Bryan Kohberger wasn't invisible. He wasn't quiet. According to a new lawsuit filed by the families of his four victims, Washington State University received at least 13 formal complaints about his threatening, stalking, and predatory behavior in a single semester—and allegedly failed to act in any meaningful way. Today on True Crime Today, former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke breaks down what these warning signs mean from a professional threat assessment perspective. Robin served 21 years with the Bureau, including as Chief of the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, and he specializes in understanding the behavioral patterns that precede violence. The lawsuit describes WSU faculty and staff creating informal warning systems because they felt the institution wouldn't protect them. A professor allegedly predicted Kohberger would sexually abuse students if given a PhD. Women reportedly needed security escorts to their cars. Students fled classrooms. And according to the families' complaint, WSU chose not to remove Kohberger—allegedly because doing so might expose the university to a lawsuit. Robin explains why institutions make that calculation, what 13 complaints in one semester should trigger operationally, and how threat assessment programs are supposed to function when warning signs stack up this high. The families are calling these murders "foreseeable and preventable." Robin weighs in on whether they're right—and what needs to change so this doesn't happen again.#TrueCrimeToday #BryanKohberger #WSULawsuit #KayleeGoncalves #MadisonMogen #XanaKernodle #EthanChapin #RobinDreeke #ThreatAssessment #UniversitySafetyJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Most fitness businesses don't fail because of effort.They fail because the system was never designed to scale.If you're still:• “Trying harder”• Tweaking ads without structure• Relying on motivation instead of infrastructure…this video will expose exactly why that approach breaks.Inside this breakdown, we dismantle the biggest lie in the fitness industry:

Martin Freeman is one of the most sought-after actors of his generation. Whether it's Tim in The Office, John - the mild-mannered porn actor in Love Actually, Watson in Sherlock, Bilbo in The Hobbit, the stressed parent in Breeders, the Liverpudlian cop with personal problems in The Responder and Everett K. Ross in Marvel Cinematic Universe smash hits Captain America and Black Panther - Freeman is a star, and to date has won two Emmys and a BAFTA. In this episode, Martin reflects on his childhood as the youngest of five (comparatively modest when you consider his mother was one of fourteen!) as well as the lasting impact of losing his father at ten years old. We talk about parenting, the people who've inspired him (hello, Michael Caine), the future of AI from a technophobe's perspective, his unease with fame and the quieter failures that sit behind public success. Plus: strap yourself in for much hilarity. I don't think I can remember a guest who made me laugh QUITE this much. Martin can next be seen as the determined Superintendent Battle in Netflix's new Agatha Christie adaptation, Seven Dials. ✨ IN THIS EPISODE: 00:00 Introduction 02:22 Dealing with Fame and Anxiety 05:12 The Everyman Label 07:35 Exploring Anger and Authenticity 16:28 Academic Struggles and Early Acting 20:33 Personal Reflections and Family 28:08 Comparing to Heroes 32:15 The Office and Sherlock 40:29 Technology Struggles 44:20 AI Concerns 47:47 Meeting Michael Caine

Where Science, Shadow Work, and Spirit Collide to Manifest Your Miracles.You didn't fail. Your nervous system did.You didn't manifest the house, the partner, the money, the peace — not because you didn't believe hard enough. Not because you weren't disciplined or “aligned” or didn't script your affirmations just right. It's because your nervous system wasn't safe enough to receive it.This is why manifestation fails in 2026. And I'm done watching powerful women blame themselves when the truth is: mindset isn't enough anymore. We're in a whole new energetic frequency now. Survival mode blocks creation mode. And if you don't know how to regulate your nervous system, your manifestations are going to keep slipping through your fingers.Episode Takeaways:Why mindset and belief alone do not create manifestationHow an unregulated nervous system blocks receivingWhy manifestation fails faster in 2026Survival mode vs. creation modeRegulation as the foundation of real manifestationIf this hits, it's because it's true. I'm not here to coddle you — I'm here to crack you open and regulate you back into your power. You don't manifest what you want. You manifest what your body can hold. So we start with safety.

