Robin Dreeke joins Hidden Killers Live to decode what Kouri Richins' behavior after Eric's death reveals through his FBI deception-detection lens—the 911 call, the book tour, and the letter allegedly scripting witness testimony from jail.Fourteen months between Eric's death and Kouri's arrest. During that window, she maintained public innocence through media interviews, investigator conversations, and a children's book promotional tour featuring Eric as an angel watching over their sons. Robin's "Tempo Tells" framework is built to read exactly this: the verbal and nonverbal deviations that reveal performance under stress.The 911 call is where analysis begins. "He's not breathing, he's cold, he doesn't have a pulse." Robin explains the tempo patterns, detail calibration, and authenticity markers investigators are trained to identify. Emergency calls are high-pressure environments where control is hardest to maintain.The children's book raises different questions. Are You With Me? launched in March 2023 with television appearances—one year after Eric's death, two months before Kouri's arrest. What does choosing public grief performance at that scale reveal about confidence in deception? And what compounding risks does extended exposure create?Then came the "Walk the Dog" letter. Found in Kouri's jail cell, prosecutors allege it outlines specific false testimony for her mother and brother. Robin breaks down what continued manipulation from behind bars reveals about someone's relationship with truth—and how juries typically respond to that kind of evidence.Live conversation.

Twelve jurors will watch Kouri Richins for five weeks starting February 23rd. FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke provides the framework for reading what they'll see—the tells that separate genuine emotion from performance, and where sustained deception starts to break.Today's focus: Kouri's behavior after Eric's death. The 911 call where she reported him unresponsive. The media interviews during the investigation. The children's book Are You With Me?—featuring Eric as an angel-winged father—promoted on television in March 2023, two months before her arrest. And the "Walk the Dog" letter prosecutors found in her jail cell, allegedly scripting false testimony for her mother and brother.Robin's "Tempo Tells" framework examines exactly this kind of evidence. What verbal patterns in a 911 call reveal authenticity versus performance? What does choosing to perform grief publicly—through a book tour, through television appearances—signal about someone's confidence in their own constructed narrative? And critically, what happens to deception architecture under three years of sustained legal pressure?The 911 call is clinical material for investigators. Robin explains what they listen for: tempo deviations, detail calibration, emotional markers. Emergency situations are high-stress environments where performance is difficult to maintain.The jail letter changes the analysis. When someone continues orchestrating narrative from behind bars—allegedly scripting specific testimony for family members—what does that reveal about their relationship with truth? Robin breaks down how that kind of evidence typically impacts jurors.Five weeks of testimony begin this Sunday. Understanding how to read behavior in that courtroom matters.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In a blow for President Donald Trump's tariff agenda, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Feb. 20 that the Trump administration exceeded its authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act in a 6-3 decision. In other words, they deemed that the sweeping tariffs he issued on Liberation Day against nearly every U.S. trading partner were unlawful. Now, many people in the retail industry, whose companies have been impacted by these tariffs, are left wondering what will happen next in the days and weeks to come. In this emergency episode of the Modern Retail Podcast, executive editor Anna Hensel, special projects editor Melissa Daniels and senior reporter Gabriela Barkho break down what the Supreme Court ruling means for brands and retailers. They get into: Their initial reactions to the news that the Supreme Court struck down President Trump's tariffs. Whether or not brands and retailers will be able to get refunds for the tariffs they paid over the past year. What this could mean in the push for more domestic manufacturing. What they'll be watching next as President Trump vows to impose his tariffs agenda through other means.
On this episode of Fox Across America, Jimmy Failla gives his take on what's next after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled he does not have the authority to impose sweeping tariffs under a specific emergency powers law. Comedian Charles McBee shares his thoughts on the latest developments related to the Epstein files. PLUS, White House border czar Tom Homan makes a triumphant return to the studio and explains how he was able to turn down the temperature in Minneapolis following weeks of anti-ICE protests.

Supreme Court strikes down President Donald Trump's global 'reciprocal' tariffs, ruling 6-3 that his use of an emergency powers law was unconstitutional because, as Chief Justice John Roberts wrote, 'The Framers did not vest any part of the taxing power in the Executive Branch.' President Trump calls the decision 'deeply disappointing' and that he is 'absolutely ashamed' of the justices who voted in the majority, but the President also says he will rely on other laws that do give him the ability to set tariffs and immediately sets a 10% global tariff; we will hear from the President & Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and talk to Vox Media's Supreme Court reporter Ian Millhiser (14); President Trump says he is considering a limited military strike on Iran if negotiations over Iran's nuclear program do not reach an acceptable agreement; Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says tests for Commercial Driver's Licenses will from now on be given only in English; National Governors Association hears from pollster Frank Luntz at its Winter Meeting in DC; NASA says the wet dress rehearsal of the Artemis II moon mission went well; First Lady Melania Trump donates her second inaugural gown to the Smithsonian Museum of American History.

