    Jesse fields six wide-ranging listener questions that dig into the heart of financial planning and investing. He opens with a challenge to the idea that age alone dictates portfolio strategy, emphasizing instead that time horizons, goals, and diversification determine the right balance between growth and preservation. From there, Jesse advises a listener who recently inherited $1 million on how to integrate the windfall into an early retirement plan through detailed cash flow projections, withdrawal strategies, and careful consideration of pensions and Social Security. Next, he unpacks the difference between risk tolerance and risk capacity—framing them as willingness versus ability to take risk—and illustrates how these concepts vary depending on age, assets, and future income. A question about bonds leads to a deep dive on duration, interest rate sensitivity, and why bond funds and individual bonds behave more alike than many investors assume, with practical guidance on structuring fixed income for retirement needs. Shifting to income growth, Jesse shares seven strategies for boosting earnings over time, from negotiating raises and pursuing certifications to building businesses, climbing the career ladder, and gaining equity participation. Finally, he closes with a clear primer on Bitcoin, explaining blockchain, mining, and the role of trust in money, while stressing that investors don't need cryptocurrency in their portfolios—but should at least understand what it is and why it matters. Key Takeaways: • Investment strategy should be based on goals and timelines, not just age. • A $1 million inheritance should be planned with the same rigor as any other asset, while respecting any personal or emotional ties. • Risk tolerance reflects your willingness to endure volatility, while risk capacity measures your financial ability to recover from losses. • Bond funds and individual bonds are functionally similar, especially when held to maturity. • Negotiating with employers or job hopping can be effective short-term paths to higher pay. Building side businesses or securing equity participation can create outsized wealth growth over time. • Investors don't need crypto in their portfolios, but understanding how it works helps in today's financial landscape.

    1 / 4 MDJ Script/ Top Stories for October 8th Publish Date: October 8th Commercial: From the BG Ad Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast. Today is Wednesday, October 8th and Happy Birthday to R.L. Stine I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal 1. Man falsely accused of Walmart kidnapping reportedly seeking $25 million in damages 2. Atlanta tenor Timothy Miller launches St. Catherine’s community concert series on Oct. 19 3. Roger Hines publishes debut book All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! BREAK: INGLES 7 STORY 1: Man falsely accused of Walmart kidnapping reportedly seeking $25 million in damages Mahendra Patel just wanted to help. That’s what he thought he was doing back in March at a Walmart in Acworth—helping a woman he assumed was disabled, struggling to manage two kids in a motorized cart. Instead, he was accused of trying to kidnap her child. What followed was a nightmare: Patel was arrested, denied bond, and spent 46 days in jail. He lost 17 pounds, endured threats from inmates, and was denied his medication. All for what? A misunderstanding. Surveillance footage later cleared his name, showing Patel calmly shopping, finding Tylenol, and leaving the store. Now, he’s suing Acworth for $25 million. STORY 2: Atlanta tenor Timothy Miller launches St. Catherine’s community concert series on Oct. 19 Mark your calendars: local tenor Timothy Miller will take the stage at St. Catherine’s Episcopal Church in Marietta on Oct. 19 at 3 p.m. as part of The Friends of Music concert series. You’ve probably heard Miller’s powerful voice before—maybe during the seventh-inning stretch at a Braves game, belting out “God Bless America.” But his talent goes far beyond that. From Verdi’s Aida to Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess, and even Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9, Miller’s resume is as impressive as it is diverse. The concert is free (yes, free!), with donations welcome. No tickets needed—just show up early for a good seat. STORY 3: Roger Hines publishes debut book 2 / 4 Roger Hines has released his first book, The Hard and the Beautiful: Life in a Family of Seventeen Children, and it’s as heartfelt as the title suggests. In this memoir, Hines—child number 16 of 17—paints a vivid picture of growing up in rural Mississippi. Life was tough: tenant farms, cotton fields, and the weight of poverty. But it was also rich, thanks to faith, laughter, and the unshakable love of his parents, Walter and Levie Hines. “Poverty doesn’t have to be a dead end,” Hines says. “We were poor, but we were rich in all the ways that matter.” The book is available now on Amazon and at local retailers. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info. We’ll be right back. Break: INGLES 7 STORY 4: Police: Intoxicated man made false bomb threat at Johnnie MacCracken’s James E. Lusk, 29, of Marietta, allegedly called in a fake bomb threat to Johnnie MacCracken’s Celtic Firehouse Pub late on Sept. 26—because, according to police, he was drunk and angry. Not exactly a great combo. The arrest warrant also claims Lusk grabbed a woman by the arm during the incident, leaving her in pain. He was arrested three days later and charged with simple battery, false public alarm, and filing a false crime report. Lusk spent a few hours in the Cobb County jail before being released on Sept. 30 on a $10,000 bond. STORY 5: Home Depot hosts Kidde’s Cause for Alarm Home Safety Event On Oct. 4, Kidde teamed up with The Home Depot and iHeartMedia to host a lively fire safety event at The Home Depot on Roswell Road in Marietta. Part of Kidde’s Cause For Alarm campaign, the day was all about raising awareness for fire and carbon monoxide safety—and making homes safer, one alarm at a time. The event kicked off with a Donation Drive-Thru “parade,” complete with fire trucks, gear, and local firefighters from Sandy Springs. Families enjoyed music, food, giveaways, and even met Homer, The Home Depot mascot. The goal? Donate up to $1 million in alarms. Break: 3 / 4 STORY 6: Liberty joins the lineup: Cobb County’s newest K-9 embarks on duty Meet Liberty, the newest (and furriest) member of the Cobb County Sheriff’s K-9 Unit. She’s an 11-month-old bloodhound with a nose for tracking—whether it’s missing people or suspects. But don’t let her serious skills fool you; she’s still a puppy at heart, with a love for stuffed animals (or, honestly, anything she can shred). Liberty is partnered with Deputy Barry Bales, a 17-year veteran who previously worked with K-9 Shax, now retired. “Liberty’s tracking abilities will be a huge asset,” said Sheriff Craig Owens. Expect to see her out and about soon—sniffing, serving, and stealing hearts. STORY 7: Marietta Square gets a seasonal makeover The Marietta Square’s looking a little creepier (and a lot more creative) this October, thanks to the 22nd annual Scarecrows on the Square competition. Local businesses, schools, nonprofits, and just plain crafty Marietta folks have all joined in, decking out scarecrows with everything from humor to heart. Judging happens this week, with winners—Best in Show and category champs—announced at HarvestFest on Oct. 18. HarvestFest kicks off at 9 a.m. in Glover Park, featuring arts and crafts, a pie-eating contest, costumes, and kid-friendly fun. We’ll have closing comments after this.

