#771 What if you could skip the struggle of starting a business from scratch — and still become your own boss? In this episode hosted by Kirsten Tyrrel, we sit down with Ryan Gasaway, a former corporate executive turned franchise consultant, who shares how franchising helped him take back control of his time, income, and lifestyle. Ryan walks us through his personal journey of investing in a quick service restaurant, the common misconceptions around franchising, and why you don't need millions — or even a brick-and-mortar location — to get started. We explore the types of franchises that are thriving today, the importance of aligning your business with your lifestyle goals, and how to navigate the process from discovery to ownership. Whether you're curious about service-based businesses, want a lower-cost entry into entrepreneurship, or are wondering if franchising could be your path to freedom, this episode is packed with practical insights you won't want to miss! (Original Air Date - 6/6/25) What we discuss with Ryan: + Corporate burnout to franchise success + Franchising vs. building from scratch + Low-cost, service-based franchise options + Common misconceptions about franchising + Franchise funding and SBA loans + Brick-and-mortar vs. home-based models + Choosing the right franchise fit + Passive income myths debunked + Benefits of built-in support and training + Evaluating territory and market saturation Thank you, Ryan!

The Bowhunter Chronicles Podcast - Episode 387: He Shot my Buck Out From Under Me : Aaron Olsen Next Step Outdoors In this episode of the Bowhunter Chronicles podcast, Adam sits down to talk with Aaron Olsen of Next Step Outdoors to break down the real-world challenges of public land hunting, covering strategy, mindset, and decision-making from start to finish of a hard-fought hunt. The discussion explores balancing family life and hunting season, managing expectations, and adapting when conditions and pressure don't go as planned. A pivotal moment in the hunt sparks the core debate of the episode: while glassing a buck, another hunter spotted the same deer, slipped in, and ultimately shot it out from in front of them. What followed became a race to the buck—and a larger conversation about ethics, unwritten rules, and fair play on public land. Was the other hunter in the wrong, or was it simply part of hunting ground that belongs to everyone? Beyond that moment, the episode dives into missed opportunities, mid-hunt adjustments, weather challenges, deer movement, and spot-and-stalk versus ground hunting tactics. Mental toughness and patience are tested as pressure increases from other hunters, leading to honest reflections on luck vs skill, scouting, preparation, and lessons learned for future hunts. Topics Covered: Public land hunting strategy Hunting ethics and shared ground Deer movement and scouting Spot-and-stalk vs ground hunting Decision-making under pressure

What if “assuming best intent” is actually costing you more than it gives? In this solo episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius Mirshahzadeh challenges one of his longest held beliefs and shares a hard earned shift in perspective: stop assuming best intent and start assuming true intent. Drawing on personal experiences, maturity, and Aristotle's three types of friendships, utility, pleasure, and virtue, Darius unpacks how mislabeling relationships leads to disappointment, burnout, and misplaced loyalty. This episode is a powerful reflection on discernment, boundaries, and energy management, and a reminder that every relationship comes with a real cost. Learn how greater awareness creates better choices, stronger boundaries, and more intentional relationships, both in life and business.

This episode started the way some of our best conversations do — on a walk. Chris and Melissa talk about why the idea of "balance" often leaves families frustrated, exhausted, and feeling like they're failing. Instead, they introduce a different lens that has brought them far more peace over the years: seasons of life. Every season affords certain opportunities. Every season also has real limitations. And neither are permanent. Chris shares a conversation he had with someone wrestling with a big opportunity — one that looked great on paper, but didn't quite align with the season of life he and his family were in. That's when the idea of seasonality clicked. Not as an excuse, but as a filter. They walk through real-life examples — newly married seasons, seasons with little kids, seasons when kids are more independent, seasons packed with sports schedules, and even micro-seasons like coaching a basketball team or building a business. Each season requires different energy, different priorities, and different definitions of success. Melissa reflects on how much pressure we put on ourselves to "do it all" at once — careers, health, friendships, travel, parenting — without acknowledging that something always has to give. The freedom comes when you choose what gives on purpose, rather than resenting it later. They also talk about how comparison makes this even harder. Seeing other families travel, rest, hustle, or expand can make you question your own choices — unless you remember that you're not in the same season. Chris shares one of the most grounding decisions he's made for himself: If I choose it, I surrender my right to complain about it. Whether it's coaching basketball, committing to a business season, or choosing rest — owning your choice removes resentment and allows you to fully show up where you are. This episode is an invitation to pause and ask better questions: What season am I in right now? What does this season afford me? What am I choosing to prioritize here? And can I trust that the seasons will change? Because no season lasts forever. And no matter where you are right now, the belief that the best is yet to come is always available.

