Chris’s Summary Jim and I are joined again by Dr. Philip Snyder as we continue looking at narrowing the gap between healthspan and lifespan and extending your go-go years. We discuss a listener-submitted article on health-adjusted life expectancy, which argues for concentrating retirement spending in the first decade of retirement rather than following a static, Monte Carlo-based safe withdrawal rate. Dr. Snyder updates his coronary artery calcium scoring correction, introduces the CCTA angiogram for non-calcified plaque, and outlines the four components of exercise, cardio, strength, balance, and flexibility, for maintaining function as we age. Jim’s “Pithy” Summary Chris and I welcome back Dr. Philip Snyder to pick up right where we left off, because folks, this whole thing, all of it, is about extending your go-go years, and I’ll admit this episode gave me some homework of my own. Dr. Snyder corrects something he got wrong last time on coronary artery calcium scoring, breaks down a newer angiogram option for catching the sneaky non-calcified plaque a clean CAC score can miss, and even mentions a blood test called PLAC2 for folks who can’t do the angiogram. A listener sent in a short article about spending more in your first decade of retirement instead of hoarding it for some rainy day that never comes, and it is basically what I have been calling the Fun Number for years. You spend your whole life saving, and then you’re too scared to spend it. My dad used to warn me about the Debbie Downers in his retirement community, folks with plenty of money left but no health left to enjoy it. Nobody wants to be that person, and nobody wants to be the wealthiest person in the graveyard either. Dr. Snyder walks through the four pieces of exercise you need as you get older, cardio, strength, balance, and flexibility, and Chris and I both admit we need a grease gun just to get moving some mornings. We get into tai chi, stretching, why I still cannot make myself do it consistently, and why one-third of people who break a hip never fully bounce back.

It was one of the darkest days in a period that has become the enduring American shorthand for a legal system gone catastrophically wrong.What makes the Salem trials so instructive for lawyers is that they weren't lawless in form—they had judges, juries, indictments, and testimony. They failed on substance, and specifically on evidence. The courts admitted so-called “spectral evidence”: testimony from accusers that the defendant's ghostly apparition had tormented them, something no one else could see or disprove. It was, by its nature, impossible to rebut—the perfect engine for convicting the innocent. The case of George Burroughs, a Harvard-educated former minister, captures the horror of it. At the gallows, Burroughs recited the Lord's Prayer flawlessly—something a witch, according to popular belief, should have been incapable of doing. The crowd was shaken; it looked like proof of innocence. He was hanged anyway. When the evidence and the conclusion pointed in opposite directions, the conclusion won.The significance of August 19, 1692 is that it became a permanent cautionary tale baked into American law. Within months, prominent voices—including the minister Increase Mather, who gave us today's opening quote about the danger of condemning the innocent—turned against the use of spectral evidence, and the trials collapsed. In the centuries since, the reforms we associate with due process—rules of evidence, the presumption of innocence, the requirement of proof that can actually be tested and challenged—are in many ways a long answer to Salem. It's a fitting backdrop for a day when two of our stories turn on evidence: what an insider witness reveals under oath, and what a litigant is allowed to keep hidden. Salem is the reminder of what happens when a legal system stops caring whether its evidence is real.In the landmark trial where 29 states accuse Meta of designing its platforms to addict and harm children, jurors heard from a powerful first witness: Arturo Bejar, a former Facebook engineering director turned whistleblower. Bejar worked at the company for years, and he told the Oakland jury that internal culture put growth ahead of kids' safety—that “move fast and break things” was the mantra, that Meta took a “don't ask, don't tell” approach to whether children under 13 were on the platform, and that the company used the softer euphemism “problematic use” instead of “addiction” in a way that, he testified, undercounted the real harm. His central accusation is that Meta's leadership knew, from its own internal research, what its products were doing to young users—and chose not to act. There's a revealing legal sub-story here, too. Meta tried hard to keep Bejar off the stand, arguing he'd failed to preserve evidence because he deleted some Signal messages with former colleagues. Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers rejected that as a long-shot bid to eliminate a key witness. Meta, for its part, flatly denies the claims, insisting it never set out to hook children and has worked to make its platforms safer. The significance is that this is the evidentiary heart of the case: not abstract allegations about algorithms, but an insider describing, under oath, what he says the company knew and how it talked about it internally. It's the same pattern that broke open the tobacco cases—a witness from inside translating the company's own euphemisms back into plain English for a jury. Whether jurors believe him will shape one of the most consequential product cases in years. Former Meta engineer resumes testimony in landmark trial over social media's harm to young users | ReutersThe Globe and Mail · LPM / NPRA federal judge in Texas has declared the Biden-era “ghost gun” rule unconstitutional—a striking move, because the Supreme Court upheld that very rule just last year. Some background: ghost guns are firearms assembled from parts or kits that lack serial numbers, making them largely untraceable, and in 2022 the ATF issued a rule bringing those parts and kits under federal firearms regulation. Judge Reed O'Connor in Fort Worth had originally struck the rule down as exceeding the agency's statutory authority—but in March 2025, the Supreme Court reversed him, holding the rule was a permissible reading of the Gun Control Act. Here's the maneuver worth understanding: the Supreme Court decided a statutory question—whether the agency had the power to issue the