Is investing ethical? Can you build wealth, pursue financial independence, and still invest according to your values? Scott and Mindy tackle one of the biggest questions in personal finance, exploring ethical investing, ESG investing, capitalism, index funds, and the moral trade-offs that come with building long-term wealth. They discuss whether investing in companies like Tesla, Costco, or tobacco companies can ever be ethical and how to think critically about aligning your portfolio with your beliefs. The conversation also examines whether pursuing financial independence is itself an ethical goal.

This is a Vintage episode from 2006.Jay Weinstein, author of The Ethical Gourmet, explains how everyday food choices affect farmers, animals, workers, the environment—and what ultimately ends up on the plate.Why This Episode MattersWhy inexpensive food may carry environmental and taxpayer-funded costs that are hidden from shoppersHow farm subsidies can favor industrial agriculture over smaller farmsWhy ethical production and better flavor often meet at the same farmPractical ways to buy more responsibly without attempting dietary sainthoodThe enduring value of local farms, CSAs, seasonal produce, and preserving food at its peakBanterMark and Francis begin with an important distinction: a cookout is not necessarily barbecue. From college pig roasts that finished around 2:00 a.m. to whole-hog dining in Manhattan, the conversation becomes a loving tribute to smoke, pork, poor planning, and the dangerous optimism of hungry men.The ConversationJay Weinstein joins the show to discuss The Ethical Gourmet and the confusion surrounding terms such as organic, natural, local, humane, and sustainable. He argues that diners do not need to solve every problem in the food system; even switching to products such as organic dairy and eggs can support better farming practices. The discussion examines the hidden costs of inexpensive food, including agricultural subsidies, petroleum-based fertilizers, industrial production, and the pressure placed on smaller farms. Jay, Mark, and Francis also explore whether ethically raised food necessarily tastes better, agreeing that the difference becomes especially clear with well-raised chicken, meat, eggs, and ripe seasonal produce. The conversation closes with local farms, CSAs, preserving tomatoes and fruit, and one essential summer commandment: do not refrigerate a good tomato.Timestamps0:00 Cookouts, real barbecue, and the hazards of roasting a whole pig7:25 Jay Weinstein and the idea behind The Ethical Gourmet10:25 One simple ethical food choice anyone can make16:35 Can ordinary families afford ethically produced food?19:00 The hidden costs of cheap food and agricultural subsidies24:00 Local farms, CSAs, seasonal produce, and preserving the harvest31:00 Why good tomatoes should never be refrigeratedBioJay Weinstein is a chef, journalist, and author of The Ethical Gourmet.

Many people would say that America was founded on Judeo-Christian principles that ought to bring a set of ethics into our public life.

Yann Guignon embodies a rare path, at the crossroads of worlds and histories. Franco-Gabonese by adoption—under the guidance of Professor Jean Noël Gassita—and by marriage, he has spent over two decades building a unique bridge between Africa and the West, between living traditions and modernity. His commitment began in 2004, when he entered an initiatory journey within several Gabonese rites. Initiated into Bwiti in 2006, he gradually developed a deep relationship with traditional knowledge holders. Over the years, this involvement led to his recognition as a guardian of tradition, and to his appointment as International Ambassador of the Association Maghanga Ma Nzambé, an organization dedicated to preserving and transmitting Gabonese traditional medicine. But his journey goes far beyond a personal quest. As a consultant in intercultural mediation and sustainable development, he is actively engaged in addressing a deeper issue: the need to repair the imbalances inherited from the colonial history between the West and Africa. His approach is grounded in a strong conviction: traditional knowledge systems are neither archaic nor folkloric—they are fully-fledged systems of knowledge that must be recognized, protected, and fairly valued. As scientific and industrial interest in iboga and ibogaine continues to grow, he was among the first to raise concerns about potential risks: knowledge extraction, marginalization of traditional communities, and unequal distribution of value. Where others see a market, he sees responsibility. He went on to found Blessings of the Forest, an NGO dedicated to the conservation of Gabon's cultural and natural heritage. Through this work, he strives to build concrete bridges between local communities, institutions, and international stakeholders, advocating for models based on equity, reciprocity, and respect for international frameworks such as the Nagoya Protocol. Both in the field and on the international stage, he carries a distinct voice—that of a mediator, at once witness, actor, and bridge-builder. A voice that reminds us that behind every molecule studied, there is a story, a culture, and communities that must not be rendered invisible. Episode Highlights ▶ The history and origin of Iboga in Gabon ▶ Cultural practices and rules around Iboga and Bwiti ▶ Challenges of Western commercialization and misappropriation ▶ Conservation efforts and the Nagoya Protocol ▶ The role of community-led initiatives like Blessings of the Forest ▶ Risks and safety in the use of Iboga and Ibogaine ▶ The spiritual and symbolic significance of visions and dreams in Gabonese tradition ▶ The importance of working with trained practitioners and respecting indigenous protocols Pam Montgomery's Links & Resources ▶ Free gift: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPiVd9NpM7Q ▶ http://www.blessingsoftheforest.org/ ▶ https://www.facebook.com/yguignon ▶ https://www.facebook.com/BlessingsOfTheForest ▶ https://www.instagram.com/blessingsoftheforest/ ▶ https://www.tiktok.com/@botfgabon   Join Beth for her all new LIVE 3-Part Masterclass + Hot Seat Coaching, Clear Path to Aligned Abundance: https://go.bethaweinstein.com/clear-path-abundance/ (PAY WHAT YOU WISH) Download Beth's free trainings here:  Clarity to Clients: Start & Grow a Transformational Coaching, Healing, Spiritual, or Psychedelic Business:  https://bethaweinstein.com/grow-your-spiritual-business Integrating Psychedelics & Sacred Medicines Into Business: https://bethaweinstein.com/psychedelics-in-business ▶ Beth's Coaching & Guidance: https://bethaweinstein.com/coaching  ▶ Beth's Offerings & Courses: https://bethaweinstein.com/services ▶ Instagram:  @bethaweinstein  ▶ FB: / bethw.nyc + bethweinsteinbiz  Download Beth's free trainings here: Clarity to Clients: Start & Grow a Transformational Coaching, Healing, Spiritual, or Psychedelic Business: https://bethaweinstein.com/grow-your-spiritual-businessIntegrating Psychedelics & Sacred Medicines Into Business: https://bethaweinstein.com/psychedelics-in-business▶ Beth's Coaching & Guidance: https://bethaweinstein.com/coaching ▶ Beth's Offerings & Courses: https://bethaweinstein.com/services▶ Instagram: @bethaweinstein ▶ FB: / bethw.nyc + bethweinsteinbiz

