But because life got loud and busy.We talked about expanding skills, strengthening community, and creating plans. We watched the world wobble, felt that familiar pressure in our gut… and still, some of the most important work got pushed off to “later or even never.” Our pantries went unrotated. Training stayed theoretical. Hard conversations never happened. And some of that motivation that we felt in the mornings… went quiet by the end of day.If you're feeling accountable… We are too… but that's good.Cuz that's a great place to start.Missed opportunities hurt. Not because we failed, but because deep down, we knew we could have done better.And that sting? That's not shame. That's your instincts reminding you to get back on track.It's the uncomfortable truth that readiness doesn't fade all at once… it erodes, quietly, one excuse at a time.But all is not lost…Awareness is where real course correction begins.Let's talk about that…TOPS Bunker WebsiteRefuge Medical Website - Use Code TOPSBUNKER10 at CheckoutPlease Visit Our Affiliate Links to Find Great Preparedness Products:Nanticoke Atlatl w/3 Six Foot DartsSling Shot - Handmade Premium Quality PowerfulSteel Shot - 3" Chrome Steel Balls Sling-Shot AmmoNedFoss Throwing Axe Tomahawks - Set of 3Gerber Gear Gater Machete with SheathPurple Dragon Japanese Bushcraft Machete w/ Wooden SheathPurple Dragon Japanese Splitting Hatchet Premium w/SheathSupport the show
Repo fails, a measure of collateral flow throughout the entire financial system, soared to more than $300 billion as of the middle of December. It was the highest for any non-quarter end week going back to June 2023. At the same time, borrowing from the Fed's repo facility is way up again as investors refuse to buy the spin from private credit that their portfolios are just fine and from central bankers who say the same thing about the economy.

The world is building data centers, identity rails, and AI policy stacks at a speed that makes 2026 feel closer than it is. In this conversation, Rajesh Natarajan, Global Chief Technology Officer at Gorilla Technology Group, explains what it takes to engineer platforms that remain reliable, secure, and sovereign-ready for decades, especially when infrastructure must operate outside the safety net of constant cloud connectivity. Raj talks about quantum-safe networking as a current risk, not a future headline. Adversaries are capturing encrypted traffic today, betting on decrypting it later, and retrofitting quantum-safe architecture into national platforms mid-lifecycle is an expensive mistake waiting to happen. He also highlights the regional nature of AI infrastructure, Southeast Asia prioritizing sovereignty, speed, and efficiency, Europe leaning on regulation and telemetry, and the U.S. betting on raw cluster scale and throughput. Sustainability at Gorilla isn't a marketing headline, it's an engineering requirement. If a system can't prove its environmental impact using telemetry like workload-level PUE, it isn't labeled sustainable internally. Gorilla applies the same rigor to IoT insight per unit of energy, device lifecycles, and edge-level intelligence placement, minimizing data centralization without operational justification. This episode offers marketers, founders, and technology leaders a rare chance to understand what national-scale resilience looks like when platform alignment breaks first, not technology. Remembering that decisions must be reversible, explicit, and measurable is the foundation of how Gorilla is designing systems that can evolve without forcing rushed compromises when uncertainty becomes reality.

Toilet rats. Yes, you read that right. Western Washington health officials are warning residents that flooding could send sewer rats swimming up into your toilet bowl—because apparently, 2025 wasn't weird enough already. This is the same public health department that brought you "booty bump kits," so you know we're in good hands. We break down their official advice: stay calm (good luck with that), close the lid, flush repeatedly, and—wait for it—squirt Dawn dish soap into the toilet to make the rat slide back down. Because nothing says "government efficiency" like telling taxpayers to lube up their toilets and hope for the best. What happened to actual infrastructure maintenance? How about fixing those cracked sewer pipes before Norway rats start doing the backstroke through our plumbing? Is your first instinct really going to be "grab the Dawn" when you lift that toilet lid? Drop a comment if you've had a rat visitor—and whether the dish soap trick actually worked. Don't forget to subscribe for more stories that make you question everything.

