Five scientists were escorted out of a diabetes conference by police for handing out a scientific paper — published in the host's own journal. By the time the American Diabetes Association finished explaining itself, its president and president-elect had resigned, and the editorial those five hoped 200 people might read had 76,000 views.Everyone is covering the removal. Molly is covering the two statements that came after it — the apology that blamed the people it was apologizing to, the peace-offering email that arrived days after an arrest threat, and the moment the ADA's response became a bigger story than the thing it was responding to.Chapters:0:00 — The PR Breakdown Live: New Format, One Deep-Dive Crisis1:43 — Why the American Diabetes Association Story Is Personal: Type 1 Diabetes and a Donor's Stake3:03 — The One-Sentence Version: ADA Removes Five of Its Own Scientists6:07 — ADA Scientific Sessions in New Orleans and the NIH Keynote Spark8:56 — Keynote Canceled for a Trump Meeting: Members Mobilize12:06 — Friday June 5: The Diabetes Care Editorial Handout12:57 — Police Remove the New Orleans Five: Why Optics Always Win14:25 — The Scott Pelley CBS Parallel: Making It About Policy and Procedure19:31 — The ADA's First Statement: Policy Defense and a Blaming Apology29:18 — Own It, Explain It, Promise It: The Indestructible PR Framework31:07 — The Badge Offer Backfires: An Olive Branch on Fire36:14 — Running the Crisis Playbook Backwards41:33 — Two Crisis Traps: Protecting the Institution and Playing the Victim43:45 — The Media Data: 24 to 86 Articles and 60% Negative Sentiment46:27 — The Resignations: ADA President and President-Elect Step Down50:41 — How the ADA Recovers: The Courageous Leadership Playbook

In this episode of the Cause+Effect Podcast, Trent Dunham, President+CEO of Dunham+Co, sits down with Josh Crowther, VP of Dunham+Co, to unpack the real reasons donors lapse. Some reasons are outside an organization's control, like personal financial pressure, economic uncertainty, or shifting cultural attitudes toward generosity. But many causes are self-inflicted — including silence, poor communication, overused urgency, and fundraising tactics that prioritize immediate ROI over long-term relationship.Trent and Josh discuss how organizations can identify lapsed donors, avoid common retention mistakes, and build stronger communication strategies that re-engage supporters. They also explore why lapsed donors often still see themselves as connected to your mission — and why that should change the way nonprofits communicate with them. For nonprofit leaders, fundraisers, and ministry teams, this conversation offers practical insight into donor retention, reactivation, and building lasting relationships with the people who make your mission possible. CHAPTERS 00:00 – Introduction01:12 – Why donors stop giving02:00 – Economic uncertainty and donor confidence04:38 – The decline in charitable giving07:05 – Why silence causes donors to lapse10:36 – The problem with constant urgency13:18 – Treating donors like wallets15:28 – How to re-engage lapsed donors

In this week's episode we discuss the issue of what does it mean being part of the process in terms of explaining Torah and psak. How do we understand R Menashe of Iliya's proposing ideas different from the classics?  We also examine a very important statement of R Menashe of Iliya in his last work, Shekel HaKodesh, about his custom of travel. Can we combine this with his first pamphlet, Pesher Davar? Does the statement sound in character for him? Or was it something he learnt later in life?  You can now help Rabbi Wittenstien  create new and original content via our non profit  'The Jewish History and Tanach Foundation'.  Your support and partnership is greatly appreciated.