Many people would say that America was founded on Judeo-Christian principles that ought to bring a set of ethics into our public life. But today's political environment seems to be one where ethics are lacking. This episode of Giving Ventures explores the Ethics and Public Policy Center, a conservative think tank that incorporates the Judeo-Christian cultural aspect into its thinking about public policy. EPPC has been around for 50 years and has remained a prominent voice on the right as American culture and politics has continued to evolve over the past half century. How does EPPC view itself in this moment, given its focus on traditional values and the Judeo Christian principles? Ryan Anderson joins Giving Ventures to discuss that question. Ryan has been president of EPPC for the past five years and before that had a long tenure at the Heritage Foundation.

Bruce Springsteen once said we can be an ancestor for our children, or a ghost. Father's Day is a good time to ask which one we're becoming. In today's episode, Ryan talks with Lieutenant General Mark Hertling about the lessons we hope our children inherit from us. Mark's book, If I Don't Return: A Father's Wartime Journal, began as a way to pass down guidance to his sons during a deployment he knew he might not come home from. Ryan and Mark discuss the idea of an ethical will, the responsibility parents have to talk openly about failure, and the importance of teaching children what our own scar tissue has taught us. Lieutenant General (Ret.) Mark Hertling served 38 years in the U.S. Army, rising from tank platoon leader to commander of U.S. Army Europe and the Seventh Army. His career included combat tours in Desert Storm and Iraq, where he commanded the 1st Armored Division, prepared U.S. and allied forces for deployment, and helped support military transformation across Eastern Europe.

Teaching Counselling – A New Career Path? - The Reality of Self-Employment in Counselling In Episode 380 of the Counselling Tutor Podcast, your hosts Rory Lees-Oakes and Ken Kelly take us through this week's three topics: Firstly, in ‘Ethical, Sustainable Practice', they explore AI and regulation in counselling practice - looking at the current regulatory landscape, ethical responsibilities, and what practitioners need to consider when using AI tools. Then in ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Sarah Henry about teaching counselling as a potential career path - exploring the transition from practitioner to educator and the skills required to support future counsellors. And finally, in ‘Student Services', Rory and Ken discuss the reality of self-employment in counselling - examining what it takes to build and sustain a private practice as a business. AI and Regulation in Counselling Practice [starts at 03:13 mins] In this section, Rory and Ken explore AI and regulation in counselling practice, examining the developing regulatory landscape surrounding AI in counselling and psychotherapy, and what ethical practitioners need to consider before integrating AI tools into their work. Key points discussed include: AI tools sit within a practitioner's professional responsibility - counsellors remain accountable for how these tools are used in practice. The UK regulatory landscape includes medical device regulation, UK GDPR, data protection legislation, professional ethics, and evidential standards. Practitioners should carefully review what data an AI tool collects, where it is stored, how it is used, and whether clients have provided informed consent. The Shared AI Charter for counselling and psychotherapy organisations emphasises client-centred ethics, transparency, human connection, equality, and ongoing evaluation. NICE is increasingly evaluating digital health technologies, encouraging practitioners to look for independent evidence supporting any AI tool they use. Key considerations include purpose, evidence, data protection, consent, bias, impact on the therapeutic relationship, and accountability if something goes wrong. Teaching Counselling – A New Career Path? [starts at 33:41 mins] In this week's ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Sarah Henry about what counsellors should consider if they are thinking about moving into teaching and counselling education. Key points from this conversation include: Becoming a counselling tutor requires a shift from the role of practitioner to educator, with teaching skills being just as important as counselling knowledge. Formal teaching qualifications and experience of educational practice provide an important foundation for effective counselling education. Counselling tutors carry significant emotional labour as they support learners through personal and professional development. Maintaining appropriate boundaries is essential, balancing relational teaching with the responsibility to assess students against required standards. Tutors bring counselling theory to life by integrating real-world clinical experience and helping students connect learning with practice. Effective educators model professionalism, authenticity, and ethical practice while encouraging students to develop their own therapeutic identity. The Reality of Self-Employment in Counselling [starts at 01:01:26 mins] In this section, Rory and Ken discuss what counsellors need to understand about running a private practice and why counselling skills alone are not enough to sustain a successful business. Key points include: Private practice is fundamentally self-employment and requires business knowledge alongside counselling competence. Counselling fees must cover much more than client sessions, including supervision, CPD, insurance, administration, room hire, taxes, holidays, and other business costs. Developing business skills such as marketing, networking, budgeting, and client acquisition is crucial for long-term sustainability. Many practitioners benefit from a portfolio career, combining counselling with teaching, supervision, consultancy, or related work. Building a successful practice takes time, patience, and consistent effort, with referrals and professional networks often becoming important sources of clients. Surrounding yourself with positive, experienced practitioners rather than pessimistic voices can help build confidence and support professional growth.