In dieser großen Jahresrückblick-Folge schauen Lenia und Luisa gemeinsam auf ihr Jahr zurück. In alter Tradition lassen sie besondere Momente, intensive Begegnungen, persönliche Entwicklungen und die besten und schlechtesten Ficks des Jahres Revue passieren. Lenia startet mit dem Frauenfestival, das sie zu Jahresbeginn organisiert hat, und erinnert sich an berührende Erlebnisse und starke Gemeinschaft. Luisa nennt ihren Besuch im FKK-Club als eines ihrer Highlights. Beide teilen außerdem zwei Sexerlebnisse, die sie bis heute geil machen: Verbotenem Sex auf einem Seminar und eine Undercover-Escort-Erfahrung im Männerurlaub. Lenia erzählt von Begegnungen, die sie besonders bewegt haben, darunter Dates mit einer Person im Rollstuhl, eine Jungfrau im Rentenalter, eine Person mit Kot-Fetisch, ein entspannter Dreier und ein Besuch beim Dominus inklusive. Luisa blickt auf Strippoker, neue Vorlieben und Öl als persönliche Sexentdeckung des Jahres zurück. Auch Lenias eigene Entdeckung – das Bachata-Tanzen – kommt inklusive einer passenden Geschichte nicht zu kurz. Es wird psychedelisch, absurd und sehr persönlich, als Lenia von einem Trip mit Magic Mushrooms erzählt, und zum Abschluss teilen beide ihre Fails des Jahres: von unerfüllten Vorsätzen über misslungene Dreier bis hin zu überraschenden Arztbesuchen. Wir hören uns im nächsten Jahr!
Medication nonadherence in schizophrenia is often framed as defiance — but that narrative misses the truth and harms the very people it claims to help. Guest host Rachel Star Withers (who lives with schizophrenia) unpacks why up to 70% of people with schizophrenia have trouble taking medication as prescribed — and why the reasons are far more complex than “noncompliance.” From severe side effects and cognitive symptoms to stigma, trauma, access issues, and being dismissed by providers, this conversation exposes the real barriers standing in the way of effective treatment. Rachel shares deeply personal experiences of both intentional and unintentional nonadherence, including how side effects like extreme fatigue and tardive dyskinesia shaped her decisions — and how lack of education nearly cost her years of quality of life. The episode also explores how medication refusal can be weaponized, stripping people with schizophrenia of autonomy under the guise of “lack of insight.” Later, Rachel sits down with board certified toxicologist and psychopharmacologist Dr. Alberto Augsten, who brings clarity, hope, and science to the discussion. Together, they explore long-acting injectable antipsychotics (LAIs), new treatment advances, realistic expectations, and how education — not force — improves outcomes. If you've ever wondered why medication adherence is so difficult in schizophrenia — and what actually helps — this episode delivers answers rooted in empathy, evidence, and lived experience. Our guest, Dr. Alberto Augsten, is a board certified toxicologist and psychopharmacologist. He is a consultant and expert witness specializing in psychopharmacology and clinical toxicology. Offering professional, impactful, and strategic consulting services, Dr. Augsten caters to legal, healthcare, and clinical practice development.

WATCH: 10 Best Wrestling Wins of 2025!
Read the full transcript here. Which decisions should be made by election and which by random sampling? Where is competition healthy for choosing leaders, and where must rule-setting be unitary and impartial? What would credible umpires look like - judges, statisticians, pay reviewers - and how do we insulate them from parties? Can citizen juries and standing sampled councils surface red lines, negotiate overlap, and rebuild losers' consent? Why does professional party culture normalize behavior individuals would reject, and can structured deliberation beat competitive groupthink? How do we measure success for rule-setters - accuracy, legitimacy, or a cooler temperature? When do promotions-as-power contests crowd out service, and could elections without candidates find better leaders? How much polarization is real cleavage versus performance layered over broad agreement, and how do institutions interrupt cosplay turning into violence? What minimum independence and accountability keep sampled bodies honest without drifting into technocracy? Where should problem-solving favor practical wisdom over pure truth-finding - embedding local knowledge alongside trials, models, and metrics?

He chaired the Government 2.0 Taskforce which helped set the Australian Government's policy to navigate the threats and opportunities of open data and social media.

