The author reflects upon 35 years of being a criminal attorney both for prosecution and for the defense in high-level cases. It looks at the practice of law from being a former prosecutor to the running of a successful defense practice. It is focused on the representation on behalf of the prosecution for the state and as a defense counsel representing the accused. He reflects upon the criminal justice system, and the balance of scales on both sides of the counsel table in the courtroom. Specifically, it reveals the unfair tipping of scales in favor of the prosecution and against the accused, using real examples. He discusses the significant constitutional rights associated with the process of prosecution and defense. The book is a reflection on the specific cases in his career and the changes that resonated over that 35-year period.Suppose you face criminal charges of a misdemeanor or a felony, an indictable criminal offense, or a disorderly person's offense; your world can turn upside down.Facing any criminal charge can be highly challenging for you, whether you know you have broken the law or are dealing with wrongful accusations.Your job, your family life, and your freedom may be at risk.In any circumstances in which criminal prosecution and potential loss of your rights are on the line, it is crucial to have dedicated legal counsel on your side to defend your rights and provide due process.He is the author of Unequal Justice: The Search for Truth to Balance the Scales.https://www.amazon.com/Unequal-Justice-Search-Balance-Scales/dp/B0DHWT1N8Dhttp://www.yourlotandparcel.org

The scholarly monk Analayo says it is important for us, as Buddhists, to take care of nature as we take care of our own body. We have a responsibility, he says, to cause no harm and to respond to the climate crisis with mindfulness, ethics and compassion. Saddhavasini introduces a guided Karuna Bhavana for the natural world designed to bring you close to the suffering of our natural world and to cultivate the metta and compassion needed to meet and address that suffering with skillful action.

The decision to keep or sell the marital residence could be the most significant financial choice you make during your divorce—and getting it wrong might haunt you for years.Tami Wollensak, a divorce mortgage specialist with over 25 years of experience and certified divorce coach, pulls back the curtain on what really happens with mortgages during divorce. She reveals why so many people make catastrophic financial mistakes when it comes to the family home, often because they receive guidance from well-meaning professionals who lack specialized mortgage knowledge.Throughout our conversation, Tami breaks down complex concepts into practical insights: the true definition of home equity, how support payments affect mortgage qualification, and why your current mortgage payment bears little resemblance to what you might pay after divorce. She shares her own post-divorce homeownership struggles and offers a refreshingly honest take on why renting might be the smarter option for many.Most crucially, Tami explains the specific timing requirements for using support income to qualify for mortgages—information that even many attorneys don't understand. Did you know child support payments must be court-ordered, received consistently for six months, AND have at least 36 months remaining to count toward mortgage qualification? This single detail could make or break your ability to keep your home.Whether you're a divorce professional helping clients navigate this terrain or someone personally facing these decisions, this episode provides the mortgage literacy needed to avoid costly mistakes. Discover why consulting a divorce mortgage specialist early in the process could be the difference between post-divorce financial stability and distress.Ready to make informed decisions about your biggest asset?

Kevin Tarrant, Ex-CHRO of WABCO and current President of HR Co-Pilot Consulting, brings 40 years of human capital experience to Jamie Flinchbaugh's People Solve Problems podcast. With a background spanning manufacturing, high tech, software development, and service industries across global organizations, Kevin shares insights from his extensive career, including his last corporate role as Chief Human Resources Officer for Westinghouse Airbrake Company (WABCO). Kevin emphasizes that problem solving has a significant human component beyond just tools and processes. He notes that employees must trust and respect each other while understanding the different strengths each person brings to a problem-solving team. He explains that employees need to directly impact revenue, reduce costs, or contribute to continuous improvement to remain valuable as companies constantly seek efficiency. From an HR perspective, Kevin observes a shift toward hiring for competencies rather than specific experience. He encourages job seekers to demonstrate how they've applied their competencies in different situations rather than simply listing their work history. These competencies—like building relationships, problem-solving, resilience, and adaptability—can transfer across industries. He shares a compelling example from the 2008-2009 financial crisis when WABCO lost 42% of its revenue in one year. Facing potential bankruptcy, the company implemented creative solutions when cash was scarce. They replaced cash bonuses with stock options at the then-low price and conducted "stay interviews" with critical talent to understand what would keep them engaged beyond money. The result: they retained all key employees, and many became millionaires when the stock rebounded. The foundation for this creativity, Kevin explains, came from WABCO's culture which valued diverse thinking and outside-the-box solutions. He warns that many companies claim employees are their greatest asset on their websites, but actual behaviors during tough times reveal the true culture. Kevin recommends that organizations build teams around solving problems and implement processes to understand each member's strengths before tackling challenges. He notes that jobs that don't contribute measurably are at risk. Finally, he emphasizes that successful companies focus on continuous improvement and reinvention.