In Part 2 of this bold and unfiltered conversation, Eve welcomes back Cidney Green for a deep dive into kink exploration, fetish psychology, ethical non-monogamy, BDSM, fantasy versus reality, communication, consent, and sexuality. Cidney Green, creator of the viral “Pussy Over Pain” movement and author of All 3 In Me, shares raw insights on phone sex, fetish stigma, healing through BDSM, open relationships, jealousy, threesomes, and the role of honest communication in creating healthy, fulfilling intimate relationships. One of the most powerful moments in this episode is a role-play in which Eve and Cidney demonstrate how a couple might navigate a conversation about ethical non-monogamy and the possibility of inviting a third person into their relationship or bedroom. Through this realistic example, they model healthy communication, curiosity, boundary-setting, consent, emotional safety, and how to discuss fantasies without judgment. Rather than promoting any particular relationship structure, the conversation highlights that consensual non-monogamy, open relationships, and threesomes can be approached ethically when all parties communicate openly and enthusiastically consent. In this episode, you'll learn about: • BDSM and fetish exploration• Fetish psychology and kink stigma• Ethical non-monogamy, open relationships, and polyamory• How to talk to your partner about a threesome• Introducing a third partner into a relationship• Relationship communication and emotional safety• Consent, boundaries, and negotiation skills• Sexual empowerment and pleasure• Women's pleasure and orgasm equality• Fantasy versus reality in sexuality• Healing, growth, and self-discovery through intimacy If you're interested in sex education, ethical non-monogamy, polyamory, threesomes, kink, BDSM, relationship communication, sexual wellness, consent, body positivity, and authentic conversations about pleasure, this episode is for you.

What Greek Mythology Teaches About Leadership Charisma, Ethics and Influence: Lessons from Ancient Greece Episode 310 (Scott is based in New York City) In this conversation with Scott Mason we explored: how charisma can be developed rather than inherited why Greek mythology still offers practical leadership lessons using mythological avatars as personal development tools the connection between ethics and influence how leaders shape organizations through personal identity the difference between charisma and entertainment creating curiosity as a communication strategy the four foundational elements of charisma why meaningful messages attract and repel people discovering and developing your charismatic strengths self-actualization and leadership growth communicating with purpose and authenticity ----- About our guest, Scott Mason: Scott is a graduate of Columbia Law School and worked as legal counsel & a senior executive with government and nonprofit organizations for a quarter of a century. Scott's insights on Greek mythology and business success have appeared in book compilations and online magazines and blogs; he additionally was the founding host of the Greater New York City area's official podcast for Toastmasters International, the world's largest public speaking organization. Connect or follow Scott: https://www.linkedin.com/in/themythslayer/ https://www.myfreedomrocks.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@Myth_Slayer ----- Key Lessons from this conversation with Scott Mason: Charisma is a learnable skill, not a trait reserved for a gifted few. Effective communicators develop charisma in ways that fit their personality and circumstances. Greek mythology provides powerful metaphors for leadership, resilience and personal growth. A personal mythological avatar can serve as a guide for decision-making and self-development. Leadership begins with understanding the stories and identities we assign to ourselves. Businesses often reflect the beliefs and self-image of their leaders. Entertainment and charisma are not the same thing. Strong communication combines presence with a clear message. Curiosity is a powerful communication tool that keeps audiences engaged. Ethical influence creates stronger and more sustainable leadership. Charisma often attracts supporters while also creating resistance. Growth requires moving beyond easy challenges and confronting meaningful obstacles. Leaders should focus on developing their strengths rather than obsessing over weaknesses. Every person possesses unique "charismatic gemstones" that can become their greatest communication assets. Self-awareness and authenticity are essential foundations of lasting influence. ----- ----more---- Your Intended Message is the podcast about how you can boost your career and business success by honing your communication skills. We'll examine the aspects of how we communicate one-to-one, one to few and one to many – plus that important conversation, one to self.

Roman Yampolskiy has spent two decades trying to prove that superintelligent AI can be controlled. He couldn't. I invited him on to make his case. Subscribe if you want science with evidence, not speculation. Roman is a professor of computer science at the University of Louisville and one of the earliest researchers in AI safety. His book AI: Unexplainable, Unpredictable, Uncontrollable started as an attempt to solve the alignment problem. After decades of work, it became a proof that the problem cannot be solved. Not difficult. Mathematically impossible. I push back hard. We go after the Einstein test: can a large language model trained only on pre-1911 physics reproduce what Einstein did with the same data? We ran that experiment. It failed. Roman and I disagree about what that means. We also get into the halting problem and what it actually tells us about predicting smarter-than-human behavior, whether value alignment is a real problem or a well-funded category error, the case for a government moratorium on frontier model development, and why Roman thinks giving an AI agent access to your computer is the dumbest thing a smart person can do.

