On Jesse's 13th AMA episode, he steps back from tactics and returns to first principles, answering listener questions that cut to the core of what financial planning actually is—and what it is not. He begins by dismantling the common assumption that a portfolio and a financial plan are interchangeable, explaining why investing is only one component of a much broader process that aligns cash flow, risk, taxes, goals, and life transitions across decades. From there, Jesse walks listeners through his end-to-end financial planning framework, starting with values and goal clarification, moving through balance sheets, cash flow, taxes, insurance, and estate planning, and ending with implementation and ongoing iteration as life evolves. Using the example of young adults in their 20s, he highlights where early financial energy is best spent: awareness of spending, intentional goal-setting, early investing for learning and compounding, and developing human capital through career growth. The episode closes with a thoughtful response to a fellow planner's question about client inertia, blending behavioral finance and lived experience to explain why busy, successful people often delay planning—and how patience, education, structure, and progress over perfection can create momentum without coercion. Throughout, Jesse reinforces a central theme: real financial planning is not about perfect portfolios, but about creating clarity, flexibility, and forward motion in an uncertain and deeply human life. Key Takeaways: • A portfolio and a financial plan are not the same thing. Investing is only one component of comprehensive financial planning. • Your financial plan must align money with goals, values, and life realities. • Financial plans must evolve as careers, families, and health change. • Career growth can compound more powerfully than portfolio tweaks. • Client inertia is usually about time, emotion, or uncertainty—not laziness. • The ultimate goal of planning is clarity, flexibility, and peace of mind. Progress does not have to be linear or immediate to be meaningful.

A Life of Service, A Line-of-Duty Death On April 12, 2024, Officer Ross Bartlett was conducting a traffic stop on southbound Highway 77, just south of Ceresco, Nebraska. He was seated in his patrol car when a pickup truck struck his vehicle from behind, forcing it into the car he had stopped. Bystanders immediately rushed in, attempting life-saving measures.

In this episode, Jenna is joined by her nine-year-old daughter, Rosie, for a sweet and surprisingly insightful conversation about what comfort looks like in their family. Together, they talk about the different “flavors of comfort” each family member needs when big emotions show up—whether that's physical touch, someone staying close, space to process alone, or quiet presence. Rosie shares how she prefers space before reconnecting, while Jenna reflects on how having someone in the room can actually make it harder for her to notice what she's feeling.The conversation is tender, honest, and full of Rosie's natural charm. Toward the end, Jenna also shares a recent meaningful moment they experienced together with the Lord—offering a gentle invitation for parents to cultivate similar moments of connection, emotional safety, and spiritual openness with their own kids. This episode is both practical and heart-level, and a reminder that learning how we give and receive comfort can deepen our relationships in powerful ways.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! PART TWORaised in a household grounded in logic and practicality, Chris Sutton grew up believing spirits and ghosts were nothing more than imagination. The paranormal simply didn't fit into his understanding of the world. That certainty held firm—until life itself began to unravel.As an adult, Chris found himself buried beneath career pressure, emotional exhaustion, and a constant atmosphere of negativity. Depression took hold, forcing him to confront questions he had long avoided. Therapy became the first step toward healing, but it wasn't the last. Along the way, Chris was drawn to shamanic traditions—practices focused on balance, connection, and understanding unseen influences that shape human experience.What began as personal healing soon took an unexpected turn. Chris found himself being asked to assist in paranormal investigations, not as a skeptic, but as someone capable of sensing, interpreting, and resolving spiritual unrest. Families tormented by unexplained activity turned to him for help, and Chris stepped into a role he never imagined for himself.#TheGraveTalks #ParanormalJourney #ShamanicHealing #SpiritualAwakening #EnergyWork #TrueParanormal #HauntedHomes #HealingBeyondTherapy #RealStories #ParanormalPodcast Love real ghost stories?