There's $326 billion sitting in charitable accounts that face no legal requirement to ever pay out a cent — and the 2026 IPO wave is about to add hundreds of thousands more. Donor-advised funds are now 11 of the top 20 charities in the US by contributions, and the same vehicle that could fund the climate transition has spent two decades quietly funding the movement against it.In this episode, Susan Su reveals how DAFs became the fastest-growing force in American philanthropy, why that should bother anyone who cares about climate, and what donors can actually do about it.We cover:How financialization turned a sleepy 1931 community-foundation tool into the biggest charity engine in the country, once Fidelity, Vanguard, and Schwab got involved in the 1990sWhy DAFs are a regulatory free pass — immediate tax deduction, no payout requirement, near-total anonymity, and a clean way to erase capital gains before an IPOThe real cost to everyone else: the Institute for Policy Studies estimate that every $1 in a DAF carries a $0.74 taxpayer subsidyWhat's hiding behind the headline 20% payout rate, and why the median account tells a different storyHow DonorsTrust and Donors Capital Fund moved $479 million in untraceable money into the anti-climate movement — and how Fidelity, Schwab, and Vanguard routed $171 million to the groups behind Project 2025Why the IPO wave won't just mint a few whales but half a million minnows — the median Fidelity DAF holds just $23,500, which makes this everyone's problemFour ways DAF capital is uniquely suited to climate: catalytic first-loss equity, concessionary debt for first-of-a-kind projects, pooled funds, and funding the public goods markets ignoreOnly about 3% of US charitable giving goes to all environmental causes combined. Religious causes got 28% in 2020. The tool takes no sides — but right now, only one side is using it at scale.Read the full essay at climatemoney.substack.com.Warning: this could radicalize you.

Fundraising is relationship building, but too many donor conversations feel disconnected, repetitive, and transactional. Enter the “Donor Waltz”. A three-step sequence of conversations designed to move donors from discovery to alignment, to meaningful commitment. Donors experience philanthropy emotionally, not operationally, and organizations that fail to find the emotional journey risk losing momentum, trust, and transformational opportunities. When fundraisers learn to sequence conversations, donor relationships begin to feel less like a checklist and more like a partnership.

About this episodeThe UK tax system can often feel like a one-way street. However, Gift Aid tax relief is one area where the system can help generosity work harder. In this episode, we explain how Gift Aid tax relief works, who can use it, what donors need to check, and why charities must keep accurate records. We also cover higher and additional rate taxpayer relief, donor benefit rules, corporate donations, and the Gift Aid Small Donations Scheme. This episode is useful if you run a charity, support a community amateur sports club, donate to good causes, or advise clients who make charitable donations.What you'll learn in this episodeWhat Gift Aid tax relief means in practical termsHow charities can claim extra value on eligible donationsWhy donors must have paid enough UK taxHow higher and additional rate taxpayers may claim extra reliefWhy donor benefit rules can affect whether Gift Aid appliesHow corporate donations are treated differentlyHow the Gift Aid Small Donations Scheme helps with small cash and contactless giftsWhat is Gift Aid tax relief?Gift Aid tax relief is a partnership between the donor, the charity, and the government. When an eligible UK taxpayer makes a donation, the charity can claim back the basic rate tax linked to that gift. In practical terms, for every £1 donated, the charity can receive £1.25. That gives the charity an extra 25% boost without the donor paying more.“For every £1 you give, the charity receives £1.25.”Why Gift Aid mattersGift Aid tax relief helps more money reach the causes people care about. That can be especially important for small charities, local causes, community groups, and community amateur sports clubs. However, Gift Aid is not automatic. Donors need to make a valid declaration, charities need to keep records, and both sides need to understand the basic rules. If you want more background on the wider impact of charitable giving, our episode on Gift Aid and Charitable Giving: Understanding the Impact is a helpful next step.What donors need to checkThe donor must be a UK taxpayer. Gift Aid is a refund of tax already paid, so the donor must have paid enough income tax or capital gains tax to cover the amount the charity will reclaim. If the donor has not paid enough tax, HMRC may ask the donor to pay the difference. That is why ticking the Gift Aid box should not be treated as a casual formality.Before making a Gift Aid declarationCheck that you are a UK taxpayerCheck that you have paid enough income tax or capital gains taxRemember that the rule applies across all charities you supportKeep records of donations if you need to claim relief personallyHigher and additional rate taxpayer reliefGift Aid can also benefit higher and additional rate taxpayers. The charity still claims the basic rate tax top-up, while the donor may be able to claim personal tax relief on the difference between their tax rate and the basic rate. For example, if a donor gives £100, the charity treats the gross donation as £125. A higher rate taxpayer may then be able to claim extra relief on that grossed-up amount. For many donors, the main motivation is generosity. Even so, the tax relief can be a useful additional benefit, especially when completing a tax return or reviewing personal tax planning. Our episode on Tax effective giving on charities looks further at this area.What charities need to doCharities need to make sure their Gift Aid claims are accurate, supported, and properly recorded. That means keeping valid declarations, checking eligibility, and making sure claims are made within the correct time limits. Good records are not just admin. They protect the charity, support HMRC compliance, and help ensure donations are claimed correctly.Gift Aid record-keeping checklistKeep donor declarations safelyRecord the donor name and address where neededTrack donation amounts and datesCheck whether a donor received a benefit in returnMake claims within the relevant deadlineKeep records organised for review and reportingDonor benefits and Gift Aid limitsGift Aid can be affected if the donor receives something significant in return. A small benefit may be fine, but high-value benefits can stop the donation from qualifying. This matters for charity dinners, events, membership benefits, discounts, gifts, and sponsorship arrangements. Charities should check the donor benefit rules before claiming.Corporate donations are differentGift Aid tax relief does not apply to company donations in the same way as individual donations. If a company donates £100 to charity, the charity receives £100. The charity cannot claim the additional Gift Aid top-up. However, the company may be able to treat the donation as a deduction when calculating corporation tax profits.Gift Aid Small Donations SchemeThe Gift Aid Small Donations Scheme helps charities claim a top-up on small donations where collecting a written declaration is difficult. This can be useful for collection buckets, community events, religious centres, local halls, small fundraising activities, and contactless giving. Small donations can still work harder when the charity understands the scheme and keeps the right records.When the scheme may helpSmall cash donationsSmall contactless donationsCommunity fundraising eventsReligious or community building collectionsLocal charity activities where declarations are hard to collectGift Aid tax relief and wider tax planningGift Aid sits within a wider tax and organisation structure conversation. Donors need to understand their own tax position, while charities and community organisations need to understand what they can claim and what records they must keep. If you are running a mission-led organisation with a different structure, our episode on Community Interest Companies and Tax: What CICs Need to Know explains a separate but related tax position.Practical steps for donors and charitiesFor donorsCheck your UK taxpayer status before ticking the Gift Aid boxKeep records if you are claiming higher or additional rate reliefTell charities if your tax position changesReview past donations if you may have missed reliefFor charities and CASCsMake sure your organisation is registered with HMRC where requiredCollect valid Gift Aid declarationsCheck donor benefit rules before claimingKeep clear donation recordsReview whether the Gift Aid Small Donations Scheme appliesRelated episodesGift Aid and Charitable Giving: Understanding the ImpactTax effective giving on charitiesCommunity Interest Companies and Tax: What CICs Need to KnowKey takeawayGift Aid tax relief helps generosity go further. For charities and community amateur sports clubs, it can increase the value of eligible donations. For donors, it can provide extra relief when the tax position allows it. The key is to check eligibility, keep records, understand the rules, and claim correctly. Plan it, Do it, Profit.Share this episodeShare this episode: Listen on Apple Podcasts

