THE SECRET NETWORK: THE SAFARI CLUB, JOHN SHAHEEN, AND DOUBLE AGENTS Colleague Craig Unger. Unger explains the infrastructure used to execute the alleged conspiracy, specifically the "Safari Club," a group of off-the-books intelligence operatives formed after the CIA was restricted by the Church Committee in the 1970s. This network allowed covert operations to bypass congressional oversight. A crucial figure identified is John Shaheen, Bill Casey's close friend and former OSS colleague, who acted as a "cutout" to insulate Casey from direct involvement. Unger reveals that the Hashim brothers, Iranian arms dealers who offered to help Carter, were actually double agents working for Casey. FBI wiretaps eventually confirmed that the Hashims communicated with Shaheen before conducting arms deals, providing a direct link between the Reagan campaign's orbit and the delay of the hostage release.

As we conclude this year's Advent series, Pastor Marty shares with us this week the profound truth that Jesus is not the savior we expect, but He is the one we truly need.  We learn that we should ask hard questions with open hearts, that Jesus understands what we need saved from far better than we know ourselves, that neutrality toward Jesus is not an option, and that this redeemed life is a treasure of surpassing value. In Luke 7, Jesus sends a message back to John the Baptist, as he was concerned and questioning Jesus's presence.  He shares some simple truths about John the Baptist with the people there, and then he drops a quote that is difficult for them to understand, along the lines of “...John is great, but the least in the kingdom of God is greater than John...” which confused the people. Marty shares how God's children are greater than John, because we have knowledge, position, and a calling that John did not have. As we continue to prepare, how will you learn to live this in 2026?  Endure, Enjoy, Execute. This sermon is from 12/28/2025

In this episode of The Guild Live Show, Tyson Mutrux explores the concept of "sparks" — those small moments or ideas that ignite creativity and innovation.Tyson shares how sparks can lead to innovation for a firm. In moments of conversation and sometimes friction, sparks can come up through realization. Maybe someone challenges a belief or some personal irritation is expressed to a group of people. They can be created in a few different ways in a team setting.It is important to know when to execute or abandon sparks. Maybe executing a spark makes sense when you have a strong team dynamic. Maybe you need to plan in order to execute the spark, especially if you or the team don't have the capacity. But, sometimes abandoning the spark is better when you realize it is not a possibility at all for your firm.Listen in to learn more!• 6:49 Reflection on Sparks • 10:08 Creating Conditions for Sparks • 14:03 Hypothesis vs. Commitment for Ideas• 22:41 Capturing and Documenting Sparks • 24:43 Knowing When to Execute or Abandon • 25:37 Value of Pattern Interrupts Tune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here. 