Today's episode of The Be Ruthless Show is a wake up call.A 13 year old completes her own intake paperwork. No parent. No guardian. No emergency contact. If something had gone wrong, there would have been no adult to call.A 16 year old starts therapy. No parent reaches out before. No parent follows up after.This is not about blame. It is about responsibility.Teens today are reporting record levels of anxiety, depression, and loneliness. Emergency room visits for adolescent mental health crises have surged in recent years. And yet more and more adults are stepping back from direct involvement in their children's care.In this episode, I discuss :• The growing gap between adolescent mental health needs and adult engagement• Why autonomy without containment is dangerous• The legal and ethical realities therapists face when no guardian is involved• The difference between empowering teens and abandoning oversight• When adult absence is avoidance, burnout, or something more serious• The cultural shift toward convenience over accountabilityI also address the harder truths:Some teens are acting out.Some are protecting themselves in unsafe homes.Some adults are overwhelmed.Some are disengaged.And systems are making it easier for everyone to opt out.If a minor is in therapy, an adult is part of the treatment whether they participate or not.This episode challenges caregivers, therapists, and systems to examine where responsibility begins and where it has quietly disappeared.Because when a teen shows up alone, someone else is missing.And that matters.
On this emergency episode of the Trade Guys, Bill and Scott break down the Supreme Court's 6-3 decision striking down President Trump's use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) for broad tariffs and discuss the implications of the decision for global trade.
The Silent Threat Women Face Heart disease remains the number one killer of women in America, yet nearly half of all women fail to recognize it as their greatest health threat. During a recent Community Health episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael talks with Dr. April Shewmake, a board-certified interventional cardiologist at Winchester Cardiology and Vascular Medicine I Valley Health, to uncover the truth about cardiovascular health. What emerged was a compelling conversation that challenges common misconceptions and empowers listeners to take control of their heart health. Understanding the Specialist's Perspective Dr. Shewmake brings a unique dual expertise to her practice. As an interventional cardiologist, she treats heart attack emergencies in the catheterization lab using minimally invasive procedures to open blocked arteries. However, she emphasizes that general cardiology—the preventive side of her work—plays an equally vital role. "Before things become an emergency or a heart attack," she explains, "that's the general cardiology piece." This preventive approach focuses on long-term care, diagnostic imaging, and medication management to stop heart disease before it starts. The Prevention Paradox Perhaps the most striking revelation from the conversation centers on prevention. According to Dr. Shewmake, between 70 and 90 percent of heart disease is entirely preventable. This statistic transforms heart health from a matter of fate into one of choice. The key lies in daily habits that many people overlook: maintaining a healthy diet, exercising regularly, controlling blood pressure, managing stress, getting adequate sleep, and remaining tobacco-free. Nevertheless, Dr. Shewmake acknowledges that genetics do play a role. Some patients develop heart disease despite doing everything right. This reality underscores why awareness and early detection remain crucial, even for those who maintain healthy lifestyles. Recognizing the Warning Signs When it comes to identifying potential heart problems, Dr. Shewmake urges people to pay attention to specific symptoms. The major warning signs include chest pressure, shortness of breath, fatigue, dizziness, nausea, and pain radiating to the jaw, arms, or back. Critically, symptoms that appear during physical exertion and improve with rest signal early-stage heart disease. Furthermore, Dr. Shewmake dispels the Hollywood myth that distinguishes heart attacks from indigestion. In reality, many people—particularly young adults and women—delay seeking treatment because they assume their symptoms indicate simple indigestion. Women especially tend to experience atypical presentations, manifesting nausea and shortness of breath rather than classic chest pain. "Don't delay," she insists. "If you think something's wrong, come to the hospital." The 911 Rule Dr. Shewmake reinforces a critical safety message: never drive yourself to the hospital if you suspect a heart attack. Instead, call 911 immediately. Emergency medical services can begin life-saving treatment en route, significantly improving outcomes. This advice echoes the guidance of other cardiologists and represents a consensus among heart specialists. Women's Unique Risk Profile The conversation takes