In this episode we answer emails from Niek, Dustin, Dale, Hydromod and .  We discuss adopting a golden ratio mix and not having unrealistic expectations, the plusses and minuses of the AI-version-of-you fad, the new website and why trying to use gold futures for leverage might not be the best choice for your gambling problem.Link:  Father McKenna Center Donation Page:  Donate - Father McKenna CenterBreathless Unedited AI-Bot Summary:Ever had a month where nearly everything in your portfolio rose and wondered if the universe broke? We unpack why September's across-the-board lift made sense in a weaker-dollar world, what temporary positive correlation looks like in practice, and how a golden ratio-style allocation helps you ride the wave without refreshing your account every hour.A listener's note from the road kicks off a candid conversation about trusting diversified portfolios and ignoring daily noise. From there, we dig into the hype and hazards of AI finance gurus—yes, including Ray Dalio's “digital Ray.” We talk usefulness, accuracy gaps, and the risk of forming unhealthy attachments to bots that sound wise but miss nuance. Along the way, we challenge a popular myth: that copying successful people's habits will unlock their results. Extraordinary investors aren't great because they make their beds; they're great because they're extraordinarily skilled. For the rest of us, evidence-based allocations, low costs, and sensible rebalancing are the habits that pay.We also get practical. You'll hear our simple distribution shortcut (divide by 240 for a 5% annualized monthly draw), plus a tour of our streamlined website with faster search and full transcripts. Then we roll up our sleeves on gold exposure: why futures create rollover and curve headaches, when ETFs and return-stacked funds can be smarter, and how modest, low-cost margin—or leveraging equities instead—can open room for diversifiers like gold and managed futures. The throughline is clarity over complexity: build a portfolio that bends without breaking, whether the dollar dips, inflation flares, or correlations get weird for a while.If this resonates, follow the show, leave a quick review, and share it with a friend who's wrestling with allocation choices.

“If a door closes, quit banging on it. Whatever was behind it was not meant for you. Consider that perhaps the door was closed because you're worth so much more than what was on the other side.” – Karen Salmansohn Youtube: https://youtu.be/2DkLl2JHtQI Check Out These Highlights: I chose this quote because I often feel this way.  When doors close or something ends, I ponder if I did something that caused this change.  It could be good or bad, but it doesn't really matter.  The end result is when those doors close, stop banking on them, and think of the next possible step forward. I personally love the quotes that share the Universe is always conspiring to help our higher self.  There's a comfort in knowing that the future is better and bigger than I can imagine today. This is a fascinating topic, and I'm excited to have my guest, Cynthia Rivard, back for a follow-up show as we delve deeper into our previous conversation.  I will include the link to that show in the show notes, so you can revisit it and listen for even more inspiration.

Today, the Two Mikes sat down with evolutionary psychologist Edward Dutton to expose the insidious rise of wokeism as a weaponized ideological regime aiming to dismantle Western civilization. Dr. Dutton pulled no punches in tracing the origins of this anti-reality cult, warning that its spread throughout Britain and the U.S. signals nothing short of civilizational suicide. From the collapse of Christianity to the glorification of weakness, Dutton laid out how the woke agenda is ushering in societal collapse, lawlessness, and mass mental illness. Only a return to truth, tradition, and faith, he argues, can break the grip of this neo-pagan tyranny.Follow Two Mikes on Pickax: https://pickax.com/twomikesGet your FREE Gold & Silver Guide from My Gold Guy: https://mygoldguy.com/twomikes

402 Freedom in Healing Throughout life we may make decisions, or be subject to decisions made involving us. Whether it's first or second hand, inevitably we begin to believe in a pattern in the behavior around us, oftentimes leading to self doubt and worse. However, if we keep moving forward, actively choosing to make the best of a situation, to learn and grow in order to better ourselves for ourselves, we will find our freedom in healing.   In today's episode, Sarah Elkins and Holli Tabren McEachern discuss the importance of growth, healing, and the honesty that comes with self reflection. Honesty not just with the world, but with yourself and what has happened to make you feel the way you do, and how it triggers you.    Highlights Empathy in a world of cruelty is the bravest rebellion.  How have you been programmed?  Have you ever encountered favoritism?  What choices are you making that reflect your behavior? Do you feel like you have to justify these choices?   Quotes “I think it's because we look at society, and we look at the grandma with the grandkids and the grandma always spoils the grandkids. You have this program, like your program, program from the way things are. Program from the way everybody does things.”    “And God, he prepares you for what's next. You don't know it's preparation. You don't realize that all these things that happen in your life, even the bad choices you make, will prepare you for the next thing.”  “You have to change you before anything in the situation can change.”   Dear Listeners it is now your turn, Where are you incarcerated? What are you choosing not to see in your own decisions? That maybe with a little light on them can help you find more satisfaction and happiness in your life. It's a simple question, but the answer might be tricky. And, as always, thank you for listening.    About Holli Holli Tabren is an author, speaker, mentor, and reentry specialist dedicated to helping women rebuild their lives and reclaim their power after incarceration. Once sentenced to 25 years in prison, she served 10 years before her case was overturned transforming her pain into purpose. Holli now leads the Becoming HER Framework—Healed, Extraordinary, Resilient—through workshops, books, and her soon-to-launch app, equipping justice-impacted women with tools for healing, entrepreneurship, and resilience. She is the author of Blood Ain't Thicker, The Path2Redemption Anthology, and her newest release, Becoming HER. Featured on national stages and news outlets, Holli shares her story of transformation as living proof that freedom isn't just about release; it's about rebuilding.