Indiana football's national title glow keeps getting stranger — and bigger — as Curt Cignetti becomes the face of EA Sports College Football. But behind the celebration is a bigger question: how long can NIL donor funding and college sports' current business model really last?On this episode of CrimsonCast, Galen Clavio and Scott Caulfield dig into NIL donor fatigue, why schools keep asking fans for more money, and how college athletics is still trying to operate like something other than the business it has become. Then they shift to Cignetti's video game cover moment, why it matters for Indiana football recruiting and perception, and the surreal experience of seeing IU football treated like a national power. The show wraps with Pacers roster questions, the Zubac trade, the lost draft pick, the Knicks' rise, Jalen Brunson, and what team-building in modern sports might tell us about Indiana football's championship model.Subscribe and follow CrimsonCast for smart, direct conversation on Indiana Hoosiers football, IU basketball, the Pacers, NIL, and the changing world of college sports.

Building a Donor Pipeline BEFORE You need It! Here's a truth most development directors don't want to admit out loud: Your donor base is quietly shrinking. Not because you're doing bad work. Not because your mission isn't compelling. Not because your fundraising team isn't trying. But because donors are human. They retire. They relocate. They redirect their giving. They get distracted by grandkids. They fall in love with a new cause. And sometimes, without warning, they just have a change of heart before writing that six-figure check you were sure was coming. If you are not consistently identifying and cultivating new donors, you are not building stability, you're borrowing time. Savvy fundraisers understand this. They are not paranoid. They are practical. They know fundraising is part math, part psychology, and part ongoing treasure hunt. And they know something else: The organizations that prospect consistently don't panic. The ones that don't . . . eventually do. Let's talk about how to build a donor pipeline that is deep, resilient, and slightly unstoppable.