    Two years ago, the world watched in horror as Hamas terrorists stormed across the Gaza border and committed atrocities that changed Israel—and the world—forever. Families massacred in their homes. Children kidnapped. Over 1,200 innocent lives taken.Today, on the anniversary of October 7th, 2023, I talk with my friend Daniel Cohen: husband, father, journalist, and bold believer living on the ground in Israel as this war rages. Together we discuss life in a nation still grappling with the aftermath of October 7, the spiritual battle behind the headlines, and the hope that keeps Daniel and his family anchored in faith. We also talk candidly about the proposed peace plan led by President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu—20 points laid out with the hope of ending this war. But Daniel reminds us: peace requires a willing partner. And Hamas, a terrorist organization whose charter calls for the destruction of Israel, has repeatedly rejected diplomacy.Even as Israel faces war, they continue to provide humanitarian aid—over 2 million tons have been trucked into Gaza. And yet, the world accuses Israel of genocide. We debunk those dangerous lies and shed light on the spiritual war being waged far beyond politics. This isn't just about borders—it's about good and evil. Truth and deception. Light and darkness.

    Neal Shah's journey, showcases the impact of caregiving on individual lives and the broader healthcare system. Raised in a close-knit immigrant family, Neal's values were shaped early by the examples set by his parents and grandparents. After building an impressive career in finance, a series of personal experiences as a caregiver—first supporting his grandfather through end-of-life care, then facing his wife's severe illness—transformed his outlook and priorities. He became intimately aware of both the emotional toll and practical challenges caregivers face and the systemic flaws that make caregiving in America so difficult.These experiences motivated Neal to leave his high-powered finance career to focus on creating social impact. He founded Carry Ya, a not-for-profit project that connects families in need with qualified, motivated student caregivers at affordable rates, disrupting the expensive, often impersonal agency model. Neal is also the author of the book "Insured to Death," which exposes the failures of the American health insurance system, and he launched Counterforce Health, an AI-powered platform that empowers patients and caregivers to fight insurance denials. Neal's innovative, empathetic responses to systemic challenges underline his commitment to honoring caregivers as the backbone of the healthcare system and ensuring that their support, as well as that of care recipients, is financially and emotionally sustainable.About Neal:America's Chief Elder Officer. CEO of CareYaya Health Technologies and Chairman of Counterforce Health. Working hard to improve healthcare. Author of #1 Bestseller in Health Policy, "Insured to Death: How Health Insurance Screws Over Americans - And How We Take It Back". After a successful career as a $250 million hedge fund manager, deeply personal caregiving experiences inspired a pivot to social entrepreneurship. Now, determined to transform care delivery through technology.Building a rapidly-growing tech startup to expand access to affordable care. Pioneering cutting-edge AI applications and neurotechology to fundamentally elevate quality of life for those needing care. Motivated by creativity and humanitarian progress.Leveraging experiences guiding multi-billion dollar investments to make an impact on improving care for our most vulnerable populations. Leading with both heart and analytical rigor.Building unrivaled technical capabilities and strategic partnerships to establish CareYaya as America's leading launchpad for care innovation.