This is the main event of Molly's Top PR Wins and Fails of 2025 series, recorded live on Substack (aired Friday, December 19) and built around the stories that truly owned the year: culture-war outrage that turned into real market impact, celebrity reputations getting torched (sometimes by their own silence), late-night becoming a political battleground, and the kind of persona erosion that turns “brand equity” into “lawsuit energy.” If you listened to Part Two (ranks 10 through 6), this episode is the payoff: sharper, bigger, and way messier in the best possible way.Want More Behind the Breakdown?

TikTok just launched gift cards to compete with Amazon, Waymo robotaxis completely failed during a San Francisco blackout, and billionaires are fighting over Warner Bros in a $108 billion bidding war. This week in tech was INSANE.In this episode, Obi and Kaitlin break down three massive stories that show where technology and business are heading in 2025.WHAT WE COVER:TIKTOK GIFT CARDS - THE AMAZON KILLER?TikTok Shop just launched digital gift cards ($10-$500) with personalized animations and video messages coming in 2026. This isn't just about gifting - it's about locking users into the TikTok ecosystem the same way Amazon Prime does. After doing $500 million in Black Friday sales alone, TikTok is making the exact same play WeChat made in China: become the everything app. We break down why this matters, how it compares to Amazon and eBay, and why TikTok is going ALL IN on e-commerce while still fighting to avoid a US ban.WAYMO ROBOTAXIS BREAK DOWN IN SAN FRANCISCOOn December 20th, San Francisco had a massive blackout affecting 130,000 people. Waymo's self-driving taxis just... stopped. Middle of intersections. Blocking traffic. Over a thousand robotaxis frozen like confused puppies. We explain what actually happened (spoiler: they couldn't phone home to human operators), why this exposes a HUGE problem with autonomous vehicles at scale, and what this means for the future of self-driving cars in cities. Plus: why Elon's response was misleading and what the Challenger disaster teaches us about edge cases.PARAMOUNT VS NETFLIX: THE $108 BILLION WARNER BROS WARDavid Ellison (son of Oracle founder Larry Ellison) wants to buy Warner Bros Discovery for $108 billion. Netflix wants it for $83 billion. Warner Bros said Paramount's offer was "illusory" and didn't trust they had the money. So Larry Ellison personally guaranteed $40.4 billion of the deal - one of the biggest personal guarantees in corporate history. We break down this billionaire soap opera, explain what's actually at stake (HBO, DC Comics, Harry Potter, CNN), compare the two offers, and discuss what this means for the future of Hollywood and streaming.THE BIG PICTURE:All three stories share a common theme - ambitious technology and business moves that are impressive but fragile. TikTok's one ban away from losing everything. Waymo's one emergency away from gridlock. Paramount's one regulatory issue away from losing $108 billion. This is what happens when innovation moves faster than the systems supporting it.This is our FIRST couples episode - Obi hosts Courtside Financial, Kaitlin co-hosts and reacts. Let us know if you want more of this format!TIMESTAMPS:0:00 - Intro: This Week Was Wild0:30 - TikTok Gift Cards: The Amazon Killer Strategy5:00 - Waymo Robotaxis Fail During SF Blackout10:30 - Paramount vs Netflix: $108B Warner Bros War18:00 - Connecting The Threads: What It All Means20:30 - Outro & Final ThoughtsMENTIONED IN THIS VIDEO:TikTok Shop e-commerce strategyWaymo autonomous vehiclesSan Francisco blackout December 2025Paramount Skydance mergerWarner Bros Discovery bidding warNetflix acquisition strategyLarry Ellison personal guaranteeDavid EllisonWeChat everything app comparisonAmazon Prime business modelHostile takeover case study#TikTok #Waymo #WarnerBros #TechNews #Business #Amazon #Netflix #Paramount #SelfDrivingCars #EcommerceDISCLAIMER: This video is for educational and entertainment purposes only.

