Step into a conversation that feels less like an interview and more like opening a hidden door inside yourself.In this episode, I sit down with Audrey Hope, the renowned “Soul Healer” and Doctor of Divinity at Seasons in Malibu, whose work has quietly transformed the lives of celebrities, CEOs, and individuals searching for something deeper than traditional recovery.For over 15 years, Audrey has blended spiritual intuition with trauma and addiction expertise, creating a healing approach that goes far beyond talk therapy. Her philosophy is simple but striking: “Heal the soul, heal the addiction.” And in this conversation, she challenges everything we think we know about recovery.We explore why insight alone doesn't always equal healing, how someone can spend years in therapy yet still feel stuck, and what it actually means to “solve the riddle of the soul.” Audrey shares her belief that true transformation doesn't live in the intellect, it lives in the unseen layers beneath it, where pain, purpose, and identity quietly shape our lives.If you've ever asked yourself “Why am I really suffering?” or wondered if freedom is actually possible, this conversation offers a perspective that is both grounding and expansive.This isn't about fixing yourself. It's about understanding yourself in a way that finally sets you free.Today's episode is brought to you by ⁠Seasons Treatment Center ⁠in Malibu. For over 18 years, Seasons in Malibu has been a sanctuary for individuals seeking to reclaim their lives from addiction and mental health challenges. Our story began with a simple but profound vision: To create a luxurious sanctuary for individuals struggling with addiction or mental health issues, where they can receive the finest, evidence-based treatment in the world.Built on Compassion, Driven by ExcellenceWhat started as a small number of compassionate professionals has grown into one of the nation's most respected luxury treatment centers. But growth has never meant losing sight of what matters most—the individual engaging with our therapists, one-on-one, taking the courageous first step toward healing.From the beginning, we understood that truly transformative treatment requires more than clinical protocols. It demands a personalized approach, led by the most qualified professionals, in an environment that nurtures the whole person. That's why we've assembled a team where every primary therapist holds a Doctorate in Psychology - a distinction virtually unmatched in our field.Check out ⁠Seasons Malibu⁠ online or call 1-866-314-5160 for more information.Connect with Seasons on ⁠Instagram⁠DM me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Message me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Listen AD FREE & workout with me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Connect with me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email me chasingheroine@gmail.comSee you next week!

The guys take on three debates for this episode! First, Rob in WY is trying to get his arms around all his cars - what to sell and how to do it? Joel in MN is in nearly the same predicament, and wants something different. Then, Jonathan in Texas wants a cheap manual car to teach his daughter the art of stick shift, but also use it to commute. Audience questions on social media ask who is the third buyer for massively depreciated EVs, can you import forbidden fruit car parts from Europe, and which is better to drive - the Mazda CX-5 or CX-50?

