A three-year-old boy. Yellow t-shirt. Alone in a pediatric cancer ward in Uganda. His family had just dropped him off and left. That moment wasn't a business plan. It wasn't a strategy. It was a calling. And from it, Letha Sandison built a cause-based clothing line to fund chemotherapy for kids before cause-based brands even existed. Then she came home and built a wellness community rooted in the same question: how can I be of service? Letha Sandison is the founder of Four Moons Spa in Encinitas, California, a wellness sanctuary built on belonging, community, and values-led entrepreneurship.  In this conversation, she and George trace her journey from Uganda to California, from nonprofit to wellness playground, and unpack what it actually looks like to build a business and a life by following what genuinely calls you. What You'll Learn In This Episode: How a single moment in a Ugandan cancer ward became the foundation of a career Why a strong enough "why" is what carries you through when entrepreneurship stops feeling good What living in Uganda taught Letha about community, gratitude, and perspective The "onion days and strawberry days" framework for navigating hardship How values function as a living operating system, not words on a wall Why collaboration over competition is her best business decision How to sit with setbacks before rushing to fix them The three pillars George distills from the conversation: why, service, and community Key Takeaways: ✔️Following curiosity and passion isn't naive, it's a navigational system. The businesses that last are built on something that calls you, not something that's trending. ✔️Your why has to create an emotion, not just a logical statement. If you can't feel it, it won't carry you through the hard parts. ✔️Service isn't a marketing angle. It's the reason Letha's businesses have lasted across continents and decades. ✔️Onion days are real. You don't shift them by pretending they aren't hard. You sit in them, feel them fully, and make decisions from the other side. ✔️Values are only as real as how you use them. They live in decisions, product choices, team conversations, and what you choose not to do. ✔️Community is not a nice-to-have. It's a survival mechanism: in Uganda, in business, and in life. ✔️Perspective is the difference between your prison and your power. It doesn't mean you smile through hard things. It means you choose how you operate inside of them. ✔️Revenue is a byproduct. It always comes after an equal sign. Focus on who you're serving and the math takes care of itself. ✔️Misalignment is the number one reason businesses fail past a decade. The fix isn't more strategy, it's more honesty about your why, your service, and your community.

In this episode of Hands in the Soil, we sit down with Greg Reese, first-generation farmer and farm manager at Fox Point Farms - a working agrihood community in Encinitas, California. Greg didn't grow up on a farm. He grew up in the suburbs, stumbled into organic food through a farm-to-table restaurant job in his mid-twenties, and spent the next decade piecing together an education from backyard gardens, WWOOFing trips to Costa Rica, rainwater harvesting work, school gardens, indigenous land partnerships, and small urban farms. That winding, mentor-rich path eventually led him to the farm he manages now: a two-and-a-half-acre regenerative operation embedded in a 250-home community, with a restaurant, market, brewery, and apothecary all on site.Tune in to learn more about:The moment Greg realized organic food tasted and felt different, and what that curiosity unlockedThe difference between gardening and farming, and how scale, markets, and business thinking change everythingWhat an agrihood is, why the concept resonates deeply, and how Fox Point Farms came to beWhy cutting out the supply chain middleman is one of the most powerful things a small farmer can doThe true cost of food: land, labor, water, machinery, government subsidies, and why "cheap" conventional produce is only cheap on the surfaceWhy Americans spend less of their income on food than almost any other developed nation, and what that says about our prioritiesThe race to the bottom on food prices, and why Greg refuses to participateGreg's step-by-step advice for anyone who wants to get started in farmingHow agritourism (farm dinners, animal encounters, U-picks, school visits) is becoming essential to the small farm business modelConnect + Learn More:Follow Greg's Instagram: @farmergreg_officialCheck out Fox Point Farms: @foxpointfarmsWebsite: foxpointfarms.com Connect with Hannah: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@hannahkeitel ⁠⁠⁠

"Sonny Haynes finds himself traveling between a western movie set in Twentynine Palms, CA, where an actress has been assaulted, and his own Starlite Hotel & Resort, where two visitors are found dead in their room. What follows is a race against time, the culmination of which leads to the heart of darkness itself in the Southern California desert." Brian Townsley joins the show to talk about his long-awaited novel Under a Black Flag — the third installment in the Sonny Haynes series. Brian pulls back the curtain on a book nearly a decade in the making, sharing how the first 70-plus pages sat untouched for years before he finally returned to bring the story home. The conversation also dives into the craft: how series characters grow (and stumble) across books, why flaws matter more than perfection, and Brian's scene-by-scene approach to building a story. Plus, Brian shares updates on Starlight Pulp, the My Confession collection, upcoming community events including a reading at Artifact Books in Encinitas and Noir in the Boneyard at the 29 Palms Book Fest, and his Editor's Perspective video series for writers.