The Questions No One Can Answer After Dad Dies A man spends his life building a sophisticated estate plan—brilliant strategies, impeccable legal work, a network of trusted advisors, and layers upon layers of entities. His son is a lawyer. He even gets 18 months to prepare before his father passes. https://www.youtube.com/live/hCA_R52ZyrQ And yet, within days of his death, people start asking questions he can't answer. That story belongs to Josh Kanter, founder of Leaf Planner—and it's exactly why Bruce and I wanted to bring him to The Money Advantage Podcast. Because if a prepared, trained, deeply involved son can still feel “in the dark,” what does that mean for the rest of the family? That's where preserving generational wealth gets real. The Questions No One Can Answer After Dad DiesWhy Preserving Generational Wealth Requires More Than PaperworkPreserving generational wealth starts with the real erosion riskPreserving generational wealth means planning is dynamic, not a “final destination”Family governance and family wealth communication are the foundationHow to prevent generational wealth erosion with a “transparency continuum”How to talk to your kids about family wealth without creating entitlementWhat is a family office and do I need oneLeaf Planner: a family office portal built for real life, not just deathHow to organize estate planning documents for heirs without losing the storyPreserving generational wealth requires planning for advisor transitions tooA practical checklist for wealth transfer communicationPreserving generational wealth begins hereThe Real Way to Preserve Generational WealthListen to the Full Episode With Josh Kanter (Leaf Planner)Book A Strategy CallFAQ How do you prevent generational wealth erosion?When should you tell your kids your net worth?What is a family office and do I need one?How do you organize estate planning documents for heirs?How do you talk to your kids about family wealth?What is Leaf Planner? Why Preserving Generational Wealth Requires More Than Paperwork In this blog (and podcast), we're talking about preserving generational wealth in a way most families never hear about. Not just the legal structures. Not just the investments. Not just the “where are the documents?” We're talking about the part that causes the most damage when it's missing: communication, context, and continuity. You'll walk away with: A practical view of why family wealth communication matters as much as financial strategy A healthier way to think about transparency with kids (hint: it's not “tell them everything” or “tell them nothing”) A simple framework for preventing generational wealth erosion A clear explanation of what Leaf Planner is and why it's different from a spreadsheet or document vault And yes—if preserving generational wealth is your goal, you'll see why the “why” behind your plan may be the most valuable asset you pass down. Preserving generational wealth starts with the real erosion risk Bruce said something on the show that cuts straight to the heart of the issue: If you're going to have generational wealth, you have to make sure there's no erosion to that wealth. Most people assume erosion is mainly taxes, market losses, or poor returns. Those matter. But what surprises families is how often the real erosion comes from people—especially family members—who don't have shared understanding, shared language, and shared purpose. You can have the best legal instruments in the world and still lose your family unity. Josh's experience in the family office world (and inside his own multi-branch family) reinforced this: documents alone don't preserve families. And if the family fractures, the wealth typically follows. That's why preserving generational wealth is never only financial—it's relational. Preserving generational wealth means planning is dynamic, not a “final destination” Bruce also brought up another critical point: families often treat planning like you “arrive.” But wealth planning isn't a one-and-done event. It's a living system. Your assets change.Your family changes.Your kids grow up.Advisors retire.Health shifts.Life happens. Preserving generational wealth requires ongoing communication—especially before crisis hits—so your family has the muscle memory to navigate pressure without panic. Josh shared a line that stuck with me: don't make decisions at dusk—when you think you can see, but you can't. That's what crisis does. It blurs judgment. So the goal is to practice communication in times of calm—so your family can function in times of stress. Family governance and family wealth communication are the foundation When Bruce asked Josh to boil it down—what's the one thing families must cover to avoid erosion—Josh answered with something many people don't expect: Communication. And not just “let's have a meeting.” He was talking about family wealth communication that includes: Values Shared purpose Decision-making norms Conflict navigation Role clarity (who is speaking as parent vs co-owner vs trustee vs sibling) He told a story from Jay Hughes about “switching hats.” In one moment, you might be the boss. In another, you're dad. Families get in trouble when they don't know which role is driving the conversation. That's family governance in practice—how a family makes decisions together, especially when money and relationships overlap. If you want to preserve wealth across generations, you can't ignore how your family communicates. Because the biggest “risk” isn't the market. It's misunderstanding that turns into resentment. It's silence that turns into assumptions. It's a lack of clarity that turns into conflict. How to prevent generational wealth erosion with a “transparency continuum” One of the most helpful concepts Josh shared was what he called a transparency continuum. Most parents ask, “When should we tell the kids what the balance sheet is?” As if transparency is a binary choice: Show everything Show nothing Josh pushed back: transparency isn't binary. It's a continuum. Here's what that means in real life: You can teach values before numbers.You can teach decision-making before net worth.You can teach stewardship before statements. And when families do that, the “numbers conversation” becomes far less emotionally charged—because the kids already understand the principles. I loved this because it connects so closely with what we teach: you don't start with a trust. You start with meaning. If your kids don't know why your family does what it does, a pile of assets will never feel like a blessing. It will feel like confusion—or worse, a weapon. How to talk to your kids about family wealth without creating entitlement This is where preserving generational wealth becomes deeply practical. Josh shared a personal example: he and his wife make significant annual gifts to their kids (in their 20s), and he has zero hesitation that they'll handle it wisely. Why? Because they've been having these conversations for years. That's the entire point of the transparency continuum: you prepare long before you transfer. If you want your kids to steward wealth well, start by inviting them into responsibility early: household contribution work ethic saving generosity delayed gratification clear expectations Then, over time, you build their capacity for larger stewardship. What is a family office and do I need one Josh offered a definition that's refreshing and accessible: if you have wealth that could become multi-generational, you're functioning like a family office—at some level—because coordination matters. Most families don't need a traditional single-family office. But many families do need a family office model: Someone coordinating the moving pieces A system to organize documents, accounts, entities, advisors, and responsibilities A way to reduce dependency on “the hub” person who knows everything Because here's what Josh saw after his father died: Information was either everywhere or nowhere. That's what happens when everything lives in one person's brain, one email inbox, one file cabinet, one assistant, one advisor relationship. And that's exactly where preserving generational wealth becomes fragile. Leaf Planner: a family office portal built for real life, not just death At this point in the conversation, I asked Josh to explain Leaf Planner—because many families have heard of tools that store documents or list accounts. He acknowledged those tools and even named examples like spreadsheets, Box/Dropbox/Drive, and other organizers. But he explained what Leaf Planner aims to do differently: Not just store information—map it. Leaf Planner is designed like a living “mind map” of a family's world: entities trusts assets advisors insurance properties responsibilities tasks stories the “why” behind decisions It answers questions families don't realize they'll have until they're in the moment: Why did mom pick Bruce as trustee? Why is Rachel the trust protector? Where is the fine art insurance? Which auction house relationship matters if we sell? Which advisor touches which decision? What happens if the 80-year-old lawyer retires? This is the difference between a document vault and a family office portal. A vault says, “Here are the documents.” A portal says, “Here is how the whole system connects—and why.” How to organize estate planning documents for heirs without losing the story Josh shared something that matters deeply: it's not only about preserving wealth. It's about preserving family. He said families don't end up in the news because they missed 10 basis points of performance.