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Monica Cornitcher. Entrepreneurial journey, the inspiration behind Medase Cocktails, and the realities of launching, funding, and scaling a premium nonalcoholic spirits brand in a highly competitive market. Purpose of the Conversation The purpose of the episode is to: Educate aspiring entrepreneurs on how to build a differentiated consumer brand Demonstrate the importance of storytelling, market clarity, and operational discipline Highlight the growth of the nonalcoholic / zero‑proof beverage movement Inspire founders—especially founders of color—to own their niche, seek capital strategically, and scale intentionally. Key Takeaways 1. Business Built from Personal Need and Purpose Medase Cocktails was co‑founded by Monica and her lifelong friend during her friend’s battle with breast cancer, a time when alcohol was no longer an option—but celebration still mattered. The brand was created to allow people to celebrate authentically without alcohol It carries emotional depth rooted in friendship, gratitude, and loss Monica continues the mission after her co‑founder passed away in 2024 Lesson: Purpose-driven businesses create deeper emotional connection and long-term brand equity. 2. Differentiation Is Everything Monica deliberately rejected the “sparkling water with flavor” model common in nonalcoholic drinks. Her differentiators include: Authentic cocktail taste (Old Fashioned, Margarita, Moscow Mule) Organic juices, not artificial flavors Bold packaging that stands out on shelves Drinks designed to smell, taste, and feel like real cocktails Lesson: Competing on authenticity—not cost—is how you carve out market share in crowded spaces. 3. Brand Names and Stories Matter The name “Medase” means “thank you” and reflects gratitude, friendship, and emotional support. Monica emphasizes: Every flavor name, color, and product decision has a story A strong brand narrative creates curiosity, loyalty, and investor interest Lesson: People invest in brands they feel—emotionally, not just intellectually. 4. Venture Capital Is Not Just About Numbers While financials matter, Monica stresses that VCs also invest in founders and stories. What helped her secure venture capital: A compelling personal story Relevant founder skill sets (M&A, law, operations) Clear understanding of the market opportunity Lesson: Early-stage funding often depends on who you are and why you’re building, not just revenue. 5. Research, Planning, and Discipline Before Launch Unlike many food startups, Medase did not begin in a kitchen. They: Conducted a feasibility study Built a formal business plan Worked with a Black female food scientist Set strict personal funding limits before seeking capital Lesson: Preparation reduces risk and builds long-term sustainability. 6. Scaling Requires Operational Maturity As sales increased—especially on Amazon—Monica emphasized the need to move from “hustle mode” to operational excellence. Key scaling principles: Understand unit economics Track ROI for events and activations Adjust pricing as volume increases Build strategy across marketing, operations, and distribution Lesson: Hustle starts the business; operations grow it. 7. Niche First, Expansion Later Medase does not try to be “everything to everyone.” Core customers include: People seeking a break from alcohol Health-conscious consumers Black men looking for alcohol replacements Consumers wanting cocktail taste without hangovers Lesson: Strong niches create loyal advocates who fuel organic growth. 8. Smart Distribution Strategy Rather than rushing into retail, Monica prioritized direct-to-consumer channels: Amazon (top-performing channel) Brand website TikTok Shop Only after 6–7 months of traction did retail expansion become viable. Lesson: Control your margins and demand before entering expensive retail environments. Memorable Quotes “I wanted an authentic cocktail without compromise.” “Everything we do has a story behind it.” “Sometimes it’s not about the financials—it’s about the founder and the story.” “Don’t be everything to everybody. Find your market and stick with your market.” “Hustle starts the business, but operations give you scale.” “If it tastes too much like alcohol and you gave me a one-star review—thank you. That means I did my job.” Overall Message This episode is a real-world entrepreneurial blueprint showing how clarity of vision, emotional authenticity, disciplined planning, and niche focus can turn a personal idea into a scalable national brand. Monica Cornitcher exemplifies the modern founder:visionary, data-aware, emotionally intelligent, and unapologetically authentic. #SHMS #BEST #STRAWSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Phil Rosen goes Inside The ICE House to explain how Middle East tensions are driving short-term volatility and testing investor confidence. He outlines why history suggests geopolitical shocks and oil price swings are typically temporary, often rewarding investors who stay the course. Rosen argues that selling on fear has historically underperformed holding through uncertainty, even as markets rotate beneath the surface. He closes by examining how artificial intelligence is reshaping the labor market, widening the gap between experienced workers and younger job seekers entering the workforce.

Welcome to HALO Talks NYC! In this episode, host Pete Moore sits down with Ashok Gupta, Co-Founder and CEO of TheraNow, and talks about the future of telehealth and its impact on physical therapy. From humble beginnings and unique inspirations to the challenges of building a specialized tech-enabled service, Gupta discusses launching and scaling TheraNow alongside his wife and Co-Founder. Together, they discuss bridging gaps in healthcare access with the power of virtual care, how technology is transforming patient assessment, and the innovative solutions they've brought to large hospital systems across the country. Whether you're curious about entrepreneurship in health tech, the state of remote physical therapy, or how to foster seamless patient care in a changing landscape, this episode is packed with invaluable insights and inspiration. On the reality of tech in healthcare Gupta states, "I do not try to disguise ourselves as a tech company, when at the end of the day, what we offer is a service which is our physical therapists, our clinicians, speech therapists, occupational therapists are providing care to the patient. That is what we are actually billing and getting them paid for." Key themes discussed Telehealth physical therapy origins and its necessity Access to care and healthcare gaps Technology and computer vision in remote PT Partnership with hospitals and staffing solutions Therapist onboarding, credentialing innovations Quality of care and regulatory reimbursement A Few Key Takeaways 1. Telehealth Physical Therapy Innovation: Ashok shared how TheraNow was founded to address the issue of greater access to physical therapy care, especially for those living far from clinics. By leveraging telehealth and building a proprietary technology platform, TheraNow can extend quality care remotely, removing barriers tied to geography and physical clinic capacity. 00:41 2. Advanced Use of Computer Vision: Rather than relying on hardware sensors, TheraNow uses computer vision and AI via a regular webcam to assess patient movements, allowing therapists to evaluate functional motion and prescribe therapy without requiring specialized equipment. This improves accessibility and simplicity for patients. 09:25 3. Flexible and Scalable Therapist Network: TheraNow has configured its network of 400+ therapists to flexibly meet state-by-state requirements, employing both W2 and 1099 models. The business uses technology not only in care delivery but also to vastly speed up hiring and onboarding: what once took 14 days is now accomplished in 12 hours thanks to an asynchronous software platform. 12:18 4. Consistency and Quality of Care: Patients matched with a TheraNow therapist can expect to continue with the same clinician throughout their episode of care, which addresses a common pitfall in traditional physical therapy settings. The company exclusively employs highly trained therapists (Doctor or Masters of Physical Therapy) to maintain quality, and internal clinical data shows outcomes are as good as, or better than, in-person care. 18:28. 5. Bootstrap Success Story and Hospital Focus: TheraNow was started by Ashok and his wife (also a Doctor of Physical Therapy) and was largely bootstrapped or funded by family and friends. The company grew to profitability and now serves hospitals as its primary customers, filling a crucial gap for large systems with more patients than physical locations or clinicians can handle. 20:36 Resources:  Ashok Gupta: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-ashok-gupta-dpt-2b5a7023   Theranow: https://theranow.com  Integrity Square: https://www.integritysq.com Prospect Wizard: https://www.theprospectwizard.com Promotion Vault: https://www.promotionvault.com HigherDose: https://www.higherdose.com

