Welcome to this week's Indie Artist Music Hustle with Blonde Intelligence. I am your host Ms. Roni and I always seek to give you exquisite cranial repertoire. The rhythm of innovation pulses through every moment of our conversation with Houston-based producer and DJ John Lacey. Beginning as a traditional drummer under the guidance of respected jazz musicians, Lacey's musical journey represents the fascinating evolution many modern musicians experience—the dance between acoustic foundations and digital possibilities.Lacey takes us through his transition from acoustic drums to the MPC, explaining how his initial reluctance toward technology eventually blossomed into a distinctive production style. "Being as how I'm such a rhythm-based artist, a lot of the times the rhythm comes first for me," he reveals, sharing insights into his beat-making process that seamlessly blends his drummer's instincts with sample-based production techniques.What truly sets Lacey apart is his revolutionary approach to DJing. Rather than traditional turntables, he performs with MPCs—one controlling DJ software and another for live finger drumming performances. This innovative technique creates shows that are visually captivating and musically complex, offering audiences something far beyond typical DJ sets. As a member of Houston Bass Runners competing in the National Beat Battle Association, Lacey consistently pushes the boundaries of what's possible with digital music tools.Perhaps most refreshing is Lacey's pragmatic approach to his craft. As a father of two young children, he balances artistic passion with financial responsibility, refusing to undervalue his work in an industry where artists are often expected to create for free. "Family is completely and utterly first for me," he emphasizes, reminding listeners that sustainable creativity requires setting boundaries and recognizing your worth.Whether you're a producer looking for technical inspiration, a musician navigating the balance between tradition and technology, or simply someone who appreciates honest conversation about the realities of creative work, this episode delivers genuine insights that will resonate long after the final beat drops.

MORE UNINTENTIONALLY FUNNY AI SLOP SHOWNOTES. Peter Hoistead? Thanks Gemini. Thanks listeners. We love you. Buy CBCo it's excellent beer. The Conditional Release Program - Episode 185: Federal Election 2025 Post-SpecialHosts: Joel Hill & Jack the Insider (Peter Hoistead)Overall Theme: A deep dive into the results and implications of the 2025 Australian Federal Election, focusing on Labor's historic victory, the Coalition's catastrophic loss, and the performance of minor parties and independents.Key Segments & Talking Points:(Part 1 - Approximate Timestamps based on original transcript, subject to adjustment)[00:00:00 - 00:01:23] Introduction & Election OverviewJoel laments being banned from betting on the election, particularly Labor's strong odds.Jack notes Joel would have won significantly, especially on Labor at $2.60.Historic Labor Win: Anthony "Albo" Albanese leads Labor to a significant victory.Libs sent into an "existential crisis."Albo is the first PM to be re-elected since John Howard in 2004.Largest Labor victory on a two-party preferred basis since John Curtin in 1943 (votes still being counted).Crucial Stat: The Albanese government is the only first-term government to have a swing towards it in Australian political history.[00:01:23 - 00:03:38] Significance of the Swing to LaborPrevious first-term governments (Howard '98, Hawke '84, Fraser '77, Whitlam '74, Menzies) all had swings against them when seeking a second term.Albo's government achieved an approximate 4% swing towards it (votes still being counted).Discussion points: Where it went right for Labor, and wrong for the Coalition, Greens, and Teals.Far-right "Cookers" performed terribly. Pauline Hanson's One Nation (FONY) might see minor representation.[00:03:38 - 00:05:11] Patreon & Sponsor Shout-outsReminder to support the podcast on Patreon: www.patreon.com/theconditionalreleaseprogram (for as little as $5/month).CB Co. Beer: Praised for their IPA and new Hazy XPA. Competition to win $100,000. Use code CRP10 for 10% off at cbco.beer.[00:05:11 - 00:08:52] Polling Inaccuracies & Liberal OptimismReiteration of the ~4% swing to Labor.Comparison of final poll predictions vs. actual results:Freshwater: Labor 51.5% (was Liberal pollster, told Libs they were close).Newspoll: 52.5% (Labor used their private polling).Essential: 53.5%.YouGov: 52.2% - 52.9%.Polling companies significantly underestimated Labor's vote, especially those advising the Coalition.The misplaced optimism at Liberal Party HQ on election night.