a deeper dive into the specific challenges women face regarding heart disease. Dr. Shewmake reveals that nearly 45 percent of women over age 20 have cardiovascular disease, yet less than half recognize this reality. Heart disease kills more women than all cancers—including breast cancer—combined, claiming one in three female lives. Moreover, women face distinct risk factors that men do not encounter. Hormonal changes during menopause, pregnancy-related complications, and autoimmune conditions all contribute to cardiovascular risk. Additionally, women often present with symptoms later in life but develop more complex disease. The medical community sometimes dismisses women's symptoms, compounding the problem. The Caregiver's Dilemma Janet raises an important point about women's tendency to prioritize others' health over their own. Women rush their husbands and children to the doctor at the first sign of trouble, yet they dismiss their own symptoms as minor inconveniences. Dr. Shewmake validates this observation and emphasizes the need to close the gap in how heart disease gets recognized and treated in women. She advocates for reframing primary care visits as self-care—an hour dedicated to one's own wellbeing. Using the airplane oxygen mask analogy, she reminds women that they must take care of themselves first to remain available for their families. The Rising Threat to Young Adults Alarmingly, cardiovascular disease increasingly affects younger populations. Dr. Shewmake shares that her youngest female heart attack patient was 38, while her youngest male patient was just 30. Janet recounts the tragic story of her son's two high school friends—both in their early thirties—who died from heart attacks within three months. This trend stems from rising cardiovascular risk factors among young people, including diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol appearing at earlier ages. Additionally, genetics likely play a stronger role in these younger cases. Young adults often assume they're invincible, delaying treatment when symptoms appear. This dangerous mindset can prove fatal. Know Your Numbers Throughout the conversation, Dr. Shewmake repeatedly emphasizes the importance of knowing four critical numbers: cholesterol, blood pressure, BMI, and blood sugar. These metrics serve as early warning indicators for heart disease risk. She encourages everyone to discuss these numbers with their primary care physician and take action when they fall outside healthy ranges. Importantly, all these risk factors respond to treatment. Modern medicine offers excellent options for managing weight, cholesterol, and blood sugar. Some newer weight-loss medications not only help patients shed pounds and lower A1C levels but also provide cardiovascular benefits. These treatments represent powerful tools in the fight against heart disease. The Technology Trap When Janet mentions the false sense of security that fitness trackers provide, Dr. Shewmake agrees wholeheartedly. While devices like the Apple Watch offer some benefits, they cannot replace a comprehensive medical evaluation. No wearable technology can measure cholesterol levels, assess blood glucose, or provide the nuanced analysis that comes from a conversation with a healthcare provider. The Path Forward Dr. Shewmake welcomes referrals from primary care physicians when patients need specialized cardiovascular assessment. She sees many patients who request consultations even when their primary care doctors deem it unnecessary, and she views these visits as valuable opportunities for in-depth risk evaluation. Cardiologists can order specialized tests and provide individualized guidance that goes beyond population-level statistics. Breaking the Biggest Myth As the conversation concludes, Dr. Shewmake tackles the most dangerous misconception about heart disease: that it primarily affects men. While society recognizes heart attacks as the leading killer of men, this awareness doesn't extend to women. This gap in understanding costs lives. Her final message centers on empowerment. She urges everyone—especially women—to listen to their bodies, take symptoms seriously, and advocate for themselves when they know something feels wrong. Heart disease may be common, but it remains both preventable and treatable. Early action saves lives, and awareness changes everything. The Simple Truth Ultimately, Dr. Shewmake's message boils down to simple, actionable steps: eat well, move more, manage stress, get enough sleep, know your numbers, and remain tobacco-free. These everyday habits make a profound difference in cardiovascular health. Combined with regular medical care and self-advocacy, they form a powerful defense against America's leading cause of death. The conversation serves as both a wake-up call and a roadmap. Heart disease doesn't discriminate, but knowledge and action provide protection. By recognizing symptoms early, understanding personal risk factors, and prioritizing preventive care, individuals can take control of their heart health and potentially add years to their lives.

