Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell look at how Boyd and Williams' claims of self-defense compare to that of Anijah Yarnell. Yarnell killed a man in 2020 which the court determined was a justified Stand Your Ground shooting in 2023 and the state is appealing that decision. It seems Attorney General Alan Wilson has two different ways of determining “who” qualifies for Stand Your Ground immunity … and it seems to have nothing to do with the evidence and EVERYTHING to do with who the shooters are.  Also on today's show, we continue our investigation of the shooting homicides of Charity Beallis and her two 5-year old twins in Bonanza, Arkansas. No arrests have been made and multiple law enforcement agencies, including the Secret Service are working on the case.  While Charity's husband Randy Beallis denies any wrong doing, we're diving deeper into Randy's past that reveals an allegedly violent history.  A history that prosecutors acknowledged when they offered him a sweetheart deal for choking Charity in 2025.  Two months after that plea deal… Charity and the twins were dead. 

Carl and Mike open up the show with some Falcons talk as they share thoughts on why they it is ok to say that currently they do not know what Michael Penix Jr. is as he yet to play under center for an entire season and there still needs to be time before determining whether or not Penix Jr. will work out for the Falcons.

Episode Title: Trade & Tech Series: Using Technology to Unlock Duty Mitigators Hosts: Renee Chiuchiarelli & Julie Parks (Hammer & Heels) Published Date: January 27, 2026 Episode Length: ~11 minutes Series: Trade & Tech

Markets have rallied for four straight sessions and are once again pressing toward all-time highs. With price action improving, markets are close to coming off a momentum sell signal—and if upside follow-through holds, that shift could occur as soon as today. A confirmed breakout would provide much-needed "wind beneath the wings" for investor confidence heading deeper into earnings season. Today's focus turns to several mega-cap earnings reports, where recent pullbacks have created short-term trading opportunities. Apple reports this week following a notable selloff, leaving the stock technically oversold. In that setup, it may not take a dramatic earnings beat to generate upside momentum. Options markets are currently implying a 4–7% move, assuming results surprise to the upside. The key risk, however, lies less in the earnings print and more in forward guidance—strong results paired with cautious outlooks can still disappoint. Amazon continues to consolidate sideways, while Microsoft has rallied into earnings and recently triggered a momentum buy signal despite facing overhead resistance. A better-than-expected report could be enough to push shares through those levels. Meta, though slightly overbought short term, remains in a broader oversold context and could also benefit from positive earnings surprises. Taken together, recent pullbacks across several Mag-7 stocks appear to have formed a tradable bottom—not necessarily a durable one, but one that presents tactical opportunity as earnings drive near-term price action. As always, risk management matters most as volatility tends to rise around earnings announcements.

Whether you brave the cold and come or watch from home, we will continue studying Mark 13. After foretelling the temple's destruction, the disciples ask Jesus when this will happen and what the sign will be that these things are about to occur. In verses 5-13, Jesus gives them no specific sign to watch for but tells them about the ongoing events that will occur before the destruction—things that will happen throughout every generation: wars, rumors of wars, earthquakes, famines, and persecution. These are not signs that Jerusalem's destruction or the final judgment is near. Now, in verses 14-23, Jesus provides the disciples with a sign to watch for and explains what they must do (flee to the mountains) when they see it. The sign is the abomination of desolation. Since this chapter is quite controversial with many different viewpoints, I will take some time this Sunday to show why I believe verses 14-23 mainly discuss the destruction of Jerusalem, and verses 24-27 are Jesus foretelling His second coming. It's not enough to just say "this means that." In these difficult passages, I think it's necessary to show how we reach our conclusions. However, if we only focus on the history of Jerusalem's destruction, the meaning of the abomination of desolation, and end-times theology, we might miss what God is speaking to us today through this text. So, while we will discuss all those details for clarity, our main focus in preaching and application will be on what Christ is calling us to do now and how we can follow Him more faithfully. Whether you join us in person or watch online, I hope you will join us to worship God and listen to His Word speak to us today. I. What Is The Abomination Of Desolation? (v. 14) II. Determine to Obey Christ's Word In Tribulations (v. 14-17) III. Depend Upon God's Grace & Goodness In Tribulations (v. 18-20) IV. Do Not Be Deceived & Turn Back In Tribulations (v. 21-23)

What seems right in the moment—chasing ease, thrill, or gain—can quietly trade your gold for brass and lead straight to destruction.