California's mental health conservatorship system has a 57% failure rate. More than half of the people released from conservatorships deteriorate afterward. The state's response? Follow-up care is voluntary.Nick Reiner was under a court-ordered LPS conservatorship in 2020. A judge found him gravely disabled. A licensed fiduciary named Steven Baer was appointed to oversee his treatment. He could be forced to take psychiatric medication. He could be placed in a locked facility against his will. The system intervened.Then the conservatorship expired in 2021. It wasn't renewed. And for four years, no one with legal authority was watching.On True Crime Today, we expose the seven structural failures built into California's conservatorship law. The "grave disability" threshold that disqualifies people whose families provide support. The appellate court ruling that "probabilistic pessimism"—concern about future danger—isn't grounds for intervention. The automatic one-year termination with no transition plan. The 2020 state audit showing only 9% of discharged patients get connected to ongoing care. The fact that families cannot petition for conservatorships or force renewals.Sources say Nick's medication was changed approximately one month before December 14th. Sources say he became agitated, erratic, suffered a "complete break from reality." Without a conservatorship in place, there was nothing anyone could legally do.The Reiners had money, connections, and access to the best treatment available. They got the conservatorship. They got the professional oversight. And if prosecutors are right about what happened, the system still failed to protect them.Nick Reiner is presumed innocent until proven guilty.#TrueCrimeToday #NickReiner #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #ConservatorshipExposed #MentalHealthLaw #CaliforniaFailed #TrueCrimeNews #LPSAct #BrokenSystemJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Panic attacks are wide-spread in today's society, and yet remain something we rarely talk about openly. So it's vital that we normalise an experience so many of us share - because talking about it is often the first step towards understanding, accepting and working through it. Jamie Laing and Fearne Cotton both came on How to Fail back in 2019 and spoke so honestly about their own experiences. Jamie reflected on the early days of Made in Chelsea, when he experienced panic attacks for a full year. Fearne shares how she still experiences panic attacks today and the stigma that can surround them. Hopefully this conversation feels reassuring, validating and helps to normalise a topic that has remained unnecessarily taboo for far too long.

Most church men's ministry doesn't fail because men don't care—it fails because it's built in a way men don't connect. If your men's group feels like a mini-sermon, a weekly therapy circle, or a “men's breakfast once a quarter,” you're not alone. In this episode, Don Ross (founder of Manhood Tribes) breaks down why men “vote with their feet,” why most churches struggle to engage men, and what an action-based men's group can look like that actually produces growth. You'll hear a simple, practical framework for building real brotherhood, strengthening biblical masculinity, and creating a men's tribe that challenges men to lead at home, in their faith, and in their everyday life. We talk about the crisis of masculinity, why the church often defines manhood too narrowly, and how to build a men's ministry that's rooted in purpose, activity, accountability, and freedom in Christ. If you're a pastor, men's ministry leader, or a man who's tired of shallow groups, this is a step-by-step blueprint to build a men's group that sticks. Why most men's groups don't work (and what men actually want) The 3 pillars of a strong men's tribe: Manhood, Camaraderie, Freedom The 5 Marks of Manhood: strength, courage, skill, honor, allegiance How to run monthly manhood challenges that create real results The leadership shift pastors need: empower men instead of controlling it Why in-person brotherhood beats digital (and when virtual can still work) How to start a tribe in your community in about 12 weeks 00:00 Intro00:45 Meet Don Ross + Manhood Tribes02:44 The real problem with men's ministry today05:00 Why men's groups are built wrong (and men don't show up)07:00 “Men vote with their feet” (what that means)11:26 The “pastors don't trust men” issue14:19 The Tribe model: 3 pillars14:54 The 5 Marks of Manhood15:35 Monthly manhood challenges (examples)18:09 Build Your Own Tribe (12-week framework)19:30 In-person vs virtual tribes21:01 Don's book: How to Be a Man25:37 Final takeaway + free quiz #MensMinistry #ChristianMen #BiblicalManhood #Masculinity #ChurchLeadership Learn more about your ad choices.