In this hard-hitting segment of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards exposes the absolute trainwreck at Mississippi's ABC warehouse that's crippling liquor stores, bars, restaurants, and even casinos statewide. After a 2023 partial privatization brought in Iowa-based contractor Ruan to manage operations, a perfect storm hit: new Blue Yonder software glitches incompatible with ABC's system, removal of conveyor belts for a flawed pallet delivery setup, and massive staffing shortages due to low pay. The result? A staggering 199,000-case backlog, empty shelves, and businesses like LV's and O42 Wine & Spirits scrambling to serve customers while hemorrhaging revenue—prepaid orders sit undelivered, forcing owners to shrink menus and turn away patrons. Clay breaks down WLBT's coverage, including frustrated lawmakers like Rep. Hank Zuber slamming the table in hearings, and Revenue Commissioner Chris Graham's grim timeline: backlog halved by March, cleared by May, leaving small operators hanging. Blogger Kingfish from JacksonJambalaya.com joins to detail the chaos—trucks hauling undeliverable loads without invoices, suppliers halting shipments to the overflowing warehouse—and calls out the bidding process favoring out-of-state firms over locals. Clay rants on government inefficiency, thin margins in the industry (from his bar-owning days), and why the state should fully privatize like beer distribution, urging listeners to support affected sponsors and demand accountability before more businesses dry up.

Are you feeling like you're in a tin can, struggling with brain fog, headaches, or a sense that things are just "off"? Do you wonder why your ESP abilities seem to have hit a wall this morning? Are you ready to face the shadows coming to the surface to find your greatest healing yet? You aren't imagining the intensity, and you are certainly not alone. In this high-vibration, unplanned transmission, Michael pivots from a scheduled show to address the overwhelming energy of the "Ring of Fire" solar eclipse. Calling it a "venomous" eclipse, Michael explains that like a medicinal venom, this energy is here to "bite" you just enough to shake loose what has been hidden under the carpet for the last 18 years. Discover why this is a "triple shadow" event, involving the Earth, the Moon, and your own soul, and how the internal conflict you're feeling is actually a portal to personal expansion. This isn't a time for judgment; it's a gateway to self-agency where you stop warring with yourself and finally reclaim your power as the creator. Key Topics: The "Ring of Fire" Eclipse: A rare annular eclipse in Aquarius that turns the sun into a glowing halo. It initiates a new 18-month Aquarius-Leo cycle, last seen between 2017 and 2019. Energy Amplification & Symptoms: Reports of headaches, dizziness, "brain fog," and a temporary drop in ESP abilities due to solar activity and the triple-shadow eclipse. The "Triple Shadow" Concept: A profound energetic alignment involving the shadows of the Earth, the Moon, and the Soul, designed to bring hidden wounds to the surface. A Portal for Self-Agency: Why this is the ultimate time to stop "warring with yourself" and take back your power from external narratives. The Power of Forgiveness: A group ritual focusing on self-forgiveness to release the "internal struggle" of feeling "less than". Manifestation in the Portal: How to use this high-vibration gateway to envision how you wish to feel, rather than staying stuck in current circumstances. This is a call to step through the gateway. Michael emphasizes that while the next two weeks may feel "poopy" or overwhelming, they are a massive positive gateway for personal expansion and collective awakening.

Ever feel like you're doing everything right but still stuck going in circles? I spent the weekend at Daytona watching a guy in 19th place never hold a single lead lap. Then chaos hit. While everyone else crashed, he stayed calm, navigated through the mess, and won the race. That's the power of being prepared when it matters most. Today I'm teaching you my pre-planned response system. It's changed everything for my clients who are crushing it in business but keep getting blindsided in important conversations. This is applied awareness before the moment happens. Featured Story Years ago, I was dating Joy, who's now my wife of 19 years. I was terrible at dating but determined to nail every moment. We're at this French restaurant in Mount Dora, and she looks at me and asks, "Mr. Smith, what are your intentions, sir?" Without hesitation, I said, "My intentions are to get you to fall madly in love with me, marry me, and spend the rest of your life with me. Is that okay?" Her jaw hit the table. Was it random? Not even close. I'd practiced that response over and over. I had it dialed in and ready to fire. That's what pre-planned responses do. They turn the moments that matter into wins instead of regrets. Important Points Important conversations trigger emotions, emotions narrow your thinking, and that narrow thinking creates regret. Most regret doesn't come from bad intentions but from showing up unprepared when the moment demands your best. Pre-planned responses give you composure when stakes are high and emotions want to hijack the conversation. Memorable Quotes "Confidence in any conversation isn't about charisma. It's about preparation and showing up ready to execute." "If you think through what you'll do when you're totally surprised, you'll never be totally surprised by anything." "We're not controlling the conversation. We're controlling ourselves inside the conversation when it matters." Scott's Three-Step Approach Identify the specific conversation coming your way, what concerns you about it, and what's actually at stake here. Anticipate the angles of attack like pushback, objections, emotions, blame, and surprise questions heading your way. Write short anchor responses you can repeat calmly when pressure hits and you need composure fast under fire.