What really drives sustainable weight loss, and why do so many popular diets fail people long term?Ethan sits down with Tony Bloom to unpack the confusion, frustration, and misinformation surrounding modern diet culture. Drawing from personal experience and years in the fitness industry, Tony explains why no single diet is magic, how social media amplifies bad nutrition advice, and why communication and individualization matter more than dogma. Ethan reflects on his own history with keto, calorie fear, and chasing the “right” answer, revealing how mindset and adherence shape real results. This episode cuts through noise and ideology to focus on what actually works for humans in the real world.Subscribe to Ethan's newsletter for more grounded conversations at https://ethansuplee.substack.com/subscribeSHOW HIGHLIGHTSMeeting Tony BloomEscaping Diet FadsEthan's Keto ExperienceWhy Diets Become DogmaIndividualization MattersThe Map Is Not RealityWhen Simple Answers FailWanting to Hear the “Right” AnswerChanging Your Mind Is HardWeight Loss vs Health DebatesLanguage and DefinitionsWhat a Calorie Really IsWhy Calories Trigger PeopleThe Mental Game of the ScalePreference vs TruthThe White Coat ProblemTrust, Credentials, and RealityAdherence Over IdeologyFinal Takeaways Hosted on Acast.

It's another "Blue Monday" as the guys recap a weekend of local football futility, with the Jets surrendering eight sacks and the Giants managing to lose to a Vikings backup—a disaster that has Gio questioning why the team is regressing Jaxson Dart by refusing to let him throw. While the "Tank Bowl" against the Raiders looms to potentially decide the #1 overall pick, the guys find a rare bright spot in Jalen Brunson's 47-point masterpiece that solidified "Knicks Culture" over the Heat. The conversation then shifts from the gridiron to the big screen as Gio shares the movie trailer that finally has him excited to return to theaters, before an emotional final segment where the show bids farewell to WFAN legend Dov Kramer, who signs off today after an incredible 38-year career at the station.

Most players and coaches think in-season development means one of two things:Either you don't train at all,Or you train the same way you do in the off-season… just shorter.We believe there's a different approach. In this episode, we break down how to actually plan in-season player development to move the needle.Instead of generic workouts, intensity guesses, or “feel-good reps,” we walk through a simple but powerful readiness framework that helps you decide what to train, how hard, and how much, based on the athlete in front of you.Want to Go Deeper?A ton of what we talked about today connects directly to the ideas inside The Modern Basketball Blueprint, my new book.If you're a coach who wants to bridge science, movement, decision-making, and practical training, this book lays out the full framework.Grab your copy here → www.byanymeanscoaches.com/blueprintIf you found this valuable:Share the episode with a coach who'd benefit from building better, more efficient in-season workoutsSubscribe so you don't miss the next deep diveScreenshot and tag us on IG so we can repost you
What happens when a daughter writes two letters a week to her mom for ten years while breaking into one of the most male-dominated industries in America? You get a time-capsule memoir packed with real deals, real setbacks, and real strategies that still work. We're joined by Dr. Mary Mitchell, who rose through the 1980s pulp, paper, and timber world negotiating 60 contracts at a time, feeding mills through strikes and shortages, and outmaneuvering intimidation with a calm, data-first style.Mary walks us through the volatile market forces that defined the decade—interest rates near 20 percent, housing crashes, export booms—and how she turned chaos into leverage with scenario planning, meticulous market intel, and relentless relationship-building with everyone from tug dispatchers to scale houses. She unpacks her “plain vanilla” negotiation approach: ignore the theatrics, return to price and inventory, anticipate failure modes, and have ten counters ready when they hit. The stories are vivid: rescuing a mill with hog fuel dug from a forgotten valley, barging sawdust into San Francisco, and earning a rival's backhanded compliment for never leaving a dime on the table.We also talk about boundaries and resilience. Mary shares how she handled inappropriate advances by steering back to business, why preparation disarms bullies, and how confidence grows when you ask the “dumb” questions first. For students of negotiation, supply chain pros, and women navigating male-heavy fields, this conversation doubles as a practical playbook and a compelling narrative.

The Defense Department failed to pass its annual audit once again. Auditors found 26 material weaknesses and “two significant deficiencies related to the DoD's internal controls over financial reporting.” The review covered the department's $4.7 trillion in assets and another $4.7 trillion in liabilities. The Pentagon has failed every audit since launching its first agency-wide review in 2018. Congress has set a goal for the DoD to achieve a clean audit by fiscal 2028.