Introduction December 27th brings sudden urgency—just four days remain to implement critical year-end financial strategies that could save thousands in taxes, reduce portfolio risk, and position retirement accounts for 2025 success. Most people spend more time planning vacations than reviewing their largest asset: their retirement portfolio. But the market’s strong multi-year run has created hidden dangers in 401(k) accounts, particularly for those approaching retirement who haven’t rebalanced in years. In this episode of The Tom Dupree Show, Tom Dupree and Mike Johnson provide an essential year-end checklist covering portfolio drift, account consolidation, tax-smart charitable giving, target date fund dangers, and fraud protection as scam season intensifies. Portfolio Drift: The Silent Risk Multiplier What Five Years Did to Your 401(k) If you established a 60/40 portfolio (60% stocks, 40% bonds) five years ago and never rebalanced, you’re sitting on dramatically more risk than intended. “If you had a 60-40 split in 2020, today you’re at about 76% stocks if you’ve made no changes,” Mike Johnson explained. “And your account’s worth 20 or 30% more, so there’s more dollars at stake, at risk.” The drift problem: Stocks outperformed bonds over five years Your stock allocation grew from market gains Total account value increased substantially Risk exposure multiplied Example: $500,000 in 2020 (60% stocks = $300,000) is now $650,000 with 76% stocks = $494,000 in equities. Your stock exposure grew 65%. S&P 500 Concentration Risk “About 40% of the S&P 500 is allocated to tech and high multiple stocks,” Mike noted. “If it’s been on autopilot, now is as good a time as any to look at it critically.” Market Corrections Are Inevitable “On average, every year you have a 10% drop in the market. That’s just the cost of admission,” Mike explained. “We had one back in April—it was closer to 20%. You were looking at 40, 50% drops in some things.” “A lot of people have forgotten how—and even that they should—play defense, especially when you’re getting close to retirement,” Mike cautioned. Year-end action: Check your actual allocation today. If stocks exceed your risk tolerance, rebalance before December 31st. Account Consolidation: Simplify Now The Multiple Account Problem “People’s thinking is, if I have this account over here and this account over here, I’ve got more money,” Tom observed. “When they consolidate those accounts, every one of those five pieces put together as one is gonna get managed better.” Hidden Costs of Scattered Accounts “It’s really hard to track performance if you have multiple accounts,” Mike explained. “It’s much simpler, much more accountable when it’s all consolidated together.” Problems with scattered accounts: Impossible to track overall performance Multiple RMD calculations Complex tax reporting Higher fees (missing breakpoint discounts) Poor overall portfolio coordination Mike’s consolidation benefits: “Proper investment to reach your goals, performance tracking, tax reporting, tax planning, and possible discounts on fees.” Year-end action: List all retirement accounts—schedule consolidation to simplify 2025 RMDs and reduce fees. Tax-Smart Year-End Strategies Strategy 1: Gift Appreciated Stock “Let’s say you give $10,000 a year to charity. You can gift those appreciated shares of stock to the organization,” Mike explained. “You can put that money right back into your brokerage account and reinvest it. You could even repurchase the same stock.” The double benefit: Charitable deduction for full market value Avoid capital gains tax on appreciation Example: Stock purchased for $4,000, now worth $10,000. Gift it, avoid $6,000 capital gain, use the $10,000 cash to buy it back. Strategy 2: Qualified Charitable Distribution “If you’re of the age where you have required minimum distributions, you can do a qualified charitable distribution,” Mike explained. “If you gift the RMD straight to the charity, it never flows through as taxable income to you.” QCD advantages: Counts toward RMD requirement Reduces adjusted gross income Lowers Medicare premiums Reduces taxes on Social Security Works even if you don’t itemize Year-end deadline: Execute stock gifts or QCDs before December 31st to count for 2024 taxes. The In-Service Rollover: Plan Three Years Ahead Act at Age 59½—Even While Working “At 59 and a half, you can do what’s called an in-service rollover,” Mike explained. “Even if you’re still employed and working, you can move over the balance of your 401(k) to an IRA and invest it more specifically for your situation.” The Three-Year Retirement Transition “Let’s say you’re 59 and a half and planning on retiring at 62. You can do that rollover, get the funds invested into an income-producing portfolio,” Mike detailed. “While you’re working, that income just reinvests back in. But when you hit 62, that portfolio’s already in place, it’s already working, and literally it’s linked to your checking account.” Tom emphasized the benefit: “It makes the retirement process more comfortable because you’re not leaving work and at the same time coming in brand new, getting comfortable with our investment approach. You’ve planned for it.” The seamless transition: Portfolio established 2-3 years before retirement Dividends reinvest while still working At retirement, switch to income payout mode No adjustment period or uncertainty Year-end action: If age 59½+, investigate in-service rollover options. Target Date Funds: Hidden Dangers The Collective Investment Trust Problem “52% of the assets in target date funds—over $2 trillion—are now in collective investment trusts,” Mike reported. What makes CITs dangerous: “A collective investment trust—they’re not required to register with the SEC,” Mike explained. “They don’t have to report, as transparently, all the internal fees. And they’re allowed to hold more illiquid investments inside of them.” The Blue Rock Disaster “There was a private real estate fund—the Blue Rock Total Income Fund,” Mike detailed. “The net asset value when it was private was about $24 a share. They decided to go public. The fund closed the day it went public at $14.70.” Investor loss: 39% immediately when real market pricing was revealed. “The NAV was bogus. It was totally bogus,” Mike concluded. The Vanguard-TIAA Annuity Trap “Vanguard announced they’re partnering with TIAA, and the target date fund automatically enrolls the investor in an annuity,” Mike reported. “What they’re hoping is that these people that have been on autopilot for 40 years—they’re not gonna change from being on autopilot at year 41,” Mike explained. “It’s just gonna automatically roll into these annuities. This is a money grab to keep the assets locked in.” Why Dupree Financial Group Avoids Them “We don’t use target date funds. We don’t like what the target date fund does to the client’s return,” Tom stated. “It’s about having all your money in one spot the day you retire. That money doesn’t need to be in one spot. It needs to be growing and throwing off dividends.” Mike: “The target date’s all based on historical averages. It doesn’t take into account what’s going on in the market or your situation.” Year-end action: If in a target date fund, research what’s actually inside it before the “glide path” continues. Year-End Fraud Alert: Peak Scam Season The January-February Surge “This time last year, at the first of the year, was one of the biggest fraud pushes that we’ve seen,” Mike warned. “As we get close to the end of the year, be diligent and protect yourself.” Sophisticated Team Operations “These fraudsters are very convincing. They sound like us. They sound like an advisor,” Mike explained. “They’ll bring somebody onto the line. They’ll keep people on the line for three hours. They’ve gotten used to handling objections.” Real Client Losses “We heard two in a row from our clients—older women, same amount: $10,000 each,” Tom recounted. “One woman could afford it. The other one really couldn’t.” The Defense Strategy “The first line of defense is you, the client,” Mike stated. “If you have something that pops up on your screen—don’t click there. If somebody calls—call somebody. Call a trusted person. If you’re a client of ours, call us. But do not take action on any of these things.” Critical warning: “Do not verify within their ecosystem. They say, ‘We’ll let you verify,’ and then they transfer you. They’re all working together.” Tom’s advice: “Get off the phone or don’t click on things and get somebody that you trust to find out exactly what’s going on.” Year-end vigilance: Never click pop-ups, never transfer money based on calls, always verify independently. Your Year-End Action Plan Critical Tasks Before December 31st ✓ Check portfolio drift – Verify stock/bond allocation matches risk tolerance ✓ Rebalance if needed – Reduce risk before 2025 ✓ Execute charitable strategies – Gift stock or make QCD before deadline ✓ Consolidate accounts – Simplify RMDs and reduce fees ✓ Research in-service rollovers – If 59½+, investigate options ✓ Review target date funds – Understand holdings before glide path continues ✓ Increase fraud vigilance – Peak scam season protection Questions Before Year-End What’s my actual current allocation? How many retirement accounts do I have scattered? Am I missing tax-saving charitable strategies? Do I understand what’s in my target date fund? Am I 59½+ with rollover options available? The Bottom Line With days remaining in 2024, retirement investors face critical decisions affecting taxes, risk exposure, and 2025 positioning. Portfolio drift has likely pushed your stock allocation far beyond original intentions. Target date funds may contain illiquid investments, opaque fees, and automatic annuitization. But opportunities exist: tax-smart giving, consolidation, in-service rollovers, and rebalancing. “All of these things fit into more of a holistic long-term retirement financial plan,” Mike concluded. “You want everything moving in the right direction to accomplish your goals.” Schedule Your Portfolio Review Is your portfolio drifted into dangerous territory?