The history of Colorado and the West is the history of the Black cowboy; now it's inspired the play "Godspeed" which just had its world premiere in Denver. Plus, we visit a museum that shares an often untold and overlooked aspect of the history of the West. Also, about half of counties in Colorado do not have emergency shelters for people trying to leave abusive situations at home. We hear from a researcher who's mapped the state about what she found in the search for a solution.

Dumb Bleep of the Week (Part 2): Epstein Files Spin, Tariff "Emergency" Tricks, SAVE Act Drama, and Surveillance Ads Nate and Chuck host Part 2 of "Dumb Bleep of the Week," reacting to several political and cultural stories. They revisit the Epstein/Massie/Pam Bondi discourse, criticizing a MAGA post claiming the "full Epstein files" were released, noting the DOJ has released 3.5 million of roughly 6 million pages and discussing controversy over unredacting names of innocent people. They mock the idea of an "Epstein list" as merely a database of any name appearing in documents and point out both Thomas Massey and online personalities like "cat turd" appear for non-incriminating reasons. They then cover House maneuvering around Trump's tariffs and the National Emergencies Act, highlighting a GOP effort to redefine "calendar days" so Congress can avoid the required 15-day vote to terminate an emergency. Next, they discuss claims that Massie voted against advancing the SAVE Act, explaining he opposed a rule package that also suspended the 24-hour notice requirement for spending bills; they note Massie later voted for the SAVE Act itself. They critique Rep. Susie Lee's video opposing the SAVE Act and discuss broader ID/citizenship and election trust arguments. Other segments include Ilhan Omar's Epstein-related jab at Trump and commentary about Somalia's laws; Los Angeles halting street repaving to avoid triggering Measure HLA's mandatory bike-lane and "road diet" requirements; California's "jock tax," including reporting that Sam Darnold could net a loss after winning a Super Bowl bonus due to duty-day taxation; a Maryland squatter story involving a $2.3 million home; and a New York clip of a speaker advocating taxing millionaires and even making it illegal for them to leave. They close with criticism of Ring's Super Bowl ad promoting AI-powered neighborhood camera searches for lost pets and mention Ring canceling its partnership with Flock Safety amid backlash.

//The Wire//2300Z February 12, 2026////ROUTINE////BLUF: LARGE-SCALE WASTEWATER DISASTER CONTINUES IN MARYLAND. NETANYAHU ARRIVES IN D.C. FOR TALKS. HIGH-PROFILE STABBING REPORTED AT HIGH SCHOOL IN LONDON.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events-United Kingdom: Social tensions remain high after another high-profile stabbing was reported at a school in London. One assailant (who has not been named due to his age), conducted a stabbing attack at Kingsbury High School in London on Tuesday. Two students were wounded during the attack, and the assailant was detained at the scene.Analyst Comment: Continuing standard practice regarding incidents like this, very few details have been published; it's surprising that the incident has been acknowledged by authorities at all, so we have to take what we can get. Witnesses to the crime state that the attacker was a former student who entered the school to conduct an attack due to a personal grievance with another student.-HomeFront-Maryland/NOVA: Fallout continues from a local sewage spill that took place in Montgomery County last month, which started as a minor infrastructure problem, but has rapidly become a major environmental disaster as the true scale has become known. On January 19th, one of the pipes that comprise the Potomac Interceptor wastewater system ruptured, causing a major leak. As of this morning, this spill officially became the largest wastewater spill in American history, with an estimated 250 million-1 billion gallons of raw sewage flowing directly into the Potomac River.Analyst Comment: Almost three weeks after the leak began, it is still flowing due to the large-scale nature of how to handle wastewater when a 72 inch pipe is taken offline. Emergency pumps have been functioning since January 24th, and additional pumping stations are being set up to re-reroute waste. However, overflows still occur due to weather events and other factors which mean that the leak is only mostly-contained, and not fully contained. Monitoring for E. Coli continues around the clock, and the levels of bacteria throughout the entire river are a few thousand times the standard levels. Repairs to completely stop the leak are expected to be in place within six weeks.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Also in Washington, yesterday Prime Minister Netanyahu arrived for his seventh State visit of President Trump's term. So far the only thing of note to come from the talks is the potential deployment of a second Carrier Strike Group (CSG) to the Middle East, to support strikes in Iran. The decision on this has not been released to the public yet, but timeline-wise if a second aircraft carrier is assessed to be needed for this campaign, it would take at least a couple of weeks to arrive in theater. Concerning airstrikes, any bombing campaign is unlikely to take place until Netanyahu returns home to coordinate the strikes from their home turf. This evening, the talks with President Trump concluded, and Netanyahu is currently flying back to Israel.Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2undergroundDisclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report.//END REPORT//
President Donald Trump wants to keep home prices high, bypassing calls to ramp up construction so people can afford what has been a ticket to the middle class. The real estate industry, local officials and apartment dwellers say is needed to fix a big chunk of America's affordability problem.