rule. It did not decide the constitutional questions. So O'Connor has now ruled again, this time on entirely different grounds, holding that the rule violates the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms and is unconstitutionally vague under the Fifth Amendment's due process clause. In effect, when the statutory door closed, the challengers walked through the constitutional one, and the same judge let them in—blocking the rule as to certain products for Defense Distributed and members of the Second Amendment Foundation. Gun-control advocates called the decision “egregiously wrong” and predicted an appeal. But there's a genuine wrinkle: the Justice Department that would normally defend a Biden-era rule is now the Trump administration's DOJ, which is far more sympathetic to gun-rights arguments—so whether the government vigorously appeals its own rule's defeat is an open question. The significance is a vivid lesson in how litigation adapts: a Supreme Court win on statutory grounds does not necessarily end a fight if constitutional theories remain, and a determined judge can find a new path to the same result. Biden-era ‘ghost guns' restrictions are unconstitutional, US judge rules | ReutersUS News · Maryland Daily RecordThe Trump administration has invoked presidential privilege to keep secret the identities of the people who crafted its executive orders targeting major law firms. The context: last year the American Bar Association sued the White House and Justice Department over what it calls a “law firm intimidation policy”—a series of executive orders aimed at punishing firms for representing clients, causes, or positions the president dislikes, and, the ABA argues, coercing lawyers into dropping those clients. In discovery, the ABA wants to know who was behind the orders and whether officials specifically intended to discourage firms from taking on cases against the government. The administration's response is what's notable. It has formally invoked the presidential communications privilege—the same doctrine at the heart of the Nixon tapes case—but stretched it in an aggressive direction: the DOJ argues the privilege shields not just the substance of confidential advice, but the very identities of the people who gave it, whether or not they're executive-branch employees, and whether or not they're even lawyers. In other words, the government is claiming it can keep secret who wrote the orders. Here's the tension. The presidential communications privilege is real and important—presidents need candid advice—but it's qualified, not absolute; the Supreme Court in United States v. Nixon made clear it can yield to a sufficient showing of need. Extending it to conceal the mere identity of outside advisers, people who may not work for the government at all, is a notably broad claim. The significance is a double irony worth sitting with: these are executive orders designed to punish lawyers for their advocacy, and now the government is using one of the law's most powerful secrecy doctrines to hide who dreamed them up. Whether a court accepts that will say a lot about how far executive privilege can be stretched to shield the process behind a controversial policy. Trump invokes presidential privilege in lawsuit over law firm orders | ReutersAbove the Law · Law & CrimeAnd finally, in a piece I wrote for Forbes this week, I take up a question the president has apparently been chewing on: can the federal government stop New York's new pied-à-terre tax—the surcharge on second homes I've written about before? My short answer is that there's a federal solution, but it almost certainly isn't the one Trump wants, because he has almost nothing he can do on his own.Start with the executive branch. The president cannot simply nullify a state tax by executive order—that's not a power he has. The Justice Department could jump into the existing litigation or file its own federal challenge, but neither goes anywhere useful. The big obstacle is the Tax Injunction Act, a federal statute that keeps federal district courts out of the business of blocking state tax collection whenever taxpayers have an adequate remedy in their own state courts—which, here, they do. And when the DOJ once tried to get around that law by suing on behalf of homeowners over an allegedly discriminatory New York property-tax system, a federal court said no, you can't evade the Tax Injunction Act that way. So the executive route is basically a dead end; the administration can litigate, apply pressure, and post on Truth Social, but it can't make the tax disappear.Congress, though, has a real—if difficult—path, and this is where it gets genuinely interesting as a matter of federalism. Congress has more power over state taxation than the president does. It has limited state taxes before: a federal railroad law, for instance, bars certain discriminatory property taxes on railroads and even gives federal courts jurisdiction to enforce it despite the Tax Injunction Act. And in a case called Arizona Public Service v. Snead, the Supreme Court upheld a federal statute enacted specifically to preempt a New Mexico tax that Congress found discriminated against interstate commerce. So using its affirmative Commerce Clause power, Congress can prohibit state taxes it decides burden interstate commerce. But there are two catches I walk through. First, anti-commandeering: Congress can't order New York to repeal anything—it would have to regulate all states directly, invalidating a defined category of tax. Second, and harder, New York drafted this tax cleverly to dodge the obvious constitutional attack: it taxes based on use—whether a home is your primary residence—not based on whether you're an in-stater or an out-of-stater. A New Jerseyan's Manhattan apartment can be exempt if it's their primary home; a New Yorker's second home gets taxed. That use-not-residency design makes the usual discrimination claim much harder, and it means Congress would have to build a long, strained logical chain connecting a residence-neutral property tax to interstate commerce, then tailor a preemption statute to it and defend the whole contraption in court. So, yes, a federal fix is theoretically possible—but it runs entirely through Congress, and it's a heavy lift. Which is a lawyer's way of saying there's probably not much the administration can actually do. My bet is that Trump just stops posting about it.Trump Can't Stop New York's Pied-À-Terre Tax This is a public episode.

