What if the safest path isn't God's path?Pastor Micah Berteau had a thriving ministry, a clear future, and every reason to stay put, including his dad's expectations. Instead, he walked away from it all to plant a church from the ground up in Fort Worth, Texas. In this honest conversation, Micah shares the hidden realities of church planting, pastoral leadership, church hurt, criticism, faith, and trusting God when the outcome isn't guaranteed.You'll also hear:* Why he chose planting over inheriting a ministry* How to leave a church the right way* The truth about church hurt and betrayal* Why hardship often shapes your calling* Building a church with nothing but faith* The Thief on the cross taught us so much * Youtubers chose to end their baby's life because of Down syndrome, Zach and Micah unpack it unapologetically.

You've spent years building your business. But what if you've already crossed the finish line — and nobody told you?Most business owners spend their entire careers trying to reach financial freedom. But there's a specific, calculable threshold — called The Freedom Point — where the net proceeds from selling your business would fund the rest of your life without financial worry. And the uncomfortable truth is: a lot of owners have already crossed it. They're still grinding, still taking on risk, still saying "five more years" — without realizing they've technically already won.In this episode, CFP® David Chudyk breaks down The Freedom Point framework, walks through the exact math to calculate yours, and explains why so many smart, successful business owners stay past it without a plan — and what that costs them.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhat The Freedom Point is — and the precise formula to calculate itWhy your business growing could actually be increasing your financial risk (not reducing it)The "4 D's" that can destroy business value overnight — and why none of them care about your timelineHow to figure out if you've already crossed your Freedom Point using a 7-step frameworkWhat your options are once you've crossed it (hint: selling isn't the only one)The three psychological traps that keep smart owners grinding past the point of financial freedomWhy "one more year" syndrome might be the most expensive story you're telling yourselfEpisode Timestamps[0:00] — Cold Open: What if you've already won?[2:00] — What is The Freedom Point?[6:00] — Meet Tim: The business owner with 80% concentration risk[11:00] — The 4 D's: Death, Disability, Divorce, Departure[15:00] — How to calculate your own Freedom Point (7-step framework)[20:00] — What to do when you've crossed the line: 4 options[24:00] — Why smart owners stay too long: Identity, One More Year Syndrome, Fear of Irrelevance[28:00] — The free tool to calculate your Freedom Point todayThe Freedom Point FormulaThe Freedom Point is reached when:(Value of Outside Investments) + (Net Proceeds from Business Sale) > (Desired Annual Income × 33)Here's how to run it yourself:Step 1: Estimate the annual income that would make you feel completely financially freeStep 2: Multiply by 33 (based on a conservative 3% withdrawal rate)Step 3: Calculate your wealth outside your business — investments, rental properties, brokerage accounts (not your primary residence)Step 4: Get a realistic business valuation estimateStep 5: Subtract the frictional cost of selling — taxes, broker commissions (~10–12%), legal fees (~2%)Step 6: Add back any long-term business debt you'd need to pay off at closingStep 7: If Steps 3 + 5 exceed Step 2, you've reached The Freedom PointExample: If you want $150,000/year of income, you need $4.95M in total investable assets. If your business would net $4M after selling costs and you have $1M outside the business — you've crossed it.The 4 D's Every Business Owner Needs to KnowThese four events can destroy business value overnight — and none of them are in your control:Divorce — Especially devastating when both spouses work in the business or when business value becomes contested in settlementDeparture — A key partner, co-founder, or critical employee leaves, triggering buy-sell agreements and operational disruptionDisability — You become unable to work; most disability policies protect income, not business valueDeath — Your beneficiaries inherit a business they don't know how to run, often resulting in forced sales at the worst possible timeWhy Smart Owners Stay Past The Freedom PointThe math alone doesn't explain why successful business owners keep grinding after they've technically won. David breaks down three psychological forces:Identity: When the business is who you are, the idea of stepping back feels like erasing yourself — not a financial decision at allOne More Year Syndrome: The goal line keeps moving. $2M becomes $3M becomes $5M. Every milestone reveals the next one. The exit that was "five years away" has been five years away for fifteen years.Fear of Irrelevance: The quiet one. Not afraid of selling — afraid of what comes after. Who are you without the title, the team, and the 8am calendar?"The biggest threat to your financial freedom isn't market risk. It's the story you're telling yourself about who you are without the business."Your Options Once You've Crossed The Freedom PointSell a Minority Stake — Take chips off the table while keeping control; often done with private equity in a minority recapitalizationSell a Majority Stake — Significant liquidity event now, keep some equity, continue running the business under new ownershipEarn-Out Exit — Full sale with a 1–3 year transition; ideal if you're ready to step back in the next three to five yearsStay and Build Around the Risk — Keep building, but do it intentionally: key person insurance, a funded buy-sell, disability coverage, and a real succession planCalculate Your Freedom Point — Free ToolDon't guess where you stand.

That's not diversification. That's concentration in a tuxedo.""One more year syndrome feels responsible. But what it often is — if we're honest — is a way of avoiding a decision you're not emotionally ready to make.""The Freedom Point isn't a feeling. It's a formula.