1. Minnesota AG Keith Ellison’s Senate Testimony Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison was questioned in the Senate regarding alleged failures to prevent and address large‑scale fraud in the state’s Feeding Our Future program. Senators—primarily Josh Hawley—accused Ellison of: Ignoring whistleblower warnings as early as 2018–2019. Meeting with individuals later indicted for fraud and allegedly offering to “look into” investigators who were scrutinizing them. Accepting approximately $10,000 in campaign donations from individuals tied to the fraud shortly after their meeting. Ellison strongly denied wrongdoing, describing the claims as false and politically motivated. The session was tense, marked by interruptions, raised voices, and confrontational exchanges. 2. Refusal to Condemn Louis Farrakhan During questioning, Ellison declined to explicitly condemn antisemitic statements attributed to Louis Farrakhan. He attempted to redirect discussion to immigration topics, expressing discomfort with the line of questioning. 3. Democrats Linked to Record Sewage Spill Democratic officials in Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia oversaw infrastructure failures leading to the largest sewage spill in U.S. history. A burst 72‑inch sewer pipe released nearly one billion gallons of raw sewage into the Potomac River. Criticism is directed at: Lack of media coverage. Slow response times. Infrastructure mismanagement. Emergency pumps had to be transported from Texas and Florida to address the crisis. 4. Discussion of Government Competence Democratic‑run cities and states mismanage public systems (snow removal, wildfire mitigation, infrastructure maintenance, etc.). They argue such patterns reflect systemic governmental incompetence. 5. Save America Act & Voter ID Debate The Save America Act, passed in the House with near‑unanimous Republican support, requires: Proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote. Photo ID to vote. Senator Ted Cruz advocates for aggressive procedural tactics in the Senate, including: Forcing a “talking filibuster.” Using the two‑speech rule to pressure Democratic senators. The argument made: voter ID laws are widely supported across political and demographic groups. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Summary In this episode, Andy talks with Richard Carson, author of The Book of Change. If you feel like you barely finish one change before the next one hits, this conversation is for you. Richard shares his deeply researched and battle-tested framework called People Sustained Organizational Change Management, or PSOCM. Unlike many change management books, this is not about certifications or slogans. It is about building a repeatable system to diagnose problems, distinguish adaptive from transformational change, and gain executive traction when support is not automatic. You will hear why so many change efforts fail before they even begin, how to craft a clear problem statement, and what leaders often misunderstand about the type of change they are facing. Richard also explains why he chose the phrase "People Sustained" and how thinking structurally about change can even help at home. If you're looking for practical, grounded insights on leading through continuous change, this episode is for you! Sound Bites "My advice to you is to anticipate change and manage change before it manages you." "Different change models have been introduced in the literature, but there has not been one coherent model for managing organizational change." "PSOCM is driven by defined actions with statistical metrics that produce measurable results." "You get a free book and the next thing you know you're getting the pitch to hire them at an exorbitant amount of money per hour." "Organizations consist of people, and it is the people who are primarily the problem." "Change management is proactive. Emergency management is reactive." "It is not productive to put the organization on the couch and ask, 'Well, what do you think?'" "You can change a process, but you cannot change a person's underlying psychology." "You now own it, or it now owns you." Chapters 00:00 Introduction 01:40 Start of Interview 01:54 Family Culture and Early Influences 03:58 Criticisms of Change Management Books and Certifications 06:15 Defining Organizational Change Management in Plain Talk 07:44 What Surprised Him in the History of Change 10:57 Adaptive vs. Transformational Change 14:23 Why He Named It People Sustained Organizational Change Management 20:03 Problem Identification and Writing Effective Problem Statements 24:31 Getting Executive Support When Change Is Not Top Down 26:49 When Benefits Do Not Move Leaders 28:21 One More Idea to Anticipate Change Before It Manages You 30:03 Applying Change Lessons at Home as a Parent 31:36 End of Interview 32:38 Andy Comments After the Interview 35:31 Outtakes Learn More You can learn more about Richard and his work at RichardCarson.org. Make sure to get the free ebook download. For more learning on this topic, check out: Episode 343 with Gary Lloyd. He has a clever metaphor of thinking about change like a gardener, not a mechanic. It's a great discussion that I think you'll find quite practical. Episode 344 with Peter Bregman and Howie Jacobson. Their book is about change, but not at the organizational level. They think you can change other people, which sounds presumptuous at the least. But they back that up in the interview so check out episode 344 for more. Episode 53 with John Kotter. He's one of the most famous names when it comes to change management. Go way back to episode 53 to hear from John directly.