In this week's episode, we have a deeper discussion of why the proposal that R Menashe of Iliya was trying to create something similar to the Aguda of the 1920's is deeply flawed. We examine the very basic differences between the two time periods, and how this affects how we understand what his idea really was. We similarly look at how the basic pattern of R Menashe life and how he travelled a lot played a part in his ideas.  We also discuss the phenomenon of political parties and how the contemporary system has amplified the basic flaw of political parties.  This week's episode is sponsored by Binyomin and Orli Cohenbash in honor of my daughter Racheli's wedding to Ari Sherman  You can now help Rabbi Wittenstien  create new and original content via our non profit  'The Jewish History and Tanach Foundation'.  Your support and partnership is greatly appreciated.

A rundown of some of the fantastic offers as we raise money on Wednesday, June 17th. Jordana Green joins Vineeta for a look ahead to this important day!

Your ministry is stretched thin, your data is scattered across disconnected tools, and your donor acquisition budget may be reaching the wrong people. In this session from the Digital Ministry Conference, Nathan Hill of AVID walks through a real-world case study showing how Bible League Canada decreased their cost to acquire a new donor by 20% — and grew new donors by 25% — by unifying their tech stack and adding AI-powered automation.Key TakeawaysNew donors are worth far more than year one. Based on data from 43 ministries representing approximately $1.4 billion in annual revenue, the average first-year donor gives $81 — but that number jumps to $214 in year two and $322 in year three and beyond.Siloed data is silently costing you. Most ministries rely on their CRM as their primary donor data source, but critical giving history, engagement data, and transaction records live in disconnected tools — leading to stale prospecting lists and wasted ad spend.A unified tech stack changes everything. Bible League Canada brought all of their donor data under one roof using AVID as their fundraising operating system, enabling a more complete "golden record" of their donors — and dramatically improving the accuracy of their lookalike audience targeting on Meta.Automation is the multiplier. It's not enough to unify data once — the speed at which audiences are refreshed directly impacts how effective your acquisition campaigns are. Nathan explains how automated suppression (removing existing donors from acquisition targeting) alone eliminates significant waste.The long-term kingdom impact is the real number. A sample organization Nathan shared was on pace for $7.4 million in donor revenue this year. By investing in an acquisition growth strategy, their three-year revenue outlook jumped from $7.1 million to $10.5 million — a 47% increase over three years.AVID vs. an Enterprise CRM. Nathan noted that when compared to one of the most sophisticated marketing CRMs available for this use case, AVID led to a 143% increase in donor acquisition by comparison.If you're ready to stop wasting acquisition budget on the wrong audiences and start building a donor pipeline that compounds over time, this episode is your starting point. Nathan breaks down a practical, proven framework that any ministry fundraising team can begin applying today — no massive tech overhaul required.ResourcesNathan Hill – Vice President of Marketing, AVID | avidai.comConnect With Nathan – https://www.linkedin.com/in/nathan-peter-hill/Bible League Canada Case Study – Referenced throughout the session | https://bibleleague.ca/AVID Fundraising Scorecard – Predictive analytics tool | https://avidai.com/components/scorecard/Digital Ministry Conference – digitalministryconference.comFive Q | Launch AI – https://aiofferings.fiveq.com/

In 2017, 96-year-old Mary Armington took a trip from her home in Florida to Astoria to visit her son, Dr. William Armington. As a radiologist at the time at Columbia Memorial Hospital, Dr. Armington had diagnosed cancer in hundreds of patients, some of whom had delayed getting care because of financial hardships.    So Mary decided to help by donating $50,000 to start a fund for cancer patients in the North Coast region to pay for expenses like transportation, utility bills, lodging and rent. Nine years later, the Arm-in-Arm Fund has nearly tripled in size and has given grants to dozens of patients at the CMH-OHSU Knight Cancer Collaborative in Astoria.    This year, the Columbia Memorial Hospital Foundation increased to $2,000 the grant money a team of social workers can award to an individual to help them, for example, replace a broken refrigerator or repair a home furnace. Money from the fund has also been used to provide Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday meals for patients and their families. Joining us to discuss the fund and its impact are Mary Armington and William Armington, who is now retired and has also donated to the fund. Mark Kujala, foundation director of Columbia Memorial Hospital also joins us.  