Will Robinson, VP of Exploration at West Red Lake Gold Mines (TSX.V:WRLG – OTCQB:WRLGF), joins me to review the key metrics returned from the updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) at the Rowan Deposit and the first numbers from the Mt Jamie deposit.  Both Rowan and Mt Jamie are satellite deposits nearby the flagship Madsen Gold Project, in the Red Lake district of Ontario, Canada.  We also discuss some of the exploration news on tap in 2026 around the Madsen Mine.   HIGHLIGHTS:   Rowan Indicated gold ounces (“oz”) increased by 70% to 334,825 oz grading 13.03 grams per tonne gold (“g/t Au”), compared to 478,707 tonnes containing 196,747 oz grading 12.78 g/t Au in the 2025 MRE. Rowan Inferred gold oz increased by 52% to 179,013 oz grading 15.31 g/t Au, compared to 421,181 tonnes containing 118,155 oz grading 8.73 g/t Au in the 2025 MRE. Gold resource grade increased by 2% in the Indicated category and 75% in the Inferred category. Significant resource growth achieved with minimal exploration expenditures of C$3.5 million and relatively low drilling meters of 6,300m, representing a modest discovery cost of approximately C$17.60/oz gold. New drilling successfully expanded and upgraded several high-grade vein structures, including Veins 003, 006 and 013. Rowan continues to rank among the highest-grade undeveloped gold deposits in Canada based on an Indicated resource grade of 13.03 g/t Au. An initial resource estimate for the Mt. Jamie deposit was also prepared which includes an Indicated resource of 49,407 oz grading 14.13 g/t Au, with an additional Inferred resource of 35,791 oz grading 11.97 g/t Au. The Mt. Jamie deposit is located approximately 2km west of Rowan and shows strong potential for becoming an additional high-grade satellite in WRLG's Red Lake portfolio which presents obvious synergies to any future extraction scenario at Rowan. Expansion potential remains strong at Rowan and Mt. Jamie with mineralization open at depth and along strike and multiple vein zones demonstrating strong continuity beyond the currently modeled mineral domains.   ROWAN 2026 MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATE:   The 2026 MRE update for Rowan incorporates an additional thirty-seven (37) holes for 6,300m of oriented HQ diamond drill core since the June 2025 MRE. A total of twenty-two (22) mineral domains were created to constrain the Rowan mineralization. This is a reduction from the twenty-six (26) domains used in the June 2025 MRE. The M&I resources from Rowan will factor into the upcoming combined PFS with Madsen A total of five (5) mineral domains were created to constrain the Mt. Jamie mineralization using drilling data in the existing database.   Will mentions that more assays are still pending from the ongoing surface drilling into the prior-producing Starratt-Olsen area; which is near-surface and adjacent to the Fork deposit.   There will be upcoming underground drilling planned along Austin 904 Zone, South Austin 4447 Zone, and the 13 East Drive drifting over into Lower Austin and eventually Derlak.     If you have any follow up questions for the team over at West Red Lake Gold please email me at  Shad@kereport.com.   Click here to visit the West Red Lake Gold website and read over the recent news we discussed.   For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

Every DSCR loan estimate looks different, and most investors have no idea why. That gap costs them thousands at the closing table.In this episode of the Chasing Financial Freedom Podcast, I break down a DSCR loan estimate box by box, Box A through Box J, with zero filter and no agenda. I show you exactly which fees your lender or broker actually controls, which ones are fixed costs of doing business, and the one shady trick some loan officers use to look cheap on paper until you're sitting at closing. After 110 deals closed in the last 24 months with only 2 lost, I've seen every version of this document, and most investors are reading it completely wrong.

Terry Harbort, President and CEO of Talisker Resources (TSX: TSK) (OTCQX:TSKFF), joins me to review the key metrics and takeaways from the 2026 Mineral Resource Estimate, along with a production and exploration update at the Mustang Mine at their 100% owned Bralorne Gold Project in British Columbia.  We also discuss the ongoing upsized 105,000 meter drill program, focused on the development towards Bralorne West and over into the Olympus Mine.   Highlights of the Bralorne Gold Project MRE:   Combined Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources are estimated at 0.72 Mt at an average grade of 8.91 g/t gold. The MRE includes Measured Mineral Resources of 21,900 oz of gold at an average grade of 10.04 g/t gold and Indicated Mineral Resources of 184,400 oz of gold at an average grade of 8.80 g/t gold. Inferred Mineral Resources are estimated at 11.23 Mt for 3,151,000 oz at an average grade of 8.73 g/t gold. A total of 141 orogenic veins that comprise the Project's vein systems were included in the MRE. The MRE is exclusive of mined out material.   The Company successfully transitioned over to shipping ore to Ocean Partners in Q1, with over 5,000 tonnes currently being crushed for shipping.  To date in 2026 (through May 12, 2026), the Company has sold 2,675 ounces of gold, consisting of 770 ounces of concentrate and 1,905 ounces of Direct Shipping Ore (DSO), derived from 6,990 tonnes of mined material with an average grade of 8.48 g/t. Based on current estimates under the Ore Purchase Agreement, the Company expects estimated net proceeds of approximately $12.7 million, net of applicable deductions and adjustments, including transportation, treatment/refining under the Ore Purchase Agreement, and subject to final settlement.   Terry outlined the areas of ramp-up in production at the Mustang Mine, currently accessing about 6 ore faces at the 1040 and 1030 levels, with the plan to eventually get down to the 1015 and 980 levels later this year. The mining has been coming from the Alhambra Vein, BK Vein, and BK-9870 Vein, with plans to also begin accessing the Brumby Vein in the next couple of months.    Development work is continuing from the main area of the Mustang Mine over towards Bralorne West, with about 150 meters to go to be able to start accessing ore faces over in that part of the deposit.    As operations continue ramping up, expanding up to 500 tpd later this year, that the plan is then to keep developing over to increase mining from more areas including from Bralorne West to increase operations to 750-1,000 tpd about 2 years out.   Then further out the initiative is to put in a second portal into the historic Pioneer mining area to access the Olympus Mine to the southeast of the Mustang Mine, moving throughput up to the eventual target of 1,500 tpd.   Additionally, we explore how the mining process will be further upgraded utilizing ore-sorting technology by Q3 of this year. This ore-sorting will allow for shipping higher-grade material, with less associated waste, making it even more economical to be shipped to Ocean Partners.    On April 21, 2026, Talisker Resources announced that the Company has increased its diamond drill program from 30,000 metres to 105,000 metres. The program will consist of 83,000 metres of resource conversion drilling at the Mustang, Bralorne West and Olympus areas and 22,000 metres of exploration drilling targeting veins at Congress and Pioneer Deeps.  Terry further unpacks the goals of this largest drill program to date at each of these areas and how this will set the company up for its growth initiatives for years to come.     If you have any follow up questions for Terry regarding Talisker Resources, then please email me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Talisker Resources at the time of this recording, and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.   Click here to follow the latest news from Talisker Resources   For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

