Hello Latino USA Listeners! We’re excited to share a special episode from our friend, Honey German from Gracias, Come Again. Honey sits down with the legendary Maria Hinojosa - an award-winning journalist whose career began in 1993 with one clear mission: to make Latinos visible. From her early days in radio to founding Futuro Media and leading Latino USA, Maria has spent decades amplifying our stories and holding power accountable. Maria opens up about her fight to ensure the current administration doesn’t silence her voice or her initiatives, why she and Futuro Media reject terms like “minority” and “illegal,” and why she’s calling on Latino journalists to take responsibility for how they represent our community in the news. As she reminds us, “Basic due process is being tested on our backs!” But it’s not all heavy they also share laughs about life with her Dominican husband, how she keeps herself fit and grounded, and the passion that continues to drive her work. This episode is both a masterclass in journalism and a powerful reminder of what it means to fight for visibility, dignity, and truth. ✊

The Asia Cup turned out to be an ugly affair. Dominated by off-field drama, the continental tournament made headlines for the wrong reasons more often than not. India and Pakistan met three times, including a historic first in the final. Yet, their battles will be remembered more for the tensions on the field than for any memorable cricketing moments. From the handshake snub to provocative gestures by Pakistan players, the India-Pakistan clashes were a disappointment for purists of the sport. India, however, simply took a stand they believed in. Pakistan, on the other hand, opted for the ugly route, focusing on theatrics rather than cricket. The drama reached its peak on the final day when Pakistan Cricket Board chief Mohsin Naqvi walked away with the trophy after India refused to accept it from him. In the latest episode of the Sledging Room podcast, Akshay Ramesh, Alan John, and Kingshuk Kusari reflect on what was arguably one of the most controversial cricket tournaments in history. Tune In!

On this episode of Next on the Tee, I welcome back one of my all-time favorite guests, 1978 PGA Champion John Mahaffey, making his 10th appearance on the show. John and I revisit his special connection to Oakmont, the site of his major championship win, and he shares how the course has evolved since his 1978 PGA Championship victory there. I also get his perspective on JJ Spaun's U.S. Open victory before shifting gears to the Ryder Cup. John takes us inside his experience on the victorious 1979 team, recalling what it was like being paired with Lee Elder and Hale Irwin, facing Brian Barnes in singles, and handling the pressure of that opening tee shot on Friday. We finish up with a couple of wonderful Ben Hogan stories that you won't want to miss, plus how he was able to successfully transition careers from play to broadcasting. I round out the episode with another very special friend of the show, Dr. Russell Levenson. Russ radiates positivity and spirituality, something that shines through every time he speaks. Last time, we talked about his book Witness to Dignity and his friendship with President George H.W. Bush and First Lady Barbara Bush. Now, Russ shares insights from his upcoming book, Witness to Belief: Conversations on Faith & Meaning, which features powerful conversations with 12 extraordinary individuals, including Condoleezza Rice, Denzel Washington, Amy Grant, Jane Goodall, and Dr. Francis Collins. His warmth, wisdom, and storytelling will leave you feeling uplifted and filled with positive vibes.

For many children, going barefoot isn't a choice—it's a daily struggle that puts their health, safety, and future at risk. But one pair of shoes can change that story.Today, we'll hear how Buckner Shoes for Orphan Souls is bringing hope and dignity to vulnerable children around the world. Shawn Spurrier joins us to share how God is changing lives through something as ordinary—and extraordinary—as shoes.Shawn Spurrier is the Director of Buckner Shoes for Orphan Souls at Buckner International, an underwriter of Faith & Finance. A Mission That Began in DallasBuckner Shoes for Orphan Souls started in 1999 as a local effort in Dallas, Texas, to serve children in Russian orphanages. Over 25 years later, God has expanded this work into a global ministry. Today, more than 5 million children in 86 countries have received shoes through the generosity of churches, businesses, and believers across the U.S.What began as a small act of compassion has grown into a worldwide movement of hope.More Than Shoes: Health, Safety, and EducationAround 300 million children worldwide lack access to shoes. This barrier affects nearly every aspect of life:Health—Shoes prevent footborne diseases, many of which carry social stigma and long-term consequences.Education—In many countries, shoes are required for school attendance. Without them, children are forced to stay home, trapped in cycles of poverty.Hope—Receiving shoes as a gift in Jesus' name opens hearts to the Gospel and connects families with life-changing ministries.Shoes are more than fabric and rubber—they are a bridge to dignity, opportunity, and transformation.Restoring Dignity for FamiliesFor many of us, buying new shoes for back-to-school is routine. But in parts of the world where Buckner serves, parents may spend months saving to afford just one pair—or go without entirely. Some families must rotate a single pair of shoes between siblings, deciding who can attend school on a given day.The gift of shoes restores dignity to parents, enabling them to provide for their children and giving kids the confidence to learn, grow, and thrive.Global Reach and Local ImpactBuckner's ministry extends both globally and locally:United States—Shoe distributions in Texas, including for families affected by flooding.Latin America—Serving children in Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Honduras, and Peru.Africa—Programs in Ethiopia and Kenya.Beyond—Partnerships have extended Buckner's reach into 75+ additional countries.Every pair of shoes opens the door to broader ministry. Family Hope Centers offer resources, education, and Christ-centered training, bringing lasting transformation to entire communities.How You Can JoinTogether, we're striving to provide 1,000 children with shoes, socks, and the message of God's love.$15 provides one child with shoes and socks.$150 equips ten children.Visit GiveShoesToday.org to make your gift and bring hope to a child in need.Shoes may seem ordinary, but in the life of a child, they are extraordinary. They represent safety, opportunity, dignity, and above all, the love of Christ.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm 40 and have several old 401(k) accounts from past employers. One advisor suggests consolidating them for an expected return of 8–10%, while another recommends a hedge fund offering 15–17% returns.