In this episode featuring producer Eric, Travis Chappell breaks down the psychology behind effective sales and marketing language, explores common persuasion tactics, and shares lessons learned from years in direct sales. From pricing strategies and scarcity marketing to the importance of honesty in sales conversations, Travis explains why trust—not manipulation—is the foundation of sustainable business growth. If you're an entrepreneur, salesperson, or business owner looking to improve your sales process without sacrificing integrity, this episode delivers practical insights you can apply immediately. On this episode we talk about: The psychology behind pricing and why $999 often outperforms $1,000 Scarcity and urgency tactics in marketing and when they actually work Why language matters in sales conversations and marketing copy The dangers of fake urgency, false scarcity, and misleading prospects How honesty and transparency create more referrals and repeat business Top 3 Takeaways Trust is your greatest asset in sales. Being honest about what you don't know builds credibility and strengthens long-term customer relationships. Marketing language can influence buying decisions, but it should enhance a good offer—not compensate for a bad one. Salespeople who focus on serving customers rather than closing deals create more repeat business, referrals, and lifetime value. Notable Quotes "The fake stuff is what irritates me more than anything." "It's a vote in the trust column when you admit that you don't know something." "Don't make short-term decisions because you think they might cost you a deal."

Why do so many chiropractors struggle to sell care plans they genuinely believe in? And why does every “no” from a patient feel so personal? In this episode, Dr. Lauryn sits down with Dr. Daniel Bai of Close for Chiro for a candid, hilarious, and unfiltered conversation about ethical sales, patient psychology, and why the best closers are often the ones who stop talking so much.Together, Lauryn and Dr. Dan break down what actually happens on day one and day two, why patients need to feel deeply heard before they'll trust your solution, and how confusion kills conversions. They also dive into pricing confidence, why doctors over-explain their recommendations, how to stop taking patient decisions personally, and why ethical sales might be one of the most important skills for reducing practice owner burnout.Key Takeaways:Ethical sales starts with understanding the patient's real want, need, or desire. When doctors lead with curiosity instead of explanation, patients feel heard and are more likely to trust the recommended solution.Day one and day two are not separate events; they are one connected sales process. The more curious and patient-centered you are on day one, the more authority you earn when presenting answers on day two.Confused minds don't buy, and time kills deals. Simplifying care plans, finances, and recommendations can increase conversions more than adding more explanation ever will.Practice owners burn out when every patient yes or no becomes personal. A strong sales system helps doctors stay confident, ethical, and consistent without constantly defending their value.Guest Bio:Dr. Daniel Bai is the CEO of Close for Chiro, a provocative and enterprising consulting company serving the chiropractic industry through sales training, communication strategy, and business development. An author, speaker, and thought leader on modern sales and marketing, Dr. Dan is known for challenging outdated ideas about selling in healthcare while helping doctors build practices rooted in confidence, clarity, and ethical patient communication. His lessons are designed for chiropractors, but his straight-from-the-hip teaching style and no-nonsense approach to sales apply far beyond the profession.Follow Daniel on InstagramBook a consulting call with DanielResources:Find all things Dr. Lauryn B including ways to work with herFollow Dr. Lauryn: Instagram | Facebook | LinkedInFollow She Slays on YouTubeMentioned in this episode:Holistic Marketing HubWant to attract ideal patients to your clinic?

Ethical AI Practice for Counsellors and Psychotherapists in the UK - Recognising Poor Supervision in Counselling Training In Episode 379 of the Counselling Tutor Podcast, your hosts Rory Lees-Oakes and Ken Kelly take us through this week's three topics: Firstly, in ‘Ethical, Sustainable Practice', they explore professional accountability and responsibility in AI in counselling practice - including who holds responsibility if something goes wrong. Then in ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Ken Kelly about his new book, Ethical AI Practice for Counsellors and Psychotherapists in the UK, and the growing role of AI in counselling and psychotherapy. And finally, in ‘Student Services', Rory and Ken discuss recognising poor supervision in counselling training - including red flags to look out for and what good supervision should provide. Accountability and Responsibility in AI Counselling Practice [starts at 03:10 mins] In this section, Rory and Ken explore accountability and responsibility in AI counselling practice, examining the ethical and legal responsibilities counsellors hold when using AI tools in their work. Key points discussed include: The responsibility for clinical decisions always remains with the practitioner, even when using AI-supported tools. Counsellors need to critically evaluate any digital tools they use, including understanding how client data is stored, protected, and accessed. It's important to consider what happens if a tool provider closes down or experiences a data breach. Practitioners should check whether their insurance covers the use of AI-supported systems in clinical work. Ethical decision-making includes documenting why a tool was accepted, rejected, or adopted with conditions. Using anonymised or non-identifiable client information can add an extra layer of protection when working digitally. Ethical AI Practice for Counsellors and Psychotherapists in the UK [starts at 26:58 mins] In this week's ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Ken Kelly about his new book, Ethical AI Practice, exploring the ethical use of AI in counselling and psychotherapy. Key points from this conversation include: Ken describes the moment he realised AI would significantly impact every profession, including counselling and psychotherapy. The book was written to help practitioners navigate AI ethically while formal guidance from professional bodies continues to develop. The AI Expert Reference Group brings together representatives from counselling organisations, training providers, and ethical bodies to discuss developments in AI. The book focuses on applying existing counselling skills and ethical thinking to AI rather than teaching technical knowledge. AI is already appearing in counselling practice through tools, apps, and client use - often without practitioners realising it. Companion resources include ethical evaluation tools, AI policy templates, therapeutic contract examples, and downloadable workbooks. Recognising Poor Supervision in Counselling Training [starts at 01:07:52 mins] In this section, Rory and Ken discuss how counselling students can recognise poor supervision and what healthy supervision should look like. Key points include: Students are paying for a professional service and should expect clear contracting, appropriate support, and professional boundaries. A good supervisor should understand the needs of counselling students and ideally have experience supervising trainees. Supervision should feel supportive and safe while still offering appropriate challenge and professional development. Supervisors should understand the modality and context in which the student is working, including online or telephone practice where relevant. Warning signs may include feeling unable to bring mistakes into supervision, blurred boundaries, or supervision sessions that lack depth and challenge. Good supervision helps students grow in confidence, reflect critically on their practice, and develop professionally in service of their clients.

