Motherhood and partnership don't come with a handbook -- but they sure do come with expectations. In this episode, we dive into the messy, beautiful, and sometimes maddening dynamics of parenting, partnership, and power. From the invisible labor of “default parenting” to the subtle ways we martyr ourselves in relationships, we get real about what it takes to stay connected, stand up for your value, and model something better for your kids. Whether you're in the thick of raising little ones or reflecting on the long game of love, this conversation is your reminder that empowerment starts at home -- with honest talks, equal partnership, and choosing not to lose yourself in the process.   Some key takeaways from this episode include: No one can make you a martyr without your consent! Value yourself enough to say no. Equal partnerships aren't about who makes more money; they're about mutual respect and empowerment. Your kids don't remember what you say, they remember what you model. Choose wisely.  

In this week's episode, Paul Merriman shares lessons from a lifetime of investing—prompted by conversations with students, longtime collaborator Rich Buck, and questions from new investors about trust and risk.Paul dives deep into the data behind his favorite long-term strategies, including the equal-weighted S&P 500 and the classic Four-Fund Portfolio, comparing 25-year results across multiple time periods.He explains why no one can predict short-term returns, but how history can still guide your long-term strategy. Using decades of data, Paul shows how diversification across size and value has rewarded disciplined investors—even when recent performance has lagged.Referenced Tables & Data:40-Year Returns (1928–2024): S&P 500 best 12.5% / worst 8.9%25-Year Periods (1950–1974, 1975–1999, 2000–2025)Equal-Weighted S&P 500 (VADDX/RSP) vs. Cap-Weighted (VTSAX, S&P 500) DFA Small Cap Value (DFSVX and DFFVX)vs. Russell 2000 Small Cap Value (IWN)Four-Fund Portfolio (S&P 500, Large Cap Value, Small Cap Blend, Small Cap Value)Two-Fund Portfolio (S&P 500 + Small Cap Value)From 2000–2025, the S&P 500 compounded at 8.3%, while the equal-weighted version earned 9.9%, and small-cap value reached 11.1%. Paul explains why this premium persists and why patience—backed by data—is an investor's greatest advantage.Full tables and charts available at PaulMerriman.com 

This week, we went full Jurassic Park meets TED Talk with Ben Lamm, the mastermind behind Colossal Biosciences. Ben drops some never-before-answered details about the direwolf project (yes, actual direwolves), shares updates on the mammoth and dodo, and shares wild stories from the field — including what it's like meeting John Reeves in the middle of Alaska.We also get into the big stuff: what's the real goal with Colossal, how this could shake up medicine, biodiversity, and what it all means for future generations. Equal parts mind-blowing, funny, and a little existential — just another day on Unscriptify.

Text us a pool question!If you thought pool care was boring, you clearly haven't heard Sarah break it down. This week she dives headfirst into the bubbling, backwashing, beautifully chaotic world of pool chemistry — with zero filters and a full cup of caffeine. It's educational, hilarious, slightly unhinged, and 100% Sarah.She's here to make sure you understand what's really happening in that pool water — why your readings are off, why “shock” isn't a personality type, and why that weird smell isn't chlorine, it's your own bad decisions dissolving in the deep end.In this episode, Sarah covers:Why every pool pro needs to stop treating “chlorine” and “shock” like they're two different life forms.The real deal behind oxidation, sanitation, and why ORP is the pool's version of a mood ring.Test kit interferences that'll make you question your career choices.How pH, alkalinity, and sanitizer all play together (and what happens when they don't).The customer who swore their pool “cleaned itself” — and how that went.Her completely rational rage against people who eyeball chemical doses “by vibe.”Top Sarah-isms from this episode:“If your pool smells like a YMCA locker room, congratulations — you've just invented chloramines!”“It's called a test kit, not a guess kit. Stop pretending you're psychic.”“ORP doesn't measure how much you care, but it definitely shows when you don't.”“Shock is chlorine. Chlorine is shock. It's not algebra, it's pool school — and apparently, I'm the principal now.”“If I had a dollar for every time someone said ‘it looks clear so it's clean,' I'd retire and buy a pool with a lifeguard who never argues with me.”Why you'll love it: This episode is like sitting in chemistry class if your teacher had road rage and a sense of humor. Sarah explains the science in plain English — then yells about it until you'll never forget it again. Equal parts entertainment and education, it's a masterclass in chlorine and chaos.Episode Highlights:

We connect the macro to the miner. Gold at highs, BRICS hedging, and the sudden flood of stablecoin rails from Big Tech and fintech aren't random—together they outline how the U.S. could accumulate Bitcoin through balance-sheet proxies (think corporate treasuries and miners) instead of a headline-grabbing “sell gold, buy BTC.” If Bitcoin is the new reserve asset, its long-run security budget can't rely on price doubling forever or on “fees will save us.” We dig into why miners keep going bankrupt post-halvings, how AI is siphoning racks and power, what a policy path of subsidies for home nodes/miners might look like, and why that still isn't enough to keep Bitcoin credibly neutral. Enter NAT: a parallel, market-driven subsidy that pays miners without touching 21M—designed to counter deflationary hardware trends and reduce centralization pressure. We cover who would actually buy NAT (and why we want miners to sell it), the “strategic reserve via companies” thesis, and how this all fits the next 100 years of dollar rails, stablecoins, and energy. If you're a miner, dev, or serious Bitcoiner who cares about durability over vibes, this one's for you. Nothing here is financial advice. Topics:  First up, We connect the macro to the miner.

In this episode of Excess Returns, Matt Zeigler sits down with investor and author Bogumil Baranowski to discuss one of investing's most important mindset shifts: moving beyond cheap stocks to paying up for quality and exceptional opportunities. Drawing on lessons from Warren Buffett, Ben Graham, and his own journey, Bogumil explains how value investing evolves across three key phases—buying cheap, buying good, and learning to pay up. The conversation explores patience, conviction, dead money periods, family wealth stewardship, and how to think about value versus price in a noisy world.Topics covered:• The “cheapest dentist” analogy and why investors chase bargains• The three phases of investor evolution: cheap, good, and exceptional• Lessons from Buffett, Munger, and Graham on paying up for quality• How to hold through drawdowns and dead money periods• Why patience and conviction are the hardest investing skills• Frugality, compounding, and lessons from his grandmother• How long-term family investors think about wealth and stewardship• The difference between price and value in modern markets• How to know when cheap is too cheap and quality is worth paying for• Why great investments are often simple to explain• The story behind his Wall Street Journal essay “The Expensive Truth About Cheap Investments”Timestamps:00:00 Introduction – The cheapest dentist analogy03:00 Why investors love cheap stocks07:00 The evolution from bargain hunter to quality investor09:00 Examples from Ben Graham, Buffett, and Facebook15:30 Conviction, drawdowns, and dead money19:00 Judging success by business progress, not stock price27:00 Lessons from grandma on value and frugality31:00 How Buffett evolved from cheap to quality45:00 Investing for future generations49:00 Invisible wealth and stewardship52:00 The value investor dilemma58:00 Equal-weight vs market-cap indexes59:00 Lessons for the average investor1:02:00 How much research you really need1:04:30 How his WSJ essay came to life and final takeaways

So he killed one person. The Manchester synagogue attacker killed one single person and the entire western world stopped in its tracks to mourn and grieve and weep and denounce, on the same day that Israel killed at least 57 Palestinians and it was completely ignored by western politicians and media.