Careers don't stall because people forget how to work hard; they stall because the room stops changing. We dig into a simple, disruptive idea: individuals matter more than institutions. When you choose who you spend time with as carefully as you choose your company, your trajectory shifts—faster ideas, bolder bets, better results.Lone Rock Leadership co-founder Russ Hill walks through two practical circles that shape outcomes. Your first-degree connections—bosses, teammates, key clients—determine your daily pace and mindset. If they're maintainers, your thinking flattens. If they're builders and developers, your courage and creativity rise. Then there's the overlooked engine: second-degree connections, the friends-of-friends who inject novelty without chaos. Most real opportunities come from this layer, and we get tactical about how to activate it: rotate rising operators into executive meetings, design invite-only dinners that cross functions and companies, and set a steady cadence of breakfasts, calls, and site visits that sharpen judgment.Ready to trade stagnation for momentum?

In this episode, I'm joined by Alex Beattie, founder of The Divorce Planner, to talk about what actually helps in the earliest stages of separation and divorce. Alex is a divorce prep coach who works with people before they hire attorneys or mediators, helping them get grounded emotionally and prepared practically before big, irreversible decisions are made.

A growing number of post-pandemic reports have described cancer diagnoses, recurrence, or progression following COVID-19 vaccination or SARS-CoV-2 infection. While no causal relationship has been established, these observations raise important questions that warrant careful, hypothesis-driven investigation. ​​The rapid development and global distribution of mRNA and viral vector vaccines during the pandemic was a landmark achievement in public health, essential in reducing severe COVID-19 cases and mortality. However, the novelty of these vaccines and the absence of long-term carcinogenicity or genotoxicity testing have led some researchers to ask whether rare but biologically plausible interactions with cancer pathways might exist. At the same time, pandemic-related disruptions in routine cancer screening and treatment were anticipated to influence diagnosis patterns. Yet, some reports have described unexpected phenomena, such as rapid disease progression in previously stable cancers or tumor appearance near injection sites, that are not easily explained by delayed care alone. The Review: Examining 69 Studies on Cancer Diagnoses After COVID-19 Vaccination or Infection In a review published in Volume 17 of Oncotarget, titled “COVID vaccination and post-infection cancer signals: Evaluating patterns and potential biological mechanisms,” Charlotte Kuperwasser (Tufts University) and Oncotarget Editor-in-Chief Wafik S. El-Deiry (The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University) examined 69 peer-reviewed publications spanning January 2020 to October 2025.

In this episode, The Annuity Man discussed:  Understanding MYGAs as CD alternatives Using tax deferral to improve long-term growth Extending deferral through strategic rollovers Evaluating liquidity and fit   Key Takeaways:  A Multi-Year Guarantee Annuity functions like a CD with a fixed rate and a defined term. It offers principal protection, no market exposure, and predictable growth. Terms typically range from one to ten years, depending on the carrier. Unlike CDs in non-qualified accounts, MYGA interest is not taxed annually. Taxes are deferred until withdrawals are taken. This allows earnings to compound uninterrupted over time.  At the end of a MYGA term, funds can be withdrawn or rolled into a new MYGA. A 1035 exchange allows this rollover without triggering taxes. This process can be repeated to defer taxes indefinitely. MYGAs often allow limited annual withdrawals, with gains taxed first. They appeal to those seeking stability, tax efficiency, and legacy growth.   "Multi-year guarantee annuity is the annuity version of a CD—fixed rate, no moving parts, no market attachment." —  Stan The Annuity Man   Connect with The Annuity Man:  Website: http://theannuityman.com/  Email: Stan@TheAnnuityMan.com  Book: Owner's Manuals: https://www.stantheannuityman.com/how-do-annuities-work YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCXKKxvVslbeGAlEc5sra2g  Get a Quote Today: https://www.stantheannuityman.com/annuity-calculator!