Choosing an Ireland vacation package seems simple enough. You find a deal you like- be it self-drive or guided- and make the purchase. Done. Ireland vacation booked and ready. But it may not be so simple. Airline transfers, car rental, accommodations… they all play a role in the success of your vacation to Ireland. This article is also available as the Traveling in Ireland podcast, episode 324. Use the player below to listen or scroll to continue reading the article and get resource links. Ireland Vacation Packages Explained: What's Included, What's Not, and What Matters Ireland vacation deals are designed to be attractive – but what looks good at first glance may not be the vacation of your dreams. Step 1: Determine what attracted you to the deal Use the tips below to help you avoid Ireland vacation package purchase regret. Vacation packages are often marketed as ‘all or mostly inclusive' – but there are always additional costs. Were you attracted by the price? Cheap Ireland vacations may not be the best deal. You will be able to spot this as you break down the package. Were you attracted by the accommodations? A bit of research into the vacation package will reveal more about your lodging. Were you attracted by the images or description? Dig into the details and see if those places are included in the package or are just ‘suggestions'. Keep in mind what appealed to you as you dig into the deal. Step 2: Check the terms of the vacation package Review what is included in the package- and what is extra. Most vacation package deals show the lowest priced dates. If the dates can be changed how does that afftect the price? How is the vacation package priced? Most are based on 2 people, sharing. If you have a larger group how will you be accommodated (transportation, lodging, etc)? If you are a solo traveler are there extra charges? Be sure to read the terms and conditions! What is the cancellation policy? Might trip insurance be a good idea? (Don't purchase the travel insurance offered with the vacation package without doing your research! Read more about travel insurance for your Ireland vacation here.) Most importantly- who do you contact if you encounter a problem? Step 3: Know where the package will take you Does the package have a set itinerary? Does it take you to places you want to visit? If the package doesn't have an itinerary do you know how to plan what to see and do? (hint: I can help with that!)Free Itineraries – Vacation Coaching Calls – Bespoke Itinerary Creation Step 4: Review your transportation Where do flights depart? Can that be changed and, if so, how does that affect the cost? Can you get to the departure airport without further significant cost? Also note that many packages do not allow accrual of frequent flyer points and that children do not receive a special fare. Is car rental included? If so be aware that in most cases you will have to pay for insurance upon arrival in Ireland. Resource: Car Rental & Driving Guide. Pay close attention to Ireland Car Rental Insurance and Yes You Can Rent a Car if You are Over 70 (if applicable). If your tour is guided check all information on pick up, drop off, and how you will be transported. Also be aware that guided tours do not include a gratuity in the package cost. If your tour includes rail be sure to study a rail map and figure out how you will get from the city hubs into the country to visit the sites you want to see. Read more: Traveling Around Ireland: Trains, Buses, and Automobiles Step 5: Check the accommodations Will you be in a single location or will you be switching accommodation during your trip? Check the drive times to your first night's lodging from the airport and your final night's lodging to the airport. That 2 hour drive may not seem like a lot until you realize your flight from Dublin leaves at 9am and you need to arrive 3 hours prior to boarding to clear all the security points. If the accommodations are set are they near places you want to see and visit? For packages offering hotel stays check hotel ratings. Be sure to see if there is an ‘alternate' hotel in case the first hotel isn't available. (Trip Advisor is a great resource for this). If staying at a luxury property check to see if those great resort activities (like a Hawk Walk, horseback riding, or 5* dinner) are included in your package or if they will carry an additional charge. As you review the vacation package you'll easily see if it is as great a deal as it first appeared or if the tour is the right fit for you.

Does it feel like you're not growing in your career? Perhaps not learning much? Or building new skills? Or not sure which skills to even build? Maybe you're noticing other people passing you by.

If any of those questions are tugging at you, you're in luck, because I've got a lesson today wrapped in a little story with a big punch that'll shed some light on the answers. But first, one more question. Do you think pulling together and delivering a status report is boring? If you answered yes, drop what you're doing and give me four minutes.

A new client recently asked Kirsten a question that resonated: "What can we do so we don't face the same pushback I did when my mom's bank wouldn't accept her power of attorney?" It's a frustration many families face—you have all the right documents, but when it's time to use them, banks and institutions push back. In this quick-tips episode, Kirsten Howe explains why powers of attorney are the most problematic basic estate planning document—not because they're poorly drafted, but because they require acceptance from a third party who doesn't know you to trust that your agent is legitimate. She walks through the bank's perspective on why they hesitate, and shares practical strategies to make sure your documents actually work when you need them most, including re-signing your POA periodically, keeping assets in your trust, and filling out your bank's own power of attorney form.