Today's clip is from Episode 157 featuring Stefan Radev. In this conversation, Alex and Stefan dig into one of the hardest open problems in simulation-based inference — hierarchical models.The core idea: when you move from flat to hierarchical models, you're no longer estimating one set of parameters. You have local parameters that vary by location (or subject, or city) and global parameters that capture what's shared across all of them. And you don't just want each separately — you want the full joint posterior, because that's where the Bayesian magic of shrinkage actually lives.Stefan builds the problem from the ground up. Start with the simplest hierarchical case: a two-level model. He uses electoral forecasting in France as the example — cities nested inside departments nested inside the whole country.Now your simulator has to cover all three levels. If that simulator is slow (think: brain emulators, minutes per sample), scaling to hundreds of groups becomes completely intractable. Memory issues, specialized network requirements, the works.The key insight: this problem has structure you can exploit. The joint posterior factorizes in a particularly nice way — each local parameter depends on its own local data and on the global parameters. That means instead of cramming everything into one giant high-dimensional vector and hoping a neural network figures it out, you can decompose the problem. Estimate local parameters conditioned on local data and the globals. Use composition.The takeaway: hierarchical models aren't just "harder flat models" - they have a geometry that demands a different architecture. Respecting that structure is what makes amortized inference scale.Get the full discussion hereSupport & Resources→ Support the show on Patreon→ Bayesian Modeling Course (first 2 lessons free)Our theme music is « Good Bayesian », by Baba Brinkman (feat MC Lars and Mega Ran).

Power Metallic Mines CEO Terry Lynch joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an update on the company's latest high-grade drill results from the Lion Zone discovery and discuss the decision to accelerate the timeline for its maiden mineral resource estimate. Lynch highlighted several recent standout drill intercepts, including 23 metres grading 11.5% copper equivalent, describing the results as “mind blowing numbers.” He noted that the Lion Zone continues to deliver strong high-grade mineralization as the company advances what it believes could become a significant copper discovery. Due to the growing scale and value of the project, Power Metallic has moved forward its mineral resource estimate timeline. Originally targeted for the first quarter of 2027, the maiden resource estimate is now expected in July. Lynch said analysts currently estimate the project could contain between 8 million and 16 million tonnes grading between 5% and 6% copper equivalent. The company also reported encouraging metallurgical test work, with recovery rates of approximately 95%, supporting the potential economic strength of the project. Beyond the current drilling success, Power Metallic continues expanding exploration efforts across its extensive 330-square-kilometre land package. Lynch explained that the company is deploying advanced muon tomography technology alongside Ideon Technologies to help identify new subsurface targets. The AI-driven approach uses cosmic ray data to detect dense rock formations commonly associated with massive sulphide mineralization. Power Metallic plans to restart drilling in June with six drill rigs targeting the Lion Zone, Full Hinge, Elephant target, and deeper nickel-copper sulphide systems. Management said the broader exploration strategy remains focused on identifying additional discoveries across the district-scale property. #proactiveinvestors #powernickelinc #tsxv #pnpn #otcqb #cmetf #nickel #mining #invest #investing #PowerMetallicMines #MiningIndustry #PolymetallicExploration #Copper #Nickel #TSXVenture #TerryLynch #ProactiveInvestors #InstitutionalInvestment #Gold #Silver

Terry Lynch, CEO of Power Metallic Mines (TSX.V: PNPN) (OTCBB: PNPNF) (Frankfurt: IVV), joins me for another exploration update catching us up on multiple news releases from the Lion Zone as part of their fully funded 100,000-meter drill program at the polymetallic NISK Project in Quebec.  We also discuss all the pending results still at the assay lab, other key regional exploration targets of interest for 2026 drilling, and the various technology being deployed behind their drill targeting.   Additional drill holes continued to add and refine the high-grade Lion Zone ahead of the 2026 Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE). The infill drill holes in this release cover approximately 560 m down plunge extent from the core of the Lion Zone (PML-26-095) to central southwestern Lion area (PML-26-069) (Figure 1). These holes highlight both the robust near surface mineralization as well as returning the deepest high-grade intercept at Lion. These holes will be incorporated into future mineral resource estimates and highlight the potential for open pit development.   Drill hole PML-26-095 which intersected the interpreted core of the Lion Zone with wide intersections of high-grade copper near surface with 22.00 m @ 11.46% CuEqRec including 6.50 m @ 18.59% CuEqRec and including 4.00 m @18.62% CuEqRec   Drill hole PML-26-094 which intersected the interpreted core of the Lion Zone and adds further support to wide intersections of high-grade copper near surface with 17.45 m @ 9.47% CuEqRec1 including 6.30 m @ 17.91% CuEqRec.   Drill hole PML-26-101 tested the zone approximately 100 m east of PML-26-094 at a slightly deeper vertical depth and contained high grade over a very wide intersection with 39.00 m @ 5.66% CuEqRec1 including 9.20 m @ 15.18% CuEqRec1.   The exploration team will be back to drilling again in June with six-rig drill program focused on expanding the mineralized around the Lion Zone both stepping out looking for other broad mineralized zones, and also testing the depth testing the potential “Elephant Zone,” at the Tiger Deep Zone and  at Lion West. Additionally, new polymetallic targets are being tested in fan holes at the Hydro Fold-Hinge Zone, which will utilize borehole EM technology.  There will also be the utilization of Muon tomography interpreting cosmic rays through rock density to focus on broad mineralized potential in the 5km corridor and “Gap Area” between Lion and NISK Main.    There are still about 7,000 meters of core being processed at the lab, from 30 holes drilled, with a steady string of drill results coming back in over the next few months.