In this episode, we investigate the documented links between Tommy Robinson, the English Defence League, pro-Israel activists, international funding networks, and the wider counter-jihad movement. We examine the role of Rebel Media, the influence of figures such as Ezra Levant and Robert Shillman, the EDL's attempts to build alliances with Jewish and pro-Israel organizations, and the political debates surrounding those relationships.Links⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠email:beyondtheparadigm@yahoo.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Beyond the Paradigm - YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠instagram.com/paradigm1979⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠twitter.com/paradigm_79⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠(1) Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support The Show⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/BeyondTheParadigm⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠buymeacoffee.com/beyondthep5

Interlochen Center for the Arts is moving to demolish Green Lake Lodge, a building originally funded by Jeffrey Epstein and once named for him before the school stripped his name from campus after learning of his 2009 criminal conviction. Epstein had attended Interlochen's summer camp in 1967 and later donated to the institution from 1990 to 2003. The lodge, built along Green Lake, was used to house donors and, at times, Epstein himself. Interlochen says it previously investigated his activities on campus after his first conviction and again after his 2019 arrest, claiming it found no evidence that Epstein committed crimes at the school. Still, the building has become impossible for the institution to separate from Epstein's legacy, and Interlochen's board says demolishing it is now the appropriate step.The renewed scrutiny comes after recently released Justice Department files and prior reporting showed Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell met alone with at least one student at the lodge, an encounter the woman later described as the beginning of grooming behavior. Interlochen says it does not allow unsupervised donor-student visits, but that claim only raises more questions about how Epstein and Maxwell ended up alone with a student in the first place. Michigan lawmakers have signaled plans to investigate Epstein's activities at Interlochen, while the school says it has cooperated with investigators and will respond to oversight bodies as needed. The demolition may remove the physical structure, but it does not erase the larger issue: Epstein was embedded deeply enough in elite institutions that even a children's arts camp in northern Michigan became part of the long, ugly paper trail.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Interlochen to demolish lodge tied to Jeffrey Epstein | News | abc12.com

The speaker dives into the recent Texas primary results, where John Cornyn's loss has left many wondering what's next for the Republican party. The conversation also touches on the rise of Islamist influence in American politics, with a focus on Thomas Massie and his connections to anti-Israel causes. The speaker expresses concern over the increasing normalization of anti-Semitic rhetoric and the potential consequences for American society. The episode explores the intersection of politics and economics, with a critical look at the policies of those who claim to be fighting for the people. The speaker questions the motives of individuals like Graham Platner, who advocate for increased taxes on the wealthy, but seem to be more interested in protecting their own interests. This leads to a broader discussion on the dangers of identity politics and the manipulation of societal issues for personal gain. The conversation also delves into the world of social media influencers, where individuals like Hassan Piker are using their platforms to spread Marxist ideologies and anti-Semitic rhetoric. The speaker highlights the hypocrisy of these individuals, who claim to be fighting for social justice while promoting divisive and hateful ideologies. If you're concerned about the direction of our country and the influence of Islamist and Marxist ideologies, tune in to this episode to hear the speaker's take on the recent Texas primary results and the implications for American society.