Affordability is not an abstract debate for American families—it's the defining issue of daily life. Grocery bills, housing costs, energy prices, healthcare, and childcare all shape whether families feel secure or stretched.Families don't become pessimistic out of nowhere. Confidence erodes when planning for the future feels harder, margins feel thinner, and basic economics no longer seem to work in their favor.Meanwhile, leaders on both sides of the aisle are increasingly pointing the finger at free-market capitalism for nearly everything—high prices, inequality, corporate power, even government debt. But what's often labeled “capitalism” today is really a mix of subsidies, bailouts, protectionism, regulatory micromanagement, and monetary manipulation—policies that distort markets rather than allow them to function.True free markets are not chaos or greed. They are a rules-based system built on voluntary exchange, price signals, competition, and accountability. When people are free to trade, build, innovate, and respond to real prices, costs fall and opportunity expands—giving families the freedom to flourish.In today's episode of This Week's Economy, we explore how free-market capitalism supports families, restores dignity through work, and lowers prices to make life more affordable. We'll also examine how these principles apply at the federal, state, and local levels.

Idaho has become America's true crime epicenter—and the state's lawmakers are finally waking up to a disturbing reality. A judge in Bryan Kohberger's case confirmed in November 2025 that under current law, Kohberger could potentially profit from book deals, streaming rights, and paid interviews within just five years of conviction. The judge stated the statute "leaves open the potential for Defendant to receive money from media contracts in the future." For the families of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin, that's a nightmare scenario they never should have had to contemplate. This week, State Senator Tammy Nichols introduced legislation to modernize Idaho's nearly 50-year-old Son of Sam law—a statute that hasn't been updated since 1978, when David Berkowitz terrorized New York City and publishers lined up to pay him for his story. The Supreme Court gutted most of these laws in 1991. Idaho never fixed theirs. The new bill addresses digital monetization, streaming platforms, podcasts, and ongoing royalties—none of which existed when the original law was written. It unanimously advanced out of committee for a public hearing. But Kohberger isn't the only case exposing the problem. Lori Vallow Daybell owes over $700,000 in restitution to the families of JJ Vallow and Tylee Ryan—money she'll never pay. Chad Daybell's self-published doomsday novels may still be generating income somewhere. In this episode, we break down the full history of Son of Sam laws, why the Supreme Court struck them down, how Idaho's current statute fails victims, and what the new legislation actually does. Idaho became a true crime epicenter by accident. What they do next is a choice.#KayleeGoncalves #MadisonMogen #BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #SonOfSamLaw #XanaKernodle #EthanChapin #LoriVallowDaybell #TrueCrimeToday #VictimsRightsJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Today, we’re bringing you the best from the KUOW Newsroom… Removing a child from their home can be very harmful for them. And historically, child welfare workers were much more likely to take Black and Native American children away from their birth parents than other kids. So, over the last several years, Washington state made policy changes to keep more birth families together. But now, critics say those changes have gone too far and made children less safe, and they should be reversed. A note to listeners: This story discusses child abuse and death.

A Prayer to be a "Telling Family" Jesus didn’t add qualifiers to the Great Commission. He didn’t say go and tell only if you’re outgoing, confident, or know all the right words. He simply said… go and tell. The beautiful part? We all tell His story differently. At the ball field. In the car line. At work. Around the dinner table. In everyday conversations with ordinary people.This week, let’s keep it simple.Who around you needs to hear about the hope and love of Jesus—from a regular person in a regular place?Let’s be telling families. Reference: Matthew 28:18-19 (msg) Prayer: Father, thank you for entrusting your good news to us. Help us not to take that responsibility lightly. Help us to be telling families. Families who are looking for ways and opportunities to share your hope, your love and your light to a world that is hurting. In doing so, may our children be tellers of your good news as well.