They get into the science of duckweed and why rubisco is both the most abundant and most bioavailable protein on the planet, the modular “crawl, walk, run” scaling philosophy that kept Plantible from getting buried under capex, and how landing in El Dorado, Texas lifted the surrounding county's median household income by 62%.

Dr. Lem Usita saw the teen mental health and social media crisis coming long before the world started talking about it. In this unbelievably powerful episode of The Vibe Podcast with Kelly Cardenas, we dive deep into parenting teenagers in the digital age, adolescent identity formation, social media addiction, teen anxiety, screen time, dopamine, emotional health, and how parents can build a stronger foundation for their kids before technology shapes them first.This conversation is not just important for parents in North County San Diego, Carlsbad, Encinitas, Oceanside, and Southern California — it's a conversation every parent around the world needs to hear.Long before Instagram, TikTok, and smartphones dominated teenage life, Dr. Lem Usita began researching how adolescents form identity in online spaces. His groundbreaking doctoral dissertation through Biola University became a roadmap for understanding the collision between technology, parenting, leadership, faith, and mental health.What makes this episode different is the simplicity and practicality of Dr. Usita's framework. Using James Marcia's identity formation model, Dr. Lem breaks down exactly where teenagers are developmentally and gives parents a practical pathway to help their kids create confidence, clarity, resilience, and a firm emotional foundation in a world constantly competing for their attention.And honestly… his knowledge is only overshadowed by his heart for people.This wasn't just an interview. It was one of those conversations that stays with you long after the cameras stop rolling. Kelly and Dr. Lem unpack the questions parents are afraid to ask:• When should kids get phones?• What is social media actually doing to identity?• Why are anxiety and depression skyrocketing in teenagers?• How do parents lead instead of react?• What does healthy identity formation actually look like?Take Dr Lem Usita's assessment HERE

//The Wire//2300Z March 27, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: GULF WAR CONTINUES AS SHIPPING COMPANIES MAKE DEALS WITH IRAN. WAR IN LEBANON REMAINS INTENSE AS IDF NEARS LITANI ON THE EASTERN FRONT. AIRSTRIKES REPORTED AT TWO IRANIAN URANIUM PRODUCTION FACILITIES.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE-----  -International Events-Middle East: Offensive actions and targeting efforts by all sides were temporarily degraded last night as a major storm system descended on the region. A supercell storm system similar to a cyclone descended on the UAE last night, with severe flooding and high winds being reported throughout Dubai.After the weather cleared, major Iranian targeting efforts were reported throughout the region. Port facilitates were struck in Kuwait, and a large fire was observed at the parking apron used by American aircraft at Prince Sultan Airbase in Saudi Arabia, with the smoke plume being visible on Sentinel satellite imagery from this morning.Iran: This morning American/Israeli forces struck multiple nuclear production facilities. The Arak Heavy Water Facility (which was struck years ago) was struck again this morning, and the Yellowcake Refinery in Ardakan was also struck.Analyst Comment: The risk of radiological release at either facility is low, as Arak was not functional and Ardakan was not host to enriched Uranium itself. However, monitoring will continue as radioactive dust is likely to contaminate the local area to some degree, and time will tell how these threats develop as the strikes continue.Lebanon: Israeli forces continue their advance north toward the Litani River, as FPV drone attacks by Hezbollah become more significant. Two drone attacks on Israeli armored columns were reported last night, along the eastern axis of advance. Israeli forces along the eastern front have made the most progress toward the river, with IDF units being observed in the town of Taybeh this morning.Analyst Comment: Hezbollah's media group claims that a total of 21 Merkava tanks have been destroyed so far this campaign, however as always these numbers are usually overinflated. Concerning tank casualties, it's incredibly difficult to tell from a video clip if a vehicle was actually penetrated or not, and most of the clips provided by Hezbollah conveniently cut away before the tank's Trophy countermeasure system is activated. This means that counting destroyed/disabled tanks is mostly a wash. However, from the clips and reports on the ground, this is not an easy fight for the Israelis either. Anti-Tank Guided Missile attacks are a mainstay of Hezbollah, and these attacks have been effective in making the Israeli advance more costly than expected.-HomeFront-Iowa: Last night a major egg farm burned down in Corwith. The Hawkeye Pride egg production facility caught fire shortly after 6:00pm yesterday evening, which resulted in significant damage to the egg farm. Hawkeye Pride is one of the largest cage-free egg producers in the United States, and the extent of the damage to the henhouses has not yet been determined.California: Yesterday evening a blackout was reported in Orange County, mostly affecting the areas of Carlsbad and Encinitas, as well as areas south of Escondido. The cause of the electrical outage has not yet been reported, but services were mostly restored for many customers by sunrise.Florida: Following up on the recent IED threat to MacDill Air Force Base, two individuals have been identified as the culprits of the attack. Ann Mary Zheng and her brother Alen Zheng (both Chinese nationals) have been indicted on charges of emplacing the IED at the visitor's center on March 10th before it was discovered by authorities on March 16th. Mary Zheng was arrested on Wednesday after returning to the United States, while her brother remains in China.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Many nationstates have made th