The Operational Blueprint for High-Yield Community Fitness: Efficient Systems, High-Touch Coaching, and Authentic Brand Growth with Dan KachtikIn a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge sat down with Dan Kachtik, Owner, Programmer, and Coach/Trainer at King William District CrossFit, to examine how local service businesses and fitness operators can build resilient, high-retention communities without sacrificing operational efficiency. Dan, a veteran fitness programmer and gym owner based in San Antonio, Texas, details how busy professionals and entrepreneurs can achieve peak physical condition with concise, highly structured training protocols. This conversation delivers an intentional blueprint for gym owners, fitness enthusiasts, and business leaders who want to leverage personalized coaching, implement high-touch nutrition systems, foster genuine community accountability, and utilize authentic media strategies to scale local brand authority.The Functional Fitness Engine: Streamlining Time-Efficient Workouts, High-Touch Nutrition, and Local Brand MarketingThe primary operational constraint preventing busy executives and founders from maintaining long-term physical health is a lack of time-efficient, structured workout systems that fit seamlessly into demanding professional schedules. Dan Kachtik explains that high-volume, multi-hour gym routines are inherently unsustainable for time-poor professionals, whereas constantly varied functional training delivers maximum physiological results in just three to four hours per week. By combining strength, gymnastics, and cardiovascular conditioning into concise, one-hour coached sessions, members achieve comprehensive physical fitness while mitigating burnout. Partnering this physical training with hands-on, expert coaching ensures that movements are modified safely for individual needs and past injuries, protecting long-term physical health and driving consistent member retention.Extending member results beyond physical gym walls requires an intentional shift toward high-touch digital nutrition support and flexible remote programming. Traditional, static meal plans routinely fail because they lack real-time accountability and fail to adapt to changing executive lifestyles or biological aging. By utilizing modern messaging channels to provide daily, real-time nutrition check-ins and developing custom remote programming tailored to available travel equipment, fitness operators can deliver personalized value anywhere in the world. This hybrid service model expands the business's market reach, ensuring clients maintain dietary discipline and training momentum even when traveling for high-stakes business operations.Furthermore, building long-term local market dominance demands that business owners replace expensive, impersonal digital advertising campaigns with authentic, story-driven media guesting. Appearing as a guest on local and niche podcasts allows gym owners and service providers to share real-world expertise, build immediate trust, and connect directly with high-value target audiences. While artificial intelligence and automated software can streamline administrative scheduling and backend communications, human accountability remains the non-negotiable core of client success and community building. When personalized coaching, daily high-touch nutrition support, inclusive community culture, and authentic podcast media strategies are synthesized into a single operational framework, business leaders eliminate customer acquisition friction, elevate member lifetime value, and predictably expand enterprise valuation.About Dan KachtikDan Kachtik is the Owner, Programmer, and Coach/Trainer at King William District CrossFit, a prominent fitness programmer, and an expert in functional strength and conditioning. Drawing from years of hands-on experience coaching busy professionals, business owners, and athletes in San Antonio, Texas, Dan specializes in building inclusive, high-retention fitness communities. He is a recognized health and business strategist focused on helping individuals optimize physical performance through efficient training, high-touch nutrition coaching, and authentic brand storytelling.About King William District CrossFitKing William District CrossFit is an elite functional fitness gym and health coaching facility engineered to deliver efficient, safe, and community-driven physical conditioning.