In this episode of Be Evolved, Mary Miele is joined by Amy Nathan, Director of Student Services, and Becky Rebeck, Director of Assessment, for a thoughtful and practical conversation about two of the most important admissions tests students face in New York City: the ISEE and the SHSAT. Together, they walk families through what these exams really measure, why starting 6–8 months early makes a major difference, and how families can follow a clear prep timeline — from academic assessment and foundational skill-building to strategy, stamina, and full-length practice. The discussion emphasizes that strong test performance is built over time, not crammed. Amy outlines a clear, research-based preparation timeline that begins six to eight months before test day, allowing students to build foundational academic skills, learn test-specific strategies without pressure, and gradually develop confidence and endurance. Becky explains how assessments—including mock testing, academic evaluations, and cognitive learning profiles—help families truly understand how a child learns, so preparation can be personalized rather than overwhelming. Throughout the episode, the focus remains on the child's experience: reducing stress, honoring individual learning styles, and turning test prep into a process that builds long-term skills and confidence. Key takeaways include: Why early preparation creates better outcomes and less anxiety How assessment guides smarter, more personalized test prep What families should realistically expect at each stage of the timeline Families who want thoughtful guidance and a supportive plan are encouraged to reach out and start the conversation: admin@evolveded.com.

Send us a textTighter margins, tougher competition, and buyers who research online before they ever step on your lot—sound familiar? We sat down with David Hershberger of Hershberger Lawn Structures to talk about the simplest lever dealers can pull right now: diversify beyond storage and become the go-to solution for the whole property.We get practical about the numbers. A shed might net a 10% commission, but a playset can carry around a 60% markup with room to price delivery and setup. Hunting blinds don't move in the same volume as sheds, yet the margins often beat them—and the buyers come back year after year. David explains why some dealers made more on one playset than on three sheds, and how a few high-visibility displays can transform drive-by traffic into qualified leads. He also opens the hood on quality: Woodguard structural members wrapped for durability, Tangent poly rails, stainless hardware, proprietary rotomolded slides, and Stryker blinds with whisper-quiet tempered-glass windows designed for real hunts, not showroom talk.If you're wondering about the lift, we cover it. Expect a minimum display investment near $10K, smart packaging that allows hand unloads, flexible shipping options, jigs and instructions for quick assembly, and onsite installs that often wrap in about an hour. Add a playset 3D configurator and simple mapping tools to your website and watch your time-on-site and lead quality jump. Families engage because they're designing memories. Hunters engage because they're upgrading outcomes. Both groups bring emotion, urgency, and referrals that compound over seasons.We also share a big announcement: an exclusive partnership to help expand the dealer network for PlayMor playsets and Stryker hunting blinds. If you want to future-proof your lot and sell solutions that make people smile, cheer, and come back for more, this conversation will give you the strategy, the tools, and the confidence to act.

Recent randomized controlled trials have shown that routine perioperative palliative care does not improve outcomes for patients undergoing curative-intent cancer surgery. No, that wasn't a typo. Regardless of how the data were analyzed, the findings remained consistent: perioperative palliative care DID NOT improve outcomes in the only two randomized controlled trials conducted in this area—the SCOPE and PERIOP-PC trials. Null trials like these often receive less attention in academic and clinical settings, but they can be profoundly practice-changing. Consider the Shannon Carson study on palliative care for chronically critically ill patients. While some have argued it "wasn't a palliative care study," I've always regarded it as one of the most significant studies for understanding not what works—but what doesn't—for palliative care in specific patient populations. The same holds true for the SCOPE and PERIOP-PC trials. Both were null, but their findings are deeply relevant to clinical practice. That's why we invited the lead authors, Rebecca Aslakson (PERIOP-PC) and Myrick "Ricky" Shinall (SCOPE), to share insights into what they did in their studies and why they think they got the results that they did. One key takeaway for me from this discussion was the idea that patients undergoing curative-intent surgery might simply be too early in their cancer trajectory to derive meaningful benefits from palliative care, and maybe the focus should be more on geriatrics. I especially appreciated the closing discussion about the future of research in this area: if routine perioperative palliative care doesn't improve outcomes, what should the next generation of studies focus on?