Dr. Georgine Nanos is a board-certified family physician based in Encinitas, California, and the North American Medical Director for Exo Mind — the world's most advanced TMS device. She has been practicing medicine for 24 years and pioneered the world's first single-day TMS protocol, publishing the landmark study in 2024. Her clinic, Kind Minds TMS, offers the full spectrum of TMS treatments from performance optimization to treatment-resistant depression. - Website: kindmindstms.com - Instagram: @drgeorginenanos  Dr. Judson Brandeis is a board-certified urologist, men's health specialist, and author of *The 21st Century Man*. Based in Northern California, he has integrated the Exo Mind TMS system into his practice and recently launched Global Men's Wellness — an AI-powered Men's Health large language model trained on curated medical literature. - Website: brandeismd.com - AI Platform: globalmenswellness.com Key Takeaways: TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) uses safe magnetic pulses — no electricity — to stimulate the dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex, the brain's emotional control center.  The traditional 40-day TMS protocol has been condensed into a single day with equal or better outcomes.  Dr. Nanos' published trial showed a 90% response rate and 72% remission rate — more than double the remission rate of antidepressants.  TMS is not just for depression. It treats anxiety, PTSD, burnout, brain fog, insomnia, perimenopausal symptoms, and performance optimization.  The one-day protocol costs approximately $10,000–$12,000 and is not covered by insurance (cash pay only for accelerated protocols).  TMS creates a "window of neuroplasticity" — the brain is most receptive to new patterns immediately after treatment. Dr. Brandeis' personal experience: woke up 15–20% happier, more creative, with greater mental clarity — sustained for months.  Dr. Nanos' Best Medicine: sleep and exercise.

Interested in looking at how a nonprofit clinic operates for neuro rehab? In this episode hosts Erin Gallardo, PT, DPT, NCS and Claire McLean, PT, DPT, NCS interview co-founder Meagan George, PT, DPT, NCS about how she and her partners built a nonprofit, cash-based neuro clinic in Encinitas, California. After feeling constrained by insurance limitations in hospital systems, the trio incorporated as a 501(c)(3) in 2021 with a mission to deliver intensive, goal-oriented PT, OT, and wellness services regardless of a person's financial situation. NeuroLab 360 operates using a scholarship program—reviewed and approved by their board of directors—to make care accessible, with about 30–40% of patients receiving financial support and everyone paying something to maintain commitment and value. Meagan shares how they've grown from three founders to a team of nine therapists, outfitted their gym-like clinic with donated and grant-funded specialty equipment like an AlterG and driving simulator, and built strong community ties through support groups, free and low-cost classes, and collaborations with local hospitals, researchers, and nonprofits. She also opens up about the real challenges of running a nonprofit—especially grant writing, budgeting with variable donations, and preventing burnout—while still staying true to their core mission of providing high-quality, high-intensity neuro rehab that isn't dictated by insurance. www.neurolab360.com https://www.instagram.com/neurolab360/

Senator Catherine Blakespear represents California's 38th Senate District, covering northern San Diego County and southern Orange County. Senator Blakespear is a lawyer and former journalist with local government experience and elected the State Senate 2022. She currently chairs the Senate Environmental Quality Committee— a committee that covers legislation related to environmental quality, air quality, water quality, climate change, and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).  Before entering state politics, Senator Blakespear served eight years in Encinitas city government, including six years as mayor. As a fourth-generation San Diegan, she's witnessed California's environmental challenges evolve firsthand—from local coastal access issues to regional air quality concerns to the transboundary environmental crisis at the Tijuana River.  In just three years in the Senate, she's authored 24 bills signed into law, tackling issues from plastic bag bans to gun violence prevention to solar energy tax protections.   Senator Blakespear has navigated the complex intersections of housing, transportation, climate action, and environmental protection—learning how policy decisions play out at different scales and how to balance competing priorities while advancing California's environmental leadership.  Thanks for listening, we hope you enjoy!