Paul reminds us of the motive behind each of the five admonitionsof sins that we are to “put off”. The admonition “to put off lying”.Why? The motivation is because we are members of one another, and therefore weare to speak the truth to one another. The next admonition is, “Be angry, anddo not sin; do not let the sun go down on your wrath, nor give place to thedevil.” The motivation is to remember that whenever we allow anger to get thebest of us—when anger turns into bitterness and malice, and then is released inwrath—it brings harm, hurt, and destruction to others and even to ourselves. Atthat point, we have given place to the devil. Itis important to understand that the emotion of anger itself is not sinful.Anger is actually a good thing because it reflects that we have a sense ofjustice, that we all have, because we are created in the image of God, Because Godis a God of justice, He must punish evil. The Bible tells us that God is angrywith the wicked every day (Psalm 7:11). In that sense, our emotion of anger reflectsa God-like concern for what is right and should be rewarded, and what is wrongor evil and should be punished. However, Scripture teaches in both the Old andNew Testaments that we are to let God take care of vengeance. Paulclearly speaks of how as believers we are to responded to evil and offences in Romans12:17-21: “Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in thesight of all men. If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceablywith all men. Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place towrath; for it is written, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay," says theLord.  LetGod take care of the offense or pain you feel in your heart or life. When youdo, you are able to display the character of Christ by forgiving those who harmyou. Stephen did this when he prayed, “Lay not this sin to their charge.” Jesusdid the same when He said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what theydo.” We take the hurt, the pain, and the offenses committed against us andchoose to forgive. In doing so, we are like Jesus. We are following Hisexample. We are allowing the light of God and the life of Christ to shinethrough us.Itis very human and very natural to respond in anger when we are hurt, because wedo have a sense of justice. But we must allow God to be the Judge. He is theOne who will take care of the vengeance we feel in our hearts. We are not toget even as the Gentiles do—saying, “I'll pay them back.” No, my friend, youdon't need to pay them back. God will take care of that.Inthe meantime, instead of giving place to the devil and allowing him to ruin andwreck your life, you give place to God. You worship God instead of Satan. Youare saying, “Lord, I want You to rule and reign. I want You to display Yourpower and Your glory in my life.” Remember David in the Old Testament,particularly in the Psalms. He expressed his anger, but he took it to God. ReadPsalm 109. David gave it to the Lord and said, in effect, “Lord, I place this in Yourhands.” Romans 12:21 teaches us. “Do not be overcome by evil,but overcome evil with good.” You have the opportunity to do good to thosewho hurt you and cause you pain. In doing so, you demonstrate that you trulytrust God to handle the justice, the consequences, and whatever needs to bedone in the life of the one who hurt you.Oh,my friend, we have the privilege of walking as Christ walked and living asChrist lived because we have His power—His Holy Spirit—living within us. If itis possible, as much as depends on you—and remember, He lives in you—you simplyyield yourself to Him. Trust Him. Determine to obey His truth. As you yield tothe Holy Spirit, love, joy, and peace will be displayed in your life, and thepeople around you will see Jesus in you—especially when you are hurt. Insteadof giving place to the devil, you give place to the Lord Jesus Christ, and Heis displayed and glorified through your life.

Federal Medicaid cuts have dominated the news cycle, but there's a California-specific change that's barely getting attention—and it could blindside thousands of current Medi-Cal recipients. Starting again in 2026, the state is reinstating asset limits for Medi-Cal long-term care coverage, a requirement that was eliminated just two years ago. In this episode, estate planning attorney Kirsten Howe unpacks what this means if you or someone you love relies on elderly or disabled Medi-Cal benefits. She explains the $130,000 asset threshold, which assets remain exempt, and why your 2026 annual eligibility report could jeopardize your coverage.  Time-stamped Show Notes: 0:00 Introduction 0:02 What's getting lost in the headlines: California's quiet asset limit reversal versus the federal Medicaid funding cuts everyone's talking about 1:56 Understanding MAGI Medi-Cal: the income-based coverage created under the Affordable Care Act for lower-income Californians 2:17 Why long-term care Medi-Cal is different—and why the returning asset test only affects elderly and disabled recipients 3:16 Back to strategic planning: what the 2026 deadline means for anyone hoping to qualify for Medi-Cal in the future 3:35 Kirsten walks through the exempt asset list—your home, vehicle, prepaid funeral arrangements, burial plot, small life insurance policies, and retirement accounts like IRAs and 401(k)s 4:55 The annual report risk no one is discussing—how your 2026 eligibility filing could trigger a coverage loss 5:36 You qualified then, but will you now?