Friday, 7 August 2026   Now when the chief priests and Pharisees heard His parables, they perceived that He was speaking of them. Matthew 21:45   “And having heard, the chief priests and the Pharisees, His parables, they knew that concerning them, He speaks.” (CG)   In the previous verse, Jesus told the leaders He was speaking about the results of falling on the stone or having the stone fall on someone. With that, it next says, “And having heard, the chief priests and the Pharisees, His parables, they knew that concerning them, He speaks.”   The light finally dawned on them. Jesus has been telling them these parables, but their minds were completely dulled to the fact that He was speaking His words about them. Jesus spoke of two sons being asked to go into the vineyard. The first said that he wouldn't, but later did. The second said he would, but later didn't.   After that, Jesus explained to them what He was speaking about. The next parable was about the wicked vinedressers who killed the servants sent to them and then killed the son. Once Jesus cited the psalm and then told them that the kingdom would be taken from them and given to another nation, they realized the parable itself was about them. They are the wicked vinedressers.   That would have been a bitter pill for them to swallow, and it would have enraged them. That reaction will be seen in the verse to come.   Life application: How often do we not see what is evident to others? We let our own sense of pride or self-worth shut out our own failings. Instead, we look at the failings of others while overlooking the same type of things in ourselves. James speaks of this -   “If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself,' you do well; 9 but if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors. 10 For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all. 11 For He who said, ‘Do not commit adultery,' also said, ‘Do not murder.' Now if you do not commit adultery, but you do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law. 12 So speak and so do as those who will be judged by the law of liberty. 13 For judgment is without mercy to the one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.” James 2:8-13   We may not commit the same offenses as others, but our offenses are no less wrong. A single sin eternally separates us from God. Jesus is the answer to this problem. When we come to Christ, all sin is forgiven. As this is true, when someone with his own sinful life comes to Christ, he will receive the same forgiveness.   Extending that thought to others, we can see that no matter how bad someone is, he can be redeemed. Our job is to compassionately tell all people about Jesus. If they reject Him, that is their decision. But we shouldn't look down on others because of the sin they are stuck in until they have made that decision.   If they reject Jesus, we should pity them. Eternity is a long time, and we are all going to spend it somewhere. Jesus spoke to the leaders of Israel, warning them of what was ahead. They chose to reject Him. But even after crucifying Him, they could have come to Him and been saved.   Let us continue to be positive examples of Jesus for others to see. It isn't easy when someone is so violently opposed to the message of Christ, but it is right that we try to always uphold our witness before others.   Lord God, help us to remember that others who have not called on You have no hope of eternity with You. May we be willing to extend ourselves to the greatest extent possible to bring a chance of salvation through sharing the gospel. To Your glory, we pray. Amen.

The Finance Minister says fuel support will stay in place until the Government is confident prices won't spike again. It's extending the in-work tax credit, higher mileage rates for health workers and eligible patients, and reimbursements for relievers. That's despite average pump prices sitting below $3 for four weeks. Nicola Willis told Mike Hosking the measures will return to Cabinet once prices fall below that mark again. She says it's important to note that the support can only come back with legislation - which isn't easy. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

BUFFALO, NY — August 3, 2026 — A new #research paper was #published in Volume 18 of Aging on July 17, 2026, titled “Selective targeting of cancer and senescence via shared metabolic shifts extends lifespan of old mice.” The study was led by first author Zachery R. Robinson, and corresponding author and Aging editorial board member Irina M. Conboy, both from the Department of Bioengineering and QB3 Institute, University of California, Berkeley. The researchers developed a new combination therapy that selectively targets both cancer cells and senescent cells by exploiting metabolic vulnerabilities shared by these two cell types. In laboratory studies and aged mice, the treatment selectively eliminated senescent cells and reduced cancer cell viability while improving physical performance and extending lifespan without significant toxicity to healthy tissues. Cancer and aging are closely linked. As people age, senescent cells accumulate throughout the body. Although these cells no longer divide, they remain metabolically active and release inflammatory molecules known as the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), which contributes to chronic inflammation, tissue dysfunction, and tumor progression. Existing therapies such as the BCL-2/BCL-xL inhibitor navitoclax (ABT-263) can eliminate both cancer cells and senescent cells but require doses that frequently cause thrombocytopenia, a potentially serious reduction in platelet counts that has limited their clinical use.

The House passes a CR with two months left on the clock.A punt is a concession you make when you've run out of downs. The House made this one on first down. With more than two months left in the fiscal year and none of the twelve appropriations bills finished, it passed a continuing resolution funding the government at fiscal year 2026 levels through December 4th, largely on party lines. Appropriations Chair Tom Cole calls the bill clean. Steve Ellis and TCS Director of Research and Policy Josh Sewell take that word apart. Clean means no partisan poison pills. It does not mean neutral. Extending the current base level for the Pentagon, for the Justice Department, for every agency, is a choice about priorities — just one nobody has to vote on.Then there's the White House anomalies list, transmitted before every CR. Some items are housekeeping: updating a program date, dropping funding for an inauguration three years away. Others are not. The list includes $1 billion to start building a Trump-class battleship whose design isn't finished — the same concurrent-design approach that produced an F-35 fleet fully mission capable about 30 percent of the time. It includes $3.2 billion in defense-wide procurement justified only by information available at a higher classification. And it would shield unobligated One Big Beautiful Bill Act funds from the standard 8 percent sequestration clawback, while the Pentagon sits on $89 billion of that money unspent and asks separately for $73 billion for the war with Iran.Steve and Josh also dig into Senate Majority Leader Thune's threat to fall back on reconciliation if Democrats won't deal, the Lankford-Hassan bill that would make automatic two-week CRs painful enough to keep members in town and working, and the record underneath all of it: Congress has finished all twelve appropriations bills on time four times in more than fifty years. The last was 1997.

