifying material drivers of value.Emerging markets are shaping the futureAnne-Marie explains how African financial markets are developing their own responsible investment approaches, with growing pools of domestic capital helping finance solutions tailored to local economic, social and environmental priorities.Maintaining credibility through financial materialityThe conversation explores why responsible investment must remain grounded in evidence, financial relevance and measurable outcomes rather than ideology, particularly in an increasingly fragmented political environment.Mobilising capital for sustainable growthExamples from African capital markets demonstrate how collaboration between development finance institutions, private investors and local markets can unlock innovative financing solutions for water, energy and natural capital.The role of stewardship and asset ownersJosselin reflects on how asset owners can influence long-term outcomes through investment decisions, manager selection, voting and ongoing engagement with portfolio companies.Technology, resilience and the future of financeThe guests discuss the growing importance of digital resilience, AI, data quality and stronger financial infrastructure in supporting sustainable economic development.A multidisciplinary futureThe episode concludes by encouraging the next generation of investment professionals to combine financial expertise with disciplines such as climate science, technology, geopolitics and demography to navigate an increasingly complex investment landscape.Chapters:00:00 – Introduction: 20 years of the PRI and responsible investment04:12 – Why responsible investment is now simply good investment06:43 – Emerging markets and Africa's growing influence10:27 – Remaining credible in a changing global landscape16:16 – Financing inclusive growth and resilient economies19:43 – The role of asset owners and stewardship24:21 – Technology, innovation and deepening capital markets27:38 – Partnerships to mobilise sustainable finance30:27 – Advice for the next generation of investors33:10 – Final reflections on the next 20 years of responsible investmentDisclaimer:This podcast and material referenced herein is provided for information only.

Justin Reid, President and CEO of Troilus Mining Corp. (TSX: TLG) (OTCQX: CHXMF) (FSE: CM5R), joins me for a comprehensive development update on all the derisking work going on with detailed engineering, the power has been secured with Hydro Quebec, the Company has been selected by Quebec for the New Filon Initiative which will expedite permitting, and an update on near-mine and regional exploration at the Troilus Copper-Gold Project located in northcentral Quebec, Canada.    Project Execution Progress Highlights   Detailed Engineering fully mobilized across process plant, infrastructure, site layout, 3D modelling and procurement support. More than 40 bid packages have been issued for tender or are under technical and commercial evaluation, covering major process equipment, infrastructure, site services and enabling works. Initial enabling infrastructure selections made for key water treatment and site support systems. Major process equipment package progressing through final selection, representing an important upcoming milestone for Detailed Engineering and construction planning. Geotechnical field drilling program completed, supporting foundation design, site layout, infrastructure planning and earthworks. Independent third-party reviews of process plant design, Basic Engineering assumptions and capital cost methodology completed, with no material issues identified. On June 10, 2026, Troilus Mining announced that it recently welcomed representatives from the Government of Québec to the Troilus Copper-Gold Project in north-central Québec for the official announcement of the allocation of 70 megawatts (“MW”) of hydroelectric power to the Project.   On July 27th, it was announced that the Troilus Project has been selected by Québec's Minister of Natural Resources and Forests, the Honourable Kateri Champagne Jourdain, as one of the first projects to benefit from Filon, a specialized support service established by the Government of Québec to enhance government coordination and support the advancement of strategic mining projects through the provincial permitting process.   Announced as part of Québec's 2025-2031 Strategy for the Development of Critical and Strategic Minerals, Filon is designed to strengthen coordination among government ministries and agencies involved in the authorization process for qualifying projects. The specialized support provided through the Filon initiative comes amid broader efforts by the Governments of Québec and Canada to improve the efficiency, clarity and predictability of regulatory processes for major projects through a dedicated team of mining specialists, the specialized support facilitates communication between project proponents and the government ministries and agencies responsible for issuing permits and authorizations, while maintaining Québec's rigorous environmental review framework.    Wrapping up we discussed the ongoing 40,000 meter drill program that has been focused on near-mine resource growth, high-grade target definition, and regional exploration across its 435 km² land package.

Ohio's race for governor is bringing competing visions for property tax relief into focus. Democratic candidate Dr. Amy Acton is proposing targeted relief for homeowners, including expanding the homestead exemption and creating an income-based property tax cap. Republican candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has called for dramatically reducing property taxes and has previously supported eliminating them altogether. The Ohio EPA has abandoned a proposed statewide permit that would have allowed data centers to discharge wastewater under a single set of rules. Instead, the agency will require each facility to obtain an individual permit with a project-specific environmental review. The decision came after the agency received thousands of public comments raising concerns about potential impacts on Ohio waterways. An investigation published this week by Mother Jones details allegations against U.S. Rep. Max Miller involving claims of domestic violence, drug use and threats. Miller, who is campaigning for reelection, has denied wrongdoing and challenged many of the allegations in court, while some related investigations remain ongoing. Akron's Northside Marketplace will permanently close July 31 after its owners said mounting debt and financial challenges made the business unsustainable.