Sometimes a sports day doesn't feel loud — it just feels important.In this episode of Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges, Norm Hitzges breaks down two significant moves by Dallas teams that signal intention, urgency, and calculated risk.First, Norm dives into the Cowboys' hiring of Christian Parker as defensive coordinator. At just 34 years old, Parker arrives with one of the most important credentials in the NFL: five years working under Vic Fangio. Norm explains why Fangio's defensive philosophy — hybrid fronts, disguised coverages, and confusion by design — could be exactly what Dallas needs, and why the current roster actually fits a transition to a 3–4 defense better than many realize. The challenge now becomes roster construction: linebackers, secondary help, and tough contract decisions that will determine whether the scheme can truly take hold.Then the focus shifts to baseball, where the Texas Rangers make a bold trade to acquire Mackenzie Gore, a former top prospect and All-Star starter with undeniable talent — and a troubling pattern. Norm walks through Gore's career arc, from elite first halves to second-half swoons, and asks the central question: can the Rangers unlock consistency where others couldn't? The cost was steep, including top prospects and further damage to an already thin farm system, but the need was undeniable. With an aging rotation, the Rangers are betting upside matters more than depth. It's not optimism or pessimism — it's realism. Two big swings by two franchises trying to solve real problems, knowing full well that neither move comes with guarantees. Chapters00:00:00 – Two major moves in Dallas sports00:01:28 – The Cowboys hire Christian Parker00:02:19 – Why Vic Fangio's influence matters00:02:55 – The Fangio defensive blueprint explained00:03:44 – Why the Cowboys' roster fits a 3–4 defense00:04:28 – Kenny Clark's contract and tough cap decisions00:05:18 – The linebacker problem Dallas must solve00:06:35 – Draft targets and Sonny Styles' potential fit00:07:27 – Why this is a genuinely good day for the Cowboys00:07:49 – Turning to the Rangers and their pitching need00:10:11 – Remembering Mackenzie Gore as a top prospect00:10:52 – How Gore ended up available00:11:22 – Why the Rangers desperately needed a starter00:12:10 – Evaluating the current rotation honestly00:12:47 – Gore's troubling second-half struggles00:13:25 – Can the Rangers fix the inconsistency?00:14:14 – What Dallas gave up in the trade00:15:43 – The prospects involved and long-term cost00:18:01 – Why Washington made the deal now00:18:46 – Gore's role in the Rangers' rotation00:19:27 – The farm system fallout00:19:48 – Why the risk still makes sense00:20:42 – Sponsors and closing thoughts00:21:23 – Final sign-off Check us out: patreon.com/sunsetloungedfwInstagram: sunsetloungedfwTiktok: sunsetloungedfwX: SunsetLoungeDFWFB: Sunset Lounge DFW

Mike Johnson, Beau Morgan, and Ali Mac continue to react to the Atlanta Falcons announcing that they've named Tommy Rees as offensive coordinator and Jacqueline Roberts as manager of coaching operations, retained senior defensive assistant Dave Huxtable, assistant offensive line coach Nick Jones, and running backs coach Michael Pitre, react to the Falcons also announcing yesterday that they've completed interviews with James Liipfert and Andy Weidl for the organization's general manager position, and explain why they think the Falcons need a great talent evaluating GM to pair with the rest of the front office.

What if financial planning were approached the same way engineers design aircraft, medical treatments, or complex systems—with clearly defined objectives, constraints, and rigorous trade-off analysis? In this episode, Benjamin Felix is joined by Braden Warwick for a deep dive into what it means to engineer financial outcomes. Drawing on Braden's background as a PhD-trained mechanical engineer and his work building financial planning software at PWL Capital, the conversation reframes financial planning as a design problem rather than a speculative exercise. They explore the critical distinction between a financial plan and a financial projection, why uncertainty does not invalidate good planning, and how professional communication under uncertainty can build trust with clients—especially those from technical backgrounds. The discussion highlights the importance of goals-based planning, sensitivity analysis, and explicitly quantifying trade-offs when clients have multiple competing objectives.