Keith Redford is the Director of Fleet Operations at JAM Best-One Tire, a commercial tire and fleet service organization with locations across Michigan and Ohio. He began his commercial tire career at Belle Tire, moved into tire wholesale, and joined JAM in 2005.Redford brings more than two decades of experience to fleet tire management. His work focuses on controlling operating costs, strengthening preventive maintenance, and building service relationships that support fleets over the long term.In this episode…Commercial fleet customers need more than a shop that responds when a tire fails. They need a service partner who understands their operations, monitors spending, and recommends products that make sense for their equipment.Redford's approach is built around predictability. A structured program gives fleet operators a clearer view of annual tire expenses and the maintenance decisions driving those costs. Regular account reviews compare spending with prior years and connect the numbers to changes inside the customer's business.That creates a real tension for tire dealers. Good fleet tire management often means helping customers purchase fewer tires. Redford treats lower customer spending as the foundation of a longer relationship rather than a threat to immediate sales. Trust creates room for fleet growth, referrals, and deeper service partnerships.Consistent execution also depends on culture. Technicians, salespeople, and managers bring different skills to the operation, but no role succeeds on its own. The work ultimately supports drivers carrying goods and returning home safely.Here's a glimpse of what you'll learn: [01:26] Career progression in commercial tire sales and fleet operations[03:43] JAM Best-One's commercial tire business formation and growth[07:38] Extending national-account service standards to smaller fleets[12:01] Employee retention through a people-centered service culture[18:04] Commercial truck utilization as an economic indicator[20:26] Reducing fleet operating costs through long-term service partnerships[23:53] Applying a seek-to-understand leadership approachResources mentioned in this episode:Keith Redford on LinkedInJAM Best-One Tire WebsiteTread PartnersGain Traction Podcast on YouTubeGain Traction Podcast WebsiteMike Edge on LinkedInQuotable Moments:“We cannot be successful apart from one another because we all have different skill sets.”“At the end of the day, I want my people to know that they're valued.”“Our job is much more important than that. It's about people keeping people safe on the road.”“We're looking for those 20-year relationships.”“The more we understand their business, the better we can help them.”Action Steps:Create a fleet tire management baseline by pulling the previous 12 months of tire and mechanical-service invoices for each fleet account. Separate recurring maintenance from unplanned replacements and identify the accounts with the largest spending changes.Schedule account reviews with key fleet customers. Compare current spending with the previous year, document operational changes, and agree on the next maintenance priority.Standardize a small-fleet service program across every location. Define inspection intervals, reporting expectations, product recommendations, and the person responsible for customer communication.Review handoffs between sales, technicians, and location managers. Assign ownership at each stage so recommendations reach the customer and approved work reaches the bay without delay.Measure the relationship beyond monthly tire sales. Track annual customer spending, maintenance consistency, account retention, and referrals to show the long-term value of the program.

Dr. Bill Andrews is the Founder and CEO of Sierra Sciences; a company focused on finding ways to extend human lifespan and health span. Bill has been featured in Popular Science, The Today Show, The Doctor's TV Show, and numerous documentaries on the topic of life extension. Bill co-stars with Dr. Aubrey de Grey in the documentary “The Immortalists” that made it to the “Top-10-List” to receive an Oscar in 2014Bill is also an ultramarathon runner with over 100 ultramarathons under his belt. Bill believes that consistent and fun endurance exercise is one of the best ways to reduce inflammation and slow aging.Speaking at the Cell Surgical Conference 2024Bill's areas of research have included Dwarfism, Cancer, CardiovascularDisease, Inflammation, Osteoporosis, Anemia, Multiple Sclerosis,Aging, and many others. Before founding Sierra Sciences Bill was aMedical Researcher at Armos Corporation, Codon Corporation, BerlexBiosciences, Geron Corporation, and EOS Biotech. Bill played key rolesin the discoveries and inventions of:Human Growth Hormone (hGH), Prorennin (Prochymosin), Tissue Plasminogen Activator(tPA), Osteo-Inductive Factor (OIF), Thrombomodulin, Erythropoietin (EPO), Beta-Seron, HTSite Specific Mutagenesis, Various Cancer Treatments (Rytelo, Telomelysin, GV1001, UV1,mutant hTR, and others), Telomerase, TRAPeze, TA-65, hTERT mRNA RT-PCR HTS,Telomerase Gene Therapy, C0314818 (TAM818), TeloSMRT, Isagenesis (Product B), Premere, Telo-Vital, Rytelo, and many more.In 1997 Bill was awarded 2nd Place as National Inventor of the Year for his cancer research. In the early-to-mid 1990s, while at Geron Corporation, Bill led the research to discover both the RNA and protein components of human telomerase, the enzyme responsible forpreventing telomeres from shortening in our reproductive cells. He has determined that the only real definite “hard-stop” to lifespan and health span, that is true for all humans, as well as non-human primates, cats, dogs, horses, sheep, pig, and deer, is “Telomere Shortening”. No matter what else we do to treat aging, aging will neverbe cured and/or reversed unless we also solve the telomere shortening problem.Presently, the primary focus of Sierra Sciences is to find ways toproduce telomerase and lengthen telomeres in all cells of the humanbody, not just our reproductive cells, and eliminate this key hard-stop tosuper-longevity. But Bill is aware that the war against aging is not goingto be won with just one battle.Contact Dr. Bill Andrews:website: https://sierrasci.com/https://www.facebook.com/telomere.bill.andrewshttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61551532301673linkedin.com/in/billandrewsphdhttps://www.youtube.com/@billandrewsphdhttps://www.youtube.com/@sierrasciences1625https://www.instagram.com/yonderssi/Dr. Kimberley LinertSpeaker, Author, Broadcaster, Mentor, Trainer, Behavioral OptometristEvent Planners- I am available to speak at your event.