[podcastsponsor] Machine-Generated Transcript What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn: In this week’s In-Ear Insights. Welcome back. Happy new year. It’s 2026. I have just begun to realize as I was cleaning out my pantry over the holidays, oh yeah, all these things expire in 2026. That’s this year. A lot happened over the holidays. A lot of changes in AI. But one thing that hasn’t happened yet but has been in discussion that I think is—Katie, you wanted to talk about—was SEO for good or ill, sort of centered on this GEO acronym, Generative Engine Optimization, and all of its brethren: AIO and AEO and whatever. SEO’s companion has always been SEM, also known as Pay Per Click marketing, and that has its alphabet soup like rlsa, remarketing lists for search ads, and all these acronyms, part of the paid version of search marketing. Well, Katie, you asked a very relevant… Katie Robbert: …question, which was, when is GEM coming? So as a little plug, I’m doing a Friday session with our good friends over at Marketing Profs on GEO and ROI, which I have to practice saying over and over again so I don’t stumble over it. But basically the idea is what can B2B marketers measure in GEO to demonstrate their return on investment so that they can argue for more budget. And so what we were talking about this morning is that GEO is really just an amped up version of brand search. If you know SEO, brand search is a part of SEO. And so basically it’s like how well recognized is my brand or my influencers or whatever. If I type in Katie Robbert or if I type in Trust Insights, what comes back? And so all of the same tactics that you do for branded search, you do for GEO plus a little bit more. So it’s the same end result, but you need to figure out sort of where all of that fits. So I’ll go over all of that. But it then naturally progressed into the conversation of, well, part of brand search is paid campaigns. You pay money to Google AdWords, if that’s still what it’s called, or whatever ad system you’re using, you put money behind your branded terms so that when someone’s looking for certain things, your name comes up. And I was like, well, that’s the SEM version of SEO. When are we getting the paid version of GEO? So basically GEM, or whatever you would want to call it, the way that I kind of envision it. So right now these systems like ChatGPT and Gemini and Claude, they’re not running ads. They’re making their money from usage. So they’re using tokens, which Chris, you’ve talked about extensively. But I can envision a world where they’re like, okay, here’s the free version of this. But every other query that you run, you get an ad for something, or at the end of every result, you get an ad for something. And so I would not be surprised if that was coming. So that was sort of what I was wondering, what I was thinking. I’m not trying to plant the idea that they should do that. I’m just assuming based on patterns of how these companies operate, they’re looking for the next way to make a revenue stream. So Chris, when I mentioned this to you this morning, I couldn’t see your face, but I assumed that there was an eye roll. So what are your thoughts on GEM? Christopher S. Penn: Here’s what we know. We know that on the back end for all these tools, what they’re doing when they use their web search tools is they’re writing their own web queries. They literally kick off their own web searches, and they do 5, 10, 20, or 100 different searches. This is something that Google calls query fan out. You can actually see this happening behind the scenes. When you use Google, you’ll see it list out summarized in Gemini, for example. You’ll see it in ChatGPT with its sources and stuff. We know—and if you’re using tools like Claude code or Gemini code—you will actually see the searches themselves. It is a very small leap of the imagination to say, okay, what’s really happening is the LLM is just doing searches, which means that the infrastructure exists—which it does for Google Ads—to say, when somebody searches for this set of keywords, show this ad. The difference is that AI searches tend to be eight to 10 words long. When you look at how Claude code does searches, it will say “docker configuration YAML file 2025” as an example of a very long term, or “best hotels under $1,000 Ibiza 2025 travel guide” would be an example of a more generic term that is a very specific, high-intent search phrase that it’s typing in. So for a system like Google to say, “You know what, inside of your search results, when it does query fan out, we’re just going to send a copy of the searches to our existing Google Ad system, and it’s going to spit back, ‘Hey, here’s some ads to go with your AI generated summary.'” I would say initially for marketers, you have to be thinking about how Gemini in particular does query fan out, how it does its own searches. We actually built a tool for this last year for ourselves that can measure how Gemini just does its own searches. We have not published because it’s still got a bunch of rough edges. But once you see those query fan out actions being taken, if you’re a Google Ads person, you can start going, “Huh? I think I need to start making sure my Google Ads have those longer, more detailed, more specific phrases.” Not necessarily because I think any human is going to search for them, but because that’s the way AI is going to search them. I think if you are using systems like ChatGPT, you should be—to the extent that you can, because you can see this in the developer API, not the consumer product, but the developer side on OpenAI’s platform—you can see what it searches for. You should be making notes on that and maybe even going so far as to say, “I’m going to type in, ‘recommend a Boston based AI consulting firm.'” See what ChatGPT does for its searches. And then if you’re the Google Ads manager, guess you better be running those ads. And probably Bing, probably Google. OpenAI said they’re going to build their own ad system—they probably will. But as many folks, including Will Reynolds and Rand Fishkin, have all said, Google still owns 95% of the search market. So if you’re going to put your bets anywhere, bet on the Google Ads system and put your efforts there. Katie Robbert: So it sounds like my theory wasn’t so far fetched this morning to assume that GEM is coming. Christopher S. Penn: Absolutely it’s coming. I mean, everyone and their cousin is burning money running AI, right? It costs so much to do inference. Even Google itself. Yes, they have their own hardware, yes, they have their own data centers and stuff. It still costs them resources to run Gemini, and they have new versions of Gemini out that came out just before the holidays, but still not cheap, and they have to monetize it. And the easiest way to monetize it is to not reinvent the wheel and just tie Gemini’s self-generated searches into Google Ads. Katie Robbert: So, I think one of the questions that people have is, well, do we know what people are searching for? And you mentioned for at least OpenAI, you can see in the developer console what the system searches for, but that’s not what people are searching for. Where do tools like Google Search Console fit in? For someone who doesn’t have the ability to tap into a developer API, could they use something like a Google Search Console as a proxy to at least start refining? I mean, they should be doing this anyway. But for generative AI, for what people are searching for? Because the reason I’m thinking of it is because what the system searches for is not what the person searches for. We still want to be tackling at least 50% of what the person searches for, and then we can start to make assumptions about what the system is going to be searching for. So where does a tool like Google Search Console fit in? Christopher S. Penn: The challenge with the tool, Google Search Console, is that it is reporting on what people type before Gemini rewrites it. So, I would say you could use that in combination with Gemini’s API to say, okay, how would Gemini transform this into a query fan out? Katie Robbert: But that’s my point: what if someone—a small business or just a marketing team that is siloed off from IT—doesn’t have access to tap into the API? Christopher S. Penn: Hire Trust Insights. Katie Robbert: Fair. If you want to do that, you can go to TrustInsights.ai/contact. But in all seriousness, I think we need to be making sure we’re educating appropriately. So yes, obviously the path of least resistance is to tap in the API to see what the system is doing. If that’s not accessible—because it is not accessible to everybody—what can they be doing? Christopher S. Penn: That’s really—it’s a challenging question. I’m not trying to be squirrely on purpose, but knowing how the AI overviews work, Gemini in Google is intercepting the user’s intent and trying to figure out what is the likely intent behind the query. So when you go into your Google search now, you will see a couple of quick results, which is what your Google Search Console will report on. And then you’re going to see all of the AI stuff, and that is the stuff that is much more difficult to predict. So as a very simple example, let me just go ahead and share my screen. For folks who are listening, you can catch us on our YouTube channel at trustinsights.ai/youtube. So I typed in “Python synth ID code,” right, which is a reference to something coding-wise. You can see, here’s the initial search term; this will show up in your Google Search Console. If the user clicks one of the two quick results, then once you get into webguide here, now this is all summarized. This is all written by Gemini. So none of this here is going to show up in Google Search