Today's Headlines: Everything JD Vance touched this weekend turned to dust. Viktor Orban — MAGA's model autocrat and Putin's most reliable EU ally — was swept out of power in Hungary's election, with opposition leader Peter Magyar's Tisza party winning 135 of 199 parliamentary seats. Vance had flown to Budapest days earlier to campaign for Orban. Then Vance's Iran peace talks in Pakistan collapsed without a deal, and he left. Within hours Trump was threatening to blockade the Strait of Hormuz and bomb Iran's water treatment facilities, while Marco Rubio watched UFC with Trump and Joe Rogan in Miami. Iran said "if you fight, we fight." Meanwhile, the economy is quietly getting ugly. GDP growth in Q4 2025 came in at a 0.5% annualized rate. Inflation jumped to 3.3% in March — the highest in two years, up from 2.4% in February — driven largely by gas prices. Pawn shops across the country are reporting a surge in loan demand and customers selling valuables outright, with both major publicly traded pawn operators trading at five-year highs. The White House ballroom, meanwhile, will be built with $37 million in foreign steel donated by a Luxembourg company — right as Trump cuts their tariff rates in half. Trump has allegedly promised mass pardons to anyone who came "within 200 feet of the Oval." The White House called it a joke. In other news, A former Army employee was arrested and indicted for leaking accounts of sexual harassment and gender discrimination at Fort Bragg to a journalist — Kash Patel celebrated her arrest on Twitter as a warning to "would-be leakers." Anthropic is releasing its powerful new Mythos model — which can find security vulnerabilities human developers can't — to a coalition of 40 companies anyway. The FTC is suing three states for trying to regulate prediction markets like Kalshi and Polymarket using anti-gambling laws. And finally, Eric Swalwell dropped out of California's governor's race after CNN and the SF Chronicle reported misconduct allegations from four women, including two incidents of sexual assault. His staff quit, 45 former staffers signed a letter calling for his resignation, and the Manhattan DA opened an investigation. The House is reportedly considering a vote to expel him alongside Republican Tony Gonzalez.  Resources/Articles mentioned in this episode:  Time: Hungary's Viktor Orbán, Icon of the Far Right, Loses Election.

Obedience can feel heavy—but what if we’ve misunderstood it? In this episode of Take Heart, Cory Wing walks through what Scripture actually teaches: obedience is not how we earn God’s love—it’s the evidence that we already have it. Rooted in passages like Ephesians 2, John 14, and Ezekiel 36, this episode shows how grace produces real, lasting change. If you’re struggling with sin, discouraged in your walk, or wondering how obedience fits into the Christian life, this will ground and encourage you. Obedience is not a burden placed on you—it’s the fruit of a heart transformed by Christ.

Driven from the United States, the Mormons journeyed West to build a new society in the desert- one that would challenge the political, economic, and moral norms of the nation they had left behind. But when the United States lay claim to the Utah Territory, a tense standoff developed between the two sides...Our guest today is Prof. Peter Coviello, University of Illinois, who studies American literature and queer theory. His book, Make Yourselves Gods: Mormons and the Unfinished Business of American Secularism was published in 2019 and was a finalist for the John Whitmer Historical Association award for best history book.Edited by Aidan Lonergan.