In the wake of the October 7, 2023 massacre in Israel, countless individuals around the world searched for ways to respond. For Marlene Kolangi, a New York-based fashion designer and entrepreneur, the answer was clear: dedicate her life to helping the children left behind. Kolangi, founder of the successful bridal and modest fashion brand Kaituz in Queens, is widely known in the modest fashion and wig communities for her custom designs that empower women to feel beautiful and confident. But after October 7, her professional focus took a dramatic turn. Deeply shaken by the terrorist attacks and the devastating toll on Israeli families, Kolangi founded Israel Orphans of 10/7, an organization devoted exclusively to supporting children who lost one or both parents in the massacre and subsequent war. Appearing on Episode 47 of the Alan Skorski Reports podcast, Kolangi shared how the tragedy transformed her life and mission. “I couldn't just sit back,” she explained. “These children lost everything in a single day. They need more than sympathy — they need stability, support, and a future.” Her organization provides both immediate and long-term assistance, including: Emergency financial aid for basic needs Long-term savings accounts for each orphan Funding for life milestones such as bar and bat mitzvahs, education, and weddings Emotional care services, including play therapy and personalized support Kolangi emphasized that her work goes beyond writing checks. She personally travels to Israel, meeting families face-to-face, listening to their stories, and delivering assistance directly — whether through funds, gift cards, clothing, or ongoing personal relationships. “The most important thing is dignity,” she said. “These children should not feel forgotten. They should feel embraced by the entire Jewish people.” A single mother herself, Kolangi has been profiled in several Jewish media outlets, including Arutz Sheva, The Jewish Link, and VINnews, where she has been described as a “superhero” for transforming her business platform into a vehicle for communal healing. She also speaks at Jewish inspirational gatherings and communal events, including Project Inspire, where she encourages others to turn pain into purpose. According to Kolangi, the mission is long-term. While global attention may shift, the needs of October 7's youngest victims remain. “This is not a six-month project,” she noted. “These children will grow up with this loss. We are committed to walking with them for years — through school, through milestones, through life.” Supporters can learn more or contribute to Israel Orphans of 10/7 through its fundraising platform, often linked via CauseMatch under the Healing Heroes campaign. As the Jewish world continues to grapple with the aftermath of October 7, Kolangi's work stands as a powerful example of grassroots leadership — channeling heartbreak into hope, and tragedy into tangible action for Israel's most vulnerable. -VIN News Donations can be made through: https://causematch.com/healingheroes Contact the Organization: info@israelorphansof10seven.org Subscribe to Alan Skorski Reports: www.youtube.com/@AlanSkorskiReports Alan Skorski Reports 12FEB2026 - PODCAST
What happens to your pets if you're suddenly unable to care for them? For Childfree people with animal companions, this isn't just about planning for after you're gone. It's about having a solid plan for emergencies, temporary disability, and ensuring your pets get the care they need when you can't provide it.Bri Conn, CFP® and Dr. Jay Zigmont, CFP® tackle pet protection planning, from 155-pound English Mastiffs with special dietary needs to orange cats with attitude problems. They break down the difference between temporary care (you're in the hospital for three days) and permanent arrangements (you pass away), the legal reality that pets are considered property, how pet trusts work differently than wills, and Childfree Trust®'s 24/7 emergency response system that activates care plans the moment someone is hospitalized.Key Takeaways:Temporary vs permanent care requires different plans: Emergency disability needs immediate pet care with existing sitters or facilities. Permanent arrangements require identifying long-term guardians willing to take animals with special needs, plus backup options like specialized shelters.Pet trusts protect animals beyond wills: Pet trusts ensure trustees oversee that guardians actually spend funds on your pet's benefit.Care documents enable emergency response: Document feeding schedules, medical conditions, allergies, medications, veterinarian contacts, and house access information so caregivers know exactly what your pet needs.The 3 C's framework: Caretaker, Communication, Critical information: Who takes responsibility, how they're reached in emergencies, and everything they need to know about food, medicine, behavior, and routines.Professional support fills the family gap: Childfree Trust®'s 24/7 emergency response activates care plans immediately when clients are hospitalized.Mentioned in this episode:Protecting pets emergency checklist - Download it hereStart your estate planning here - www.ChildfreeTrust.comEpisode Hosts:Bri Conn, CFP® - Customer Experience Manager at Childfree Trust®.