The 28-day treatment model has been the standard since the 1970s. Relapse rates have stayed roughly the same. The approach hasn't fundamentally evolved. In almost every other area of medicine, fifty years of data showing 40-90% failure rates would have triggered a complete overhaul. So why hasn't that happened with addiction treatment? In Part 2 of our examination following the Nick Reiner tragedy, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott follows the money.A $42 billion industry where every relapse is another admission, another billing cycle. Facilities get paid whether treatment works or not. Insurance companies control treatment length through utilization review, overriding treating physicians and deciding when someone is "stable enough" for discharge regardless of clinical judgment. There's no standardized outcome tracking. No required reporting of success rates. Families can't comparison shop because the data doesn't exist.Shavaun examines the regulatory gap — in many states, the barrier to opening a treatment facility is shockingly low, with minimal oversight and no consequences for poor outcomes. We identify who pushes back when reform is proposed: treatment industry lobbyists, insurance companies, pharmaceutical interests. The research showing what works exists. Longer treatment. Integrated mental health care. Medication-assisted treatment. So what's blocking evidence-based care from becoming the norm? Is meaningful reform possible, or is this system too protected to change?#NickReiner #RobReiner #AddictionIndustry #RehabProfits #TreatmentReform #ShavaunScott #InsuranceCompanies #HealthcareCorruption #OpioidCrisis #HiddenKillersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Foster care has many shared experiences- many are beautiful and wholesome, but at times there are moments when we can struggle with some of the processes involved. Placement decisions, adoption, and transitioning a child from one home to another are no exception. These are hard conversations but they are important as you explore the world of foster care. This month we did just that- shared our thoughts and perspectives, as well as how we would handle a situation in which a family was struggling with how best to support children in their care.

Pencils, pens, textbooks and a full set of uniform might seem like the basics for any school student, but many families are relying on donations to start the school year. Several schools across the motu are able to fund parts of their school uniform, through their own coffers, local commuity trusts and donations. But some school principals says covering back-to-school costs means they are having to make sacrifices elsewhere. Bella Craig reports.

Today we're going beyond the crime to expose the system that created the conditions for tragedy.The Nick Reiner case has America asking how this could happen. But the harder question — the one nobody in power wants to answer — is why we built a treatment system where failure is the feature, not the bug.This True Crime Today deep dive examines a $42 billion addiction treatment industry with relapse rates between 40-90% depending on the substance. An industry where insurance companies can override treating physicians and discharge patients in crisis because the money ran out. Where facilities charge families six figures and face zero accountability when treatment fails.We break down the 28-day myth — how an arbitrary insurance timeline from the 1970s became the gold standard for treatment, despite zero neuroscience supporting it. We expose utilization review, the process that lets someone in another state with no medical degree decide that a suicidal patient is "stable enough" for discharge.And we examine how the workers on the front lines — counselors starting at $38,000 a year — burn out at alarming rates while the industry they power generates billions.The Reiner case isn't an anomaly. It's a symptom. Families across America are trapped in the same cycle: emergency intervention, treatment, discharge, relapse, repeat. Until the money runs out or the worst happens.Today, we name what's killing them.#TrueCrimeToday #NickReiner #RobReiner #RehabScandal #AddictionTreatment #MentalHealthCrisis #InsuranceIndustry #FamilyDestruction #SystemicFailure #AccountabilityJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What makes a family member turn killer? Three active cases are forcing that question into focus. Nick Reiner stands accused of stabbing his parents, director Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner, to death at their Brentwood home. He has a documented history of schizoaffective disorder, eighteen rehab stays, and a 2020 mental health conservatorship. His attorney withdrew while insisting Nick is "not guilty of murder"—signaling an insanity defense. Paul Caneiro is on trial in New Jersey for the 2018 murders of his brother Keith, sister-in-law Jennifer, and their two children at the family's Colts Neck mansion. Prosecutors say financial desperation drove the killings after Keith discovered Paul stealing from their businesses. Testimony this week included the final phone call between the brothers and graphic details about the children's injuries. Michael McKee, a vascular surgeon whose medical license had expired, pleaded not guilty to four counts of aggravated murder in the shooting deaths of his ex-wife Monique Tepe and her husband Dr. Spencer Tepe. Ballistic evidence allegedly ties a gun from McKee's property to the crime scene. All three cases involve family members. All three involve alleged warning signs that went unheeded. And all three leave the same question: what should families do when troubled becomes dangerous?#NickReiner #PaulCaneiro #MichaelMcKee #RobReiner #KeithCaneiro #SpencerTepe #MoniqueTepe #FamilyMurder #TrueCrimeToday #MurderTrialJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Under the authority of the Trump regime, U.S. forces carried out a series of lethal operations that critics say crossed a dangerous legal and moral line. This video breaks down allegations of extrajudicial killings linked to Trump-era policies — from U.S. airstrikes on small boats in the Caribbean, to opaque bombing campaigns in Nigeria and Venezuela, to fatal encounters between federal agents and civilians in Minnesota. At the center of the controversy is an expansive claim of presidential authority: that the president can unilaterally order killings without charges, trials, or transparent oversight. Families of victims, including the relatives of two Trinidadian fishermen killed in a U.S. strike, are now suing the U.S. government — arguing these deaths were unlawful and violated both U.S. and international law.