The state of Georgia has just suspended the execution of 52-year-old Stacey Humphreys scheduled for this Wednesday. Because two members of its pardons and parole board have alleged conflicts of interest, the clemency hearing scheduled for today has now been “postponed until further notice.” Humphreys had already made headlines earlier for his exorbitant and jaw dropping last meal request which you have to hear to believe. Finally, as Florida continues its record setting year of executions, its last lethal injection is set for Thursday, just as new research shows public opposition for the death penalty is at its highest level in nearly 50 years.

OA1215 - We examine why the potential merger of Warner Brothers Discovery with either Netflix or Paramount would almost be certainly illegal under better circumstances before mourning the imminent loss of the independence of the one government agency which is supposed to stop this kind of thing. What exactly is the Federal Trade Commission, and why was destroying it a top priority for Project 2025? We then take a closer look at this week's oral arguments in Trump v. Slaughter, in which the Supreme Court's MAGA majority is poised to turn the FTC and dozens of other independent agencies into tools for Trump's corruption and graft. Finally, in today's footnote: why is an actual government website hawking the Trump Gold Card, and can the President really just make up a completely new way to give anyone with one million dollars a new path to US citizenship?

In this episode, host Brendon Dennewill sits down with Bill Wilson, Founder and CEO of Pace Pricing and three-time software entrepreneur with over 20 years building and scaling SaaS companies. Bill shares how he evolved from software developer to pricing strategist after recognizing the deep anxiety founders face around pricing decisions. Through his work guiding hundreds of SaaS teams, he's discovered that pricing isn't just a numbers game—it's about alignment, belief, and understanding the jobs customers hire products to do.The conversation explores why pricing, product, and positioning cannot be separated, and how misalignment at the leadership level cascades throughout organizations, leaving money on the table. Bill unpacks his PACE framework (Profile, Architect, Calibrate, Execute) and explains why he shifted from pure data-driven decisions to building belief through iterative validation. He also tackles how AI is fundamentally reshaping SaaS business models, from enabling outcome-based pricing to introducing new cost structures that challenge traditional economies of scale.This episode is essential for SaaS founders, RevOps leaders, product executives, and B2B growth teams looking to unlock revenue through strategic pricing, eliminate cross-functional friction, and prepare their business models for an AI-driven future.What You'll LearnWhy pricing misalignment at the leadership level quietly becomes a company-wide problemHow the PACE framework brings structure and repeatability to pricing decisionsThe difference between solving a problem vs. executing a job to be doneWhy belief, not data, is the true catalyst for pricing changes and adoptionHow AI is accelerating the shift toward outcome-based pricing modelsWhy product, pricing, and positioning can't be separated, and what happens when they areThe single most impactful action a founder can take if pricing hasn't been reviewed in a yearResources MentionedPace Pricing PACE FrameworkJobs to be Done (JTBD)Bob Moesta April Dunford, author of "Obviously Awesome"HubSpot Intercom Is your business ready to scale?