This one of a kind disturbing experience has forced Sebastien to resort to the services of a hypnotherapist to help him with anxiety issues arising from this life changing encounter as well as prophetic visions he had since he was a child. Detailed memories were extracted from these sessions, providing critical information about the Galactic Alliance agenda, split souls, human consciousness and much more. More recent visits involving 11th dimensional beings reinforced Sebastien's beliefs and clarity in terms of parallel timelines.

Send us Fan MailHomeowners are starting to skip the search results and go straight to AI for an answer, and that changes everything for local contractors. When someone asks ChatGPT, Gemini, Alexa, or Siri who to call for HVAC, plumbing, pest control, or roofing, the “winner” may not be the biggest spender or the loudest brand. It's the company the AI system trusts enough to recommend, and trust is built from signals you control.We dig into what those signals look like in real life: consistent messaging and business info across your website, Google Business Profile, and social platforms, plus visible proof that you're active and credible. We talk about why expertise is no longer a keyword trick and how a practical content strategy (videos, articles, FAQs, and real homeowner education) turns your business into the obvious choice. If you can clearly explain bills, maintenance, replacements, timelines, financing, and common problems, you're building the authority AI systems look for.We also get honest about reputation. It's not just the number of reviews anymore, it's what the reviews actually say. Detailed customer stories about punctuality, respect, communication, and results become powerful user-generated content that AI can interpret.

Ben Lorica sits down with Evangelos Simoudis to unpack why open-weights models are closing the gap with frontier labs and pushing enterprises toward “corporate AI sovereignty.” They then apply an attenuation-funnel lens to AI coding tools — more code, but far less shipped software and usage growth — before turning to “neoconsulting,” the outcomes-based services model reshaping Accenture, Palantir, and the big Indian IT firms.Subscribe to the Gradient Flow Newsletter

Most investors think they're buying the same thing when they choose a target date fund—but two people who bought 2025 target date funds 15 years ago could have 40% different returns today. Same target year, wildly different outcomes. The culprit? Fund families structure these "simple" investments in dramatically different ways, and most investors never look under the hood. Key Topics Discussed Passive Investing vs Active Financial Planning (00:03:30) Cody explains why you should be a passive investor but an active financial planner in your own life, noting that 95% of active investors underperform broad index funds over time. Understanding Target Date Funds (00:08:15) How target date funds work as default 401(k) options, automatically shifting from aggressive to conservative allocations as retirement approaches along a predetermined glide path. Surprising Differences Between Target Date Funds (00:18:45) The revelation that identical retirement target years can produce vastly different outcomes depending on fund family—differences in international exposure, bond types, and allocation strategies compound over time. Comparing Fidelity, Schwab, and Vanguard Target Dates (00:24:00) Detailed breakdown of how three major fund families structure their target date index funds differently, with varying philosophies on diversification and risk management. The Hidden Costs of Target Date Funds (00:32:20) Analysis showing target date index funds cost 35% to 400% more than purchasing underlying index funds directly. Fidelity's target date index fund, for example, is four times more expensive than buying Fidelity's component funds separately. Static Allocation Funds Explained (00:38:10) Introduction to balanced funds that maintain constant allocations (like 60/40 stocks/bonds) regardless of your age or proximity to retirement. Target Maturity vs Constant Maturity Bond Funds (00:42:30) Deep dive into how target maturity bond funds differ from traditional bond index funds—all bonds mature in the same year, converting to cash automatically without requiring you to sell anything. The Seven-Year Bond Strategy (00:48:15) Cody's approach to determining bond allocation: calculate seven years of planned spending and hold that percentage in bonds. If you'll withdraw $40,000 annually from a $1 million portfolio, hold 28% in bonds ($280,000) and 72% in stocks. Bond Ladders and Behavioral Finance (00:55:00) How target maturity bond funds overcome psychological barriers to spending in retirement by eliminating the need to "sell" assets—bonds simply mature into cash when you need it. Simplicity vs Complexity in Portfolio Design (01:02:30) Cody shares his personal eight-fund retirement portfolio strategy, explaining why something that appears complex can actually feel simpler from a behavioral perspective. Notable Quotes Mike Piper, CPA (quoted by Cody Garrett, CFP®): "There is no perfect portfolio, but there are countless perfectly fine portfolios." Rick Ferri, CFA (quoted by Cody Garrett, CFP®): "The perfect portfolio is the one you're going to stick with. Maintaining discipline is the hardest part of investing." Cody Garrett, CFP®: "Once you understand what a target date fund is, you no longer need one." Cody Garrett, CFP®: "Investing is like a bar of soap. The more you touch it, the less there is." Brad Barrett: "Success in personal finance and investing comes down more to behavior, vastly more to behavior than it comes down to any type of knowledge or intelligence." Key Takeaways Review your 401(k) fund lineup and sort by expense ratio to identify the lowest-cost index fund options available to you If your 401(k) lacks low-cost index funds (under 0.10% expense ratio), contact your plan administrator to request they be added to the fund lineup Calculate how much money you plan to spend from your portfolio over the next seven years to determine your appropriate bond allocation Visit Morningstar.com and review the portfolio tab of any target date funds yo…