    Family conflict is normal, but harshness only “wins” in the moment and wounds in the long run. Adam, Chelsea, and Cassie show how Christlike gentleness—firm, kind, and restorative—can cool tempers, set wise boundaries, and actually heal relationships. From triage metaphors to Jesus restoring Peter, this is a simple path to fighting less and loving more.Resources Mentioned:Good News for Parents by Adam GriffinMatthew 18:15–20Proverbs 15:1John 21:1–192 Timothy 3:1–5Hebrews 12:11 Follow Us:Instagram | Facebook | WebsiteEditing and support by The Good Podcast Co.

    Police reports are often seen as the “official story” after a crash—but are they always accurate? In this episode of After the Crash Podcast, attorney David Craig and paralegal Holly Hines answer one of the most common questions families ask after a semi-truck wreck: how much weight should you give a police report?Police reports can provide details like witness names and statements, but they are not always complete—and sometimes they're wrong. Many families are surprised to learn:✔️ Reports are often delayed or missing information.✔️ Trucking companies may use them to their advantage.✔️ Reports can be challenged, corrected, or supplemented with investigation.✔️ A report alone doesn't determine fault in a truck accident case.David and Holly share stories where the initial report wrongly placed blame—and how deeper investigation uncovered the truth. They also explain what families can do if they believe a police report is inaccurate, and why hiring an experienced truck accident lawyer with the right team makes all the difference.—01:22 – Meet Steve Grover: Canadian Personal Injury Lawyer07:51 – Steve Grover's Story: Why He Chose Injury Law11:12 – Traumatic Brain Injuries in Personal Injury Cases18:08 – Jury Trials in Canada vs. the U.S.19:09 – Semi-Truck Accidents: How Long Cases Take in Canada21:56 – Legal Advertising: Canada vs. U.S. Lawyers23:12 – How to Find a Personal Injury Lawyer in Canada24:55 – Why Continuing Education Matters for Injury Lawyers27:37 – Steve Grover's Book Load 'Er Up and Drive Safe31:31 – What to Know About the Grover Law Firm33:16 – Why Resources Matter in Injury Cases37:53 – Hidden Insurance in Personal Injury Cases38:58 – Signs of a Trustworthy Law Firm40:11 – The Role of AI in Modern Law Firms42:25 – How Involved Steve Grover Is in Cases Today43:53 – Why Motorcycle Accident Cases Are a Focus for Grover45:24 – How Riding Shapes Steve Grover's Perspective46:37 – Premises Liability in Canadian Injury Law49:14 – Statute of Limitations in Canadian Injury Cases50:22 – Tort Reform: The Biggest Challenge for Injury Lawyers52:29 – How Steve Grover Gives Back to the Community—If you or someone you know has been involved in a truck crash, don't wait.Visit https://ckflaw.com or call 1-800-ASK-DAVID for experienced legal help.—Why Listen to After the Crash?Navigating the aftermath of a trucking accident can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to face it alone.