Before the rogues can reach legendary proficiency, the episode must first survive the real high-level threats: Producer Dan being sleepy, Tyler's aggressively early bedtime policy, Ash explaining the freedom of having no kids, a Starfinder boss who walks through space walls, and the devastating possibility that a spider might disrupt Tyler's routine. Once everyone finally remembers this is supposed to be a Pathfinder 2e rogue episode, the party returns to levels 11 through 20, where rogues stop being "sneaky knife people" and become invisible, paralyzing, truth-proof, pants-stealing engines of felony. Show Notes This episode continues the RPGBOT.Podcast Pathfinder 2e rogue build series, picking up at level 11 and carrying the Mastermind, Scoundrel, and Ruffian builds all the way to level 20. Tyler, Ash, and Randall revisit their characters and explore what happens when rogues move beyond "I stab the off-guard guy" and into "I delete actions, rewrite memories, steal impossible objects, ignore magical detection, and turn violence into a pyramid scheme." Tyler's Mastermind continues to lean into Recall Knowledge, ranged support, and battlefield control. His rogue knows things about things, then stabs those things, then tells his friends how to stab those things better. Randall's Ruffian keeps building into the direct approach: intimidation, bleed, debilitating strikes, reactive setups, and the wonderful simplicity of punching someone so effectively that an ally also gets to hit them. Ash's Catfolk Scoundrel doubles down on deception, stealth, social nonsense, and the extremely upsetting power to convince someone that he has secretly been part of their life the whole time. The mid-level progression brings several major rogue upgrades. Critical Debilitation and Bloody Debilitation add nasty new rider effects. Greater Rogue Reflexes turns Reflex saves into a comedy routine where explosions are mostly someone else's problem. Double Debilitation lets rogues stack problems on top of problems. Master Strike gives rogues a terrifying late-game opener that can paralyze, knock unconscious, or kill a target if the dice cooperate. The episode also highlights how wild high-level skill feats become. Reveal Machinations lets Ash emotionally destroy someone by claiming to be their secret dad. Scare to Death lets Randall intimidate people so hard their hearts may simply quit. Legendary Thief opens the door to absurd theft, including the possibility of stealing weapons, armor, or, naturally, pants. Blank Slate makes Ash so good at lying that divination magic simply refuses to perceive him. True Perception gets called out as a must-have, because permanent true sight is extremely hard to argue with. By level 20, everyone converges on Enduring Debilitation because sometimes the correct answer is obvious. Extending a debilitation for a full minute is brutal, especially when it means a boss might lose a third of their actions for most of a fight. The hosts also shout out other capstone-style options like Hidden Paragon, Steel Essence, Perfect Distraction, Reactive Distraction, and Craft Anything, showing that high-level rogues can be invisible legends, impossible thieves, decoy-swapping nightmares, or walking item factories. In classic RPGBOT fashion, the episode is equal parts mechanical breakdown, build advice, and conversational derailment. It is a guide to high-level rogues, but it is also a warning: once a rogue reaches legendary proficiency, the laws of physics, social trust, and basic workplace safety are all optional. Key Takeaways This episode covers Pathfinder 2e rogues from levels 11 through 20, continuing the three builds from Part 1: Tyler's Mastermind, Ash's Catfolk Scoundrel, and Randall's Ruffian. High-level rogues become much more than sneak attackers. They gain stronger saves, better weapon proficiency, powerful debilitations, absurd skill feats, and some truly ridiculous capstone options. Incredible Scout is a strong party-facing general feat because it can improve initiative for the whole group when using the Scout exploration activity. Critical Debilitation is a standout level 12 option because slowed is one of the nastiest conditions in Pathfinder 2e, and even a success can still matter. Bloody Debilitation gives rogues a straightforward damage option by adding significant persistent bleed damage. Greater Rogue Reflexes makes rogues extremely hard to punish with Reflex-based effects, especially combined with their already strong Reflex progression. Leave an Opening is excellent for team damage because it lets an ally make a reactive strike when the rogue critically hits an off-guard target. Double Debilitation lets rogues apply two debilitations at once, but the interaction matters. If one debilitation ends, both end, so sometimes one strong debilitation is better than stacking. Reveal Machinations is one of the funniest skill feats discussed. Ash frames it as convincing an enemy that you have secretly been their father, mentor, or recurring trauma goblin all along. Scare to Death is both mechanically useful and hilarious. Even when it does not kill something outright, frightened conditions are still valuable. Dispelling Slice gives rogues a way to make casters sad by cutting through active magical effects on an off-guard target. Legendary Thief opens up absurd theft possibilities, including stealing things that should be impossible to steal