WHEN DOES A $1000 MONTHLY CAR PAYMENT MAKE SENSE? FROM BALTIMORE WASHINGTON FINANCIAL ADVISORS Sandy Hornor | CEPS Managing Director, Wealth Management & Executive Manager Tessa Hall Media and Communications Specialist About This Episode Car payments are getting larger, and higher interest rates are forcing many buyers to rethink their decisions. In this episode, members of the BWFA team discuss when a car payment may make sense and how to evaluate financing decisions within a broader financial plan. For more information, visit BWFA's Financial Planning Services page. Read Full Description Car buying decisions have become more complicated as vehicle prices rise and interest rates remain elevated. In this episode of Healthy, Wealthy & Wise, BWFA advisors explore when a car payment makes financial sense and how borrowers should evaluate the true cost of financing a vehicle. The conversation begins with a look at recent data showing that a growing share of buyers are paying $1,000 or more per month for a car. While that number can be alarming, the advisors explain that whether a payment is reasonable depends on several factors, including interest rates, loan terms, cash flow, and overall financial priorities. They discuss the trade-off between borrowing at low interest rates versus paying cash, especially when investments may offer higher long-term returns. However, with auto loan rates now averaging in the mid-to-high six percent range, that math has changed for many buyers. The advisors also highlight common mistakes, such as selling long-term investments to pay off a car or borrowing from retirement accounts to fund a purchase. The discussion touches on newer tax rules that allow certain taxpayers to deduct a portion of auto loan interest. Ultimately, this episode reinforces that car decisions should not be made in isolation. Evaluating financing options as part of a comprehensive financial plan can help buyers make choices that support both their lifestyle and long-term financial security.

What happens when leaders stay silent about abuse? In this episode, the Remnant Radio hosts—Joshua Lewis, Michael Rowntree, and Michael Miller—break down Mike Winger's explosive six-hour investigation into Shawn Bolz and the devastating coverup culture plaguing charismatic Christianity.​The hosts dive deep into the evidence Mike Winger presented showing how Shawn Bolz faked prophetic words through data mining, committed sexual misconduct, and how Bethel Church leadership knew about it for years but failed to warn their own congregation. This isn't just disappointing—it's dangerous. When victims suffered devastating consequences from fraudulent prophecies, where was the public accountability?​ Joshua, Michael, and Michael also respond to Kris Vallotton's recent sermon that many see as damage control rather than genuine accountability. They examine his claims about social media fake news, family confidentiality, and shepherding complexity—but find these arguments fall short of biblical standards for church discipline.​ This episode tackles critical questions every Christian needs to wrestle with: -What does biblical prophecy actually look like versus manipulation and fraud?​ -When should church leaders publicly expose false prophets and abusers?​ -How do we balance mercy with justice against deception?​ -What does 1 Timothy 5:19-20 require when multiple witnesses come forward?​ Whether you're navigating charismatic theology, concerned about spiritual abuse, or simply want to understand what biblical accountability looks like in the modern church, this episode provides crucial insights.EXTRA LINKS:Mike Winger episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GH05S53QlY0&t=14543sBethel Sermon: Starts at 1:41:36 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s25IuN0oDrs0:00 – Introduction0:51 – Overview of Mike Winger's Investigation & Kris Vallotton's Response3:48 – Background on Victims5:38 – Timeline of Bethel's Knowledge 9:50 – Analysis of Kris Vallotton's Speech: Complexities of Shepherding Claim22:04 – Critique of "Everyone Has a Platform" and Fake News Narrative27:03 – Evaluating the "No Family Talks Anymore" Defense34:26 – The Problem of Breaking Confidentiality vs. Protecting Victims43:58 – "Innocent Until Proven Guilty" and the Investigation Excuse55:17 – Using Judas and Broken People as Justification1:10:04 – Were the Prophetic Words Valid?

Juliana Peres Magalhães admitted on the stand that she pulled the trigger on Joseph Ryan. She testified that she watched Brendan Banfield stab his wife Christine to death. And she's the only living witness to what happened in that bedroom.But the defense showed the jury jail letters where Magalhães promised to never cooperate, said she would "take the blame" for Banfield, and declared she would "give my life for his." She only flipped after she was hospitalized, after Banfield's family stopped paying her lawyer, and after she started negotiating with Netflix.Former FBI special agent Robin Dreeke — who led the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program — joins True Crime Today to evaluate the au pair's credibility. What red flags does he see? How does a behavioral expert assess a witness who lied for a year? And does the Netflix deal change everything — or is it just noise?Banfield has pleaded not guilty.

In the Cretaceous Period (c.100 million years ago) Egypt and North Africa were radically different environments. With vast tidal flats and mangroves, and a shallow sea, the continent fostered numerous animal and plant species. Creatures like Paralititan (sauropods); the sprinting Deltadromeus; the infamous Spinosaurus; and the newcomer Tameryraptor. These have been preserved in the fossil record from Egypt and other countries in North Africa. Today, we meet some of the inhabitants of this ancient landscape… Logo image: Spinosaurus aegyptiacus, by Paleogeeksquared, via Wikimedia.