What if the biggest thing holding you back in business… isn't strategy—but your identity? In this powerful episode of 365 Driven, Tony Whatley sits down with returning guest Princeton Clark for a deep, unfiltered conversation about what truly drives success in entrepreneurship—and why most people are focusing on the wrong things. Princeton Clark is a coach, speaker, and thought leader in self-mastery, emotional intelligence, and identity transformation. With years of experience in mentoring and personal development, he challenges conventional thinking around "coaching" and instead positions himself as a guide—someone who has lived the lessons, faced adversity, and now helps others break through the mental barriers holding them back. Tony and Princeton dive into the concept of identity as the foundation for growth—arguing that your results in business and life are a direct reflection of how you see yourself. They unpack why so many entrepreneurs stay stuck despite having access to endless information, and how distractions, fear, and lack of self-awareness keep people from taking meaningful action. This episode also explores the evolution of the coaching industry, the difference between consuming content vs. applying it, and why discipline and community are more important than ever in today's noisy, digital world. You'll also hear real talk about mindset, accountability, leadership, and how to stop outsourcing your power—whether in business or in life. If you're an entrepreneur ready to level up, cut through distractions, and step into the next version of yourself, this episode will challenge you to think differently—and act boldly. Key highlights: • Why your identity—not your strategy—is the real driver of success • The dangerous trap of consuming content without taking action • The truth about coaching: experience and results matter more than titles • How to reframe fear as a signal for growth, not a reason to stop • Why building the next version of yourself is more powerful than chasing long-term goals • The role of discipline and consistency in creating real momentum • The difference between group learning vs. personalized coaching (and why it matters) • Why learning from someone just ahead of you accelerates growth faster than chasing big names • How to protect your focus in a world full of distractions and noise • The importance of community, accountability, and environment in entrepreneurship • Why waiting until you feel "ready" is the fastest way to stay stuck • How to take ownership of your life and stop outsourcing your power Connect with Princeton: Website: evolvedmastery.com Instagram: @princetonclark Connect with Tony Whatley: Website: 365driven.com Instagram: @365driven Facebook: 365 Driven

Dave answers questions from listeners on loneliness, comparison, the cycle of getting motivated then falling off, and the truth behind iron sharpens iron. A raw conversation on what it actually takes to stay in the fight, build the right circle, and keep showing up—even when it gets tough.

Companies today are rushing to build an AI strategy, but they often forget to create a human strategy to match it. As technology takes over daily tasks, keeping the human element alive at work is a huge challenge for business leaders. In this episode, Kathie Patterson, Chief Human Resources Officer at Ally, joins us to explore how to balance new AI tools with human emotional intelligence. We uncover how to roll out AI to employees for better efficiency while making sure a human is always in the loop for the moments that truly matter. Kathie explains why leaders need strong EQ and training in crucial conversations to handle conflicts, since frustrating moments like getting stuck in dead-end phone trees prove that people still crave real human connection during stressful times. We also explore balancing workplace empathy with business accountability, offering real support like mental health and fertility benefits without treating adult employees like children. Finally, we look at how to adapt to generational shifts, like Gen Z entering the workplace, and the risks of using AI for HR tasks like hiring and promotions. CHROs will find this episode essential for building a future-ready culture that embraces both high-tech tools and deep human connection.

AI in healthcare raises urgent questions about bias, privacy, and power. Safiya U. Noble, Ph.D., examines how AI systems can reproduce social and racial inequities when they rely on incomplete data, hidden assumptions, and proxies such as healthcare spending. Noble points to problems in search engines, image generation, facial recognition, and medical algorithms, including cases where systems mislabel darker skin, fail more often on Black women, or favor white patients over sicker Black patients. She also highlights the risks of turning sensitive public and patient data over to large technology companies. Rather than treating AI as a neutral solution, Noble emphasizes the need for human judgment, community participation, stronger data protections, and smaller expert models with local control so healthcare decisions better reflect people's real lives and social context.

The provided sources detail a series of interviews with historian Serhii Plokhy regarding the deep-seated origins and escalation of the Russo-Ukrainian War. He argues that Vladimir Putin operates as a dictator driven by 19th-century imperial ideologies, viewing Ukrainians and Russians as a single people to justify his aggression. The discussion highlights how the 2014 annexation of Crimea and the subsequent conflict in the Donbas were met with a Western policy of appeasement similar to that of the 1930s. This lack of a forceful initial response, combined with NATO's military unreadiness and the failure of the Minsk agreements, allegedly emboldened the Kremlin to pursue a full-scale invasion in 2022. However, the sources note that Putin severely miscalculated by assuming Ukraine remained as divided as it was in 2014, failing to realize that his previous actions had actually unified the Ukrainian nation. Ultimately, the text explores how intelligence failures, historical delusions, and shifting political landscapes transformed a regional struggle into a global catastrophe.1855 CRIMEA

1. Anne Stevenson-Yang recounts China's transition from a poverty-stricken Maoist culture to an export-driven economy. Deng Xiaoping initiated this shift to acquire hard currency, establishing Special Economic Zones like Shenzhen. This era birthed an elite class of well-connected officials who began separating capital from traditional ministries. (1)1903