John Miniotis, President and CEO of AbraSilver Resource Corp (TSX: ABRA) (OTCQX: ABBRF), joins me to review the news out May 6th, announcing the updated Mineral Resource estimate (“MRE”) on the Company's wholly owned Diablillos property in Argentina. We also discuss the news out April 27, 2026 which announced that AbraSilver has received approval of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)  {“Declaración de Impacto Ambiental” or “DIA”} from the Government of Salta Province in Argentina.   The updated MRE demonstrates significant growth across the Project, with Measured & Indicated (“M&I”) resources now totaling 232 million tonnes (“Mt”), containing approximately 248 million ounces (“Moz”) of silver and 2.54 Moz of gold (454 Moz silver-equivalent “AgEq”). The contained metal in M&I has increased by a substantial 25% for silver, 48% for gold and 30% for silver-equivalent since the prior mineral resource estimate (the “Prior MRE”) from July 2025.   The updated MRE incorporates approximately 13,270 metres (“m”) of additional drilling completed since the Prior MRE, bringing the total drilling database at Diablillos to over 170,000 m. The estimate includes mineralization amenable to tank or heap leach processing routes and reflects continued growth across all five deposits at Diablillos - Oculto, JAC, Fantasma, Laderas and Sombra.   We also discussed the upcoming catalysts of the updated, Definitive Feasibility Study (“DFS”), due out here in Q2, followed by a construction decision, and then a string of results to come from the ongoing Phase 6 Exploration Program for the balance of 2026.   At Oculto East, the first drill holes of the Phase VI campaign have further demonstrated the scale and continuity of the overall mineralized system. Follow-up drilling is underway as part of an extensive program to expand and define gold-silver mineralization several hundred metres east of the open pit margin. There will also be the ongoing Phase 6 exploration program expanding the deposit size and resources for the balance of the year, mostly at Oculto East and Oculto NorthEast, but with some holes at JAC, Cerro Viejo, and now other follow-up targets at Condoryacu.      If you have any follow up questions for John regarding at AbraSilver, then please email them into me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of AbraSilver Resource Corp at the time of this recording and may choose to buy or sell more shares at any time.   Click here to visit the AbraSilver website and read over the most recent news releases.     For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

Prosecutors say they can try a first-degree murder and aggravated sexual abuse case in seven days. The accused is sixteen years old. The victim was his eighteen-year-old stepsister. Her body was found concealed aboard a cruise ship. The surveillance reportedly shows no one else entered or exited the cabin. And the defense team — rather than fighting the adult transfer — requested it themselves, entered a plea without their client present, and is now pushing for the same judge who released him months ago to keep him free. Former prosecutor and defense attorney Eric Faddis looks at that seven-day estimate and asks the question that matters — does that timeline tell you this case is locked, or does it tell you prosecutors are working with a narrower evidence set than the charges suggest?Anna Kepner was on a family cruise aboard the Carnival Horizon when she was allegedly killed inside her stateroom by her stepbrother, Timothy Hudson. The medical examiner ruled mechanical asphyxiation. Bruising on her neck was reportedly consistent with an arm held across it. Her body was found wrapped in a blanket, concealed under a bed beneath life jackets. Her fourteen-year-old brother reportedly heard yelling and violent sounds from the locked cabin the night before.Hudson has pled not guilty. He is currently on pre-trial release under GPS monitoring, living with a relative, and recently authorized to work at his biological father's landscaping business. Prosecutors have moved to revoke his release. Anna's father has publicly expressed deep concern that Hudson remains free.Faddis breaks down the defense posture piece by piece — what requesting the adult transfer signals, what filing a plea without the defendant present communicates to the court, and what it means strategically to seek the same judge who already ruled in your favor once. He examines the cellphone data extraction from a device identified as "C.K." — not the accused's phone — and what it reveals about how far this investigation reached into the victim's own family.Hudson's mother told a court hearing that her son "keeps repeating over and over he can't remember anything" and confirmed he had not taken his insomnia medication for two nights on the cruise. Faddis explains what that memory claim sets up as a potential defense theory and whether a seven-day trial gives either side enough room to fight over it.All individuals discussed are presumed innocent until proven guilty.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Terry Harbort, President and CEO of Talisker Resources (TSX: TSK) (OTCQX:TSKFF), joins us for an production and exploration update at the Mustang Mine, to outline the development towards Bralorne West and over at Olympus, the recently announced 105,000 meter drill program, and to review the work going into the upcoming Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) and Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) at their 100% owned Bralorne Gold Project in British Columbia.   Terry outlined the areas of ramp-up in production at the Mustang Mine, currently accessing about 6 ore faces at the 1040 and 1030 levels, with the plan to eventually get down to the 1015 and 980 levels later this year. The mining has been coming from the Alhambra Vein, BK Vein, and BK-9870 Vein, with plans to also begin accessing the Brumbie Vein in the next couple of months.   The Company has successfully transitioned over to shipping ore to Ocean Partners in Q1, with over 5,000 tonnes currently being crushed, and market updates on gold payables slated for the next couple of weeks.   Development work is continuing from the main area of the Mustang Mine over towards Bralorne West, with about 150 meters to go to be able to start accessing ore faces over in that part of the deposit.    As operations continue ramping up, expanding up to 500 tpd later this year, that the plan is then to keep developing over to increase mining from more areas including from Bralorne West to increase operations to 750-1,000 tpd about 2 years out.   Then further out the initiative is to put in a second portal into the historic Pioneer mining area to access the Olympus Mine to the southeast of the Mustang Mine, moving throughput up to the eventual target of 1,500 tpd.   Additionally, we explore how the mining process will be further upgraded utilizing ore-sorting technology by Q3 of this year. This ore-sorting will allow for shipping higher-grade material, with less associated waste, making it even more economical to be shipped to Ocean Partners.   All 2025 diamond drilling assays have now been received and are being incorporated into the vein model wireframes, which will feed into the upcoming resource estimate and Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA). Talisker has engaged SGS Canada Inc. to complete a National Instrument 43-101 compliant Technical Report incorporating a Mineral Resource Estimate and the PEA for the Bralorne Gold Project. The MRE is targeted for Q2, and will update the estimate in the Company's current Technical Report (completed in 2023) and incorporate an additional 138 drill holes (representing 31,093m of drill core), as well as the depletion of areas already mined by Talisker at the Mustang Mine in 2025. In addition, Talisker has engaged third-party consultants to complete studies regarding mining, infrastructure, process, capital and operation costs, as well as economic studies. The information from these studies will be provided to SGS for review and incorporation in the PEA, expected to be completed during Q3 2026.   On April 21, 2026, Talisker Resources announced that the Company has increased its diamond drill program from 30,000 metres to 105,000 metres. The program will consist of 83,000 metres of resource conversion drilling at the Mustang, Bralorne West and Olympus areas and 22,000 metres of exploration drilling targeting veins at Congress and Pioneer Deeps.  Terry further unpacks the goals of this largest drill program to date at each of these areas and how this will set the company up for its growth initiatives for years to come.   If you have any follow up questions for Terry regarding Talisker Resources, then please email me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Talisker Resources at the time of this recording, and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.    Click here to follow the latest news from Talisker Resources     For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