No Witness, No Problem Diddy's Defense Makes Jaw-Dropping Decision to Rest Pour yourself something strong because we're diving deep into the surreal spectacle of Sean "Diddy" Combs's federal trial—a saga bursting with explicit details, bizarre requests, and a defense strategy so risky it defies logic. Facing explosive charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, obstruction, and witness tampering, the iconic rapper-turned-mogul is battling a case packed tighter than his celebrity-filled parties, complete with alleged drug-fueled antics involving baby oil, Astroglide, and vegetable soup. On June 20th, former assistant Brendan Paul took the stand with immunity, sharing lurid details of arranging narcotics and scandalous events at Combs's request, painting a picture of decadence gone horribly wrong. Things escalated even further on June 23rd as Homeland Security Special Agent Joseph Cerciello presented explicit texts, revealing Diddy's alleged demands and the jaw-dropping logistics behind sex-fueled parties. Jurors privately viewed explicit video evidence, making this trial feel less like courtroom drama and more like a surreal arthouse experience. Then came the bombshell from the defense: Lead attorney Marc Agnifilo announced they're preparing to rest their case without calling a single witness—not even Combs himself. It's either a stroke of bold genius or reckless desperation, hinging on the prosecution's burden of proof. Legal experts agree that Combs taking the stand would have risked catastrophic exposure under cross-examination. Now, with the prosecution resting and defense preparing its closing arguments, we're left questioning if fame and fortune can shield Diddy from accountability or if justice will finally pierce through his glittering empire. This isn't just a celebrity scandal—it's a stark commentary on power, privilege, and accountability in the modern world. Stay tuned for what promises to be a courtroom climax that could forever alter Diddy's carefully crafted legacy. #DiddyTrial #DefenseRests #SeanCombs #TrueCrimePodcast #CelebrityJustice #CourtroomDrama #ExplicitEvidence #PowerAndPrivilege #JusticeSystem #DarkHumor #LegalNews #CrimeCommentary #Accountability #NoWitnesses #CelebrityDownfall #TrialWatch #FameGoneWrong #TrueCrimeCommunity #PopCultureTrial #HighProfileCase Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

“If everybody always lies to you, the consequence is not that you believe the lies, but rather that nobody believes anything any longer. And the people that no longer believe anything cannot make up its mind. It is deprived not only of its capacity to act, but also of its capacity to think and to judge. And with such a people, you can then do what you please.” Those are the words, written more than 6 decades ago, of political philosopher Hannah Arendt, whose life and work is vividly explored in "Hannah Arendt: Facing Tyranny," which will premiere on PBS broadcast and digital channels on June 27 as part of the "American Masters" series. Jeff Bieber, the executive producer and co-writer/director of this timely and compelling documentary, joins host Michael Azevedo on this episode of Making Media Now. The film explores Arendt's fearless examination of power, propaganda and moral responsibility in the face of authoritarianism.

Send us a textWhat happens when a successful gym reaches a breaking point? In this revealing conversation, former CrossFit gym owner Tyler Sullivan shares his 13-year entrepreneurial journey from startup struggles through exponential growth to a successful business exit.Tyler takes us back to 2013 when his Milwaukee-based gym was thriving financially but operationally overwhelming. Facing burnout and considering closure, he instead made a pivotal decision to hire his first employee—someone who could handle everything he didn't want to do but needed to be done. This single choice transformed his business and personal life, creating space for strategic thinking and family time.The conversation explores how systematizing a fitness business creates freedom rather than constraint. With his brother's help, Tyler implemented principles from the book "Traction," developing operational structures that allowed the gym to scale. We hear candidly about the marketing challenges faced by most studio owners, with Tyler revealing how establishing solid sales processes before scaling advertising prevented wasted spending and staff frustration.Most powerfully, Tyler discusses his decision to sell the business in 2023. After rebuilding post-pandemic, he confronted the reality that his passion had diminished: "I started to not like things more than I liked things, and it's not fair to the customer or employees to continue if I'm not going to enjoy it." His successful exit to his head coach demonstrates how building strong systems creates both business value and personal freedom.Are you trapped in the daily operations of your studio? Or considering whether to expand or exit? Tyler's journey offers invaluable insights for fitness entrepreneurs at every stage.

In this episode, we speak with therapist Joy Brooks about spiritual bypassing—how well-meaning spiritual beliefs and practices can sometimes mask or avoid the difficult emotions and wounds we all carry. Drawing on psychology, contemplative traditions, and Joy's own journey out of charismatic Christianity, the conversation uncovers why confronting pain honestly is essential for genuine growth. Joy reflects on how communities and individuals alike can unintentionally use faith to silence, dismiss, or rush past suffering—and the emotional costs this often brings. She also explores how the Christian tradition holds resources for facing the “messiness” of being human, embracing vulnerability, and resisting the temptation to perform a polished, “all-good” spirituality. Following the interview, Nomad hosts Tim Nash and Nick Thorley reflect on their own experiences with spiritual bypassing and the importance of creating safe spaces where questioning and emotional honesty are welcomed rather than shunned.