If you've been paying attention to how AI is changing the freelance landscape, you've noticed something: the types of help clients need are shifting. Fast. A year ago, most conversations were about one thing: how do I keep getting hired when AI can produce a first draft (even it it's low-quality) in seconds? That's a fair question. But it's the wrong place to stop. Because underneath that conversation, something bigger is happening. Clients are recognizing they need different kinds of help. Many don't even know how to articulate what they need yet. They just know they're stuck. And the data backs this up. According to McKinsey's "State of Organizations 2026" report, 88 percent of organizations are now deploying AI in at least some part of their business. Nearly 90 percent of leaders are championing adoption as a core strategic requirement. Yet 86 percent of those same leaders admit their organizations aren't prepared to implement AI into day-to-day workflows. So leadership wants AI deployed yesterday. But teams don't have a plan to do it well. That's where you come in. In this episode, I walk through the four broad ways clients are buying AI-related help right now, so you can figure out where you fit and what you might want to offer. What You'll Learn Why the demand for AI help goes far beyond "content creation" — and what clients are actually buying now The two dimensions that shape every AI-related client need (clarity vs. capability, guidance vs. systems) The four categories of demand: strategic advisory, training and enablement, proof-of-concept builds, and implementation work Why writers are naturally suited for this kind of work, even without a technical background Why you should develop two or three of these offers, not all four How to match your strengths and interests to the categories that fit you best Key Ideas & Takeaways 1. The Opportunity Is Real, and It's Driven from the Top. Leadership across industries is mandating AI adoption, but most teams don't have a clear path to get there. Writers with systems thinking skills are well positioned to bridge that gap. 2. Two Gaps, Two Dimensions. Clients either need clarity (they don't know what to do) or capability (they can't do it themselves). Layered on top of that, some need guidance (a thinking partner) and others need systems (actual workflows and tools). Those two dimensions create four categories of demand. 3. Strategic Advisory. The client needs clarity and guidance. They're overwhelmed, don't know where to start, and need someone to assess their situation and build a plan. You're being hired for judgment, not output. This looks like paid assessments, strategy sprints, or advisory retainers. 4. Training and Enablement. The client needs capability and guidance. Their team is using AI tools inconsistently, with no cohesive approach or standardized workflows. You teach them how to prompt well, build repeatable processes, and review AI output effectively. 5. Proof-of-Concept Builds. The client needs clarity and systems. They've heard about AI-powered workflows but need to see one working before they invest further. You build something small, contained, and tangible that proves the concept and opens the door to bigger engagements. 6. Implementation Work. The client needs capabilities and systems. They know what they want; they need someone to build it. Workflows, automations, prompt libraries, templates, and integrations. This is the highest-volume category and tends to be sticky once you're embedded. 7. Pick Two or Three, Not All Four. Each category requires a different skill set, buyer type, and sales conversation. Trying to do all four leads to muddled messaging and thin delivery. Match your offers to your strengths, your interests, and the clients you already attract. Action Steps Look at the four categories and rank them by where you have the most credibility, energy, and natural pull Think about your last few client conversations and ask: which type of help were they really asking for? Pick two or three categories to focus on and start paying attention to the signals in your prospect conversations.

Where do you do your best thinking? It's probably not where you spend most of your time working. In fact, the environment you choose can quietly influence how clearly you think, how creative you are, and how well you perform. There's a simple shift that can make a noticeable difference.

Even people who don't consider themselves “ritualistic” rely on them every day. But why? Michael Norton, professor at Harvard Business School and author of The Ritual Effect (https://amzn.to/3U65Zpn), explains that rituals do far more than add structure—they can reduce anxiety, strengthen relationships, and give meaning to everyday experiences.

We're just wired that way. That's not the end of the story...   But Brad had a mentor that wouldn't let go of him until he could see that drivenness is ruining his life.   Not the fact that he is driven (Brad didn't give that up), but the fact that he felt he wasn't enough unless he achieved X, Y, and Z. Brad's marriage journey is pretty powerful and directly relates.   If Brad was more committed to his work than his wife -- she would feel betrayed. As many wives do who have this dynamic in their marriages.   Many out there sacrifice the possibility of peace and joy in their lives because they're too busy to notice the life Christ offers them.   God is sufficient.   God rested.   God delights in us -- you can delight in this world, and you can delight in those He intends for you to delight, your spouse and your children.   Let's abide in Him and learn from Brad as he shares these refreshing insights.   Find out more about Brad and his work with marriages in churches at gracemarriage.com   Blessings, Belah   PS - Ready to take the next step in healing your marriage?