On this episode of “Tommy Talk,” Tommy discusses how you are so much more than the job you have. We live in a world that likes to tie our identity to our job title. Work is important, and hopefully we deeply enjoy the work that we do. But we are conditioned to think that being stretched too thin, or #TeamNoSleep is a badge of honor. The quiet and calm moments in our lives are equally as important as those job promotions or professional output. For anyone looking to separate (even just a little bit) of who you are from what you do, this episode is for you.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The world is far more peculiar than most of us dare to admit. Somewhere between a demolition derby and a wrestling ring, between the crackle of VHS tapes and the shriek of late-night public access, lies a man who has turned mayhem into meaning. On today's episode, we welcome the unparalleled and unfiltered Mad Man Pondo, a professional wrestler and author whose life has been a whirlwind of body slams, topless TV hosts, and late-night green room oddities. With a voice still rough from last night's match, he guides us into a tale of chaos, tenacity, and triumph.Mad Man Pondo—real name Kevin Canady—is not merely a character in the ring. He is a living mosaic of outrageous stories and unshakable spirit.Raised in a reserved household, he found himself drawn to the fever-pitched passion of pro wrestling his grandparents once yelled at on their living room TV. That early spark lit a fire, and he never let it go out. As he says in this episode, “My mom still has the paper I filled out in grade school that said I wanted to be a professional wrestler.” That dream, written in crayon, would become a 30-year odyssey through blood, barbed wire, and blinding spotlights.The journey to the ring was not paved with ease. Pondo describes the brutal, often humiliating, early days of wrestling school—the beatings, the busted lips, the sheer will required to prove he belonged. He tells of how many walked away, unwilling to endure it, while he pressed on. That kind of devotion would become his defining trait. When the legendary Abdullah the Butcher told him he had the talent to wrestle in Japan, Pondo drove through the night, edited his best matches on two old VCRs, and mailed the tape by sunrise. The result? Forty-three trips to the Land of the Rising Sun.But Pondo's life wasn't confined to the ring. Ever curious, ever mischievous, he created “Skull Talk,” a public access show featuring wrestling commentary and, yes, topless women sitting on his lap.Equal parts performance art and rebellion, the show sandwiched between two church broadcasts caused outrage and fandom in equal measure. “One preacher would send me scripture every week,” he laughs. “But I knew he watched every episode.” This was Pondo in his purest form—pushing boundaries, dancing at the edge of decency, and always keeping his audience on their toes.What's perhaps most impressive is his ability to weave these escapades into something strangely noble. Whether talking about riding shotgun in a demolition derby car painted with horror icons or booking outrageous guests for the Jerry Springer Show, there's a heart beneath the madness. His creation of “Girl Fight,” an all-women's wrestling promotion, is a testament to his desire to give others a platform, to share the stage, to pass the torch. He's not just fighting for himself anymore—he's built a ring where others can rise too.And then there's the book, Memoirs of a Mad Man, a wild ride through his memories, filled with stories that make you laugh, cringe, and occasionally tear up. One story he held secret for decades—a deeply personal moment with wrestling legend Junkyard Dog—was finally shared in its pages. “I thought, you know what, let's put this in there,” he says. “It was time.” In telling that story, and many others, he transformed scars into stories and chaos into legacy.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bulletproof-screenwriting-podcast--2881148/support.

Buying sub-institutional size deals entails less competition, and therefore lower prices. In the $3 - $10 million dollar range, competition is mostly local to a specific market with a buyer pool that generally doesn't include national or regional players. David Hrizak, CEO of The Streamline Companies, buys, builds and manages across various asset classes in Phoenix, the 5th largest market in the country. Over the past three years, David has focused on Class B office and Medical Office. Class B office has been a great category because most tenants can't afford Class A and don't require extravagant amenities. Medical Office is a sweet spot that correlates to the aging of our population and the growth of Health Care.

The growth and legitimization of wakeboarding in Germany cannot be tracked to one individual, but a group effort, and Momo has been at the forefront of that push for over a decade. Momo has helped get women into events like Munich Mash and has thought deeply about what equal pay and equal opportunity looks like in a sport like wakeboarding. Momo is a great example of what happens when you see the crossroads of someone who is truly a rider but also happens to have a business mindset. From working with Sesitec, Wasserski Langenfeld, and now Inside Wake, Momo is educated, well thought out, and opinionated.

This episode features a conversation with Karl Amundson and Emily Fink about their musical: Falling Forward.  Falling Forward is about Meghan, a queer 27-year-old sculpture artist who is leaving New York City, moving in with her mom in Michigan and giving up on her artistic aspirations. However, packing her apartment proves to be a noisy affair, as all of Meghan's belongings-- including a Bong, a Self-Help Book, a Vibrator, a Family Portrait, a smart-device, and more—come to life, forcing Meghan to reckon with her own role in her terrible-horrible-no-good-very-bad year. Equal parts memory play, fever-dream, generational satire, and coming-of-age story, Falling Forward follows Meghan as she teeters on the brink of change, searching for certainty in her uncertain world.  This episode features the songs “Guru Say!” performed by Karl Amundson, Emily Kristen Morris, Emily Fink, Danny White, and Kimberly Immanuel, as well as “If You're Smiling”  performed by Kimberly Immanuel, Emily Kristen Morris, Karl Amundson, Emily Fink, and Michelle Coben.  Connect with Falling Forward Instagram: @fallingforwardmusical Connect with Karl Amundson: Website: https://www.karlamundson.com/ Instagram: @karlamundson Connect with Emily Fink: Website: https://www.emilyfink.net/ Instagram: @emilycelestefink Connect with New York Theatre Barn: Twitter: @nytheatrebarn Instagram: @newyorktheatrebarn  Facebook.com/nytheatrebarn nytheatrebarn.org  Pauls's personal instagram: @paulsmacs Teresa's personal instagram: @terijoyeaux Learn more about your ad choices.