Unnatural Disasters: Why Most Responses to Risk and Climate Change Fail But Some Succeed (Columbia UP, 2021) offers a new perspective on our most pressing environmental and social challenges, revealing the gaps between abstract concepts like sustainability, resilience, and innovation and the real-world experiences of people living at risk. Gonzalo Lizarralde explains how the causes of disasters are not natural but all too human: inequality, segregation, marginalization, colonialism, neoliberalism, racism, and unrestrained capitalism. He tells the stories of Latin American migrants, Haitian earthquake survivors, Canadian climate activists, African slum dwellers, and other people resisting social and environmental injustices around the world. Lizarralde shows that most reconstruction and risk-reduction efforts exacerbate social inequalities. Some responses do produce meaningful changes, but they are rarely the ones powerful leaders have in mind. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, Warren Ingram and Pieter de Villiers explore goal setting at the start of the new year, unpacking why New Year's resolutions so often fail and how social pressure can drive unrealistic expectations. They argue for focusing on fewer, well-defined goals that are specific, measurable, and achievable, rather than trying to change everything at once. The hosts introduce the SMART goal-setting framework and emphasize self-awareness, understanding the deeper “why” behind goals, and making small, incremental changes that compound over time, before previewing a follow-up episode focused on applying these principles to financial goals.TakeawaysSet one specific goal instead of multiple resolutions.Understand the deeper motivation behind your goals.Create systems to support your goal achievement.Incremental changes lead to significant improvements over time.Use the SMART framework for effective goal setting.Learn more about how Curate Investments can help you here.Send us a textHave a question for Warren?

Trump's presidency will fail unless he stops Antifa attacks on ICE, completes the deportation mission, and confronts judicial supremacy. I explain why time is running out. Trump is facing the defining test of his presidency. As Antifa violence directly targets ICE and federal agents, deportations grind to a halt — not just because of the streets, but because of the courts. I explain why half measures are the worst possible option. The administration has absorbed all the political costs of immigration enforcement, while achieving none of the results. From Antifa's coordinated tactics to judges blocking executive authority, this isn't just about immigration — it's about whether elections still matter in America. Judicial supremacy is now overriding border enforcement, national security, and even the power of the presidency itself. If this continues, Trump's term will end with all the liabilities and none of the benefits — and red-state America won't be spared, either. Plus, I touch on why Trump's health care plan also suffers from all the political liabilities with none of the policy benefits.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