“The AI era has changed the speed and complexity of cyber risk,” says Andrew Gilman, Chief Marketing Officer and Head of Strategic Partnerships at NWN. “Organizations don't just need more tools—they need outcomes.” @Doug Green In this Technology Reseller News podcast, I spoke with Andrew Gilman of NWN.ai about the company's newly announced cybersecurity offering—an AI-enabled managed security operations suite designed to simplify and operationalize modern security environments. The launch reflects a growing gap in the market. As Gilman explains, security platforms have advanced rapidly, but operations have not kept pace. Organizations are now overwhelmed by alerts, dashboards, and fragmented tools—especially across hybrid environments and distributed workforces. The result is a disconnect between visibility and action. NWN's answer is a fully managed, AI-enabled cybersecurity model built on its Experience Management Platform (EMP). The goal is to unify security operations into a single control plane, combining automation, observability, and human expertise to deliver measurable outcomes. The offering includes a comprehensive set of services: Managed Detection and Response (MDR) for 24×7 threat protection Offensive security, including continuous penetration testing Ransomware protection services designed for hybrid environments Strategic consulting, including vCISO capabilities A key differentiator is how NWN integrates leading security platforms into a managed service model. Expanded partnerships with Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, and Arctic Wolf bring best-of-breed technologies into a unified operational framework—reducing tool sprawl while improving response times. Gilman emphasized that AI is not just increasing threats—it's also changing expectations. Security teams must now move faster, operate more efficiently, and deliver clearer outcomes to the business. That requires a shift from managing tools to managing results. The EMP platform plays a central role here, acting as the operational backbone. It aggregates telemetry, automates workflows, and provides a standardized view of security operations—helping organizations move from reactive monitoring to proactive defense. For IT leaders feeling overwhelmed, Gilman's advice is clear: focus on simplification, integration, and accountability. The future of cybersecurity isn't about adding more layers—it's about making the entire system work together. This launch positions NWN to help organizations modernize security operations at a time when both risk and complexity are accelerating. Learn more at www.nwn.ai  

My guest on today's special episode is Joel Holsinger, Co-head of Ares' $50 billion Alternative Credit strategy. In addition to his long and stellar career in the credit markets, Joel spearheaded the launch of Promote Giving, a philanthropic initiative similar to Warren Buffett and Bill Gates' Giving Pledge, designed for alternative asset managers. Our conversation covers Joel's path to engaging in philanthropy, starting from humble beginnings to now making grants of $5 million in 2025 through Ares and launching Promote Giving in October. The proposition of Promote Giving is simple – GPs commit up to 5% of their promote on at least one fund to give to a charity of their choice. With ten signatories and more than $35 billion in AUM pledged to participate already, Promote Giving is quickly growing the movement to managers across asset classes. It's the Giving Pledge applied to investment firms, and I can't imagine a better use of this space than to spread the word.

TRIGGER WARNING: pregnancy loss and sexual assault 4:50:00 - 15:60:00Jennifer Gimenez had the kind of life people dream about. Named one of Maxim's 100 Hottest Women on Earth, the youngest model to grace the cover of American Elle, and starring in films like Blow, Charlie's Angels, and The Sweetest Thing - on the outside, it looked like pure glamour.But behind the camera, a very different story was unfolding.In this episode, Jennifer shares how she fell in love with cocaine at the height of her modeling career, chasing a high that quietly unraveled everything. What started as part of the lifestyle led her into a cycle of addiction, brief moments of sobriety sparked by an accidental NA meeting, and relapses while still showing up on major film sets. Without a real foundation in recovery, the pattern kept repeating.Eventually, everything caught up with her—leading to treatment with Dr. Drew and a breaking point that included a failed suicide attempt.On January 15, 2005, Jennifer made a decision that would change her life forever.Now sober for two decades, she dedicates her life to helping others find recovery alongside her husband, Tim Ryan.This conversation pulls back the curtain on the illusion of “having it all” and explores what it really takes to build a life that looks as good on the inside as it does on the outside.Today's episode is brought to you by Seasons Treatment Center in Malibu. For over 18 years, Seasons in Malibu has been a sanctuary for individuals seeking to reclaim their lives from addiction and mental health challenges. Our story began with a simple but profound vision: To create a luxurious sanctuary for individuals struggling with addiction or mental health issues, where they can receive the finest, evidence-based treatment in the world.Built on Compassion, Driven by ExcellenceWhat started as a small number of compassionate professionals has grown into one of the nation's most respected luxury treatment centers. But growth has never meant losing sight of what matters most—the individual engaging with our therapists, one-on-one, taking the courageous first step toward healing.From the beginning, we understood that truly transformative treatment requires more than clinical protocols. It demands a personalized approach, led by the most qualified professionals, in an environment that nurtures the whole person. That's why we've assembled a team where every primary therapist holds a Doctorate in Psychology—a distinction virtually unmatched in our field.Check out Seasons Malibu online or call 1-866-314-5160 for more information.Connect with Seasons on InstagramDM me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Message me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Listen AD FREE & workout with me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Connect with me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email me chasingheroine@gmail.comSee you next week!