Console. What happened between here and here is that Gemini went and did 80 to 100 different searches to assemble this very nice handy guide, which is completely rewritten. This is not what the original pages say. This is none of the content from these sites. It is what Gemini pulled from and generated on its own. Katie Robbert: So let me ask you this question, and this might be a little kooky, so follow me for a second. So let’s say I don’t have access to the API, so I can’t pull what the system is searching, but I do have access to something like a Google Search Console or I have my keyword list that I optimize for. Could I give Generative AI my keyword list and say, “Hey, these are the keywords or these are the phrases that humans search for. Can you help me transform these into longer-term, longer-tail keywords that a machine would search for?” Is that a process that someone who doesn’t have API access could follow? Christopher S. Penn: Yeah, because that’s exactly what’s going on inside Google software. They basically have, “Here’s the original thing. Determine the intent of the query, and then run 50 to 100 searches, variations of that, and then look at the results and sort of aggregate them, come back with what it came up with.” That’s exactly what’s happening behind the scenes. You could replicate that. It would just be a lot of manual labor. Katie Robbert: But for some, I mean, some people, some companies have to start somewhere, right? I could see—I mean, you’re saying it’s a lot of manual labor—I could even see it as a starting point. Just for simple math, here are the top 10 phrases that Trust Insights wants to rank for. “Hey, Gemini, can you help me determine the intent and give me three variations of each of these phrases that I can then build into my AdWords account?” I feel like that at least gives people a little bit more of a leg up than just waiting to see if anything comes up in search. Christopher S. Penn: Yeah, you absolutely could do that. And that would be a perfectly acceptable way to at least get started. Here’s the other wrinkle: it depends on which model of Gemini. There are three of them that exist. There’s Gemini Pro, which is the heavy duty model that almost never gets used in AI Overview. Does get used to AI mode, but AI Overviews, no. There’s Gemini Flash, and then there’s Gemini Flashlight. One of the things that is a challenge for marketers is to figure out which version Google is going to use and when they swap them in and out based on the difficulty of the query. So if you typed in, “best hotels under $1,000 Ibiza Spain,” right? That’s something that Flashlight is probably going to get because it’s an easy query. It requires no thinking. It can just dump a result very quickly, deliver very high performance, get a good result for the user, and not require a lot of mental benchmarks. On the other hand, if you type something like, “My dog has this weird bump on his leg, what should I do about it?” For a more complex query, it’s probably going to jump to Flash and go into thinking mode so it can generate a more accurate answer. It’s a higher risk query. So one of the things that, if you’re doing that exercise, you would want to test your ideas in both Flashlight and Flash to see how they differ and what results it comes back with for the search terms, because they will be different based on the model. Katie Robbert: But again, you have to start somewhere. It reminds me of when the smart devices all rolled out into the market. So everybody was yelling at their home speakers, which I’m not going to start doing because mine will go off. But from there, we as marketers were learning that people speaking into a voice, if they’re using the voice option on a Google search or if they’re using their smart home devices, they’re speaking in these complete sentences. The way that we had to think about search changed then and there. I feel like these generative AI systems are akin to the voice search, to the smart devices, to using the microphone and yelling into your phone, but coming up with Google results. If you aren’t already doing that, then get in your DeLorean, go back to, what, 2015, and start optimizing for smart devices and voice search. And then you can go ahead and start optimizing for GEO and GEM, because I feel like if you’re not doing that, then you’re at a serious disadvantage. Christopher S. Penn: Yeah, no, you absolutely are. So, I would say if you’re going to start somewhere, start with Gemini Flash. If you know your way around Google’s AI Studio, which is the developer version, that’s the best place to start because the consumer version of the web interface has a lot of extra stuff in it that Google’s back end will not have that the raw Gemini will not have because it slows it down. They build in, for example, a lot of safety stuff into the consumer web interface that is there for a good reason, but the search version of it doesn’t use because it’s a much more constrained use. So I would say start by reading up on how Google does this stuff. Then go into AI Studio, choose Gemini 3 Flash, and start having it generate those longer search queries, and then figure out, okay, is this stuff that we should be putting into our Google Ads as the keyword matches? The other thing is, from an advertising perspective, obviously we know the systems are going to be tailored to extract as much money from you as possible, but that also means having more things that are available as inventory for it to use. So we have been saying for three years now, if you are not creating content for places like YouTube, you have missed the boat. You really need to be doing that now because Google makes it pretty clear you can run ads on multiple parts of their platform. If you have your own content that you can turn into shorts and things, you can repurpose some of that within Google Ads and then help use that as fodder for your ad campaigns. It’s a no-brainer. Katie Robbert: To be clear, we’re talking about the Google ecosystem. Some companies aren’t using that. You can use a Google search engine without being part of the ecosystem. But some companies aren’t using Gemini, therefore they’re not using Developer Studio. If they’re using OpenAI, which is ChatGPT or Claude, or a lot of companies are Microsoft Shops. So a lot of them are using Copilot. I think taking the requirement to tap into the API or Developer Studio out of the conversation, that’s what I’m trying to get at. Not everybody has access to this stuff. So we need to provide those alternate routes, especially for all of our friends who are suffering through Copilot. Christopher S. Penn: Yes. The other thing is, if you haven’t already done this—it’s on the Trust Insights website, it’s in our Inbox Insight section. If you have not already gotten your Google Analytics Explore Dashboard set up to look at where you’re currently getting traffic from generative AI, you need to do that because this is also a good benchmark to say, “Okay, when this ad system rolls out for ChatGPT, for example, should we put money in it for Trust Insights?” The answer is yes, because ChatGPT currently is still the largest direct referrer of traffic to us. You can see in this last 28 days. Now granted this is the holidays, there wasn’t a ton happening, but ChatGPT is still the largest source of AI-generated direct clicked-on stuff to our website. If OpenAI says, “Hey, ads are open,” as we know with all these systems in the initial days, it will probably either be outlandishly expensive or ridiculously cheap. One of the two. If it errs on the ridiculously cheap side, that would be the first system for us to test because we’re already getting traffic from that model. Katie Robbert: So I think the big takeaway in 2026 is what is old is new again. Everyone is going to slap an AI label on it. If you think SEO is dead, if you think search is dead, well, you have another thing coming. If you think SEM is dead, you definitely have another thing coming. The basic tenets of good SEO and SEM are still essential, if not more so, because every conversation you have this year and moving forward, I guarantee, is going to come back to something with generative AI. How do we show up more? How do we measure it? So it really comes down to really smart SEO and SEM and then slapping an AI label on it. Am I wrong? I’m not wrong. So if you know really good SEO, if you know really good SEM, you already have a leg up on your competition. If you’re like, “Oh, I didn’t realize SEO and SEM were important.” Now, like today, no hesitation, now is the time to start getting skilled up on those things. Forget the label, forget GEO, forget GEMs, forget all that stuff. Just do really good intent-based content. Content that’s helpful, content that answers questions. If you have started nowhere and need to start somewhere today, take a look at the questions that your audience is asking about what you do, about what you sell. For example, Chris, a question that we might answer is, “How do I get started with change management?” Or, “How do I get started with good prompt engineering?” We could create a ton of content around that, and that’s going to give us an opportunity to rank, quote, unquote, rank in these systems for that content. Because it will be good, high-quality content that answers questions that might get picked up by some of our peer publications. And that’s how it all gets into it. But that’s a whole other side of the conversation. Christopher S. Penn: It is. It absolutely is. And again, if you would like to have a discussion about getting the more technical stuff implemented, like running query fan out things to see how Gemini rewrites your stuff, and you don’t want to do it yourself, hit us up.