Reflections from host Sarah Olivieri ... The One Decision That Quiets All The Others There is a moment most executive directors know. A funder is hinting at money for a new initiative. A long-time staff member is pushing for an expansion. A community partner is asking whether you can serve a new population. Your inbox holds three more open questions just like these. Everyone is well-intentioned. Every option has a case. You close your laptop on a Friday and feel the weight of having to decide. This is the kind of tired most nonprofit leaders carry. It is not the tired of doing too much work. It is the tired of having too many decisions with nothing underneath them to settle the question. The truth is, you are not overwhelmed because there are too many options. You are overwhelmed because nothing in your organization is sharp enough to make the right option obvious. The Conversation That Sharpened This For Me I've been thinking a lot about this lately. I recently had a conversation about exactly this with Dr. Tracy Baynes, the founder of STEP, a college access and leadership program in Arizona that has been running for 21 years. It sharpened how I think about what actually creates calm in a nonprofit leader's day. The ideas weren't new to me. What was new was hearing them explained as the source of clarity that lets a 21-year-old organization keep running without drama. What Tracy Has That Most Leaders Don't Tracy can tell you in one sentence what STEP exists to produce. She can tell you who STEP is for. She can tell you how she would know, years from now, whether STEP worked for any given student. (I've written more on the "how would you know" piece in 3 Tips For Measuring Your Impact.) She is not carrying every decision alone. She is holding every decision up against one clear outcome and letting the outcome answer. That is the difference. Most nonprofit leaders are running organizations that have a mission and a set of programs and a vague sense of impact. Tracy is running an organization that has a specific outcome. A mission is a direction. An outcome is a destination. A direction lets you go almost anywhere. A destination tells you which turn to take. When you have a specific outcome, every "should we?" question has an answer already built into it. This is the upstream decision. Make this one well, and the next dozen get easier. Program Decisions Stop Being Agonizing Right now, when someone proposes a new program, you weigh it on instinct, politics, funder interest, and gut feeling. You hold it up against nothing in particular. Which is why the decision is hard. When you have a specific outcome, you hold the proposed program up against it and ask one question: does this move us closer to producing that outcome, or does it not? Most ideas don't survive that question. The ones that do, you can move on quickly. The ones that don't, you can decline without guilt, without long deliberation, and without losing sleep. The "should we add this?" noise quiets because there is finally something underneath the question that knows the answer. (For more on why this discipline is harder than it sounds, see Focus Is Not Optional.) Without a specific outcome, every new program idea is a debate. With a specific outcome, most ideas answer themselves in under a minute. The weight you carry from program decisions is mostly the weight of deciding without an anchor. Funding Conversations Stop Being Abstract Funders are not avoiding your organization because they don't care. They are avoiding it because they cannot tell exactly what they would be funding. A mission statement is not a thing they can invest in. A list of programs is not a thing they can invest in. "Impact" is not a thing they can invest in. A specific outcome is. When you can sit across from a funder and say, "We exist to produce this specific change in the lives of these specific people, and here is how we know whether we are," the conversation changes. They can finally see what their money would do. They can finally compare what you do to what other organizations do. They can finally say yes for real reasons instead of soft ones. Funders cannot fund what they cannot see clearly. A specific outcome is the only thing they can actually compare and decide on. When the outcome is clear, you stop having to convince and start having to show. The leaders I know who have made this shift tell me the same thing. Funding conversations went from exhausting to almost mechanical. The fundraising skill didn't change. What changed was that there was finally something concrete on the table. Donors Recognize Themselves In Your Work And Stay There is a kind of donor relationship that runs on charm. You build rapport. You send beautiful appeals. You hope. They give once, sometimes twice, then drift. There is another kind that runs on recognition. The donor reads what you do, sees their own values in the specifics, and knows immediately that they want to be part of it. Those donors stay for decades. The recognition only works if there is something specific to recognize. A mission is too broad to land. A list of programs is too generic to mean anything to one person. A specific outcome is sharp enough that the right people see themselves in it instantly, and the wrong people quietly self-select out. Donor recognition is built on specifics, not on mission statements. The right donors find you faster when the outcome is clear. The wrong donors stop costing you energy because they never start. This is what Tracy means when she talks about finding people whose lives are enhanced by getting to give. She is not selling STEP. She is making STEP visible enough that the right people walk toward it. (More on this in Building Strong Donor Relationships.) What Shifts When The Anchor Is In Place Here is what changes for the leader who actually does this work. The decisions stop piling up in your head. The staff conversations get more productive. The funder pitches get easier to write. The donors get easier to find and keep. The programs that don't belong stop demanding attention because they no longer have a way to make the case. The mental weight of constant decision-making drops. The work starts to feel like it is moving in one direction instead of in five. You stop being the only person who can hold the whole organization in your head, because the outcome holds it for you. This isn't more discipline. It is less, because you only need discipline in one place: protecting the clarity of the outcome itself. A Closing Note This isn't about doing less work. It's about doing work that knows where it's going. A specific outcome is not a planning exercise. It is the upstream decision that quiets every downstream one. Make it well, and the next year stops feeling like a series of impossible choices. It starts feeling like a series of obvious ones. That is what Tracy has at 21 years. That is what you can have too.