A Note from James:You know, I've known Scott Adams for probably 12 or 13 years. He was one of the first guests on this podcast, and he's the creator of Dilbert, which was my favorite cartoon strip for decades. But then, starting around 2013, he started writing about his life, his opinions, his approach to life, and what made him a success. The first book he did in this genre was How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big. He also wrote another book that was very influential, called Win Bigly: Persuasion in a World Where Facts Don't Matter. Both of these books are must-reads. Win Bigly is the best book ever about real-world persuasion. And Scott Adams himself was kind of an—I don't want to say he's an amateur hypnotist, but really more like a professional—in terms of how he used hypnotism techniques for persuasion. And How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big...when this comes from the very first podcast I had with him—how his story of how Dilbert became a hundred-million-dollar success… he was failing constantly. And the story of the success of Dilbert, which he tells in this episode we're going to show you now, is just amazing. Scott Adams has more recently become known for his political musings. He had a daily podcast, Coffee with Scott Adams, which I regularly listen to. I would say over the past decade—or 13 years, 12 years—he has not only become a great friend, and even somewhat of a mentor to me, but we've talked a lot, on and off the podcast—his podcast, my podcast—and he really helped me out through some times when I was a little upset about different things. He really knew how to reframe problems so that they would become successes. And when I first heard he was sick—this was last June—I was devastated. And of course, he prepared us all that he was going to pass away, which he did a few days ago. It was really upsetting. And, you know, I hate when people kind of take advantage of someone's death by saying, “Oh, I knew him great. He was my best…” blah, blah, blah. I just want to tell you: listen, put aside all your opinions. He was a great artist. He was a great storyteller. He had opinions you may or may not agree with, but he really knew a lot about the DNA of success and the real mechanics of persuasion—no BS, no academic stuff—just really how to do it. I would really encourage you: you could better your life if you read his books. I love this guy. I'm really sad he passed away. I've learned so much from him, and I want to share a little bit of that in this episode. Maybe we'll even do another one at some point. But, you know, rest in peace, Scott Adams. And please, if you haven't learned from him in the past—or even if you have—we had a great time whenever we talked. And here's a piece of that.Episode Description:Scott Adams (creator of Dilbert) explains why he thinks goals can actually make you worse off—and why systems, energy, and probability are the real tools for building a career that lasts.He tells the story of how he broke into syndicated cartooning after repeated rejection, and how a small nudge from a stranger kept him from quitting too early.James and Scott talk about writing with “danger,” why people can't reliably judge good ideas, and how persistence becomes easier once you stop expecting a perfect plan.They also get into the emotional side of “making it”—including why success can feel disorienting when you hit a milestone you thought would solve everything.

Chris, whose firm has completed tens of thousands of cost seg reports, reveals that 80% of studies contain fatal flaws that will not survive scrutiny. The conversation covers the importance of establishing proper real estate professional status or short-term rental qualification before taking accelerated depreciation. Chris explains why land value allocation is the first thing the IRS examines and how it must use county valuation at time of purchase—not rule-of-thumb percentages. They discuss the non-negotiable requirement for physical site visits with video documentation, the necessity of using current RSMeans software with local jurisdiction pricing (not outdated books or averages), and why having accessible audit support is crucial when the IRS comes calling. Chris emphasizes that the burden of proof is on the taxpayer, making professional documentation and expert backup essential. Tune in to learn how to protect your cost segregation deductions and avoid costly audit failures!

Most Ironman training plans fail for a simple reason: they assume perfect conditions.In this episode, Conrad sits down with Dallin to unpack why rigid Ironman plans break down in the real world—and what successful athletes do differently. They discuss the common trap of treating training plans like contracts instead of frameworks, how life stress quietly derails even the most disciplined athletes, and why consistency over time matters more than executing a handful of “perfect” weeks.The conversation walks through core Ironman training principles, including sustainable volume, fatigue awareness, purposeful long sessions, and the importance of decision-making over blind compliance. Dallin also explains why he developed the Ironman Universal Plan, who it's designed to serve, and why flexibility and athlete autonomy are essential for long-term success.

In this explosive episode of The Alan Sanders Show (Ep. 010), we break down the escalating crisis in Minnesota as President Trump threatens to invoke the Insurrection Act to quell violent anti-ICE protests and assaults on federal agents amid Operation Metro Surge. We expose AG Keith Ellison's lawsuit claiming the federal enforcement violates the 10th Amendment, labeling it a blatant overreach and "federal invasion", a questionable constitutional argument critics call a desperate fail. Plus, the White House delivers sharp trolling against Gov. Tim Walz, mocking his resistance and pleas for calm while framing the unrest as an attack on law enforcement. Is this the tipping point for federal intervention? Tune in for unfiltered analysis on the battle between state defiance and federal authority.

An online match leads to a movie date in San Jose—snacks, nonstop laughter, and instant chemistry. Everything felt right… until Kira ghosted Brandon. We break down the date and ask the question everyone's thinking: what happened?