As democratic governments, universities, and civil society organizations grapple with how to engage China, an ethical question persists: should cooperation with Chinese state institutions, which involve every industry from education to commerce, be pursued as a pathway to gradual, meaningful progress, or does such engagement ultimately legitimize repression and undermine fundamental freedoms?

What happens when the people arguing the rules become the ones accused of breaking them? In this episode of The Valley Current®, Jack Russo examines a growing crackdown inside America's federal courts, where even elite law firms may no longer be safe. A stunning $3.09 million sanction against Quinn Emanuel highlights a new era of tougher penalties, personal liability, and public judicial rebukes. But the disruption does not stop there. As AI-generated hallucinations and verification failures spread through the legal profession, courts are increasingly punishing attorneys whose filings cross ethical lines. The consequences now reach beyond embarrassment to damaged cases, threatened careers, and potentially uninsurable losses. Are federal courts restoring accountability, or rewriting the rules of legal warfare?

This week on Come Curious, Reed sits down with kink theorist, power exchange mentor and educator Tripp Terrier to unpack one of the most misunderstood roles in BDSM: the dominant. Together they explore why true dominance isn't about control, arrogance or entitlement but instead, it's about presence, responsibility and service. Tripp shares his unique perspective on power exchange, explaining how authority is earned through knowledge, patience and skill rather than demanded through status or ego. They discuss the importance of integrating every part of yourself including the feminine and more uncomfortable aspects of your personality, and why self-awareness is one of the most powerful tools a dominant can develop. Inside the episode: - Why dominance is a giving role, not a taking one- The difference between confidence and entitlement- How power exchange can become deeply transformative- Why consent is more complex than a simple "yes" or "no"- The role of humility in healthy masculinity and leadership- Supporting partners through subdrop and emotional vulnerability Tripp also shares his essential reading list for anyone curious about kink, including The Topping Book and The Bottoming Book by Janet Hardy and Dossie Easton, alongside The Heart of Dominance and The Dominance Playbook by Anton Fulmen. Whether you're dominant, submissive, curious or simply interested in healthier models of masculinity, this conversation offers a fascinating look into power, connection and personal responsibility.

In part two of this conversation on GLP-1 receptor agonists, Dr. Mike Chupp is joined by Dr. Kymberli Cook, a systematic theologian, Assistant Director of the Hendricks Center, and adjunct professor at Dallas Theological Seminary, to explore the deeper theological and ethical dimensions of these medications. Dr. Cook specializes in theological anthropology, the study of what it means to be human in relation to God, and brings that lens to bear on some of medicine’s most pressing questions: Are our creaturely limits something to overcome or embrace? Where does therapy end and enhancement begin? And how should Christian healthcare professionals faithfully navigate the medical and technological advancements that increasingly shape our bodies, our limitations, and our health? This episode invites you to move beyond the clinical conversation and consider what it means to be a faithful steward of the bodies God has given us.