What can Christian men learn from Navy SEALs? In this powerful episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, former Navy SEAL Garrett Unclebach and Nick Surface unpack the lessons Garrett learned from the SEAL Teams — and why many of those principles apply directly to faith, purpose, and Christian leadership.Garrett shares how serving alongside some of the most disciplined and mission-focused individuals in the world challenged his perspective on what it means to live with purpose and pursue faith seriously. While the SEAL Teams are not a Christian organization, Garrett discovered that many of the principles that create elite warriors mirror biblical truths about Christian men, leadership, and discipleship.This episode explores four major lessons Christian men can learn from Navy SEAL culture:A Mission-Focused Mindset - Navy SEALs don't need motivation — they're already committed to the mission. In contrast, many Christians struggle with consistency despite having the greatest mission in the world. This episode challenges Christian men to live with greater urgency and purpose.Standards and Obedience - Elite teams operate with strict standards and accountability. Garrett explains why faith requires discipline, and how obedience to God's Word produces real fruit in leadership and life.3. Discipleship Through Mission - SEAL Teams build deep relationships through shared purpose. Similarly, Christian men are called to disciple others and pursue growth together — not just friendship, but transformation.4. Church as a Training Center - Garrett challenges the idea of church as a “country club” and calls for a return to equipping Christian men for impact, leadership, and advancing God's kingdom.This episode is a powerful call for Christian men to:Develop stronger faithLive with greater purposeEmbrace leadershipRaise their standardsTrain for impactBecause when faith meets purpose, and Christian men embrace disciplined leadership, the impact can change families, communities, and the world. This is more than a conversation about Navy SEALs. It's a call for Christian men to step into their faith, their purpose, and the leadership God designed them for.Get With NuWave Home Lenders By Clicking HereJoin a group of likeminded Impossible Life listeners in our FREE Skool community by clicking here.Get the Purpose Playbook by clicking hereGet the FREE Basic Discipline Training 30 Day Program by clicking hereJoin us in Mindset Mastery by clicking hereIf you're a man that wants real accountability and training to be a leader, click here.Level up your nutrition with IDLife by clicking hereGET IN TOUCHSocial Media - @theimpossiblelifeEmail - info@theimpossible.life

Greg LaBrie, Vice President of Technology Solutions at Worldcom Exchange Inc. (WEI), joined Technology Reseller News Publisher Doug Green to discuss how AI and next-generation connectivity—anchored by WEI Connect and Starlink—are reshaping enterprise networking. WEI, a long-standing value-added reseller founded in 1989, has evolved into a provider of integrated IT and connectivity solutions. With WEI Connect, the company is bringing enterprise-grade structure, visibility, and support to emerging technologies like Starlink, transforming them into fully managed, business-ready services. LaBrie described AI in telecom as the foundation for self-healing, autonomous networks driven by telemetry and real-time decision-making. “For us, AI means having networks that are self-healing and autonomous—collecting data, making decisions, and keeping users connected without them even knowing it's happening,” he said. Starlink plays a central role in this vision, using AI to dynamically select satellites and ground connections to maintain performance. WEI enhances this capability by aggregating data through APIs, applying predictive analytics, and integrating SD-WAN intelligence to determine the best available connection—whether satellite, fiber, or 5G—on a per-application basis. The result is an outcome-based network where connectivity is seamless and resilient. Users experience uninterrupted service—even during live sessions—as traffic is automatically routed across the optimal path. This approach not only improves uptime but also enables new use cases, including real-time telemetry collection in remote or hard-to-reach environments. Looking ahead, WEI sees continued advances in AI-driven automation, with increasing amounts of data enabling more predictive and autonomous network management. As enterprise reliance on connectivity grows, LaBrie emphasized that organizations will benefit from fewer outages, improved performance, and simplified support through partners that unify multiple technologies into a single, managed experience.

In this episode of Making Risk Flow: Exploring the Ecosystem, host Juan de Castro sits down with Nicolas Zerbib, Co-President and CIO at Stone Point Capital, to unpack how AI is reshaping, not replacing, the insurance brokerage model. Nick explains why retention and complexity remain the strongest defenses against disruption, and how brokers can use AI to improve efficiency without losing their edge. From reducing operating costs to enhancing onboarding and preserving institutional knowledge, AI emerges as a powerful enabler rather than a threat. The conversation also highlights the structural advantages of the broker channel, including regulatory accountability and E&O risk, which AI cannot easily replicate. For brokers and investors alike, this episode offers a clear, tactical playbook for thriving in a rapidly evolving insurance landscape.Fan Mail: Got a challenge digitizing your intake?