During a recorded speech Gov. Tim Walz had a technical issue and was echoing making it unlistenable, all while he called to lower the temperature, only to then to accuse someone else of fanning the flames.  Visit the Howie Carr Radio Network website to access columns, podcasts, and other exclusive content.

When sales feel random, inconsistent, or out of your control, it's not because you need a new strategy. It's because you need new standards. In this episode, I'm showing you how to stop using revenue goals as a measuring stick for your worth and start using weekly standards as your CEO leadership system, so consistent sales become something you create on purpose.Whether you sell physical products on Shopify, Etsy, Amazon, at in-person markets, through wholesale to retailers, or on your own ecommerce website, I'm breaking down the 3 standards that drive predictable sales: promotion, follow-up, and offers. I'll share the mindset and action shift that helped me grow from a $90K side hustle to a million-dollar business, and I'll tell you how to join my free Best Seller Secrets Challenge (linked in the show notes) so you can get clear on what to sell, how to promote it, and map out a simple 30-day promotional plan to help you sell more products.In This Episode, You'll Learn:00:00 Why revenue goals without weekly action steps are just wishes.05:00 How I went from a $90K side hustle to a million-dollar product business.08:00 What consistent sales actually require (and why goals don't create consistency).15:15 What a promotion standard is (email marketing, product launches, and weekly offers).19:45 Follow-up systems that uncover “hidden money” (abandoned carts, welcome sequences, post-purchase).24:00 How to market ONE product for 14 days (focus, bestsellers, and a clear offer).28:30 Standards for in-person market sellers (email list growth + 24-hour follow-up).30:00 How standards helped build a $10M women-owned business.33:00 How your business mirrors your patterns (fear of being seen, inconsistency, perfectionism).36:15 Details for the Best Seller Secrets Challenge (free training + promotional calendar).Resources + LinksJoin the 5-day challenge to identify your best sellers and create a 30-day promo plan HEREReady to stop guessing and follow a proven system?

Thinking about going contractor? Kate and Kim share how they each left corporate and made the leap—two very different stories (burnout vs acting early) with the same core truth: contracting is built on relationships, reputation, and value… not job boards and commodity rates.

Returning to our conversation, “Mastering the Hidden Margin", a special series on Build Better Work, our panel dives into the heartbeat of SPA success: negotiation. Moving beyond history and systems, this episode focuses on how distributors should ask for SPAs—credibly, proactively, and with data that builds trust instead of friction. Joining us again is Tony Pericle, Scott Sinning and Kara DeGraff, in a conversation that outlines why SPAs are not about discounts, but about positioning distributors as true partners to manufacturers.The group breaks down what separates a strong SPA request from a weak one: clarity on customer and product, realistic volume commitments, competitive context, and a plan that can be tracked and validated over time. They explore who should own SPA negotiations at different levels of the organization, how sales teams should be coached, and why accountability and follow-through matter as much as the initial cost ask.Time Stamps:0:00 - Intro2:36 - Good vs Bad SPA Request4:19 - Relationships and Information6:06 - Information Distribution for SPA Success12:58 - What to Ask for & What to Ask for14:53 - How to Position Yourself to Ask for a SPA16:54 - What Does a “Legit” SPA Deal Look Like?20:22 - Get the Most in SPA Negotiation23:48 - ClosingGuests:Tony | tony@profitoptics.com: Tony Pericle is the founder of ProfitOptics and one of the most innovative minds in the distribution industry.

Sadie and her mom, Korie, are kicking off the first episode of the year together with a real conversation about goals, fresh starts, and what they're actually bringing into this next season—and what they're leaving behind. Korie shares why goals still matter (yes, even if you don't hit all of them) and why writing them down can be a game-changer. She opens up about how she reflects on past goals, resets when needed, and looks ahead without pressure to have it all figured out. They also talk honestly about failure — why the Robertson family isn't afraid of it, and why it's okay to pivot, pause, or even let go of dreams that no longer fit. Sadie shares her new life verse and word of the year, and together they unpack a question so many of us are asking: how do you know when it's time to walk away… or when you're meant to stay and stick it out? Plus, Sadie invites listeners to join her as she reads through the Bible this year—starting right now. This Episode of WHOA That's Good is Sponsored By: Learn more about your ad choices.

