Nada Todorovich's journey from feeling like the "weird and different" kid in central Victoria to becoming a passionate community builder is both heartwarming and inspiring. Growing up as the child of Bosnian immigrants, she experienced the challenge of straddling two cultures - from her mother's homemade crepes that she was initially embarrassed about to her father's eclectic collection of animals. This rich cultural foundation, though sometimes isolating in her Anglo community, would later become the cornerstone of her life's work. The tragic loss of her parents in a sudden accident became an unexpected catalyst for creating something meaningful. Nada channeled her grief into establishing Dragonfly, a cafe and social enterprise that honours her family's legacy of hospitality and connection. As she beautifully puts it, "My mum's love language is food," and this philosophy permeates every aspect of her business. What makes Dragonfly special is its role as a genuine community hub. From hosting political information sessions to offering traditional craft workshops like bobbin lace making and knitting groups, Nada has created something rare in today's world - a space for authentic dialogue and learning. She's particularly passionate about addressing social justice issues, believing that connection with each other is the antidote to the divisiveness we see rising in society. Nada's commitment to sustainability runs deep, reflecting her belief that "the planet is the most important thing" and that we should be better custodians of our environment. Through Dragonfly, she works with local suppliers who share her values, creating a network of like-minded businesses focused on reducing waste and supporting their community. Her vision extends beyond just running a sustainable business - she's actively planning tree-planting initiatives and continuing to use her platform to foster understanding and compassion in an increasingly complex world.

CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW SCHEDULE 9-12-25 GOOD EVENING. THE SHOW BEGINS IN GAZA WITH THE GOAL OF DEHAMASIFICATION.. FIRST HOUR 9-915 John Bolton criticizes the "two-state solution" as a dead idea post-October 7th, proposing a "three-state solution" where Gaza returns to Egypt or is divided, and the West Bank is managed by Israel and Jordan. He emphasizes "De-Hamasification" as crucial and humanitarian, arguing that Arab nations, particularly Egypt, resist taking Gazan refugees due to fears of importing Hamas/Muslim Brotherhood influence. Bolton believes this is necessary for a stable future in the region. 915-930 Lorenzo Fiori shares a traditional Milanese recipe for "rice with saffron" (risotto alla Milanese), often served at La Scalagala dinners, describing it as delicious and creamy with parmesan cheese. He recommends pairing it with Italian wines like Barolo or Barbaresco from Piedmont. Fiori also discusses Italy's economic concerns regarding political instability in France and Germany, and the ongoing international interest in NATO events. 930-945 Gene Marks describes a mixed economic picture, noting that a national "slowdown" isn't universally felt, with many small businesses thriving. He highlights challenges like rising healthcare costs, spurring interest in self-insurance and health reimbursement arrangements. Marks discusses AI's impact on the workforce, specifically reducing sales and tech roles in large companies like Salesforce, but predicts a surge in demand for skilled trades not easily replaced by AI. 945-1000 CONTINUED Gene Marks describes a mixed economic picture, noting that a national "slowdown" isn't universally felt, with many small businesses thriving.

SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Jim McTague reports from Lancaster County, PA, challenging the narrative of an economic slowdown. He shares examples of busy local businesses like "Phil the painter" who has never been busier. McTague observes a trend of housing price cuts, but notes vibrant local tourism and events. He highlights the significant economic boost from two new data centers, creating 600-1000 construction jobs and 150 permanent positions, bringing the county into the 21st century. 1015-1030 Max Meizlish, a senior research analyst, highlights how Chinese money laundering networks are fueling America's fentanyl epidemic by cleaning drug proceeds for Mexican cartels. These networks also enable wealthy Chinese nationals to bypass capital control 1030-1045 Richard Epstein discusses federal district court judges defying presidential orders, attributing it to a breakdown of trust and the president's "robust view of executive power" that disregards established procedures and precedents. He explains that judges may engage in "passive resistance" or "cheating in self-defense" when they perceive the president acting for political reasons or abusing power, such as in budget cuts or dismissals. Epstein also links this distrust to gerrymandering and increasing political polarization1045-1100 Richard Epstein discusses federal district court judges defying presidential orders, attributing it to a breakdown of trust and the president's "robust view of executive power" that disregards established procedures and precedents.

Epstein also links this distrust to gerrymandering and increasing political polarization. THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 Henry Sokolski addresses the critical challenge of the US power grid meeting AI data center demands, which are projected to require gigawatt-scale facilities and vastly increased electricity by 2030. He questions who bears the risk and cost of this buildout, advocating for AI companies to fund their own power generation. Sokolski also discusses the debate around nuclear power as a solution and Iran's suspect nuclear weapons program, highlighting the complexities of snapback sanctions and accounting for uranium. 1115-1130 CONTINUED Henry Sokolski addresses the critical challenge of the US power grid meeting AI data center demands, which are projected to require gigawatt-scale facilities and vastly increased electricity by 2030.

Sokolski also discusses the debate around nuclear power as a solution and Iran's suspect nuclear weapons program, highlighting the complexities of snapback sanctions and accounting for uranium.1130-1145 Professor John Cochrane of the Hoover Institution attributes current inflation to the fiscal theory of the price level. He explains that massive government spending, such as the $5 trillion borrowed during COVID-19 with $3 trillion printed by the Fed, combined with no credible plan for repayment, directly causes inflation. Cochrane differentiates this from monetarism, noting that quantitative easing (printing money and taking back bonds) did not lead to inflation. He emphasizes that the 2022 inflation spike was a loss of confidence in the government's ability to pay its debts. Successful disinflations, he argues, require a combination of monetary, fiscal, and microeconomic reforms. 1145-1200 Professor John Cochrane of the Hoover Institution attributes current inflation to the fiscal theory of the price level.