[00:08:52 - 00:16:00] Specific Seat Results & Labor GainsGilmore (NSW South Coast): Fiona Phillips (Labor) won 55-45 (3-4% swing to her), despite Andrew Constance (Liberal) being the favourite.Bennelong (Howard's old seat): Jeremy Laxail (Labor) won 59-41 against Scott Young (problematic Liberal candidate), a 10% swing to Labor.Parramatta: Andrew Charlton (Labor) won 62-38 (was 53.47 in 2022).Aston (Victoria): Labor won in a historic by-election previously, now a 4% swing to the Labor candidate, winning 53-47.Boothby (SA): Louise Miller-Frost (Labor) achieved an 8% swing, holding the seat 61-39.Tangney (WA): Sam Lim (Labor, ex-cop & dolphin trainer) secured a 3% swing, now 56-44. Large Bhutanese diaspora noted.Leichhardt (FNQ): Labor's Matt Smith won 57-43 after Warren Entsch (LNP) retired (10% swing).Hunter (NSW): Dan Repiccioli (Labor) re-elected with 44% primary vote (5% swing on primary). Fended off Nats and One Nation (Stuart Bonds' inflated vote claims by "One Australia" on X).[00:16:00 - 00:18:49] Diversifying Parliament & Women in PoliticsPraise for non-lawyer backgrounds in Parliament (e.g., Dan Repiccioli, Sam Lim).Critique of the typical lawyer/staffer/union pathway.Labor's success in diversifying candidate backgrounds and increasing female representation.Liberals struggling with female representation despite some efforts. Discussion of potential quotas in the Liberal party and the backlash it would cause.Margaret Thatcher quote: "If you want something said, ask a man. If you want something done, ask a woman."[00:18:49 - 00:27:26] The Teals: Mixed Results & ChallengesInitial appearance of a Teal "romp" on election night.Bradfield (NSW North Shore): Teal Nicolette Boele (Burle/Bola) behind Liberal Giselle Kaptarian by 178 votes (updated during recording).Goldstein (VIC): Tim Wilson (Liberal) leading Zoe Daniel (Teal) by 925 votes. Wilson is likely back. Joel comments on Wilson's IPA association vs. his "gay, wet, mediocre, progressive side." Jack notes Wilson often highlights his sexuality.Jim Chalmers' quip about Tim Wilson: "Popular for all those who haven't met him."Kooyong (VIC): Monique Ryan (Teal) leading by 1002 votes (97,000 counted, ~8,000 postals to go). Redistribution added parts of Toorak, making it harder for Ryan.Liberal candidate Amelia Hamer: "Trust fund renter" controversy, owns multiple properties, London bolthole.Corflute wars in Kooyong: Hamer campaign's excessive use of A-frames, obstructing walkways, went to Supreme Court over council limits. Jack doubts the impact of corflutes.[00:27:26 - 00:31:28] Why Did the Teals Go Backwards?Liberal party invested heavily in Kooyong and Goldstein.Voters potentially preferring a local member who is a Minister or part of the government.Redistribution impact in Kooyong (addition of Toorak).Zali Steggall's success in Warringah partly due to "fruitcake" Liberal opponents like Katherine Deves.[00:31:28 - 00:40:37] The Greens: Significant LossesLost all lower house seats. Adam Bandt (leader) gone from Melbourne.Lost Brisbane (Max Chandler Mather) and Griffith back to Labor.Ryan (South Brisbane): Likely Labor win in a three-way contest.Greens will have no lower house representation.Key Reason: Housing policy standoff. Accused of holding up Labor's housing bill for over a year (affecting funding for domestic violence victims, homeless), pursuing "perfection" over compromise.[00:40:37 - 00:49:57] Deep Dive: Housing Policy ChallengesA major challenge for the Albanese government. Not an easy fix.Supply-side changes could devalue existing homes or slow growth, angering homeowners.Joel's view: Subsidized housing (rent-to-own, means-tested) wouldn't touch the high-end market.Negative gearing: Not a quick fix; removing it overnight unlikely to change much; issue is supply.Homeowner expectations of property value growth.Construction industry at full tilt; skills shortages.CFMEU's role in skilled migration for construction.Free TAFE importance for reskilling/upskilling.Linton Besser (Media Watch) criticism of Labor "building" houses when they reconditioned unlivable ones – Joel argues this still increases supply.[00:49:57 - 00:59:16] Deep Dive: Childcare Policy & Global Economic HeadwindsChildcare another area for government focus.Labor's childcare policy: Rebates for high earners (e.g., $325k combined income).High cost of childcare; need for better pay for childcare workers (Labor delivered a pay spike).Ownership of childcare centers (Peter Dutton reference) and profit-making. Call for more public childcare.Uncertain global economic times, Trump tariffs.Port of Los Angeles imports down by one-third.US Q1 economy shrank 0.3%; recession likely.Japan, China, South Korea meeting to discuss tariff responses; hold significant US debt. Japanese warning to US re: trade negotiations.