In this candid solo episode, Jesse walks through a series of financial decisions that look "wrong" on paper but make complete sense when viewed through the lens of real life, values, and tradeoffs. Using personal examples, he challenges the idea that optimal spreadsheets should always dictate behavior, arguing instead that financial planning exists to support a life well lived—not to win theoretical efficiency contests. Jesse explains why holding excess cash even when expected returns favor investing, and prioritizing flexibility and simplicity over marginal tax optimization. Throughout the episode, he dismantles the myth that good planning means eliminating all inefficiency, emphasizing that peace of mind, optionality, and behavioral alignment often outweigh incremental gains. By reframing "dumb" financial moves as intentional choices made with eyes wide open, Jesse encourages listeners to separate true financial mistakes from decisions that are simply mismatched to someone else's values or risk tolerance—and to give themselves permission to choose what actually works for their lives. Key Takeaways: • Not all financially "inefficient" decisions are mistakes. Optimization often ignores behavioral and emotional realities. • Taking care of a low interest loan can offer peace of mind—despit better returns often being found in investments. • Leasing a car or renting a home may be the right move—depending on the situation. • Using an HSA early may seem like a bad idea, but it could help reduce stress elsewhere in our financial lives. • Being a "lazy investor" is often better than being a complicated investor. • Spreadsheets cannot fully capture human behavior. A "good" decision can look bad to outsiders and still be right.

Full Gospel Center's Pastor Rick Leonardi preaching the message "Genesis - Part 20" on 01/28/2026 referencing Genesis 26.

The Astors... Chances are you've hear the name of this prominent and obscenely wealthy dynasty of gilded age America. You may have been to a hotel, library, subway station or town that bares their name; vaguely remember that one of them went down with the Titanic, or recall seeing their modern decedents in US or UK tabloids. But who were these captains of industry and Queens of society? Today we'll sort out the Astor family tree, put faces to the famous names and unearth their scandals! We'll explore how they got their incredible wealth, what they did with it and what their decedents are up to today. Join me every Tuesday when I'm Spilling the Tea on History!