Are you looking to save time, make money, and start winning with less risk? Then head to https://www.ovtlyr.com.If you have ever wondered what trading actually looks like when it is done with structure, discipline, and zero drama, this session pulls the curtain all the way back. This is not about chasing headlines or falling in love with random tickers. This is about following a written plan, cutting what no longer fits, and only adding risk when the market, sectors, and signals all line up.The first big takeaway is how existing trades are managed before anything new even enters the picture. Positions that violate the rules get removed. No hesitation. No emotional attachment. That alone is a massive edge most traders never develop. From there, the focus shifts to the overall market environment. Trend structure, breadth, and fear and greed readings decide whether trading is even allowed that day. If the market is not aligned, the answer is simple. Stand down.Once the market earns permission, the process narrows quickly into sector strength. Some areas are hot. Some are not. Capital only flows toward what is actively working. That means weak sectors are filtered out fast while strong ones get deeper attention. This keeps you positioned where momentum actually lives instead of where hope wants to be.You also get a real look at how watchlists are built and cleaned in real time. Stocks move on and off the favorites list strictly based on signals. No guessing. No opinions. Just yes or no. That speed and clarity removes stress and keeps decisions clean.Here is a snapshot of what gets broken down:✅ How rule based exits remove fear and second guessing✅ How market and sector alignment filter bad trades fast✅ Why boring trades usually outperform exciting ones✅ How order blocks and ATR guide smarter risk control✅ How option contracts are selected using liquidity, delta, and extrinsic valueThe options section is especially eye opening. Instead of random strikes and expirations, the focus stays on tight bid ask spreads, solid open interest, controlled extrinsic value, and higher delta contracts. The goal is not gambling. The goal is structured leverage that behaves with the stock instead of against it.Throughout the session, one message keeps getting reinforced. Have a plan. Execute the plan. Do nothing that breaks the plan. Trading is treated like a business, not a thrill ride. If it feels exciting, something is probably wrong. The most consistent profits come from repeating boring, high probability actions over and over.You also see how rolling positions reduces risk while freeing up capital for new opportunities, how favorites lists simplify decision making, and how exits are visually automated so there is never confusion about what to do next. Even the discussion around hot sectors reinforces an old but powerful idea. You want to be where momentum is already flowing, not where you wish it would go.If you are tired of emotional trading, overtrading, and mixed signals, this session gives you a cleaner way forward. It shows how professionals think, how they filter noise, and how they stay consistent without the stress.Gain instant access to the AI-powered tools and behavioral insights top traders use to spot big moves before the crowd.

On the Wednesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder and Associates, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Christopher Carter to sort through the offense's current issues. Is OC Arthur Smith to blame for what's gone wrong during the skid of four losses in the last six games? Or is the execution simply not good enough right now? From QB Aaron Rodgers having a rough outing against the Los Angeles Chargers. To backup Mason Rudolph missing open receivers in the NFL Week 12 loss to the Chicago Bears? And what are the chances Smith will be on coach Mike Tomlin's staff next season? Our duo tackles those questions, then some of Chris' grades from his film study. Is DK Metcalf's skill set just a bad fit with what the Steelers are trying to do right? Especially in comparison to George Pickens, the guy Metcalf replaced as WR1? Were safeties Jalen Ramsey and Kyle Dugger bad against Caleb Williams and the Bears offense? Or were schematics to blame for their blown coverages? Is the young offensive line led by Broderick Jones, Troy Fautanu, Mason McCormick and Zach Frazier becoming a strength? And is Yaya Black prepared to fill in for the injured Derrick Harmon this week on the defensive line? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In today's episode, I'm showcasing the third chapter of my newest book, Business Genius. Let's talk about one of the biggest differences I see in entrepreneurs: the gap between learning and executing. Most people who come to me genuinely love learning—they've read my books, listened to my podcast, and they're hungry for growth. But loving to learn isn't enough. Real transformation happens when we take what we learn and actually do something with it. To show you what that looks like, I share the story of my friend Dianuh, a talented entrepreneur I met in a mastermind group. She built an incredible live-art business from the ground up. Every time she came to our group, she brought thoughtful questions, soaked up the feedback, and—most importantly—went home and implemented it. At our next meeting, she always had results to share. Her willingness to act on what she learned is exactly why her business took off. And that's the key difference: some people learn to create change, and others learn simply to feel productive. The first group asks, implements, evaluates, and repeats. The second jumps from expert to expert, gathering information but never putting in the real work. They stay stuck, even though they feel busy. I've been there myself. A coach once told me, “It's time to stop asking questions and start executing on what you already know.” And they were right—I needed an information diet. No more new content until I took action. So if you're constantly consuming but not progressing, it might be time for your own information diet too. Because if you want to be a business genius, you can't just learn—you have to do. The winners in business aren't just listeners. They're doers. Get started now with the Inventory Genius Academy. Click here to save $250!