On Monday Q2 Metals announces inferred mineral resource estimate on the cisco lithium project with 295 million tonnes grading 1.36% Li2O. Mining Stock Daily spoke to Alicia Milne, Q2 President & CEO, on Wednesday. The company said that the resource's size and grade position it among the top hard rock lithium projects, globally. Q2 Metals is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on the Cisco Lithium Project, located within the greater Nemaska traditional territory of the Eeyou Istchee, James Bay region of Quebec, Canada. The Cisco deposit is 6.5 km from the Billy Diamond Highway, which leads to rail facilities in the Town of Matagami, ~150 km to the south and deep sea ports beyond.

Every public company's R&D number is a lie hiding in plain sight. Not because anyone falsified it. Because the number was never built to tell the truth. It was built to satisfy an accounting standard written in 1974. And for fifty years, boards, analysts, and CEOs have been making billion-dollar innovation decisions based on a number designed by accountants to solve a different problem entirely. Here's what makes this genuinely strange. The real number exists. The government has been collecting it from every major US company for decades. It would answer the question every innovation leader and investor actually needs answered. And it is locked away by federal law. Confidential. Never published. Never seen by the people who need it most. It's sitting in a federal database right now. And there's a way to estimate it for any public company, without asking anyone's permission. I know it exists because I spent years building it from the inside. Why the R&D Signal Was Blurry When I was running innovation at HP, we discovered this problem firsthand. We had a connection between R&D investment and gross margin that held up across decades of HP history. Better than anything Wall Street was using. But the signal was blurry. None of us could figure out why. The answer came from a question someone on the team asked almost as an aside. What if R&D isn't one thing? Research and Development Are Not the Same Thing Think about what actually lives inside a typical R&D budget. There's a team somewhere investigating whether a new approach could enable a capability that doesn't exist yet. No product defined. No spec written. Asking whether something is even possible. And there's a team building the next version of a product that ships in eighteen months. Spec locked. Timeline set. Engineering executing against a defined target. Both show up on the same line in the budget. Both get called R&D. Both count equally toward the number that gets reviewed every quarter. They are not the same thing. One is Research. The other is Development. Research is the work you do when you don't yet know what you're building. The output is understanding. New knowledge that might enable future products nobody has designed yet. You can't know exactly what you'll find. If you already knew, it wouldn't be research. Development is the work you do when you know exactly what you're building. The spec exists. The product is defined. The question isn't what to make. It's whether it can be made, on time, at cost, at quality. One creates the future. The other delivers the present. And for fifty years, every public company in America has been required to report them as one indistinguishable number. When we split the HP data along that line, Research on one side and Development on the other, the signal sharpened immediately. Research spend, measured against gross margin three to five years later, was a meaningfully stronger predictor than the combined number had ever been. The blur hadn't been in the gross margin data. It had been in the R&D number itself. Two fundamentally different things, averaged together, producing a number that looked precise and predicted almost nothing. But splitting R from D at the company level was only the beginning. The model was still lying to us. Just more quietly. Why Company-Level R&D Splits Still Mislead Even with the split, something was still soft. HP wasn't one business. It was dozens. Printers, PCs, servers, software, each running on different timelines, different technology cycles, different competitive dynamics. What if the R/D split meant something different depending on where it was applied? We pushed it to the product line level. Then further, to the platform level within product lines. Printers were the clearest example. HP's printer business wasn't one story. There were platforms built on established technology. Mature ink systems, proven print head chemistry, products that had been shipping for years. And there were platforms built on genuinely new core technology. New chemistry. New mechanisms. New approaches to fundamental problems that nobody had solved yet. Research investment by platform told a completely different story than Research investment by product category. The Research going into new technology platforms had a completely different relationship to future margin than Research going into mature platforms. Different time horizons. Different risk profiles. Different margin implications years down the road. Laptops told the same story. A traditional consumer laptop line and a high-performance portable workstation weren't the same investment. One was Development-heavy. Defined product, known market, engineering executing against spec. The other had genuine Research behind it. Unsolved thermal problems, new form factor constraints, and materials questions that hadn't been answered yet. When a single R&D assumption is applied across all of that, treating every dollar the same regardless of what it actually does, the signal disappears into the average. Peanut butter across the portfolio. The model only got honest when it got specific. Research by platform and Development by platform, matched against the margin performance of those specific platforms years later. Which platforms were building future margin? Which ones were running on margin that past Research had already bought? We could see