under normal circumstances. Blank Slate is peak Scoundrel nonsense. Ash becomes so good at deception that detection, revelation, and scrying magic can simply fail to notice him. Powerful Sneak makes Sneak Attack more reliable by helping against precision immunity or resistance and improving low sneak attack damage rolls. Master Strike is a terrifying level 19 feature that lets rogues add a major incapacitating effect when they damage an off-guard target. True Perception gets called out as an incredible general feat because constant true sight is useful on almost any character who can qualify. Enduring Debilitation is the big level 20 winner. Making a debilitation last for a full minute can dramatically change a boss fight. Hidden Paragon, Steel Essence, Craft Anything, Perfect Distraction, and Reactive Distraction show how high-level rogues can specialize into legendary stealth, impossible theft, crafting absurdity, or decoy-based nonsense. The Mastermind becomes a knowledge-based support striker, the Ruffian becomes a fear-and-bleed melee bully, and the Scoundrel becomes a deception-fueled social and stealth menace. The real lesson: high-level rogues do not just break into places. They break action economy, memories, magic detection, enemy confidence, and possibly the pants economy.

Daniel Oliver, Co-Founder and CEO of Rejuvenate Bio, believes it's possible and is already making it a reality. Rejuvenate Bio has developed a breakthrough approach, beginning with pets, to address multiple chronic diseases with one therapy.“We actually have taken the wealth of aging science that's out there,” Daniel explained, “and have been able to turn them into one-time therapies. Effectively, we're able to inject a patient—whether it's a dog, a cat, or a human—and the data suggests we can treat multiple different diseases.”Daniel shared his excitement about testing these therapies on animals, highlighting initial successes with several high-profile pharmaceutical companies, including Merck's animal health division, which has also invested in the company. Early results show these treatments not only improve health outcomes but also have the potential to be safe, accessible, and affordable.Unlike traditional gene therapies for humans, which can cost millions, Rejuvenate Bio's approach for animals carries a dramatically lower price tag. “We've reduced the manufacturing costs to the point where we can treat chronic, lifetime diseases at around $100 per dose,” Daniel said. This affordability has broad implications for human treatments too, ensuring accessibility beyond just the wealthy elite.Beyond the practical applications, the mission of Rejuvenate Bio is deeply human. Chronic diseases, Daniel noted, account for enormous healthcare costs and significant suffering. He envisions a future where people and pets alike can experience more healthy years together. “What if,” he posed, “instead of a laundry list of side effects, new treatments came with a list of novel benefits?”Rejuvenate Bio is currently hosting an equity crowdfunding campaign on Wefunder, inviting anyone to invest and be part of their journey. This move aligns with Daniel's vision of building a community of supporters who share the mission. “We want folks to come in, become evangelists for our technology, and grow with us,” he said.tl;dr:Daniel Oliver discusses Rejuvenate Bio's one-time treatments for pets to extend healthy lives.The therapies have shown promise for treating chronic diseases in animals and potentially humans.Daniel shares Rejuvenate Bio's affordability strategy: manufacturing doses for as low as $100.Rejuvenate Bio's recent partnerships with Merck and a live Wefunder campaign expand their impact.Daniel explains how curiosity and humility fuel his leadership at Rejuvenate Bio, emphasizing collaboration.Daniel's company offers exciting hope—not just for the families whose pets will lead healthier lives, but for society as it considers how this innovation could reshape human healthcare.How to Develop Curiosity and Humility As a SuperpowerDaniel attributes his success to a combination of curiosity and humility. “When you're doing these types of startup companies, you're never going to come to the table with all the skills and experiences you need,” Daniel said. His curiosity drives him to seek knowledge and advice, while his humility allows him to admit there is always more to learn. By embracing these values, Daniel has built an adaptable, reflective leadership style that encourages innovation and resilience.Daniel's humility and curiosity were tested during his time at Caltech, where the demanding academics overwhelmed him. He learned to collaborate with peers and seek help from teaching assistants to overcome challenges. “The homework problems were not something I could accomplish alone,” he admitted, emphasizing how teamwork and the willingness to learn built his resilience. This experience taught him to embrace failure as a learning opportunity—something he carries into his leadership at Rejuvenate Bio.Tips for Developing This SuperpowerDiscipline Yourself to Listen: Focus on understanding the full message rather than preparing an immediate response.Be Open to Feedback: Acknowledge that there's always a better way and commit to continuous improvement.Embrace Collaboration: Recognize that achieving great things often requires the strengths of a team.Seek Expertise: Learn from others with specialized knowledge, even when you succeed.Live and Learn: Foster a culture where risk-taking is encouraged and failures become growth opportunities.By following Daniel's example and advice, you can make curiosity and humility a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