Today is Saturday, October 4th and Happy Birthday to Jon Secada I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. Central Gwinnett High teacher earns national award Gwinnett tops national mean score on SAT, but trails most metro neighbors Housing Matters: Rainbow Village breaks ground on expansion All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 1: Central Gwinnett High teacher earns national award The Health Occupation Students of America (HOSA) just gave Amanda Baker, a health science teacher at Central Gwinnett High, the Goodheart-Wilcox Outstanding Service Award—and honestly, it’s no surprise. For 11 years, Baker’s been the heart and soul of her HOSA chapter. Her chapter’s done it all—blood drives, parade floats, Stop the Bleed certifications, and sending students to Internationals in events like Biomedical Debate. STORY 2: Gwinnett tops national mean score on SAT, but trails most metro neighbors   Gwinnett County Public Schools is celebrating its Class of 2025 SAT scores for beating the national average—1003 compared to 996—but the story’s a bit more complicated. While the district outpaced the nation, it fell short of Georgia’s state average (1029) and ranked seventh among 12 Metro RESA districts. Schools like Decatur City (1181) and Forsyth County (1178) left Gwinnett in the dust. Interim Superintendent Dr. Al Taylor remains optimistic. Bright spots? GSMST (1360) and North Gwinnett (1165). But some schools, like Meadowcreek (836), are struggling. STORY 3: Housing Matters: Rainbow Village breaks ground on expansion  Big things are happening at Rainbow Village. On Sept. 29, they broke ground on a major campus expansion that’ll more than double their capacity to help homeless families—going from 30 transitional apartments to 66. Families who live there get more than just a roof over their heads. They learn how to budget, tackle debt, and save for the future. Utilities and internet? Covered. The $15 million project is 73% funded, but there’s still work to do. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: CITY OF SUGAR HILL STORY 4: Brian Snitker out as Braves' manager, will transition into advisory role After months of speculation, Brian Snitker finally made it official: he’s stepping down as Braves manager after the 2025 season. But don’t worry—he’s not going far. Starting in 2026, he’ll take on an advisory role, marking his 50th year with the organization. At 70, Snitker’s ready for a slower pace—more time with family, fewer road trips. His journey with the Braves started in 1977, thanks to Hank Aaron, who gave him his first coaching job. As the Braves prepare to find their next manager, Snitker’s legacy looms large. From consignment-store bunk beds in the minors to hoisting a championship trophy, he’s seen it all. STORY 5: Buford City Schools names District Teacher of the Year Emily Stewart, Buford Senior Academy’s media specialist, was named the 2025 District Teacher of the Year for Buford City Schools—and honestly, it’s no surprise to anyone who knows her. Stewart, who works with third through fifth graders, has turned the Media Center into something magical. It’s not just a library anymore—it’s a place where kids discover new worlds, take risks as readers, and actually *want* to read. Her Reading Challenge program? A hit. The Genre Café? Genius. Kids sampling books like they’re at a coffee shop? Who wouldn’t love that? But she doesn’t stop there. Stewart organizes school communications, helps teachers with tech, and even runs district-wide events like Books on the Bus, giving free books to families. We’ll be right back. Break 3: LILBURN DAZE STORY 6: Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful names 2025-26 Green Youth Advisory Council class Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful is kicking off another year of shaping young leaders with its Green Youth Advisory Council (GYAC) for 2025-2026. This year’s group? Twenty passionate high schoolers from 12 schools across Gwinnett County, ready to make a difference. New faces include Amari Wilson (South Gwinnett), Maansi Singh (GSMST), and Holly Spake (Brookwood), while returning members like Ananya Desai (Peachtree Ridge) and Brian Le (Brookwood) are back for more. From tackling litter to launching school programs, they’ll serve as advocates, volunteers, and innovators. Oh, and seniors? They’re eligible for a $1,000 scholarship. STORY 7: New store open at Mall of Georgia Johnston & Murphy, the classic American brand that’s been around since, well, 1850, is now open at the Mall of Georgia. You’ll find it upstairs, right across from JCPenney. Known for everything from handcrafted dress shoes to casual sneakers, polished jackets to everyday staples, Johnston & Murphy has this knack for blending timeless style with modern vibes. It’s the kind of place where you can grab a statement shoe *and* a go-to sweater in one trip. The boutique? Sleek, modern, and totally worth a visit.

With international media barred from freely reporting in the Strip, local journalists have risked their lives to document the unprecedented killing, destruction and displacement around them. Since October 7, 2023, more media workers have been killed in Gaza than in any modern conflict. Families have been torn apart, homes and offices destroyed, and reporters have been wounded, seen their families killed or have been killed themselves.

    The federal government shut down this week, leaving thousands of federal employees furloughed. Families who depend on WIC and SNAP could also be at risk if the shutdown prolongs. Since President Trump took office, thousands of federal employees have faced layoffs or resigned themselves.  Conversations around a government shutdown brewed in March, but the final straw for Democrats may have been in August. That was when Russell Vought, director of the Office of Management and Budget, said the House of Representatives would withhold $4 billion previously allocated for foreign aid. Trump blames Democrats for the shutdown. Which party will get their desired outcome here?Ezra Klein, a New York Times opinion writer, said that a shutdown may be exactly what Democrats need to regain power of the legislative branch. But could it jeopardize the party's political future?Also this week, President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gathered global military leaders in Quantico, Virginia, sharing their visions for the newly-named Department of War. This comes after 200 National Guard troops were sent to Portland, Oregon because Trump said the city looked like “World War II.” How do active and retired military members feel about orders to enforce the law in American cities?

    Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/FNr4NPpIs3U We delve into the case of the very chatty Karen Read grand juror, who was indicted for leaking confidential grand jury information and pleaded guilty on August 4th, 2025. We discuss the initial media reports, the details of the indictment, and the common practice of grand jurors serving on multiple cases. Find out how the leak became public, leading to serious consequences, including the loss of the leaker's job at the Department of Children and Families, a position she had worked years to achieve. The defendant communicated with a former friend, to whom she disclosed grand jury information, believing it would remain private. The government's perspective, highlighting that the defendant divulged information across several months, including witness identities, testimony topics, and even a sealed indictment before arrests were made! The joint recommendation for a sentence of incarceration for one day (deemed served) and 24 months of supervised release, aimed at deterring similar offenses in the future.