And be sure to check out her website Holli Tabren!   About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision." In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana. Be sure to check out the Storytelling For Professionals Course as well to make sure you nail that next interview!

PREVIEW: European Allies Consider 'Drone Wall' Amid Russian Harassment and Political Confusion Guest:Mary Kissel The discussion between John Batchelor and Mary Kissel centers on an extraordinary emergency meeting held in Copenhagen by the EU and NATO—not including the US—to address repeated harassment by drones presumed to be launched by Russia. The allies are discussing creating a "drone wall." Mary Kissel emphasizes that the purpose of Russia's actions is to exploit vulnerabilities and create "uncertainty, confusion, deterrence." When President Putin observes Europe from Moscow, he sees nations with "weaker defense capabilities, weaker ties to Washington, and weaker political systems." Specifically, many governments, such as those in Germany, Belgium, and France, are weak, noting that the French government recently collapsed after less than a month. Mary Kissel quotes her colleague, Tom Tugendhat, outlining Russia's aggressive actions in the UK alone, which include using chemical weapons, nuclear poisons, committing sabotage, attempting espionage, and threatening nuclear attack. Ultimately, the goal of Russia's "poking and prodding" is to gauge the reaction of these nations and see if they will implement the drone wall or respond with "just words."

What if your body already knew how to heal—and your mind was the missing key? In this episode, we explore a remarkable story of recovery that challenges everything we think we know about medicine, biology, and belief.In 1986, chiropractor Joe Dispenza was told he'd never walk again after a devastating spinal injury. Instead of surgery, he turned to meditation and visualization—repeatedly imagining his spine repairing itself. Against all odds, within weeks he was walking. His story isn't just inspiring—it's backed by neuroscience showing how thoughts can reshape the brain, hormones, and even immune function.You'll learn:How doubt can be the biggest barrier to healing—and why practice rewires the brain.The science behind neuroplasticity, stress hormones, and immune modulation in mind-body medicine.Practical ways you can use visualization, relaxation, and intention to shift your body into “healing mode.”Press play now to hear how belief, focus, and the relaxation response can unlock your body's innate intelligence to repair and renew.This podcast is for educational purposes only and does not offer medical advice.

Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut has taken a lead role in forcefully sounding the alarm about Donald Trump. He's urged Democrats to use their power creatively to constrain Trump's abuses. But in recent days, Trump's consolidation of authoritarian power has expanded. And we're in the middle of a government shutdown fight in which Democrats are drawing a hard line, but not for an end to Trump's lawbreaking. Trump has responded by escalating the lawless threats toward Blue America. In an interview with us, Murphy offers a lengthy indictment of all of Trump's lawlessness, corruption, malevolence and authoritarianism. It all adds up to a bracing, extraordinary takedown: Murphy says we're dangerously close to losing democracy, explains why other Democrats aren't acting as alarmed, and outlines what can still be done to stave off Trump's dictatorial designs before it's too late.  Looking for More from the DSR Network?