We're honored to welcome Assemblymember Tasha Burner, who represents California's 77th Assembly District, encompassing coastal communities from Carlsbad and Encinitas south through La Jolla to Coronado.   Assemblymember Boerner has served in the State Assembly since 2018 and currently chairs both the Assembly Communications and Conveyance Committee and the Assembly Select Committee on Sea Level Rise and the California Economy—a committee to address the urgent threats facing California's coastline.  Her environmental leadership is evident in her successful legislation, including AB 823, which unanimously passed to ban plastic microbeads in leave-on personal care and cleaning products, and groundbreaking work to address plastic glitter pollution. Before her legislative career, she served on the Encinitas City Council and Planning Commission, where her advocacy began with a simple goal: getting a stop sign installed near her children's school.  Assemblymember Boerner holds a Master's degree in International Studies from Claremont Graduate University and a Bachelor's in Political Science from UC Berkeley. She brings a blend of local government experience, business acumen, and passionate advocacy for coastal resilience, environmental protection, and community-centered policy to her work in Sacramento.  Join us as we discuss her approach to environmental leadership, coastal adaptation, and shaping California's environmental future.  And to learn more about the work the Assemblymember is doing, check the video series, Tea Time with Tasha.

Welcome to the first Monday in January of 2026.  Happy New Year!  I can’t think of a better way to start the year than with my guest Celeste Barbier. Meet Celeste. Celeste Barbier is a Professional Vocalist, Ordained Minister, and Certified Expert Sound Healer. She is also a women’s group travel curator & leader, and public speaker.  And,  hopefully future published author based in Oceanside, California. Known for a versatile repertoire spanning more than a century of music, Celeste brings warmth, precision, and emotional resonance to corporate events, private celebrations, weddings, and memorials. In doing so she creates experiences that feels both elevated and deeply personal. In 2019 and 2020, Celeste released two professional albums, with one original song gaining strong traction leading into 2020. During the COVID era, she became a daily content creator, beginning with “Quaranteatime,” a series of brief uplifting segments, and expanding into her one-hour show “Celeste's Quest For Her Best Life,” streamed through outlets including The Quarantine Network (TQN) and Palapa TV. In 2022, a profound personal healing experience catalyzed her expanded path in sound healing. She became a Certified Expert Sound Healer and hosted her first sound bath on 11/22/22. Today, she and her wife René Cosby (Reiki Master) offer Resté Sound Healing experiences and curate Resté Getaway For Women.  This is a transformational group travel rooted in relaxation, exploration, culture, and connection. Resté Getaway for Women offers curated, luxury, all-inclusive women-only vacations to unique, once-in-a-lifetime destinatins. Coming in March will be a trip to Thailand.  They focuse on exclusive experiences designed for women by women, rather than being a typical travel agency. They create boutique travel events emphasizing discovery and connection, distinct from general women’s retreats or destination ideas.  In January 2026, Celeste begins her role as Director of Meditation & Music at Seaside Center for Spiritual Living in Encinitas. Celeste’s Takeaways. “My ‘why’ is to create spaces where people feel safe to soften, reconnect, and remember what matters — through voice, sound, and presence. In an era where the country feels more divided than ever, I'm devoted to the common denominator: music and healing that reunites people across all backgrounds. Healing in the form of connection, peace, nervous system regulation, nostalgia, and remembrance of who we are and why we are here: to love one another.” In Closing. Celeste joined me when I was in the LA Talk Live Studio in 2016.  In fact, here is a link from our show:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKChhMnT8A8. Thank you Celeste for sharing your story with us.  Conversations + Connections = Community Making the world a better place.  One Story at a time.  What's Your Story? I want to share it!     Marsha@borntotalkradioshow.com Facebook Instagram LinkedIn Twitter