(John 1:1-5) God-Man: Why We Worship Jesus, Part 2 September 28, 2025 – Pastor Michael Nolen

Robert Henderson, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, joins Paul E. Peterson to discuss the growing political divide between men and women in the United States. Henderson's article, "The book that showed me manhood has to be created," is available now at The Boston Globe.

A Clare senator claims people with disabilities still aren't living lives "equal to those of their peers". Ennistymon Senator Martin Conway has called for debate on the National Human Rights Strategy for Disabled People 2025 to 2030, which was launched by the Government this month. It's his second contribution in Seanad Éireann since resigning from the Fine Gael parliamentary party in February of this year. Speaking in the Seanad, Senator Conway says any new strategy must ensure people with disabilities have access to the services and supports they need.

Galatians 3 has done a lot of heavy lifting in modern theology. Some say it proves everything is now “spiritual,” that Israel was folded into the church and the land promise dissolved. We open the text and ask: is that what Paul actually says? Paul's concern is rescue, not replacement. He confronts the claim that Gentiles need the works of the law to belong. By returning to Abraham, he shows that righteousness has always been by faith and that the blessing promised to the nations reaches its center in the Messiah. That's inclusion without erasure. We then trace what Galatians 3 does say - justification by faith, Gentile heirship with Abraham, the law as guardian, one body in Messiah - and what it never says: that the church is the new Israel or that Jewish identity and the land are cancelled. The result is a bigger table, not a different family. Key Takeaways Justification by faith predates Sinai; Abraham believed and was counted righteous. Gentiles are heirs with Abraham through the promised Seed, Messiah Jesus, without identity transfer to “Israel.” The law is a guardian, not a ladder; it cannot annul the earlier promise. “Neither Jew nor Greek” means equal standing, not uniform roles in redemptive history. Paul never says “the church is Israel.” Inclusion doesn't require erasing Jewish calling. The three strands remain - people, place, purpose - brought to coherence in Messiah, not collapsed by Him. Romans 9–11 safeguards Israel's ongoing calling, warning Gentiles against arrogance. Chapter Markers 00:00 Welcome & Series Setup: “Still Chosen” 03:00 Why Galatians?

In this energizing episode of Healing Is Hilarious, comedian-intuitive Rachel LaForce finishes her two-part masterclass on momentum with six practical principles to help you meet your future self - without collapsing from overwhelm. Rachel walks listeners through assessing the gap between who you are and who you want to be, why the people you love will never be perfect (and how that's fine), the myth of “doing it the right way,” and the surprisingly radical power of rest.Equal parts cultural critique and down-to-earth coaching, Rachel mixes stand-up wit with spiritual bluntness - calling out the wellness industrial complex, reclaiming main-character energy, and giving quick, usable practices you can actually do between carpool and email. Perfect for creators, busy parents, and anyone tired of staring at a vision board while procrastination quietly wins. Listen for honest confessions, zip-line-fast hard truths (“fast is an illusion”), and a practical roadmap to closing the gap and riding the wave into new rhythms of life.SUPPORT THIS PODCAST AND LEAVE A REVIEW! PRODUCED BY Skewed Orbit StudiosIG: instagram.com/healhahapodYOUTUBE: youtube.com/@therachellaforceVISIT: rachellaforce.com

Where is the line between fierce competition and compassion on the mats? Imagine the split-second decisions grapplers must make—do you trust the referee, or is it your duty to protect your opponent even at the risk of losing your match?