You've spent years developing your next generation of partners, but what happens when they don't want to lead, can't secure financing, or simply aren't the right fit to take over? In this episode, our Ontario Market Leader Darryl Boyd, reveals why so many multi-partner firms are discovering that their "default" internal succession plan isn't working, and why external sales often deliver better outcomes for everyone involved.Over his decade with Poe Group Advisors, Darryl has helped the Canadian M&A landscape transform from earnout-heavy transactions to all-cash deals that prioritize fit over spreadsheets. We explore the uncomfortable truth about internal succession: technical excellence doesn't equal business leadership, and the partner who's great at client work may have zero interest or aptitude for running the firm.The conversation highlights that:Why exhausted accounting firm owners often just need better systems, not an exit strategyHow private equity is slowly earning trust in Canada, and why most CPA firm sellers still choose CPA buyersThe hidden assumptions killing Accounting M&A deals (like the "25% client loss" myth with zero data behind it)Why the best transactions happen when both parties forget about price and focus on whether the handoff will actually workWe also tackle the massive variability across firms that makes a cookie-cutter valuation worthless: profitability, owner workload, geographic markets, and cultural dynamics all impact valuation more than sellers realize. Whether you're a multi-partner firm wrestling with succession, a solo tax practitioner planning your exit, or a buyer trying to understand what sellers really care about, this episode will challenge your assumptions about how accounting practice transitions actually work.Link to full listing: https://poegroupadvisors.com/practice/sc2038/ Firm Highlights:- Young, energetic owner committed to staying 10+ years to run and grow the firm.- Selling 70–100% equity, with plans to offer key employees an ownership stake.- 3+ CPAs on staff and over 20 employees.- High-net-worth clients with strong loyalty and consistent referrals.- 78% of services tied to business clients.

What happens when AI gets powerful, but verification becomes the bottleneck? In this candid, end-of-year conversation, Clearbrief Founder & CEO Jacqueline Schafer breaks down why accuracy, sourcing, and trust - not raw model power are the real constraints on legal AI adoption today. Listeners walk away with a clear mental model for where AI actually delivers ROI in law firms and corporate legal teams, and why the "last mile" is the battleground that matters now. Hosted by David Cowen Key Topics Covered: Why AI output that can't be verified fast is worse than useless, and how verification time kills ROI The "last mile" framework: where legal workflows break down and why most tools stop too early How Clearbrief was built around mistake-catching before GenAI and why that design choice aged perfectly What customer discovery really looks like (200+ lawyer interviews, brutal feedback included) The shift toward insourcing: which litigation and investigation tasks stay in-house and which never will Why general-purpose chatbots help with drafting, but fail at delivery, defensibility, and trust A practical metaphor for AI adoption speed: the engine is fast, the road isn't, and lawyers are the drivers

This week's episode kicks off Part One of The Top PR Wins and Fails of 2025 by pulling straight from the headlines and social media feeds that dominated the year. Instead of rehashing scandals, it digs into the decisions behind them: who understood the moment they were in, who badly misread their audience, and who confused being everywhere online with being trusted. From cultural power plays to celebrity miscalculations, the pattern is clear and a little uncomfortable. You can win the attention economy and still lose credibility.

We've all heard the saying "three strikes and you're out." Donald Trump, Pam Bondi, and Lindsey Halligan have now struck out three times trying to prosecute New York State Attorney General Letitia James. The first indictment that Lindsey Halligan unlawfully obtained against James was dismissed by a federal judge. The second time involved another prosecutor who went into the grand jury and tried to convince them to indict James. The grand jury concluded there was not sufficient evidence to indict her, and refused to do so.Undeterred, DOJ tried to indict James again, and yet again the grand jury said no. This is an example of the American people - the members of the grand jury - standing up to the prosecutorial overreach, abuse, and misconduct of Trump, Bondi, and Halligan.Glenn also discusses the prosecutor from Missouri that the DOJ has now sent into the grand jury TWICE to fail.