In this conversation, Dr. Marc Smith shares his journey from hedge fund trading in New York's financial district to building an integrated ketamine psychiatry practice in California. After three years in finance doing trading and sales, Dr. Smith made the bold decision to completely pivot his career toward medicine, driven by a desire for purpose and meaning that his financial career couldn't provide.Dr. Smith's path took him through Columbia University for medical school, followed by psychiatry residency at USC, where he discovered his passion for interventional treatments like TMS and ketamine therapy. His unique perspective, having worked in both profit-maximizing finance and purpose-driven healthcare, provides valuable insights into the challenges of maintaining ethical medical practice in an increasingly commercialized healthcare environment.Dr. Smith's practice, Clear Ketamine + Psychiatry, represents an integrated model where he personally handles psychiatric evaluation, preparation therapy, ketamine treatment administration, and post-treatment integration sessions.What You'll Learn in This Episode· Career transition insights - How Dr. Smith navigated the complete pivot from finance to medicine, including the challenges and rewards of choosing purpose over profit in healthcare· Mental health crisis analysis - Dr. Smith's perspective on factors contributing to rising depression, anxiety, and suicide rates, including social isolation, technology impacts, and healthcare access barriers· Treatment-resistant depression understanding - Why 30% of patients don't respond to traditional antidepressants and how ketamine offers a different mechanism through NMDA receptor antagonism and neuroplasticity induction· Integrated practice model - Dr. Smith's unique approach combining psychiatric evaluation, preparation therapy, ketamine administration, and integration sessions all under one provider rather than outsourcing components· Intentions versus goals framework - How to help patients set internal emotional states they're striving for (intentions) alongside specific, measurable functional outcomes (SMART goals) for comprehensive treatment planning· Ketamine as catalyst concept - Understanding how ketamine works like "jumpstarting a car" to improve mood and motivation, while ongoing therapy and lifestyle changes provide the maintenance needed for sustained improvement· Ethical practice building - Dr. Smith's mission to combat ketamine stigma through evidence-based protocols while addressing concerns about recreational associations and inappropriate use in the field· Private practice autonomy benefits - How owning your own practice allows values-driven decisions that may conflict with profit maximization, contrasting with private equity-driven healthcare models· Business building practical advice - The importance of talking to other practice owners, understanding it's a marathon not a sprint, and knowing your limitations to outsource effectively· Biopsychosocial treatment approach - Addressing biological, psychological, and social elements of mental health through medications, therapy, exercise, sleep, nutrition, social connection, and nature exposureEpisode 58 show notes:00:00:00 - Teaser: Profit vs. Purpose in Healthcare 00:00:35 - Episode Introduction00:02:03 - Dr. Smith's Background: From East Coast to Medicine 00:02:30 - Career Transition: Three Years in Financial Industry 00:04:12 - Discovering Psychiatry Through Clinical Rotations 00:05:32 - Why Psychiatry: Deep Relationships and Human Connection00:08:50 - Tools in the Toolbox: TMS, Ketamine, and Treatment Options 00:09:30 - The Leap: Stepping Away from Finance Success 00:11:17 - The Marble Metaphor: Chiseling Away What We Aren't 00:12:46 - Self-Actualization and Gratitude in Medicine 00:14:01 - USC Residency and Academic Reception of Ketamine 00:16:54 - Evidence-Based Medicine and the Slow Pace of Change 00:19:17 - Mental Health Crisis: Social Isolation and Technology 00:22:50 - The Invisible Nature of Mental Health Challenges 00:25:28 - Private Equity vs. Patient Care: The Business Tension 00:30:18 - Private Practice Autonomy and Values-Based Decisions 00:32:15 - Clear Ketamine + Psychiatry: The Integrated Model 00:36:11 - Treatment Protocol: Six Sessions with Therapy Integration 00:37:56 - Ketamine as Jumpstart: The Car Analogy 00:42:00 - Intentions vs. Goals: Internal States and SMART Outcomes 00:46:30 - Ethical Standards and Combating Ketamine Stigma 00:50:15 - Practice Building Advice: Talk to Other Providers 00:52:55 - Rapid Fire Questions: Book Recommendation 00:54:52 - Last Meal 00:55:52 - Pickleball Obsession and the Philosophy of the Game 00:56:50 - Time Travel00:58:46 - Alternative Career01:00:04 - Advice to 20-Year-Old Self01:01:53 - Contact Information and Practice Details 01:03:03 - Final Thoughts: Gratitude and Evidence-Based Care 01:04:20 - Ending and ResourcesThanks for listeningConnect with Dr. Marc Smith at:Website: https://www.clearketapsych.comInstagram: @clearketapsych, @marcsmithmdLinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/marcsmithmdGoogle Maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/GCHVy8q183c7WvfLA

Matt and Jordan review Netflix's massive true crime tabloid horror hit, The Crash, a direct-to-streaming look at the tragic Mackenzie Sherilla case. Jordan walks away feeling like he needs a shower for his soul, while Matt thanks his lucky stars that social media didn't exist when he was a youngster. For Rec Seg, Matt challenges the "drek" of the true crime genre by recommending an Oscar-nominated Netflix doc and Jordan counters with a 2018 indie drama that offers a nuanced take on the endless scroll. Listener requests yield recommendations for a 1945 "hardcore British" romance and 2012 Sundance indie featuring an ex-con who hangs out with a robot. Finally, Producer Sam steps in to host a true crime-inspired game called If You Can't Do the Time, Don't Watch the True Crime (on Amazon Prime). Plus, dabbing, dad jokes, and brief thoughts on box office phenomenons Backrooms and Obsession, and Masters of the Universe.

After 14 years behind a camera filming hunts, I finally sat down and answered the questions people have been asking me for years. This episode goes way deeper than camera gear and self-filming setups. We get into how filming hunts has changed the way I hunt, whether social media and modern hunting content have helped or hurt the industry, and if I'd still film today if nobody ever saw the final product. I also talk about the mental shift of going from filming projects like Dropped into whitetail season, balancing the pressure of capturing content while still staying present in the hunt, and how different productions like Dropped, Rival Wild, and GRIT all require completely different mindsets behind the camera. We also dive into some things people rarely talk about publicly: Ethical dilemmas while filming hunters Pressure to cross lines for content Nightmare filming situations Whether I edit for myself or the audience The most rewarding footage I've ever captured What's still on my filming bucket list after all these years There are stories, opinions, and behind-the-scenes moments in this episode that I've never shared before. If you've ever wondered what really goes into filming hunts — physically, mentally, and emotionally — this one's for you. . . .