He notes the president's decisiveness, courtesy to subordinates, and long workdays, with constant activity in the Oval Office. Black contrasts this informal style with Roosevelt and Nixon, suggesting it's a "three-ring circus" that nonetheless works due to Trump's methods. He also touches on Canadian perceptions, acknowledging Trump's work ethic despite political differences.EV1215-1230 Brandon Weichert highlights the immense power demands of AI and AGI data centers, requiring gigawatts of electricity and facing significant regulatory hurdles. He discusses the potential weaponization of AI, noting human nature's tendency to weaponize new technologies. Weichert shares personal experiences with AI tools like Grok, Gemini, and Claude, including instances of AI "diversion" rather than hallucination. He emphasizes the need to master this technology, as the substantial investment ensures its permanence.1230-1245 Bob Zimmerman details SpaceX's expanding Starlink reach, including a $17 billion deal to acquire Echostar's FCCspectrum licenses, ensuring Echostar's survival by partnering rather than competing. He also reports on Starship Super Heavy's 10th test flight, where metal thermal tiles failed but significant lessons were learned, with plans for an 11th flight and version three development. NASA's Dragonfly mission to Titan is vastly over budget and behind schedule, risking failure. China's technological exports, including drones and EVs, pose surveillance risks due to government control.1245-100 AM CONTINUED Bob Zimmerman details SpaceX's expanding Starlink reach, including a $17 billion deal to acquire Echostar's FCCspectrum licenses, ensuring Echostar's survival by partnering rather than competing.

Some call it the Dragonfly's Dream, I once received this prophecy as the Dragon's Song.. In Human Design we call it the transition between the Cross of Planning to the Cross of the Sleeping Phoenix. You may hear it referred to as the mutation of the 55th Gene Key, or the beginning of the new human..All of these point to a transition that we are currently moving into as humanity approaches 2027. And that's not to say that this particular year will be the one that changes everything, but more so- this is a light being shined on the fact that we are living in unprecedented times. And that the world we were born into will look very different then when we choose to leave. In this episode- I'm weaving the prophecies together; what I've heard from these systems, and what I've intuited myself about where we are going as a species. We will no longer be held up by the background frequency of big systemic programs- now each individual will be tasked (has already been tasked) with their own divine mission and individuation journey to wake ourselves up inside of the old program and become witness to the new human that is awakening through our unique bodies.I hope you enjoy this episode- it felt like the exact right time to share it with you all, and I'd love to hear if it resonates with you.

In this episode, we talk to Tracey Holmes. The TV trailblazer has spent more than three decades covering Australian sport and dissecting some of the biggest sporting events on the planet, bearing witness to the rise and rise of women's sport, which has had to bust through the walls of misogyny and male chauvinism. Her new book, The Eye of the Dragonfly is part memoir, part sporting manifesto, and details her nomadic childhood as the offspring of surfer parents, her start in television, her amusing first meeting with partner and fellow TV journalist Stan Grant, and how racism towards their relationship briefly unbuckled their careers. Holmes, a natural raconteur, describes her meetings and interviews with sporting giants like Pele and Cathy Freeman, and how her trademark calm has helped get her through some challenging moments. Hosting this conversation is deputy editor Greg Callaghan.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to The Chopping Block – where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. In this episode, things get personal as Haseeb and Tom break their silence on the DOJ's shocking threat to criminally charge Dragonfly over its early investment in Tornado Cash. With Roman Storm's trial nearing its conclusion, the crew unpacks the unprecedented legal risks facing developers, investors, and privacy protocols and what it means for the future of crypto in the U.S. As Ethereum celebrates its 10th anniversary, a storm brews in court: Samourai Wallet founders plead guilty, the DOJ backpedals on Dragonfly, and Roman Storm faces decades behind bars for writing code. Robert recounts his short-lived microcap M&A adventure (aka the Liquor Store Fiasco), and the gang reacts to a dramatic regulatory about-face from the SEC's new crypto-friendly regime. Is financial privacy now a crime? Will U.S. law catch up with crypto code? And what happens when TradFi tries to CT a public company? This episode hits hard — and nothing is off limits.

In this episode of Bits + Bips, we examine how rising global trade tensions could impact macro conditions, the Fed's next move, and market stability. We also explore how investors should position themselves with inflation cooling and an uncertain policy path at the Fed. We then look at what's happening on the crypto side: volume shifting to tokenized public equities, the growing number of corporate stablecoin plans, and whether the promise of tokenization is matched by meaningful traction. Joining hosts Joe McCann, Ram Ahluwalia, and Steve Ehrlich is Rob Hadick of Dragonfly, who shares his perspective on product-market fit in crypto, shifting market structure, and where real adoption may emerge.

The show kicks off with a fiery rant dissecting viral EBT haul videos, exploring how dependence and entitlement culture have shifted since 2020. The discussion unpacks the corporations lobbying to keep junk food on government assistance programs and the moral questions around flaunting taxpayer-funded lifestyles on social media. From there, the hosts shift gears into reflections on deadly Texas flash floods past and present, including first-hand memories of summer camp survival training and a look at shocking flood footage that struck on nearly the same date decades apart. The conversation moves into weather modification, aluminum contamination, and how geoengineering may be fueling health crises, with clips from whistleblowers and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. offering stark warnings. To lighten the mood, the group shares stories about dragonflies eating mosquitoes, the hidden hazards of Florida wildlife, and ends with a viral bumblebee song that has everyone cracking up. With passionate debate, personal anecdotes, and a little absurdity, this episode balances accountability and humor in equal measure.