You'll know Marisa Abela from HBO's critically acclaimed hit Industry, where her portrayal of Yasmin - a brilliant, volatile young woman with ambition to burn, earned her a BAFTA. She also starred as Amy Winehouse in Sam Taylor-Johnson's Back to Black and now returns for the hotly anticipated fourth season of Industry. In this conversation, Marisa spills the beans on her first audition for Industry, why her acting is inspired by The Real Housewives (yes, really) and what we can expect from the new season. We also reflect on her troubled teenage years - and how she was ‘a terror' to live with, as well as her shock diagnosis with thyroid cancer at the age of 23. Through the subsequent intensive surgery and recovery process, Marisa learned the importance of women advocating for themselves and their own bodies in a culture where women's health is often overlooked and under-researched. Still just 29, Marisa is remarkably self-aware and wise beyond her years. As an Industry superfan myself, I adored chatting to her and I hope you love the episode too.

It's January, which means you're probably thinking about your diet. Maybe you've calculated your macros, set your eating window, or created a list of food rules to follow. But here's what happens every year: Work gets busy. Kids' sports ramp up. Life gets messy. And suddenly that "perfect" plan feels impossible to maintain.   The truth is, you don't need a better nutrition plan. You just need one that works on your best days and your worst days.   Join me this week as I break down why so many January diet attempts fail by February and offer a completely different approach to changing how you eat. You'll discover the three nutrition basics that create real stability, and how, once you nail these basics, consistency stops feeling like something you have to fight for every single day.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://carriehollandmd.com/186   Follow me on Facebook and Instagram: https://www.facebook.com/carriehollandmd https://www.instagram.com/carriehollandmd/

Seth Bradley breaks down what it actually takes to build a professional, scalable private investment fund, drawing on more than a decade of experience structuring hundreds of funds across real estate and private markets. He explains why so many funds stall or fail by treating fund formation as a paperwork exercise instead of a full business system. Seth walks through the complete anatomy of a fund—from strategy and entity structure to compliance, capital flow, administration, and investor experience—highlighting where sponsors unknowingly create risk. The episode reinforces that capital raising is a long-term operating discipline, not a one-off transaction, and that credibility comes from structure, standards, and integrated infrastructure.

***JOIN THE NEXT MASTER YOUR FASTING CHALLENGE THAT STARTS January 14th, 2026!*** We'll GUIDE you on how to FAST to LOSE FAT for good, and use ‘fast cycling' to achieve uncommon results! ⁠⁠REGISTER HERE!⁠⁠ Click the link for DATES, DETAILS, and FAQs! In this transformative January episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling introduce the powerful "Fasting Island vs. Fasting Village" framework that explains why most New Year's resolutions collapse by February—not from lack of willpower, but from environmental resistance that pulls you back to old patterns. They reveal how trying to change behaviors in the same environment that created the problem sets you up for the endless restart cycle, where motivation is high but follow-through remains fragile without structural support. The hosts introduce the concept of "minimum effective commitment levels"—setting fasting defaults like closing your eating window by 7pm or hitting 16-hour fasts five days a week—that become identity-anchoring habits you can maintain even on your worst days. They demonstrate how habit stacking (fasting plus one supporting behavior like post-meal walks) prevents the all-or-nothing January burnout that derails ambitious goal lists, and explain why borrowing belief from a community proves more sustainable than relying on finite willpower reserves. This episode delivers the blueprint for escaping isolation on Fasting Island by joining the Fasting Village where accountability, pre-decided schedules, and shared proof that fasting works create the environmental guardrails that make consistency easier than quitting.