Every now and then, I like to hop into the wayback machine and share a fresh listen to conversations that influenced our current times. The one you are going to register to today was recorded live in 2014 from DIEM, Design Intersects Everything Made symposium presented by the West Hollywood Design District featuring Frances Anderton, then with KCRW ad Jeff Denby, co-founder and then with Pact. A clothing brand you will be hearing more about.  The following conversation was focused on values based capitalism, an economic model with which places value on profit generation that also generates positive social impact. Designer Resources Pacific Sales Kitchen and Home. Where excellence meets expertise. TimberTech – Real wood beauty without the upkeep Shelter Republic – Request your membership invitation As you listen to this chat between Frances and Jeff, you might notice the “feel-good” vibes and high ideals that come from a focus on values based consumerism patterns. Buy well-made products that come from sustainably based materials and made by people who are valued to those producing the products and then by those who buy the product. At the time of this recording, this idea was catching on and even now, companies that have a value-system connected directly to products speak openly about the social capital being generated. I would argue we hear far less now because sustainability has been linked politically to DEI, and there is a group of people who see that has more of a social ill, than a societal benefit. I'm not here to change any minds, only share different perspectives. And this is one worth sharing with the hope that it will make a return, not just in fashion or consumer packaged goods, but in the home decor and architectural materials sectors. Consumer Awareness Evolution How Whole Foods and the food industry educated consumers about product origins. Extension of that curiosity to body care and apparel: understanding what goes on the skin and into daily wear. The role of design in making sustainable products attractive and desirable. Philanthropy and Social Impact Early collaborations with nonprofits through limited-edition collections and direct aid. Shift toward improving the lives of workers within the supply chain. Emphasis on economic, environmental, and social impact as part of the business model. Challenges of Domestic Manufacturing Difficulties of reviving large-scale apparel production domestically, including labor costs, fractured supply chains, and compliance issues. Comparison with global supply chains and the decision to work where systems already exist. Insights from attempts at localized production and the challenges of sustainable sourcing. Product Expansion and Market Strategy Focus on apparel basics for the emerging generation of socially conscious consumers. Building a generational brand by appealing to evolving values. Commitment to price accessibility while maintaining sustainability and ethical production. Supply Chain Ethics and Certification Working exclusively with certified factories and farms to ensure fair labor practices. Ensuring worker protections and representation, including female supervisors. Direct engagement with farmers and supply chain partners to secure market access and stability. Sustainability and Waste Management Recycling factory scraps and leftover materials into new products. Finding secondary uses for garment remnants, including mattress filling. Factories incentivized to reduce waste as part of both economic and environmental sustainability. Consumer Education and Transparency Educating customers about the human and environmental story behind clothing. Leveraging social media, coalition branding, and events to communicate supply chain practices. Positioning Pact as a non-toxic apparel brand with safe-for-skin products. Research and Industry Collaboration Participation in textile and sustainability coalitions with like-minded brands. Supporting the growth of organic cotton farming and sustainable supply chains. Promoting transparency in manufacturing practices and educating the public on chemical exposure in conventional apparel. Ethical apparel requires intentional design, transparent supply chains, and collaboration across the industry. Consumers increasingly demand products that are safe, well-designed, and socially responsible. Philanthropy is most effective when integrated into the core business, benefiting both workers and communities. Scaling sustainability in mass-market apparel is challenging but possible with careful planning, partnerships, and public education. Conscious Basics: How Textiles Can Be Ethical, Sustainable, and Stylish In an era when consumers increasingly demand transparency and ethical responsibility, Pact is reshaping the apparel industry by marrying sustainability, social impact, and thoughtful design. Co-founder Jeff Denby spoke with Frances Anderton in 2014 about the philosophy behind the brand, tracing a journey from organic cotton farms in India to certified factories in Turkey, all with the goal of delivering high-quality, accessible clothing that respects both people and the planet. Denby notes that consumer awareness has evolved in stages. Shoppers first became curious about food origins, learning that groceries come from farms, not just shelves. This consciousness extended to body care products, as people began asking what they were putting on their skin. Apparel is the next frontier. “People want to know what they're wearing every day,” Denby explains. “They want products that are beautifully designed, sustainable, and safe, without having to reinvent what underwear or socks should look like.” Early in Pact's history, the company experimented with philanthropic partnerships, designing collections that supported nonprofit causes. These initiatives provided aid to communities abroad, from distributing lanterns in Haiti to rebuilding community centers in Japan. However, Denby realized the brand could make a deeper impact by focusing inward—supporting the lives of the workers who create the products. By investing in stable, ethical supply chains, Pact achieves a triple bottom line: economic, social, and environmental benefits. Reviving large-scale apparel manufacturing in the United States proved impractical for Pact. Labor costs, fractured supply chains, and limited domestic processing infrastructure made it impossible to produce affordable basics at scale. Instead, the brand partnered with existing factories abroad, ensuring they meet strict certifications such as the Global Organic Textile Standard. Denby emphasizes that these certifications guarantee fair labor practices, gender equity, and safe working conditions—factors often overlooked in conventional apparel production. Beyond ethical sourcing, Pact prioritizes product safety and environmental responsibility. Cotton cultivation and traditional textile processing can involve significant pesticide use and harmful chemicals. Pact works with organic cotton farmers and certified dye houses, eliminating heavy metals and carcinogens from their products. Waste management is also integral; leftover yarn and fabrics are recycled into new garments or repurposed for other industries, demonstrating that sustainability extends from field to factory to finished product. Denby envisions Pact as the “basics brand for the change generation,” appealing to consumers who value ethics, transparency, and design. The brand is part of a coalition with other sustainable apparel companies, collaborating to secure fair market access for farmers, grow organic cotton production, and educate the public on the human stories behind clothing. Social media and events provide direct channels to communicate these values, allowing consumers to engage with the brand and understand the people and processes behind the garments they wear. For Pact, the mission goes beyond selling clothing. It is about proving that everyday apparel can be ethical, well-designed, and accessible, while creating meaningful social impact. By integrating philanthropy, sustainability, and consumer education into the business model, Pact is showing that the basics—underwear, socks, and t-shirts—can carry a powerful message: that fashion can be responsible, thoughtful, and inclusive.

Health data affects artificial intelligence in important ways. Camille Nebeker, Ed.D., M.S., UC San Diego, explains why ethically sourced data is foundational to building trustworthy, AI-ready health data repositories. Nebeker examines how ethical sourcing applies across the full data lifecycle, including consent, governance, transparency, data quality, privacy, stewardship, and community engagement. She also shows how ideas from supply chain management and value sensitive design help teams identify ethical tensions and improve decision-making. This work helps explain why ethics cannot be added at the end of AI development and points toward more accountable data practices that support public trust and stronger downstream performance.