On Saturday, August 9, 2025, Father Scott Cunningham, Pastor of Christ Church Madison, taught on the biblical theology of sex and intimacy found in I Corinthians 6:12-20. This talk, entitled The Christian Sexual Revolution, contained three building blocks: (1) The Dignity of Sexuality, (2) The Mystery of Sexuality, (3) The Redemption of Sexuality. This handout was used to follow along with the talk.Based on Father Cunningham's 2022 Christ Church Madison sermon series, The Dignity & Mystery of Sexuality (available here), this message also corresponds to a talk that Pastor Devin gave in February 2025 on the spiritual gifts of singleness and marriage outlined in I Corinthians 7 entitled Singleness Is For Everyone (recordings available here - part 1, part 2, part 3).If you have any questions about this talk, feedback, or ideas for future topics, please reach out to the HPC Adult Christian Education Team, ace@highpointchurch.org! Engage & Equip is a resource designed to help form substantive disciples for the local church.Find more episodes at highpointchurch.org/podcastMusic: HOME—We're Finally Landing, Nosebleed, If I'm Wrong (https://midwestcollective.bandcamp.com/album/before-the-night)

Today we zoom in on the heart of Catholic education: every human life bears unalienable dignity. Drawing on a recent papal remark and the doctrine of the Imago Dei, Jonathan unpacks what this means in classrooms and staffrooms: how we speak, how we correct, how we form culture. You'll hear practical ways to recognize Christ in the “hardest to love,” build a community that refuses utilitarianism, and keep Catholic identity at the center of school life.You'll learn:Why Imago Dei is the engine of Catholic pedagogyHow language, expectations, and mercy shape a school's cultureDaily practices to honor dignity—especially with difficult students/colleaguesShare with a colleague and subscribe for daily Catholic education & mission content.Find out about booking Jonathan to come and speak at your school or eventhttps://jonathandoyle.co/Book a coaching call with me right now - For Principal's and Leaders in Catholic Educationhttps://jonathandoyle.co/Come and join Jonathan for his daily Youtube videos:https://www.youtube.com/@onecatholicteacher/videosFind Jonathan on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/jdoylespeaks/

Today, Ben welcomes KJ Smith—financial advisor, theologian, and founder of Ethos Logos Investments—for a conversation about what it means to bring Catholic social teaching into the heart of financial life. KJ shares how his unlikely pairing of finance and theology has become a vocation, shaping his mission to help Catholics invest in ways that honor both prudence and conscience. Their discussion explores the seven principles of Catholic social teaching—from the inviolable dignity of the human person to the call of solidarity and care for creation—and how these truths offer a framework for making money decisions that serve the common good. KJ reflects on the tension between growth and sacrifice, profit and responsibility, and why stewardship is never merely about returns but about loving one's neighbor through economic choices. Together, they highlight how Catholic financial planning calls us to reject exploitation, embrace responsibility, and see investing not as speculation but as participation in God's work of renewal. In the end, the conversation is both practical and deeply theological, inviting listeners to view their financial lives as a lived expression of faith, mission, and love in action.Key Takeaways:• Many Catholic institutions follow U.S. bishops' investment guidelines, but their employee retirement plans often fail to reflect those same values. • Faith-based investing does not necessarily require Catholic-only funds—it requires avoiding violations of Catholic teaching.• Catholic investing is not simply about avoiding sin but about directing capital toward companies that contribute to human flourishing.• Stewardship of creation is a moral responsibility because natural resources are gifts meant to serve present and future generations.• Solidarity requires recognizing that the suffering of one impacts all, calling us to mutual responsibility.• Ultimately, Catholic financial planning integrates prudence, justice, stewardship, and love, transforming money decisions into expressions of faith and service.Key Timestamps:(00:00) - KJ Smith's Background and Education(04:00) - Catholic Social Teaching in Financial Services(08:46) - Human Dignity and Economic Inequality(14:09) - Social Responsibility and Community Participation(16:39) - Rights, Responsibilities, and the Common Good(21:41) - Balancing Rights and Responsibilities(24:07) - Personal Discernment and Sphere of Influence(28:45) - The Dignity of Work and Rights of Workers(33:21) - Solidarity and Care for God's Creation(36:27) - Integrating Faith and FinanceKey Topics Discussed:Catholic Money Mastermind, Catholic financial planning, Catholic financial planners, Catholic financial advisors, Ben Martinek, faith and financesMentions:Website: https://www.elinvestments.net/ Mentions: Story of a Soul by Saint Thérèse of LisieuxMore of Catholic Money Mastermind:Catholic Money Mastermind Podcast is a personal podcast meant for educational and entertainment.