The Struggle with Time -- Until I Determine How We Want to Use Our Time, Others Will Determine How Our Time Is Used MESSAGE SUMMARY: Life will never settle down until we chose to settle down. Life is a choice more than we realize. We are given twenty-four hours in a day, and if God had wanted us to have thirty-six hours in our day, He would have given us a thirty-six-hour day. Therefore, if we don't have enough clock in our day, we are doing some things we should not be doing. We can determine some of the time traps that keep us from serving the Lord and how we can address the traps to better serve ourselves and the Lord. Is the clock our dictator; do we allocate time to serve the Lord, our families, and our work? How do we delegate? Life will never settle down until we choose to settle down; life is a choice. To manage our time as God would have us manage our lives: 1) Work is important and necessary, but working is not living; 2) Time is life first and then money; 3) More life productivity means more time; 4) How we use our time significantly effects our self-esteem, identity, and our fulfillment; and 5) We cannot control time, but we can control how we use time. We must get control of the time issues in our lives. The simple formula for managing our time: Prayer, Priority, and Plan. Managing our time better is a fundamental question as we end a year and begin a new year. We must learn to honor the Lord by "honoring our time".    TODAY'S PRAYER: Keeping the Sabbath, Lord, will require a lot of changes in the way I am living life. Teach me, Lord, how to take the next step with this in a way that fits my unique personality and situation. Help me to trust you with all that will remain unfinished and to enjoy my humble place in your very large world. In Jesus' name, amen.    Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 129). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that because of what God has done for me in His Son, Jesus, I AM FORGIVEN. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9 SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): Ecclesiastes 3:1-8; Ecclesiastes 9:11-17; 1 Corinthians 10:31; 2 Corinthians 6:2; Romans 8:18; SCRIPTURE REFERENCE SEARCH: www.AWFTL.org/bible-search/ A WORD FROM THE LORD WEBSITE: www.AWFTL.org WEBSITE LINK TO DR.