I'm your host Stacey Simms and this is an In The News episode.. where we bringing you the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now. We are less than one month from our first MNO of 2026. Please join us in Silver Spring MD Feb 20 and 21. It's going to be amazing. We're going to Nashville next March 6-7 and we're going to have a great event a Club 1921 we just added on Thursday March 5th for health care providers and patient leaders. All the info is over at diabetes-connetionss.com events/ Okay.. our top story this week: XX   All UK children could be offered screening for type 1 diabetes using a simple finger-prick blood test, say researchers who have been running a large study. This is the ELSA study - Early Surveillance for Autoimmune diabetes, a first of its kind UK study. They tested blood samples from 17,931 children aged 3-13 for autoantibodies, markers of type 1 diabetes that can appear years before symptoms. Families of children found to have early-stage type 1 diabetes received tailored education and ongoing support to prepare for the eventual onset of type 1 diabetes symptoms and to ensure insulin therapy can begin promptly when needed, reducing the chances of needing emergency treatment. Those with one autoantibody also received ongoing support and monitoring.   Some families were also offered teplizumab, the first ever immunotherapy for type 1 diabetes, which can delay the need for insulin by around three years in people with early-stage type 1 diabetes. The second phase has launched and will expand screening to all children in the UK aged 2-17 years, with a focus on younger children (2-3 years) and older teenagers (14-17 years). The research team aims to recruit 30,000 additional children across these new age groups. ELSA 2 will assess how screening can be scaled across the NHS and evaluate its cost-effectiveness. https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/news/2026/childhood-type-1-diabetes-screening-is-effective-and-could-prevent-thousands-of-emergency-diagnoses XX At the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference Dexcom CEO Jake Leach says they're going to launch a new product outside the US. I'll link up that interview, The full quote: "When you look at the outside the U.S., there are a lot of structures that are tiered. Patients have access to different types of products, so we've got a new one that we want to introduce that will add flexibility there. It's based on the G7 platform, just like Dexcom ONE+, but it has a unique experience that's tailored for a subset of users that, today, don't have access to Dexcom." Your guess is as good as mine, but sounds more like a pricing or ordering issue than a new bit of hardware or software. Dexcom will also bring Stelo to some international markets this year. And plans a new mobile app experience for the wearable biosensor meant for people who don't dose insulin. Leach also says G8 will be much smaller and with more capability. but is a few years away. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/dexcom-ceo-jake-leach-2026-roadmap-jpm/ XX A new international consensus statement provides guidance for the use of diabetes technology during pregnancy for women with type 1 diabetes (T1D), type 2 diabetes (T2D), or gestational diabetes (GD).   Organized by the diaTribe Foundation, the document was based on evidence where available, as well as opinion from an international group of experts in endocrinology, diabetes technology, and obstetrics & gynecology, among others.   This is the first set of recommendations specifically addressing the use of diabetes technology in pregnancy – and we'll link it up. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/new-consensus-statement-addresses-diabetes-tech-pregnancy-2026a100020d XX Bariatric surgery beats GLP-1s for type 2 diabetes across income levels. This study was published this month, looking at nearly 300 patients are 4 medical centers. Success here is measured by lower blood glucose levels, higher weight loss (28% vs. 10%), less use of diabetes medications, remission of diabetes to the point of no longer needing to inject insulin, and reduced risk factors for cardiovascular disease.     Bariatric surgery was better than medical therapy across all social backgrounds, they found, and not just in areas of higher deprivation. The ancillary study was smaller, and some of the participants randomized in earlier stages crossed over from medical to surgical treatment, and the reverse. The authors acknowledged and accounted for these limitations, along with the rapid development of more powerful obesity drugs not fully captured in the study. This was a long term study – more than 12 years – and by the end of the study more people were choosing GLP1 medications. One dividing line: If someone hopes to lose 100 pounds, that's more likely with surgery than with medications.  "Ultimately, we need large, long-term, well-designed studies to clarify the best strategy for a given patient." https://www.statnews.com/2026/01/19/diabetes-study-bariatric-surgery-better-than-glp-1s/ XX Researchers at the University of California, Riverside have reported for the first time that a father's exposure to microplastics (MPs) can lead to metabolic problems in his children, including diabetes. This is a mouse study, but it looks at a previously unrecognized way in which environmental pollution may influence the health of future generations. MPs are extremely small plastic fragments, measuring less than 5 millimeters, that form as consumer products and industrial materials break down. Metabolic disorders describe a group of conditions that include elevated blood pressure, high blood sugar, and excess body fat, all of which raise the risk of heart disease and diabetes. The team found that female offspring of male mice exposed to MPs were far more prone to metabolic disorders than offspring of unexposed fathers, even though all offspring received the same high fat diet.     The research team hopes the findings will guide future investigation into how MPs and even smaller nanoplastics affect human development.   https://scitechdaily.com/microplastics-can-rewire-sperm-triggering-diabetes-in-the-next-generation/ XX The FDA has finalized four new recalls for certain lots of Abbott's FreeStyle Libre 3 and FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus sensors due to ongoing safety concerns. We told you about this in November when Abbott says some of its continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensors were providing incorrect low glucose warnings. Internal testing identified the issue—carbon building up in the sensors during the manufacturing process—and determined that approximately 3 million CGM sensors were affected. The sensors were distributed in the United States, Canada and several European countries.  When Abbott shared that announcement, the FDA was still reviewing the situation. No recalls had yet been finalized. Now, however, the agency has announced four new Class I recalls.   https://cardiovascularbusiness.com/topics/clinical/heart-health/fda-confirms-recalls-abbott-cgm-sensors-new-lawsuit-alleges-company-concealed-information XX   Insulet brings back it's U.S. Pod recycling program, now making it available to all U.S. customers. The Pod recycling program, offered at no cost to customers, enables users to request a recycling kit online. This allows them to return their used Omnipods. Insulet then decontaminates the returned Pods before transporting them to a company specializing in recycling for electronics and medical products. Insulet began recycling pilot programs in Mass and California and are rolling it out nationwide. Insulet also has "Pod takeback" programs outside the U.S. in several international markets. These programs enable customers to request a takeback kit by contacting their local customer support team.   https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/insulet-expands-us-pod-recycling-program/ XX Up next a new resource for a population at three times the risk for diabetes, but without a lot of access to health information. I The first diabetes information website primarily in ASL has launched. The site includes GIFs and videos on diabetes management and an ASL glossary of diabetes-related terms. This is from University of Utah Health – Called Deaf Diabetes Can Together. Deaf and hard of hearing people are at three times higher risk for diabetes, but access to health information in ASL is limited. https://healthcare.utah.edu/newsroom/news/2026/01/first-diabetes-information-website-asl-launches XX Novo Nordisk ended all work on cell therapies, including a Type 1 diabetes program, in October – and now has found a buyer. Aspect has acquired rights to the assets and giving Novo an option to reengage for later-stage development and commercialization. Novo is helping bankroll Aspect's development of the assets, investing in the company and providing research funding. The arrangement gives Novo a chance to profit from the programs down the line. Novo is eligible for royalties and milestone payments on future product sales and, having handed the reins to Aspect for now, can expand its role in later-stage development and commercialization. The integration will involve the transfer of capabilities and expertise from Novo sites in Denmark and the U.S. to Aspect's Canadian operations. https://www.fiercebiotech.com/biotech/novo-nordisk-offloads-diabetes-assets-aspect-amid-cell-therapy-retreat XX XX Lucas Escobar has carved a role by proving that healthcare marketing can be culturally resonant, commercially powerful and deeply human. As director and head of U.S. consumer marketing at Insulet, he has redefined how the Omnipod tubeless insulin pump shows up in culture, transforming a medical device into a symbol of identity, inclusion and empowerment.   Under Escobar's leadership, Insulet launched three breakthrough initiatives: Dyasonic: Sound of Strength, a Marvel comic collaboration introducing a superhero who uses Omnipod; The Pod Drop, which turned the sound of a pod change into a celebratory music track; and Omnipod Mango x Pantone, medtech's first color partnership, honoring the vibrancy of the diabetes community. Each blended creativity with purpose while driving results, helping fuel Omnipod's consistent double-digit growth and its position as the most prescribed insulin pump in the U.S.   Living with type 1 diabetes himself, Escobar brings lived experience to his work, using storytelling not just to sell, but to make people feel seen.   Click here to return to the 2026 MM+M 40 Under 40 homepage.   From the January 01, 2026 Issue of MM+M - Medical Marketing and Media https://www.mmm-online.com/40-under-40/40-under-40-lucas-escobar-insulet/ -- FDA approves an update to the prescribing info for Afrezza inhaled insulin. This is a revision to the recommendations for the starting mealtime dosage when patients switch from shots or insulin pumps. This is aimed at healthcare providers - the updated labeling was supported by results from the INHALE-3 trial. The FDA is still considering approval of Afrezza for kids – a decision there expect by summer. https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2026/01/26/3225442/29517/en/MannKind-Announces-FDA-Approval-of-Updated-Afrezza-Label-Providing-Starting-Dose-Guidance-when-Switching-from-Multiple-Daily-Injections-MDI-or-Insulin-Pump-Mealtime-Therapy.html   -- UK researchers have developed a calculator to predict whether someone is at risk for type 1 diabetes. They're hoping this helps in screening and in preventing DKA at diagnosis. They used the TEDDY study to create this calculator, which right now is in beta form and only for kids and teens ages 8-18. The current beta form of the calculator asks users to answer questions about four factors necessary to estimate a child's risk of developing type 1 diabetes: age, family history, number of confirmed autoantibodies, and genetic risk score. The calculator has been given regulatory approval as a diagnostic in the U.K., and he's working with a company that's hoping to bring it to the U.S. in the next few months in the form of a home genetic test kit. https://www.healthcentral.com/news/type-1-diabetes/new-calculator-might-help-predict-type-1-diabetes-before-symptoms-appear