it because we were inside the company. The question is whether anyone on the outside could ever see the same thing. The R&D Data the Government Collects and Won't Release Outside the internal budget process, everyone sees the same thing: a single line on the income statement. The US government recognized decades ago that the combined R&D number was analytically useless. So they built a system to collect the real one. The National Science Foundation runs a survey called the Business Enterprise Research and Development survey. The BERD survey. Every year, roughly 47,500 US companies are required to report their R&D spending broken into three categories: basic research, applied research, and experimental development. The split that every board and every investor needs to see. Mandatory. Collected. Verified. And then locked away. The firm-level data is confidential under federal law. The NSF publishes only industry-level aggregates. So every company fills out this survey and reports its real R/D split to the government. That data sits in a federal database. And the boards, investors, and analysts who need it most cannot access it. Researchers at Northwestern and Boston University were given rare access to that confidential data. What they found is striking. When companies face financial pressure and cut R&D, they don't cut Development. They cut Research. Almost entirely. Development barely moves. Every earnings squeeze. Every activist campaign. Every cost optimization program. Systematically targeting the one part of R&D that builds future margin. And because the combined number barely moves, nobody on the outside sees it happening. That's not a coincidence. That's the accounting standard doing exactly what it was designed to do: produce one clean number for the income statement. It was never asked to protect the future. How to Estimate the Research-to-Development Split Without Inside Access So what can actually be done without access to the locked data? More than most people realize. Step 1. Find the industry baseline. The aggregate BERD data is public at the sector level. Ask an AI tool for the Research-to-Development ratio for the relevant industry. That's the benchmark. Everything else gets measured against it. A company spending 8% of its R&D on Research in an industry where the average is 25% is telling you something the combined number never would. Step 2. Look at the gross margin trend compared to peers. Gross margin over time is the most honest external signal of Research health. A company with a declining margin relative to peers, while reporting flat or growing R&D spend, is almost certainly shifting the mix toward Development. The math works in the other direction, too. An AI tool can pull this comparison for any public company in minutes. This is exactly the signal that was invisible at HP until it was too late. Step 3. Look at patent trends compared to peers over time. Patents are an imperfect but useful directional indicator. Not because more patents always means more Research. It doesn't. But a sustained decline in patent output relative to peers, alongside flat R&D spend, suggests the investment is maintaining existing products rather than creating new knowledge. Combined with the gross margin trend, it starts to triangulate where the split actually sits. None of these three steps requires access to an internal budget. All of them can be done in an afternoon with public data and an AI tool. Together, they produce a working picture of the R/D split that the income statement was never designed to reveal. What the R&D Split Revealed at HP That No One Outside Could See When Hurd took over in 2005, HP was spending $3.5 billion on R&D. Roughly 4% of revenue. By 2009, his last full year as CEO, that had dropped to $2.8 billion. Revenue had grown significantly over that period, so the percentage had fallen further still, to under 2.5%. Both the dollar amount and the ratio were declining simultaneously while the company got larger. Wall Street tracked the combined number. The board reviewed it. Nobody raised a structural alarm. The Research component within that total was well below the industry average for comparable technology companies. Not slightly. Significantly. The margin consequences arrived years later. They always do. What Happens When the Definition of Research Doesn't Exist The R/D split gave us a real predictive signal. We ran with it. The conversations were sharper. But the team kept pulling on a thread that nobody expected. When we looked closely at what was actually being called Research, project by project and budget line by budget line, things that didn't feel the same kept appearing. Work aimed at fundamental discovery. Work aimed at solving a specific defined problem using entirely new methods. Both labeled Research. Up close, they behaved differently, predicted different things, and when budgets got tight, got treated very differently. So we went looking for the agreed definition. The official standard that would tell exactly where to draw the lines inside Research. It didn't exist. Not the way we needed it to. And without it, everything we'd built was sitting on sand. How do you build a predictive model on a definition that doesn't exist? That's the next episode. If this helped you see something you might have missed, subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts.

On Friday Seabridge Gold said it received a letter from the Ministry of Mining and Critical Minerals of British Columbia advising that a decision to issue permit amendments for construction and operation of the Mitchell Treaty Tunnels (MTT) over their full length has been delayed. Chair and CEO Rudi Fronk spoke to Mining Stock Daily . Seabridge Gold's resource base of gold, copper and silver is one of the world's largest. In 2024 Seabridge Gold's KSM projects in Northwestern B.C. was granted "substantially started" designation by the B.C. government.

The government paid an estimated $4.5 billion for federal employees not to work under the deferred resignation offer last year.