MCNAMARA, THE KENNEDYS, AND JACKIE'S PLEA Colleague William Taubman. Fearing a political challenge from Robert Kennedy in 1964, Johnson used McNamara to monitor the Kennedys' intentions, specifically sending him to determine if Jackie Kennedy would publicly support an RFK nomination. Despite acting as Johnson'sagent, McNamara maintained a deep, emotionally complex relationship with Jackie, serving as a father figure to her children and comforting her after the assassination. This bond created a conflict for McNamara, as Jackie eventually pounded on his chest during a private meeting, desperately pleading with him to stop the slaughter in Vietnam. NUMBER 6 1966

Welcome back to another episode of School Counseling Simplified. Happy December. Today we are doing a throwback to one of my favorite episodes, all about how to design a small group curriculum that actually works. In this episode, we are getting into the meat and potatoes of small group curriculum. My goal is to make the process simple, realistic, and easy to implement so you can confidently design groups that support your students and meet your counseling goals. When it comes to small group curriculum, you are likely doing one of two things. You may be using activities or curriculum that you have already purchased, such as hard copy books provided by your school or resources from Teachers Pay Teachers. Or you may be creating your own curriculum from scratch because one has not been provided for you. No matter which route you choose, there are six steps you can follow to design a small group curriculum that works. Identify your topic Start by identifying your small group topic using referral data or student needs. For example, you may notice a need for a self control group. Outline your weeks with ASCA aligned objectives Determine the length of your group, typically six to eight weeks. Choose one clear objective for each week. Align each objective with an ASCA mindset and behavior that matches your goal. Once this is complete, type out your weekly outline so you have a clear plan to follow. Select your icebreakers Icebreakers are especially important during the first session to help students feel comfortable and connected. Choose simple activities that build rapport and introduce the group structure. Select your activities Activities are the core of each session. Look closely at your weekly objective and choose an activity that directly supports that skill or concept. This ensures your sessions stay focused and intentional. Select a reflection piece Reflection is a powerful part of student learning. Journals work especially well for small groups. Even five minutes of reflection can help students process what they learned and apply it outside of the session. Create your self assessment Data collection is essential for tailoring your sessions and tracking student progress. Create a self assessment that is based on your weekly objectives so you can measure growth throughout the group. This framework helps you stay organized, intentional, and data driven while creating small groups that truly support your students.   Resources Mentioned: Join IMPACT Group Bundle Group Cheat Sheet ASCA Mindset and behaviors Connect with Rachel: TpT Store Blog Instagram Facebook Page Facebook Group Pinterest Youtube   More About School Counseling Simplified: School Counseling Simplified is a podcast offering easy to implement strategies for busy school counselors.