HR2 - Falcons big offseason move was new regime hire not extending Drake London In hour two Ali Mac, Dylan Mathews, and Beau Morgan quickly touch on some of the biggest headlines around the local and national sports scene, continue to react to Seth Walder of ESPN handing out offseason grades for all 32 NFL teams and giving the Atlanta Falcons a B- offseason grade, explain why they think the Falcons B- offseason grade that Seth gave them is fair, but also explain why they think Seth is wrong when he says the Falcons biggest move of the offseason was extending Drake London. Then, Ali, Dylan, and Beau play a round of Which One for the halftime portion of the show, where Ali gives Dylan and Beau two different scenarios or options and the guys have to pick one, including picking which Braves pitcher they would choose to have back right now if they could just snap their fingers and get them back between Spencer Schwellenbach, Spencer Strider, and Joe Jimenez. The Morning Shift crew also continues to recap and react to the Atlanta Braves losing to the St. Louis Cardinals last night 5-3 in game one of their three game series in Atlanta, talk about how the Braves offense is no longer producing enough to mask their need for starting pitching, continue to react to the news that the Atlanta Hawks and center Jock Landale have reportedly agreed to a one-year $14 million-dollar deal, and then close out hour two by continuing to react to the news that LeBron James will return for his 24th season in the NBA but not with the Los Angeles Lakers, and discuss which team they think LeBron will play for next season.

Is it time to let it go?Whether it's a grudge, resentment, disappointment, or a story you've been telling yourself for years, holding on can take a tremendous amount of energy. It can impact your relationships, your peace of mind, and your ability to move forward.In this episode of The Almost Daily Podcast, I explore the idea of forgiveness, letting go, and the expectations we place on both ourselves and others. We discuss why people hold on to old hurts, how our stories become reinforced over time, and why seeing our own blind spots can be one of the most challenging and rewarding parts of personal growth.This isn't a conversation about excusing bad behavior or pretending difficult experiences didn't happen. It's a conversation about the freedom that can come from releasing what no longer serves you and deciding what kind of life you want to carry forward.Topics Covered:• Is it time to let go?• The emotional cost of holding grudges• Why forgiveness can be difficult• The stories we tell ourselves• Expectations and disappointment• Seeing your own blind spots• Extending an olive branch• Taking responsibility for your part• Letting go without reconciliation• Social media and reinforced beliefs• Choosing peace over being right• The value of self-reflectionThank you for listening to The Almost Daily Podcast.Sometimes the heaviest things we carry are the stories, resentments, and disappointments we've held onto for years. Letting go doesn't change the past, but it can change what you carry into the future.

What if the same brain states people spend years chasing through psychedelics could be accessed through meditation alone, and in as little as seven days? In this fascinating solo episode, Darin Olien explores groundbreaking new research from University of California San Diego, Harvard University, Massachusetts General Hospital, and University of Montreal suggesting that meditation may produce brain patterns remarkably similar to those observed during psychedelic experiences. From the suppression of the default mode network and increases in neural complexity to neuroplasticity, endogenous opioids, and measurable biological changes in the bloodstream, Darin unpacks the science behind one of the most powerful, and completely free tools available to human beings. He also walks listeners through a practical seven-day protocol combining focused-attention meditation, Vipassana, breathwork, walking meditation, and loving-kindness practices designed to help cultivate greater awareness, emotional resilience, cognitive flexibility, and inner peace. What You'll Learn The groundbreaking UC San Diego meditation study and its surprising findings Why meditation may create brain states similar to psilocybin What the default mode network is and how it shapes everyday thinking How meditation may reduce rumination, anxiety, and self-referential thought The concept of brain criticality and cognitive flexibility Why post-meditation blood samples stimulated neuronal growth How meditation influences neuroplasticity and whole-body biology The differences between Samatha and Vipassana meditation What advanced monks are teaching scientists about

Meditation is not simply a relaxation practice—it appears to be a biological, neurological, and consciousness-altering intervention capable of reshaping the brain, changing the body, and transforming how we experience reality. The question is not whether the door exists. The question is whether we are willing to sit still long enough to walk through it."