We discuss:The songs featured during the recap: “One Two Three Young Woo” by Jo Byeong Hyeon and “H” by Roh Young Sim. The first is quirky, while the second is melancholy.The political and ethical complexity of Hanbada's involvement in drafting a policy that led to mass layoffs of married women.The fierce and principled attorney Ryu Jae Sook, who champions women's and labor rights, and who offers a thought-provoking contrast to Hanbada's corporate approach.The idea of generation names in Korean clans, and how these were used to explore the relationship between Judge Ryu Myeong Ha and Attorney Ryu Jae Sook.Attorney Jung's jarring statement that attorneys are not meant to make the world a better place, but to defend their clients, no matter who they are.Woo Young Woo's internal conflict as she receives a job offer from Attorney Ryu and wrestles with what kind of attorney she wants to be.The damaging but clever tactics of Kwon Min-woo, who secretly mails a legal memo to the opposing counsel in an attempt to frame Woo Young Woo.The brutal emotional toll of litigation, as personal and irrelevant information (such as fertility treatment) is dragged into court to discredit the plaintiffs.The bittersweet conclusion to the case: the women lose in court but win in the court of public opinion and in moral conviction.The evolving relationship between Woo Young Woo and Lee Jun-ho as they try to navigate differing perceptions of what it means to be a couple.The quiet decline of Attorney Jung, whose stress and physical deterioration hint at serious underlying health issues.A linguistic and cultural deep dive into the Korean pronunciation of family names such as Choi, Park, and Yun, and the surprising differences when romanized.ReferencesGeneration name - WikipediaPro bono practices and opportunities in South KoreaGlass ceiling - Wikipedia

Vanilla is one of the most expensive of flavorings—so valuable that it was smuggled or stolen by pirates in the early days—and yet it is everywhere. It is a key ingredient in dishes ranging from crème brûlée to Japanese purin. It is the quintessential ice cream flavor in the United States. In Vanilla: The History of an Extraordinary Bean (Yale UP, 2025) Dr. Eric T. Jennings explains how the world's only edible orchid, originally endemic to Central America, became embedded in the international culinary and cultural landscape. In tracing vanilla's rise, Dr. Jennings describes how in the 1840s an enslaved boy named Edmond Albius discovered a way to pollinate vanilla orchids with a toothpick or needle—an ingenious process that is still in use. This method transformed the vanilla sector by enabling the plant to be grown outside of its natural range. Dr. Jennings also looks at how the vanilla craze led to the search for now‑pervasive substitutes, and how a vanilla lobby has fought back. He further unravels how vanilla—the world's most expensive crop and once considered its most refined fragrance—came to mean “bland.” This tale of botany, production techniques, consumption habits, and colonial rivalry connects the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans, revealing how vanilla has become a potent symbol of the modern global village. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

In this episode of 'Conversations with Amoda Maa,' Amoda and Kavi explore what she calls the “light (radiance) of being”—our essential, quality-less nature that's prior to personality, thought, emotion, and circumstance. Amoda clarifies that “light” isn't a special effect or perfected persona; it's the ever-present transparency of awareness that remains when all experiences pass. The conversation unpacks how veils of conditioning (guilt, shame, unworthiness, grievance, the acquisitive ego) obscure this radiance, and how glimpses often arise in shock, beauty, or profound presence when the mind stops referencing. Awakening is both sudden and gradual: nothing outward needs to change, yet life is revolutionized from grasping and drama to a lightness of being—an ordinary, intimate openness that meets daily life without seeking the next moment for fulfillment. They touch on the potency of the shared field in gatherings, the end of horizontal seeking, and the simple inner inquiry: “What remains when experience passes?” The episode closes with a note about Amoda's forthcoming book, Unveiling the Light of Being, and upcoming events.

This week, some beef, friendship, and strange run-ins with some humans and creatures. Magpie by Millie Jones In this story, a stroll through suburban Mudgee turns into an encounter with the swooping monarchs of the blue gums. Here’s your ultimate how-to-survive-magpies manual. Tip: If you cross paths with a magpie, skip the two-hands-above-your-head surrender - just give a friendly nod and keep walking with dignity.

Today, the bay is pristine and beloved. Watch out, King Gordon may still be lurking.