Please join us at patreon.com/tortoiseshack In this Reboot Republic podcast, Rory talks with Tanya Ward, Director of the Children's Rights Alliance about the reasons underlying the shocking figure that 1 in 5 children in Ireland are in poverty after housing costs are paid. We discuss the impact of the housing costs – as families are forced into food poverty and overcrowding, the impact on children of growing up in poverty, and the solutions – investment in early years intervention and targeted measures at low income families and areas of disadvantage.

LIVE from the American Public Transportation Association's TRANSform conference, host Paul Comfort moderates a live panel on one of the most mission-critical—but often overlooked—parts of the transit ecosystem: paratransit.Presented in partnership with UZURV – The Adaptive Transportation Network Company (TNC), this candid and high-energy conversation features leaders from across the country who are redefining what's possible when innovation meets accessibility.Guests:Mark Aesch, CEO, TransPro Consulting Eileen Collins Turvey, Director of Paratransit, TriMet (Portland, OR)Kevin Hernandez, Chief Operating Officer, GRTC (Richmond, VA) Ned Freeman, CEO, UZURV Together, they discuss:Why paratransit isn't just an “unfunded mandate”—it's a cornerstone of transit's value to the communityHow performance-based models and TNC partnerships are helping agencies cut costs and boost rider satisfaction New data showing paratransit users are the most satisfied transit customers in America What success looks like when we prioritize dignity, flexibility, and equity  

At EUVC Summit 2025, Marius Istrate didn't come to pitch a fund or debate capital structures.He came to talk about something harder to define—but more urgent than ever: inspirational European leadership.And it wasn't all comfortable.“It's great to win together with others. But we should be capable of winning alone if needed.”Marius spoke as someone who's helped shape ecosystems from the ground up. As the leader of Romania's largest angel group, he's seen firsthand what local ambition looks like—and what it lacks.“I don't want to be the VC who accidentally becomes a politician because no one else stepped up.”But leadership, he argued, isn't about power. It's about clarity, empathy, and ownership.“If you pinned every place in Europe that calls itself the ‘Silicon Valley of Europe,' the map would collapse.”The obsession with copying Silicon Valley is a distraction. What Europe needs isn't mimicry—it's confidence in its own identity. And that means policies, capital structures, and culture that reflect our values, not someone else's blueprint.One of the most poignant parts of Marius' talk centered on something distinctly European:“It's not fair that I should work more than my parents. It's not fair that my retirement is uncertain.”That sense of fairness—a shared European moral compass—isn't a bug. It's a feature.And it can inform the kind of political and ecosystem leadership we need now.“People don't want perfection. They want dignity. And when possible, empathy.”In a time of rising populism and political gridlock, this felt like a quiet manifesto for something different.“It shouldn't be our job to inspire people—because our political leaders should already be doing that.”Marius wasn't calling for VCs to become politicians. He was calling for a renaissance of purpose in Europe. For a generation of builders, thinkers, and yes, investors, to step up and fill the vacuum—not with slogans, but with systems, strategy, and soul.“Give us something to hope for—something we can call our own.”This wasn't a policy talk. It was a wake-up call.And in classic EUVC fashion, it ended with an open invitation: Let's talk more. Let's build better. Let's define what European leadership really means—together.From VC to VisionSilicon Valley of Europe? Please.Fairness, Dignity, EmpathyA Call to Build What's Ours

In this episode, Rosie Moss sits down with Clare McCue, who faced one of the most difficult journeys imaginable: walking with her husband Mattie through ALS, and ultimately supporting his decision to die with dignity through Canada's medical assistance in dying (MAiD) law.Clare shares candidly what it meant to prepare her young son Hudson for his father's death — not by hiding it, but by weaving him into every stage of the process. From navigating a chaotic healthcare system during lockdown, to explaining assisted dying with honesty and compassion, Clare opens a window onto the realities few families ever speak of.The conversation explores:The emotional, legal and practical steps of pursuing assisted death in Canada.How Clare and Mattie made space for dignity and agency, even in decline.The raw reality of telling a child that his father had chosen the time and place of his death.How organ donation added a powerful sense of legacy to Mattie's final act.The ways Clare turned grief into action through community fundraising and everyday rituals with Hudson.As Clare says, “Hope wasn't that everything would be okay, but that there would be meaning in how it worked out.”This is an extraordinary story of love, courage, and the controversial but profoundly human choice of assisted death.