Busyness doesn't equal effectiveness. In fact, the busier you are, the less effective you often become. In this episode of Reflect Forward, I tackle one of the biggest leadership lies: that a full calendar equals impact. It doesn't. Busyness creates reactive leadership. Why? Because there's no time for strategy, innovation, or even pausing to ask, “Is this the right move?” Years ago, while running StoneAge, chairing a new economic development alliance, and preparing to become a mom, I hit the wall. Completely overwhelmed, I called my mom in tears. Her advice was simple: “Focus on what matters most and say no to everything else.” That moment changed how I approached leadership and life. Since then, I've learned that busyness feeds our egos, masks fear and provides false validation. We think if we're busy, we're important. But true leadership comes from clarity, presence, and creating space for ourselves and our teams. What We Explore in This Episode • The trap of busyness: Why leaders confuse activity with achievement • The real costs: Burnout, stress, and reactive decision-making • Escaping the trap: How to prioritize, delegate, say no, and protect white space • Leading by example: Why your team mirrors your busyness (and how to model intentionality instead) • Life beyond work: How less busyness creates more joy, energy, and presence Key Takeaways 1. Audit your calendar Eliminate anything that doesn't align with your top priorities. Decline meetings you don't need to attend. 2. Say no, unapologetically No is a complete sentence. Every no creates space for a bigger yes. 3. Delegate and empower Frame the why, set outcomes, then let your team lead. Growth follows when you step back. 4. Schedule white space Thinking time isn't a luxury—it's a leadership requirement. Protect it on your calendar. 5. Model intentionality for your team Normalize focus time, give space after big pushes, and encourage your people to decline low-value meetings. Mic Drop Moments • “If you're too busy to lead, you're not leading.” • “Never mistake activity for achievement.” – John Wooden • “No is a complete sentence. Use it.” • “Busy cultures are built by busy leaders—calm cultures are built by intentional leaders.” • “Every no makes room for a bigger yes.” Busyness is not a badge of honor. It's a trap that keeps us reactive and robs us of effectiveness. The best leaders create space—for clarity, for creativity, and for growth.

New coach, same look: not good

In this episode of Chocolate Chip & Sip, we're keeping it real about modern dating from a Black girl perspective. From doing you without revenge, to wifely duties beyond cooking, to why intention is sexier than endless texts — we're covering it all. Plus, we dive into the hard truth: sometimes closure is realizing they treated you exactly how they wanted to. Equal parts hilarious and heartfelt, this one's for anyone who refuses to settle.

Equal justice under the law may be a goal of our court system, but it is not a guaranteed outcome. There is no right to counsel in civil cases, making low-income tenants in Housing Court at great risk of eviction and potentially homelessness. These cases are high stakes, especially in jurisdictions where affordable housing is out of reach for most low-income individuals and families. Nationally, only 4% of tenants are represented by lawyers compared to 83% of landlords, a data point that has barely improved over the decades. In this episode of Power Station I speak with Chijioke Akemigbo, executive director of Rising Justice, a nonprofit organization whose game changing model for the provision of civil legal services is transforming the field. Rising for Justice, situated in the DC Superior Court is powered by a team of attorneys and the law students and social work students who take part in its clinical training program. These students learn not only the law but what it takes to secure justice for those who rarely feel seen or heard. Chijioke brings lived experience, empathy and a history of humanizing systems that fail those without means. Hear him!!

You'll learn: ⏱ Why tracking results, not hours, is the key to real progress

This week on Bad at Sports, Duncan MacKenzie and Ryan Peter Miller find themselves in Chicago with curator Bianca Bova and the indefatigable Kenny Schachter — artist, writer, teacher, collector, and provocateur. What begins as a conversation about Schachter's exhibition at Old Friends Gallery — featuring chicken-assisted artworks and bronze casts forged in Slovenia — quickly expands into a meditation on the art world itself. Schachter reflects on his collaborations, his obsession with foundries, and his refusal to keep resources secret. The group debates the zero-sum mentality of the art market, why artists sabotage themselves, and how absurd projects (sometimes with actual chickens) can be the most serious acts of art-making. Equal parts candid and comedic, the conversation cuts across auctions, art fairs, and the everyday realities of teaching. Expect reflections on generosity vs. gatekeeping, the fragility of the art system, and what it means to make art that is more conceptual than commercial. Highlights • Chickens as collaborators and muses. • The foundry in Slovenia that casts Rudolf Stingel's panels. • Why keeping fabricators secret is a sign of weakness. • Auctions as democratizing, even anarchic, art spaces. • The necessity of art in a divided and compassion-starved world.

After thousands of years, Michael Cohen finally snagged the Mea Culpa guest of a lifetime, the one and only God. In a wide-ranging divine conversation, Cohen and God confront America's growing epidemic of political violence after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, Trump's reckless push to federalize local police, and the escalating dangers of authoritarianism. God doesn't hold back on Trump's lies, Republican scapegoating, or the toxic weaponization of faith for political gain. From school shootings to immigration crackdowns, they explore how fear and division are tearing the country apart, and what moral lessons are being ignored in the process. Equal parts sobering and darkly funny, this episode proves that even God is worried about the state of American democracy.