Why does God allow war in our lives? In this powerful episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Nick Surface and Garrett Unclebach unpack a hard but essential truth: Christian men are not called to comfort — they are called to war. Not physical war, but the daily battle against passivity, sin, and the forces that pull men away from their faith, purpose, and leadership calling.Many Christians expect faith to make life easier. But Scripture paints a different picture. From the Israelites being trained in warfare to David declaring that God "trains my hands for war," the Bible consistently shows that God uses battle to refine, strengthen, and prepare His people.Nick and Garrett break down why war is necessary for Christian men:War refines your characterWar strengthens your faithWar develops leadershipWar prepares you for purposeWar teaches dependence on GodThey also discuss the real danger facing men today: passivity. Passivity is the quiet compromise that allows sin, weakness, and poor leadership to take hold. Instead of confronting challenges, many men hope problems will disappear — but that passivity only leads to greater battles later.This episode challenges Christian men to:Stop expecting comfortEmbrace struggle as growthFight sin aggressivelyDevelop leadership through adversityWalk boldly in faith and purposeBecause the truth is — great Christian men are not built in comfort. They are built in war. And when you understand that God is using the battle to refine you, strengthen you, and prepare you, you stop running from the fight and start stepping into your purpose. This episode is a powerful call for Christian men to grow in faith, leadership, and purpose — and to embrace the war that shapes them into the men God created them to be.Get With NuWave Home Lenders By Clicking HereJoin a group of likeminded Impossible Life listeners in our FREE Skool community by clicking here.Get the Purpose Playbook by clicking hereGet the FREE Basic Discipline Training 30 Day Program by clicking hereJoin us in Mindset Mastery by clicking hereIf you're a man that wants real accountability and training to be a leader, click here.Level up your nutrition with IDLife by clicking hereGET IN TOUCHSocial Media - @theimpossiblelifeEmail - info@theimpossible.life

Our guest is Silvia Mella who is the owner of Sorate in New York. Sorate is a unique Japanese green tea company, which sells premium Japanese tea through online and operates beautiful tea houses in Manhattan. Japanese tea has been gaining attention in the global markets, fueled by rising health consciousness and growing interest in Japanese food. According to the Japanese government, Japanese tea exports in 2025 reached record highs, and the key driving factor was Matcha. The U.S. accounts for approximately 40% of total export volume, 80% of which was Matcha. And it is mostly used for iced or hot lattes and smoothies.But in Japan, people don't drink Matcha on a daily basis. There are many other types of delicately produced, highly flavorful Japanese tea. Silvia knows the profoundness of Japanese tea culture very well, and is passionate about introducing its charm to a global audience. In this episode, we will discuss how Silvia got into Japanese tea, how she convinced a traditional tea farm to work with her, the types of tea she recommends you try, the tea ceremony sessions that she offers with a Japanese tea master, and much, much more!!!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Has Porsche lost the magic, or is the future faster and more focused than ever? This week, from an MOT station at VAS Works, Lee and Andy sit down to dissect a month of intensive driving across six of the most important models in the Porsche back catalogue and current lineup.We start with the "Holy Grail" of the 90s: the 964 Carrera RS. How does its seam-welded chassis and manual rack compare to the technological powerhouse that is the new 992.2 GTS T-Hybrid? We also dive deep into the GT3 lineage, revisiting the 996.2 GT3 — the car that many believe represents the peak of the water-cooled Mezger era.Then, we turn our attention to the mid-engine masters. With the 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 and the 718 GT4 both in the mix, we ask if the newer cars have finally eclipsed the legendary 987.2 Cayman R. Is the R's hydraulic steering still the benchmark for feel, or does the GT4's chassis precision win the day?In this episode, we discuss:The 964 RS vs. 992.2 GTS: A 35-year gap bridged. Does the T-Hybrid system deliver the same visceral thrill as a blueprinted air-cooled flat-six?GT3 Purity: Why the 996.2 GT3 is still the "sweet spot" for many purists in 2026.Mid-Engine Battle: 718 GT4 vs. Cayman R. We settle the debate on which mid-engine Porsche offers the most "Driven Not Hidden" rewards.The GTS 4.0 Factor: Why the 718 GTS 4.0 might actually be the best all-rounder Porsche has ever built.Future Values: Which of these six icons is the smartest place for your money right now?The 9WERKS Testing Lineup:Porsche 964 Carrera RS: The analog benchmark.Porsche 996.2 GT3: The Mezger-powered icon.Porsche 992.2 GTS: The T-Hybrid future.Porsche 718 GT4: Track-bred precision.Porsche 718 Cayman GTS 4.0: The daily-driver hero.Porsche 987.2 Cayman R: The lightweight legend.Find your dream Porsche on the 9WERKS Marketplace: 9werks.co.uk/marketplace Thanks to our friends heritagepartscentre.com for sponsoring this podcast, get up to 10% off your basket by entering the code ‘9WERKS10' at the checkout on heritagepartscentre.com‘9WERKS Radio' @9werks.radio is your dedicated Porsche and car podcast, taking you closer than ever to the world's finest sports cars and the culture and history behind them.The show is brought to you by 9werks.co.uk, the innovative online platform for Porsche enthusiasts.