Send a text to Melissa and she'll answer it on the next episode. Facing uncomfortable symptoms is rarely enjoyable, but what if your discomfort is actually signaling positive change? This eye-opening conversation explores the fascinating parallel between how we approach physical discomfort in homeopathic healing and spiritual discomfort in our personal growth.We've all experienced that moment of wanting to push away uncomfortable feelings or symptoms. Yet as we unpack in this episode, those very sensations we're eager to suppress often represent necessary healing in progress. Whether it's a fever breaking, emotions finally being processed after years of suppression, or hidden spiritual issues coming to light, discomfort frequently signals that important work is happening beneath the surface.The Western approach to medicine has trained many of us to immediately squash any symptom the moment it appears. Similarly, in our spiritual lives, we may instinctively avoid confronting uncomfortable truths about ourselves. But as we discover, this avoidance strategy ultimately backfires—what we resist doesn't disappear but merely goes underground, often returning later with even greater intensity. "I don't think we ever avoid it," we reflect during the conversation. "It just comes back later, usually worse."Most profoundly, this episode challenges the very notion that "healthy" means "symptom-free." Just as homeopathic healing focuses on strengthening the body's overall system rather than simply eliminating symptoms, spiritual growth requires working through discomfort rather than around it. We share practical examples from both realms, from handling physical illness to navigating emotional healing and relationship conflicts. Listen in as we explore why counting the reward rather than the cost helps us persevere through necessary discomfort on the path to genuine healing.Have a question about homeopathy or spiritual growth?

Ed Shill, managing partner at the Wealth Enhancement Group, says he sees the market either continuing to climb the proverbial wall of worry or getting complacent, and he fears that it's the latter after the sharp rebound from April's decline. "Right now the market is overbought," Shill says in the Market Call, where he recommends "putting airbags on," using stops to lock in profits and being prepared to step back from markets until conditions improve. In The Big Interview, Sam Millette, senior investment strategist at Commonwealth Financial Network, says that the Federal Reserve faces a challenge getting the market to understand its motivation for any rate cuts it makes later this year. He expects a rate cut later this year, likely in September, but he says the reaction of the market — whether it gives the classic bullish response or if it reacts as it did in 2024 when cuts had less impact than expected, particularly on bond markets — will depend on what the market thinks is the Fed's motivation for a cut. Plus, Anthony Holds of Holds Wealth Advisors discusses the latest results from Northwestern Mutual's 2025 Planning & Progress Study, in which nearly 70% of Americans reported that financial uncertainty has made them feel depressed and anxious.

Read OnlineJesus said to his disciples: “Stop judging, that you may not be judged. For as you judge, so will you be judged, and the measure with which you measure will be measured out to you. Why do you notice the splinter in your brother's eye, but do not perceive the wooden beam in your own eye?” Matthew 7:1–3Sadly, this tendency is far more common than most of us would like to admit. We live in a world in which it is very common to condemn, criticize and judge. This growing secular tendency, in turn, powerfully influences our thinking and actions. Why is it so easy to judge others?Why is it so easy to see the failures of others, dwell on their sin, point out their weaknesses and speak of their faults to others? Perhaps part of the reason is that many people are not at peace within their own souls. In an unfortunate way, condemning another brings with it a certain twisted satisfaction. But it's a “satisfaction” that will never satisfy. The desire to condemn, criticize and judge will only grow all the stronger the more these actions are committed. If you struggle with these sins, then listen to the words of Jesus. “Stop judging…”Oftentimes the person who judges others does not even realize they are judging. This is why our Lord poses the question, “Why do you notice the splinter in your brother's eye, but do not perceive the wooden beam in your own eye?” If that stings even a little bit, then know that our Lord asks that question of you. And He asks it with deep love for you, desiring that you will hear Him, understand, and respond. The truth is that being judgmental of others causes far more harm to the one who judges than to the one who is judged. Certainly being judged is not pleasant. But the act of being judged by others is not a sin. However, the act of judging others is a sin. And it can be a grave sin. This sin leaves the one who judges with an empty and angry heart. Love is lost in the soul who judges.If these words seem unpleasant, that's because they are. But sometimes we need to face the unpleasant truth in order to change. The Cross was unpleasant, but it was also the greatest act of love ever known. Facing our sin of judgmentalness is unpleasant, but doing so is the only way to be free. Honesty with ourselves is an act of love given to God, to ourselves and to those whom we need to stop judging.Reflect, today, upon these challenging words from Jesus. Read the Scripture passage above a few times and then prayerfully ponder it. Use it as an examination of your own conscience. Try to be honest, humble and attentive to any ways that Jesus speaks this to you. Some will find that they have grave tendencies toward judgmentalness. Others will see less serious ways. But everyone who lacks complete perfection will find some ways in which they need to be more compassionate, merciful, forgiving and understanding of others. Be open to these truths and allow our Lord to lift the heavy burden of this sin from your own life.My merciful Lord, You and You alone are the true Judge. Only You judge with mercy and justice. Give me the grace I need to abandon my own self-righteous judgmentalness so that I will be free to love You and to love others with my whole heart. Free me from the burden of these sins, dear Lord, so that I can more easily see Your goodness in others and rejoice in Your presence in their lives. Jesus, I trust in You.