If you're a parent feeling overwhelmed by your child's school experience… If you're exhausted from meetings, emails, meltdowns, phone calls, and “something just isn't working”… If your child is bright, creative, kind, and capable — but school keeps telling a different story… This episode is for you. Today on ReDream Education, I am speaking straight to the families who feel trapped between public school and private school options that still don't fit. Maybe you're noticing anxiety, school refusal, burnout, boredom, sensory overload, bullying, or a complete mismatch between who your child is and the environment they're in. And I want you to hear this clearly: You're not crazy. You're not alone. And the problem isn't your child — it's the system. More parents than ever are waking up to the truth that traditional school models were not built for the needs of today's learners — especially neurodivergent children. And instead of waiting for slow, bureaucratic reform, families are taking the lead. Microschools. Homeschool hybrids. Learning pods. Flexible, personalized learning communities. These aren't fringe ideas anymore. They're becoming a movement — one that is growing because it meets the needs of real families. ⭐ In This Episode, I Share…

Adversaries of the U.S. could launch a nuclear weapon at America, or they can achieve the same goal by flooding the nation with fentanyl, says Rep. Addison McDowell, R-N.C., who has introduced a bill cracking down on fentanyl imports.   Over the past decade, roughly 500,000 U.S. lives have been lost to synthetic opioid overdoses, mainly fentanyl, according to the National Institutes of Health.   McDowell on Wednesday introduced a bill aimed at blocking drug traffickers from bringing a tool called a pill press into the U.S.  The process of fentanyl entering the U.S. is “coordinated,” McDowell explains. China, for example, “will ship a pill presser” to a drug dealer in the U.S. to cut “pure fentanyl, ... pressing it down into ... something that looks like a pill,” he said. The Preventing Rogue Equipment for Synthetic Substances, or PRESS, Act, criminalizes the “intentional importation of unlisted precursor chemicals and related equipment, including tableting machines, encapsulating machines, press punches, die systems, and gelatin capsules, that will be used to manufacture controlled substances,” according to the congressman's office.  Learn more about your ad choices.

On the afternoon of March 26, 1997, the San Diego County Sherrif's Department received an anonymous call through 911 reporting a mass suicide at an address in Rancho Santa Fe, California. A single sheriff's deputy was dispatched to the address and knocked on the front door, but got no response. Finding a side door to the home unlocked, the deputy entered the house and was horrified to discover nearly forty bodies of adults, all of whom appeared to have taken their own lives in what appeared to be some kind of ritual.Not since the terrible mass deaths at Jonestown decades earlier had Americans seen such a bizarre and ultimately tragic occurrence and few were able to understand how such a thing could have happened in the modern age. What could have caused so many people to willingly give up their lives, and who was he enigmatic man who'd convinced them to do it?ReferencesAyers, B. Drummon. 1997.