Minneapolis is considering a city income tax to address its lower per capita tax revenue compared to similar metropolitan areas. A recent report suggests diversifying the city's revenue base, which currently relies heavily on property taxes, which have declined recently. The Minneapolis Board of Estimate and Taxation will review the report, which proposes 12 revenue-generating strategies. The report also urges improved tax collection methods. The potential new tax aims to boost the city's financial standing and address discrepancies compared to other cities. Residents and businesses should prepare for possible changes in the city's tax structure. It is important to improve our tax collection methods rather than add new taxes.

A downgrade to fourth quarter GDP. AP correspondent Mike Hempen reports.

Frank Callaghan, President and CEO of Golden Cariboo Resources Ltd.  (CSE:GCC) (OTC:GCCFF), joins me for an exploration update on the first 28 drill holes completed, and the 29th hole ready to be drilled imminently. Stepout drill has been extending the mineralization and strike length beyond the Halo Zone, located at their flagship Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine, in the Cariboo Mining District of British Columbia.  The immediate workstreams are to compile all this drilling data, in combination with some historic drill holes, into an upcoming Maiden Resource Estimate, targeted to come out later in the month of May.   We start off having Frank outline the broad bulk-tonnage style of mineralization coming back from the prior assays returned, when stepping out from the Halo Zone; and why these large disseminated gold systems can become some of the largest producing gold mines.   This large project footprint and continuity of the broad intercepts of mineralization is what will allow the Company to put out the maiden resource estimate in about a month's time.   On March 25, 2026 Golden Cariboo Resources announced that drill hole QGQ25-28 was completed on March 19, 2026 to a total length of 754.69 m (2,476 ft), ending in mineralization approximately 12 m (39.37 ft) from Osisko Development Corp.'s claim boundary. The end of drill hole QGQ25-28 is located approximately 283 m (928.48 ft) beyond the end of drill hole QGQ25-25, which also ended in mineralization.   Next we discuss how all 28 holes drilled to date have hit gold mineralization and how their geologists have really come to a good understanding of the mineralization and have vectored in on exploring for gold at the greenstone belt contact zone at their Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine.   Much of the drilling has been testing the approximately 2-3km area between the Main Zone and Halo Zone and straddling Hixon Creek.  One drill will be turning doing large step-outs and extending the strike length of the mineralized trend. There is a strong geophysical signature helping out with drill targeting, that also extends on to their neighbor's land package at Osisko Development.   Next we got into the recent acquisition of the 13 cells of placer claims at the Halo zone; which when combined with past staking around their main property, has brought the new total land position up to around 95,000 hectacres (~235,000 acres) held by the Company, and now making it the third largest claim holder in the Cariboo Gold District.    We wrap up with potential rerating the company could get once their initial resource estimate is out and digested by the market.  With regards capital on hand, they announced a modest raise in late March to get them to this key upcoming milestone, where they believe more institutional interest will be coming in to assist with funding the next phase of exploration and project derisking.   If you have any questions for Frank regarding Golden Cariboo, then please email them into me at Shad@kereport.com.   Click here to follow the latest news from Golden Cariboo Resources   For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

This month Q2 Metals plans to announce its mineral resource estimate for its Cisco lithium project in Quebec, says Alicia Milne, CEO, president and director, in an interview with Mining Stock Daily. Recent exploration yielded significant intercepts, including one drill hole that returned 457.4 meters at 1.65% Li2O. The company is targeting an initial preliminary economic assessment by the fourth quarter of 2026.

In this episode of Storage Wins, Alex Pardo and Dan Wentzel walk through the current state of Dan's deal pipeline, including one opportunity that's verbally accepted and moving toward contract, and another that requires deeper analysis to determine if it's actually worth pursuing.   As the conversation unfolds, Alex highlights the importance of clarity—specifically having a defined Buy Box Blueprint—and how that clarity allows Dan to quickly identify when a deal fits his long-term goals versus when it should be positioned as a wholesale opportunity. This distinction becomes critical as they break down a deal that looks promising on the surface but reveals challenges when you evaluate the market, demographics, and income potential.   They also dive into real-world execution: managing sellers who operate "old school," staying consistent with communication, learning from small mistakes, and continuing to stack wins through daily action. The episode closes with a deeper look at deal valuation, cap rates, and how to approach sellers with unrealistic expectations—setting the stage for creative deal structuring in the next episode.   You'll Learn How To: Define your buy box so you stop forcing deals that don't fit your goals Identify when a deal should be wholesaled instead of held Analyze rural markets and spot red flags in demographics Estimate deal value using quick NOI and cap rate calculations Handle sellers with unrealistic price expectations Use consistent communication to keep deals moving forward   What You'll Learn in This Episode:   [0:00] Recap of Dan's progress and current position in the journey [2:18] Wins stacking up: VA lead flow, increased outreach, and offers [5:10] How underwriting deals for others improves your skillset [8:08] Viewing deals through multiple lenses to create opportunity [11:39] Lessons learned from sending a contract to the wrong address [13:20] How to work with sellers who don't use email [16:09] Why this deal is being considered as a wholesale opportunity [17:14] The importance of having a clearly defined buy box [20:04] Why consistent seller communication is critical [21:03] Breakdown of a 66-unit deal with below-market rents [22:18] How to identify an unsophisticated operator [26:02] Evaluating pros and cons of a rural storage market [30:22] Back-of-the-napkin math to estimate NOI [36:30] Using cap rates to determine offer ranges [40:07] Navigating unrealistic seller expectations [42:11] Structuring creative terms to make deals work   Who This Episode Is For: Investors actively working toward their first self-storage deal Listeners evaluating multiple deals and unsure which to pursue Anyone struggling to determine what makes a "good" deal Entrepreneurs looking to improve decision-making and deal analysis   Why You Should Listen:   Momentum in real estate isn't just about finding deals—it's about knowing what to do with them.   This episode shows how clarity, consistency, and better analysis lead to smarter decisions. Not every deal is meant to be owned, and not every opportunity fits your goals—but when you understand how to evaluate and structure deals properly, you create more paths to win.   If you're in the phase of taking action, analyzing deals, and trying to figure out what actually makes sense, this conversation will help you think more strategically and move forward with confidence.   Follow Alex Pardo here: Alex Pardo Website: https://alexpardo.com/ Alex Pardo Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/alexpardo15 Alex Pardo Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexpardo25 Alex Pardo YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AlexPardo Storage Wins Website: https://storagewins.com/     ⸻   Have conversations with at least three storage owners, brokers, private lenders, or equity partners inside the Storage Wins Facebook Group.