Making Menopause Matter - When Counselling Skills Feel Difficult In Episode 378 of the Counselling Tutor Podcast, your hosts Rory Lees-Oakes and Ken Kelly take us through this week's three topics: Firstly, in ‘Ethical, Sustainable Practice', they explore AI, bias and critical thinking in counselling, examining the risks of bias and discrimination and the importance of critical thinking when using AI in counselling practice. Then in ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Emma Neville about making menopause matter - exploring lived experience, advocacy, education, and the importance of open conversations around menopause. And finally, in ‘Student Services', Rory and Ken discuss why counselling skills can sometimes feel difficult and how students can build confidence and trust in their developing practice AI, Bias and Critical Thinking in Counselling [starts at 03:30 mins] In this section, Rory and Ken explore AI, bias and critical thinking in counselling, looking at the ethical implications of AI in practice and why critical thinking is vital for safe, inclusive, and effective client work. Key points discussed include: AI tools used in counselling may contain bias if they are trained on limited or non-diverse datasets. Therapists need to critically evaluate whether AI systems reflect the lived experiences of the clients they work with. Bias can exist across culture, gender, sexuality, neurodivergence, disability, language, and social class. AI should support reflection rather than replace professional judgement or human connection. Counsellors are encouraged to research AI tools carefully, remain sceptical of fixed recommendations, and use supervision to explore any uncertainty. The human relationship remains central to counselling - AI should never replace empathy, relational understanding, or therapeutic presence. Making Menopause Matter [starts at 26:26 mins] In this week's ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Emma Neville, menopause coach, counsellor, and founder of This Is Me, about her lived experience of early menopause and her mission to raise awareness and improve support. Key points from this conversation include: Emma shares her experience of being diagnosed with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) at the age of 40 and the emotional impact this had on her identity and wellbeing. Menopause education and awareness are often lacking, leaving many women feeling isolated, dismissed, or unsupported. Partners, families, employers, and healthcare professionals all have an important role in understanding and supporting people experiencing menopause. Emma explains how coaching and community can help women feel seen, heard, validated, and empowered. Her online community ‘This Is Me' was created to encourage open conversations, shared experiences, and greater connection around menopause. Emma encourages listeners to trust their bodies, advocate for themselves, seek education early, and remember that they are not alone.

Key points include: Many counselling students experience imposter syndrome and worry that they are ‘doing it wrong'. Counselling skills are not about performing perfectly - they are about creating genuine human connection. Different counsellors may use different skills in the same situation, and there is rarely one ‘correct' response. Feedback from the person acting as the client can often be more meaningful than feedback from observers. Practising counselling skills outside formal class time can help build confidence and familiarity. Over time, counselling skills become more natural as therapists learn to trust themselves and focus more fully on the relationship.

For the 262nd episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes scholar, feminist writer, and author Sophie Lewis. Known for provocative books like Full Surrogacy Now, Abolish the Family, and Enemy Feminisms, Sophie challenges some of our most deeply held assumptions about pregnancy, parenthood, caregiving, and who a child belongs to. In this episode, we dive into the physical realities and risks of pregnancy, the ethics of surrogacy, reproductive labor under capitalism, and why Lewis believes our ideas about family and biological ownership deserve a closer look. We also discuss maternal mortality, the future of reproductive care, children's rights, and the surprisingly real possibility of birth strikes and artificial womb technology.

What if the version of you that you're chasing is still playing way too small? In this conversation with Andy Frisella, we went deep on something most people don't want to hear but desperately need to understand. Success is not something you arrive at. It is something you chase for the rest of your life. Andy broke down why he genuinely does not feel like he has made it, even after building multiple massive companies, and why that mindset is exactly what keeps him growing. For him, success is the pursuit of your true potential, knowing you will never fully reach it, but choosing to go all in anyway. We talked about what it really takes to win at the highest level, and I can tell you this is not the version of entrepreneurship you see on social media. There is nothing casual about winning. Andy and I both agreed that intensity is not optional. It is required. Most people underestimate the level of urgency and commitment needed to build something meaningful. If you are not willing to bring everything you have, someone else will, and they will pass you. Andy also shared one of the most powerful frameworks I have heard in a long time. He calls it a zero options mentality. Even when you have success, even when you have resources, you operate like you have no backup plan. That mindset forces you to stay sharp, stay hungry, and keep executing. It is not about fear. It is about discipline and ownership. And when you combine that with real mental toughness, you create separation that most people will never close. We also went deep on where the world is going, especially with AI and business. Andy believes the winners will be the ones who use AI to become more efficient behind the scenes, while doubling down on human connection out front. Relationships, culture, and leadership still matter. In fact, they matter more than ever. Ethical entrepreneurs who build great people and great cultures are the ones who will shape the future. This episode is a real look behind the curtain. No hype. No shortcuts. Just the truth about what it takes to build something great, sustain it, and continue to evolve long after most people would have settled. Key Takeaways: Why success is not an endpoint but a lifelong pursuit of your true potential The real level of intensity required to win and why most people fall short What a zero options mentality is and how it keeps you performing at a high level Why mental toughness is the foundation of all success and how to build it How to use AI the right way without losing the human advantage in business The role of ethical entrepreneurship in shaping culture, communities, and the future Click Here to join the Arete Sydicate with Ed and Andy Sign up for a $1 per month trial period at ⁠shopify.com/mylett⁠ For a limited time, check out Rho's Liposomal NAD+ at ⁠https://www.rhonutrition.com/discount/mylett⁠ and use code MYLETT for 20% off sitewide.