Newly released Justice Department files show Jeffrey Epstein received extraordinary white-glove treatment from Mount Sinai, turning one of New York's most prestigious medical systems into yet another elite institution where his money, access, and relationships appeared to open doors that ordinary people would never get near. The records describe Epstein arranging medical care not only for himself, but for women and associates in his orbit, including referrals, appointments, house calls, and procedures coordinated through well-connected doctors. One of the key figures was Dr. Eva Andersson-Dubin, Epstein's former girlfriend and a major Mount Sinai figure tied to the Dubin Breast Center, whose communications with Epstein showed how deeply he remained connected to the institution years after his 2008 conviction. The files also point to plastic surgeon Dr. Jess Ting, who allegedly provided treatment outside normal hospital settings, including a reported incident where a woman injured on Epstein's island was stitched up at Epstein's Manhattan home.The larger issue is not simply that Epstein knew doctors or donated money; it is that the documents suggest he was able to bend elite medical access around himself like everything else in his life. Mount Sinai has condemned Epstein and said it is reviewing its past ties to him, while doctors named in the files have denied knowing about his criminal conduct. But the paper trail is still ugly: Epstein donated hundreds of thousands of dollars, sought special access, moved women through medical channels, and remained close enough to influential professionals that even after becoming a registered sex offender, he could still operate with the comfort of a man who believed institutions would accommodate him. The Mount Sinai material fits the broader Epstein pattern perfectly — money, prestige, favors, and proximity creating an ecosystem where powerful people treated a predator less like a liability and more like a client worth keeping happy.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Prestigious hospital gave Epstein 24/7 access, house calls and other favors: report - Raw Story

Interlochen Center for the Arts is moving to demolish Green Lake Lodge, a building originally funded by Jeffrey Epstein and once named for him before the school stripped his name from campus after learning of his 2009 criminal conviction. Epstein had attended Interlochen's summer camp in 1967 and later donated to the institution from 1990 to 2003. The lodge, built along Green Lake, was used to house donors and, at times, Epstein himself. Interlochen says it previously investigated his activities on campus after his first conviction and again after his 2019 arrest, claiming it found no evidence that Epstein committed crimes at the school. Still, the building has become impossible for the institution to separate from Epstein's legacy, and Interlochen's board says demolishing it is now the appropriate step.The renewed scrutiny comes after recently released Justice Department files and prior reporting showed Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell met alone with at least one student at the lodge, an encounter the woman later described as the beginning of grooming behavior. Interlochen says it does not allow unsupervised donor-student visits, but that claim only raises more questions about how Epstein and Maxwell ended up alone with a student in the first place. Michigan lawmakers have signaled plans to investigate Epstein's activities at Interlochen, while the school says it has cooperated with investigators and will respond to oversight bodies as needed. The demolition may remove the physical structure, but it does not erase the larger issue: Epstein was embedded deeply enough in elite institutions that even a children's arts camp in northern Michigan became part of the long, ugly paper trail.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Interlochen to demolish lodge tied to Jeffrey Epstein | News | abc12.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In this week's episode we take a closer look at the Noda B'Yehuda's famed statement about not saying the Kabbalistic formula before mitzvas. We similarly closely examine if he is referring to Beshtian Chassidim in this teshuva. We also discuss his relationship with R Gershon Kitover and what we can learn from this.  We also continue out discussion about Pesher Davar and why there is so much debate about what R Menashe of Iliya meant when he wrote it. What are the basic suggestions out there? Is it possible he was looking to create something similar to Agudas Yisroel or the 1920s?  You can now help Rabbi Wittenstien  create new and original content via our non profit  'The Jewish History and Tanach Foundation'.  Your support and partnership is greatly appreciated.