2025 has been a year of significant highs and lows, a bittersweet time marked by personal loss but also tremendous growth in our community of listeners and clients. As we wrap up the year, I wanted to take a moment to reflect and, more importantly, to give back by answering the most pressing questions on your minds. In this episode, I'm tackling the top 10 most asked financial questions I received in 2025 from both clients and listeners. From the future solvency of Social Security and the reality of rising inflation to the specifics of Bitcoin and long-term care, we are covering the topics that directly impact your retirement confidence. I also share a special thank you gift to you my listeners: a significant discount on my Retirement Readiness Review course to help you kickstart your 2026 planning. Whether you are wondering if you should pay off your mortgage or how to find a truly objective financial advisor, this episode provides the clear, direct answers you need to navigate your financial future.  You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... [00:00] Will Social Security be there for you when I retire? [06:04] How to handle rising inflation in retirement. [12:34] Should you be investing in Bitcoin in 2026? [17:37] The pros and cons of paying off your mortgage early. [21:51] Getting your children started with investing and saving. [26:01] Protecting your investments during a market downturn.  Social Security Solvency: Should You Worry? One of the biggest fears retirees face is the potential expiration of Social Security. The most recent trustees' report projects that benefits can be paid at 100% until roughly 2033. If no changes are made by then, benefits could be reduced by approximately 20%. However, history suggests that Congress will act to prevent such a drastic cut, especially given how heavily the average American relies on this income. We also saw recent changes with the "Social Security Fairness Act" passed just before President Biden left office, which restored benefits for many teachers and state employees previously affected by reductions. While this adds strain to the system, it highlights the political will to support retirees. Inflation and Investment Strategy Inflation has been a persistent concern since the post-COVID stimulus era. For retirees on a fixed income, combating this is difficult because pensions and Social Security cost-of-living adjustments are automatic and out of your control. The single best hedge against inflation is your investment portfolio. Historically, stocks are the only asset class that has significantly outpaced inflation over time. While this comes with volatility, maintaining an exposure to equities (often 50–70% for many retirees) is often necessary to ensure your purchasing power lasts as long as you do. The "Retirement Number" Formula Forget the arbitrary goal of saving "$1 million" or "$2 million." Retirement planning is about paycheck replacement. To find your number: Calculate Expenses: Determine your monthly spending needs in retirement. Subtract Fixed Income: Deduct your expected Social Security and pension income from that expense number. Determine the Gap: The remaining amount must come from your portfolio (401k, IRA, brokerage). Apply the Withdrawal Rate: Using a conservative 4% withdrawal rate, determine if your savings can cover that gap. Don't forget to account for taxes! You can use online calculators or work with a CPA to estimate your after-tax income. Specific Asset Questions: Bitcoin and Mortgages Bitcoin: Despite its popularity, Bitcoin remains a highly speculative asset. In 2025, while the stock market saw gains of 15-18%, Bitcoin was down significantly, highlighting its volatility. For most retirees, the risks outweigh the benefits when a standard diversified portfolio can already meet your income needs. Mortgage Payoff: Emotional peace of mind often conflicts with financial math. If you have a low interest rate (e.g., 3%), rushing to pay off that "cheap money" rarely makes sense when you could earn 5% or more on your investments. Furthermore, taking a large lump sum from an IRA to pay off a house could trigger a massive tax bill and even IRMAA surcharges on your Medicare premiums. Tax Planning: Roth Conversions and New Legislation With the passing of the "One Big Beautiful Tax Act" in 2025, we have new opportunities for tax planning. Roth Conversions: If you expect your future tax rate to be higher than your current rate, converting traditional IRA funds to Roth can save you money long-term. New Deductions: The new legislation allows for a higher SALT (State and Local Tax) deduction cap of $40,000 until 2030, which is a huge benefit for those in high-tax states like Connecticut. This might create a unique window over the next few years to perform conversions more tax-efficiently.

We discuss how to be brutally honest about your own desires and ensure God's  plan trumps your preferences and dreams. Determine obstacles in advance: Everyone counts the cost of a building, but few count the cost of their character. We'll unpack how unhealed wounds, undiscovered weaknesses, and unseen worldliness could set up to rob your next anointing. Put a plan in place: Discover the systematic steps necessary to finish the race God set before you. This isn't about being perfect; it's about being prepared. If you're ready to stop the guessing game and start running the race with purpose, this episode is your crucial mid-course correction.