The Pentagon's ambitious “Golden Dome” missile defense system is getting more expensive. New estimates from the Defense Department put the price tag at $185 billion; that's $10 billion more than the president originally said it would cost. But some analysts say the new estimate is no more believable than the president's initial price tag. Federal News Network's Anastasia Obis has more.

In the last episode, I discussed seven mistakes to avoid when filing your 2025 taxes. So in this episode, I'm going to discuss the tax-filing mistakes people can make when filing an extension. Here are the four most common extension errors that could cost you money, including misconceptions about payment deadlines, underestimating taxes, and the importance of understanding state-specific extension rules.  You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... [00:00] Mistakes that people can make if they're filing an extension [01:41] Importance of filing for an extension by the tax deadline [02:35] Distinction between failure-to-file and failure-to-pay penalties [03:53] Suggestions for estimating: using last year's tax return, factoring in income changes, or major events [06:09] Importance of reviewing and complying with state-specific deadlines and requirements [08:21] Filing an extension buys time for accuracy but doesn't delay payment obligations   Avoiding Common Tax Extension Mistakes Tax season is a stressful time for many, and for those with complex finances, business obligations, or unexpected circumstances, filing a tax extension may seem like a wise solution. These are the four biggest mistakes people make when filing a tax extension, along with my practical tips to avoid penalties and unnecessary stress.    Notifying the IRS The first—and perhaps most critical—mistake is assuming that wanting more time is enough. Extensions aren't automatic; they require formally notifying the IRS by filing Form 4868 by the standard tax deadline, usually April 15th. Without this key step, the IRS will consider your return late, resulting in penalties. If nothing else, mark this on your tax checklist: file Form 4868 on time, every time.   Extension to File Isn't Extension to Pay A widespread misconception is that an extension grants extra time to pay taxes due. Only your paperwork deadline shifts, your payment due date does not. Any unpaid federal taxes accrue interest from the original deadline, and failure-to-pay penalties start after April 15th. In fact, failing to file entirely triggers even steeper penalties. Estimate your tax liability and pay what you owe, even if you're still finalizing the details. Overestimating is safer, as any excess will be refunded after you fill it in.   The Hidden Danger of Inaccurate Estimates Filing an extension isn't a hall pass to put off financial reckoning. You're still required to estimate how much you owe—a process that can trip up those who experienced income changes, investment gains, asset sales, or one-time distributions. The IRS expects most to pay either 90% of their current-year tax liability or 100% of last year's taxes (110% for high earners with AGI over $150,000) by the deadline to avoid penalties. Miss these benchmarks, and you could face interest or underpayment penalties—even if you settle up once you eventually file. Review your prior year's return and factor in any unusual income for the year. If in doubt, partner with a tax professional or use IRS Form 1040-ES for guidance.   Don't Overlook State Tax Extension Rules One major mistake is forgetting—or not knowing—that state tax extension rules often differ from the IRS. Some states, like Connecticut, sync with federal extensions only if you owe nothing additional; if you do, you'll need to file a state-specific extension. New York requires its own extension form, and most states expect payment by their deadline, regardless of a federal extension. Double-check your state tax agency's website or contact a professional. Often, a separate state extension is mandatory, and missing this step can come with its own set of penalties.   Plan for a Stress-Free Tax Extension Filing a tax extension can buy valuable time, but it's not a financial "pause" button. Always file Form 4868 (and any state-specific forms) on time. Pay the lesser of 90% of current-year or 100% (or 110% for high earners) of last year's tax by the April deadline, and study your state's requirements—federal rules don't always apply. Being proactive can save you hundreds (or thousands) in penalties and give you the space to file correctly and confidently later in the year.   Resources Mentioned IRS Form 1040-ES IRS Form 4868 Retirement Readiness Review Subscribe to the Retire with Ryan YouTube Channel Download my entire book for FREE    Connect With Morrissey Wealth Management  www.MorrisseyWealthManagement.com/contact Subscribe to Retire With Ryan

You priced the job. You won the job. And somewhere in the middle of it, you realized you forgot to price something.   Not the whole thing — just one line item. A fence panel that has to come down. A disposal run nobody counted. A gate too narrow for your equipment.   And now it's coming out of your pocket.   This episode is about why that keeps happening — and what one simple habit fixes it. Scott breaks down the job site evaluation checklist he uses in his own business: what to look for during every site walk, where landscapers most often lose money without realizing it, and why the most experienced contractors in the world still use a checklist every time.   You'll also get the actual hardscape job site evaluation form — free in the show notes — so you can start using it on your next estimate.   If you've ever finished a job and thought "I should've priced that differently," this one's for you.   What's covered: Why estimating from memory works until it costs you Site access mistakes that quietly kill your margin Hidden costs most landscapers walk right past How to document the site so you're protected if something comes up Why this system matters even more the moment you start sending other people out to estimate   Free download: Hardscape Job Site Evaluation Form here: https://mdl.coach/siteevaluation   Follow Million Dollar Landscaper: Website | Facebook | Instagram | YouTube