In this episode, we unpack Washington Attorney General Nick Brown's lawsuit against Albertsons, Safeway, and Haggen over allegedly deceptive “buy one, get one free” promotions, where the state claims the grocers quietly inflated prices before running BOGO sales and then dropped them afterward, generating nearly $20 million in alleged overcharges across more than 3 million transactions. The case highlights intensifying regulatory scrutiny around pricing transparency, discount advertising, and consumer perception at a time when rising grocery costs are already under the microscope—and serves as a warning that regulators are increasingly willing to challenge whether “free” really means free. Hosted by Simone Roach. Based on a blog post by Gonzalo E. Mon.

When Omar Morillo talks about wealth management for entrepreneurs, he focuses on one core idea: reducing lifetime tax drag across income, investments, business operations, and eventual liquidity events. The earlier owners start planning, the more options they have. In this episode of the DealQuest Podcast, Corey Kupfer sits down with Omar Morillo, founder of Imperio Wealth Advisors, to discuss what sophisticated pre-exit planning actually looks like for business owners preparing for major liquidity events. Omar breaks down the three levels of tax-aware investing, from simple ETF investing to direct indexing and long-short strategies designed to generate capital loss carryforwards for future gains. He explains why many of the best planning opportunities disappear once an LOI is on the table and why advanced preparation matters. The conversation also explores estate planning, donor advised funds, PPLI structures, and the risks of “flavor-of-the-month” tax strategies that are often oversold to entrepreneurs. Corey and Omar also discuss the emotional side of exits, including why many founders struggle with identity and anxiety after selling the business that defined their lives for years. This episode is packed with practical insights for entrepreneurs thinking about exits, recapitalizations, succession planning, or long-term wealth strategy. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN Why reducing lifetime tax drag requires planning years before an exit The differences between ETF investing, direct indexing, and long-short strategies How carry-forward capital losses may help offset future gains Why estate planning and liquidity planning matter before a sale The risks and realities of structures like PPLI and QSBS Why founders often struggle emotionally after successful exits OMAR'S JOURNEY Omar Morillo originally planned to become an airline pilot before eventually finding his way into wealth management. Today, he is the founder of Imperio Wealth Advisors, where he advises entrepreneurs and families on tax strategy, liquidity planning, investments, and long-term wealth management. He approaches advisory work through what he calls an “agnostic lens,” focusing on the right strategy for the client rather than attachment to any single product or structure.

In this week's episode, we take a deep look at who R Menashe of Iliya was referring to when he divided the Rabbis into three groups. Is the reference to Kabalists only mean the Chassidic Rabbis? Is there any reference to the students of the Vilna Gaon here? We continue to look at the content of the Pesher Davar. What makes understanding the content of this pamphlet difficult to grasp? How common was it in the 1700's for Rabbis to be aware and interested in the latest scientific literature? You can now help Rabbi Wittenstien  create new and original content via our non profit  'The Jewish History and Tanach Foundation'.  Your support and partnership is greatly appreciated.

This isn't your kid's old YDC. On this episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael sits down with Sarah Fishel, Executive Director of the YDC, to talk about how the organization is rethinking what a youth center can be — and how a year in their new building at 302 South Loudoun has opened up the possibilities.

In this Walk + Talk episode, Aaron Brewer invites you to move your body while engaging with the Word of God and reflecting on what it truly means to love others well. Lace up your shoes and bring your whole self—body, mind, and spirit—as Aaron keeps you company on your walk, run, or workout. This is more than a podcast to listen to. It's one to experience. A Question to Reflect On As you move today, consider this: Can someone belong with you before they believe like you? How welcome would an unbeliever feel around you? Would they sense openness? Curiosity? Compassion? Or would they feel pressure to perform, prove, or pretend? Belonging Before Belief Jesus consistently created space for people before they fully understood who He was. He saw people. He walked with people. He welcomed people. Today's conversation invites us to examine how we carry ourselves as followers of Christ—and whether our lives reflect the kind of welcome Jesus offered. As You Move Stay open. Stay honest. Notice what rises up in you as you reflect. Where might God be expanding your compassion? Where is He inviting you to love more like Him? Keep moving. Keep listening. And remember: sometimes belonging is the very thing that opens the door to belief. New to REVING the Word? Press play and take this episode on a walk, run, hike, or to the gym. You pick how you want to move as you work out your body, and work in the good news!