Welcome back to The Rizzuto Show, your favorite daily dose of chaos pretending to be a radio program. This funny podcast starts exactly how you'd expect — microphones not working, Scott dressed like Austin Powers, and Rizz questioning every life choice that led him here. So yeah, we're off to a strong start.We kick things off with Rizz discovering his new favorite “sport,” and by sport we mean two massive humans sprinting at each other full speed with no ball, no pads, and absolutely no plan for their future brain health. It's called Run It Straight (or Run Nation Championship, depending on how awake we are), and it's basically football without the football — just pure collision and vibes. Doctors are horrified. The internet? Fully locked in. Is this the future of entertainment, or the prequel to Idiocracy? We debate responsibly while absolutely watching every clip.Then things get wholesome… sort of. A toddler in Webster Groves manages to crawl INTO a claw machine at a soccer complex and just chills there like he's on vacation. Emergency responders panic. The kid? Surrounded by stuffed animals, thriving. Honestly, respect. We crown him a legend and question how this doesn't happen daily.The mood shifts hard when we cover a disturbing local animal abuse case, and Swamp Court is officially called into session. Rafe delivers justice the only way Swamp Court knows how, and yes, it involves wildlife. We get serious, we get angry, and we all agree: protect animals at all costs.Then somehow — SOMEHOW — we land in Maryland, where a paramedic allegedly peed in everything at work. Chili. Coffee creamer. Ice machine. Chapstick. Keyboard. Why? Content. Literally. He filmed it. For money. Congratulations, you now trust nothing in your workplace.From there, we debate whether mooning should be legal again (spoiler: it should), break down proper mooning form like it's an Olympic sport, and uncover legal precedents defending butt-based free speech. This funny podcast truly asks the important questions: Is mooning art? Is 75% crack acceptable? And did society collapse when we stopped showing cheeks?We also hit National Flannel Day, Red Tuesday (aka the most common breakup day of the year), coworkers who deserve jail time for printer crimes, and the terrifying realization that toddlers are just drunk adults with better balance.If you like funny podcast chaos, weird news, uncomfortable truths, and a group of adults arguing about butts like it's Congress, congratulations — you're home.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Richard McGirr records an emergency solo episode explaining why 2026 will be the year AI agents fundamentally change how real estate businesses operate. He introduces OpenClaw, an open-source AI agent framework, and explains how agents differ from chat tools by having memory, tool access, and the ability to run autonomous workflows. Richard shares real examples from his own business, including tracking legal document revisions, generating daily sales intelligence across CRM, email, and calls, and replacing repetitive VA-style reporting with automated agent summaries. He also warns extensively about the security risks of agent tools, outlining why strict permissions and safeguards are essential before deploying them in a live business environment. The episode closes with a look at how AI agents could soon assist with capital raising, webinar sourcing, and outreach, while stressing that this technology is still best suited for highly technical users — for now.

*** Content Warning: child victims ***Oklahoma teenager Ashley Freeman celebrated her sixteenth birthday by inviting her best friend, Lauria Bible, over for a sleepover. It was a pleasant yet uneventful evening, until the following morning of December 30 1999, when neighbours noticed that the Freemans' house was engulfed in flames. Emergency services quickly arrived at the scene, where they found the charred remains of Ashley's mother, Kathy. She had also been shot in the head. The fire was ruled to be arson, but where were Lauria, Ashley or Ashley's father, Danny?---Casefile Archives is a series of special bonus releases revisiting the earliest years of the show. The re-run episodes have been completely edited, polished, re-recorded and freshly produced from start to finish to match our current production standards. They are not complete rewrites - our goal wasn't to alter the cases or reshape the writing, but to preserve the original storytelling while giving the production the refinement it didn't have when we started the show back in 2016. Where appropriate, updates have been added, but the core structure and storytelling remain faithful to the originals. Because of this, these re-releases may sound a little different to our recent episodes, but they allow us to bring some of the earliest episodes up to the technical quality listeners expect today.---Narration – Anonymous HostResearch & writing – Anonymous HostAdditional writing - Elsha McGillProduction & music – Mike MigasAudio editing – Anthony TelferSign up for Casefile Premium:Apple PremiumSpotify PremiumPatreonFor all credits and sources, please visit https://casefilepodcast.com/casefile-archives-5-lauria-bible-ashley-freeman Hosted on Acast.