OVERCOMING 5 OBSTACLES TO EXTRAORDINARY PRAYER | + Discussion on Charlie Kirk Effect, 40 Days for Life at the Abortuary, Toledo Walk for Vocations & “Triumph of the Heart” Movie (Ep. 482)In this episode, Greg and Stephanie continue reflecting on the Charlie Kirk effect—what his life and tragic death reveal about the wounds of our culture and the urgency of living faith boldly. We share our privilege of viewing Triumph of the Heart, a powerful new film on St. Maximilian Kolbe, and recount the second annual Toledo Vocation Walk, where three priests trekked 70 miles in four days as a witness of prayer and sacrifice. We also speak from the front lines of 40 Days for Life in Toledo, standing in prayer before the abortuary, interceding for mothers, fathers, and children.From there, we open the Gospel for this Sunday and dive into the theme: Obstacles to Extraordinary Prayer. Christ prayed with a depth that was more than words—it was intimate communion with the Father. That same extraordinary prayer is available to us, but so often we are blocked by distractions, wounds, transactional thinking, fear of vulnerability, and forgetfulness of eternity. Each obstacle comes with its own whispered lie, and each can be overcome by grace, Scripture, and concrete practices.Join us as we name five common obstacles that keep us from deep prayer and uncover the steps to overcome them, so our marriages, families, and homes can be resuscitated by the living presence of God.Timely other Links:My Crisis Magazine article today: ⁠America at the Edge of Awakening: Faith, Disorder, and the Forgiveness That Could Save a Republic⁠Worship Song: ⁠Over the Storm (A Tribute to Charlie Kirk)⁠My book, our present-day plight, predicting so much of all this nearly 2 years ago: ⁠The Magnificent Piglets of Pigletsville⁠This is not a time to sit back. It is a call to rise, to live IT in our homes and families, and to bear witness to Christ in the storm.God is calling. His grace is waiting.

Speaking to the UN, President Trump railed against climate science and clean energy, drawing sharp rebukes from other nations, rival politicians and business leaders. Meanwhile, China for the first time ever announced a specific target for reducing its greenhouse gas emissions. Also, the four-lane Great Highway used to run along the Pacific Ocean on the west side of San Francisco, where it was at risk of erosion from sea level rise. Now it's been transformed into a park where visitors can bike, walk, skate, and play next to the water. And the new Vera C. Rubin observatory telescope in Chile features the largest camera ever built, at about the size of a small car, and will soon begin photographing the entire southern sky repeatedly for a full decade. Astronomers hope this new telescope will help advance our understanding of dark matter and reveal hard-to find interstellar objects. --- You can help support our free public radio show and podcast, for free, by leaving a review on Apple Podcasts.

Travis and his producer, Eric, get honest about what “hustle” actually means and how its value changes depending on season, personality, and your real goals. Drawing on their own business journeys—as well as lessons from voices like Gary Vee, Dave Ramsey, and Alex Hormozi—they dig into the difference between productive sprints, burnout, and building self-awareness around effort, outcomes, and work-life fit. On this episode we talk about: The myth and reality of hustle culture for entrepreneurs and freelancers Why some seasons demand all-out work—and others call for balance (or a pivot) Setting sprints, tracking your time, and focusing on outcomes, not just hours How to know if your work is strategic hustle or just “busyness” Personal stories of burnout, pivoting, and coming back stronger Top 3 Takeaways 1.  “Hustle” is most powerful when it's temporary and goal-driven—set clear sprints and reassess outcomes.2.  There's no one-size-fits-all: personality, life stage, and values should guide your effort and expectations.3.  Track your time and audit your focus—real growth comes from high-leverage work, not just putting in hours. Notable Quotes “Life demands different seasons—sometimes you have to hustle, sometimes you need rest, and both are okay.” “Extraordinary results require extraordinary effort—but only effort on what actually moves you forward.” “Don't just show up. Do the work that actually produces results, then reevaluate and adapt.” ✖️✖️✖️✖️

I separate fact from fiction and reveal the unlikely aspects of his story that proved to be true. Music provided by The ConradsSound Effects from Pixabay.

You probably aren't letting your dishwasher do its job the way it's designed to — and you may be wasting time (and water) in the process. In this opening segment, we reveal why your dishwasher is smarter than you think, how to make it work harder for you, and the one thing it desperately wants you to stop doing. https://www.womansday.com/home/organizing-cleaning/a51170/stop-prerinsing-dishes/ Social status isn't just for the shallow or phony — it's something we all crave in one way or another. Whether at work, in friendships, or within communities, status offers hidden advantages. Joining me to explore how status really works is Toby Stuart, professor of business administration at the Haas School of Business, UC Berkeley, who has also taught at Harvard, Columbia, and the University of Chicago. He's the author of Anointed: The Extraordinary Effects of Social Status in a Winner-Take-Most World (https://amzn.to/421hLEO), and he explains why status-seeking is deeply human — and far more influential than you may realize. You may never have heard of your vestibular system, but without it, simple tasks like walking or even standing would be nearly impossible. It's the hidden sense that keeps your balance in check, and it's just as vital as sight or hearing. To explain how it works and why it matters, I'm joined by Dr. Jeffrey Sharon, director of the Balance and Falls Center and associate professor at the University of California, San Francisco. He's also author of The Great Balancing Act: An Insider's Guide to the Human Vestibular System (https://amzn.to/4g1rdhC). More and more people are asking visitors to ditch their shoes at the door.