[00:59:16 - 01:07:13] What Went Wrong for the Coalition? Answer: Everything.Gas Price Fixing Policy: Cobbled together, no consultation with industry (unlike Rudd's mining tax failure), potentially unconstitutional (taxing for benefit of some states over others).Work From Home Policy Disaster:Conceived by Jane Hume and Peter Dutton, no Shadow Cabinet consultation.Initial messaging: All Commonwealth public servants, then just Canberra.Jane Hume's media run: Claimed all WFH is 20% less productive, citing a study.Implied WFH employees are "bludgers," alienating a vast number of voters (including partners of tradies).Labor capitalized on this after door-knocking feedback. Policy eventually walked back.Defence Policy: Released in the last week, vague promise to spend 3% of GDP, no specifics on acquisitions. Andrew Hastie (Shadow Defence) reportedly wants out of the portfolio.Fuel Excise Policy: Halving fuel excise for a year. Took a week for Dutton to do a photo-op at a service station. Fuel prices had already dropped.Melbourne Airport Rail Link Funding: Announced at a winery.Vehicle Emissions Policy: Clarifications issued within 48 hours.Generally a shambolic campaign, studied for years to come.[01:07:13 - 01:08:55] The Nationals & Nuclear Policy FalloutNats trying to spin a better result than Libs, but didn't win Calare (Andrew Gee back as Indy).Nuclear Policy: Coalition embarrassed to discuss it. Nats insist on keeping it.Policy originated as a way for Libs to get Nats to support Net Zero by 2050.Massive costs and timelines: Hinkley Point C (UK) example – 65 billion pounds, years of delays. US Georgia plant similar.Legislative hurdles: Repealing Howard-era ban, state-level bans (even LNP QLD Premier Chris O'Fooley against it).State-funded, "socialist" approach due to lack of private investment.[01:08:55 - 01:15:49] Coalition Campaign Failures & SpokespeopleDebate on government vs. private industry running power.Lack of effective Coalition spokespeople: Susan Ley sidelined, Jane Hume promoted. Angus Taylor perceived as lazy.Angus Taylor's past water license scandal ("Australia's Watergate," Cayman Islands structure).[01:15:49 - 01:28:03] Demographics: A Tide Against the LiberalsWomen: Voted ~58-42 for Labor (two-party preferred), worse than under Morrison. Libs failed to address issues like climate, domestic violence.Language Other Than English at Home (LOTE): 60% backed Labor (Redbridge polling, Cos Samaras). Indian and Chinese diaspora significant, impacting Deakin and Menzies (Keith Wallahan, a moderate, lost Menzies).Gen Z & Millennials (18-45): Now outnumber Baby Boomers (60+), voted 60-40 Labor (TPP).Preferencing: Labor "gamed the system well"; Liberals' deal with One Nation backfired in messaging to urban areas.Strategy Failure: Liberals walked away from "heartland" Teal-lost seats, wrongly believing voters were wrong. Dutton's 2023 claim of Libs being "party of regional Australia" failed. No connection or network in targeted outer-suburban/regional seats.Female Pre-selection: Aspiration of 50% in 2019, achieved 34% in 2025. "Male, white, middle-class, mediocre."Sarah Henderson Example: Lost Corangamite in 2019, returned via Senate vacancy. Criticized as a "waste of space," arrogant for seeking re-entry.Both parties have taken safe seats for granted (factional gifts), but Labor learning. Example: Batman (now Cooper, Jed Carney) won back from Greens after better candidate selection.[01:28:03 - 01:36:42] Fond Farewells: Election CasualtiesPeter Dutton: Lost his seat of Dickson (held 20+ years), got "smashed." Likely preferred losing seat to facing party room fallout. Gracious concession speech. Australia's strong electoral process praised (democracy sausage, volunteers, AEC, peaceful concession).Michael Sukkar (Deakin, VIC): "Unpleasant piece of work."Recount of February incident: Sukkar, at Dutton's prompting, used a point of order to cut off Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus (Jewish) during an emotional speech about anti-Semitism and his family's Holocaust connection (Shiloh story). Dreyfus called Sukkar "disgusting." Sukkar moved "that the member no longer be heard." Widely condemned.Gerard Rennick (QLD Senator): Anti-COVID vaccine, spread misinformation (diabetes, dementia links). Jack recounts being attacked by Rennick's "poison monkeys" on X after writing about it. Rennick gone, likely self-funded much of his campaign.(Part 2 - Timestamps restart from 00:00:00 but are a continuation, add ~1 hour 36 mins 50 secs to these for continuous flow)[01:36:50 - 01:44:07] The Fractured Hard Right ("Cookers") - Dismal PerformanceGenerally went nowhere electorally.UAP (United Australia Party) / Trumpeter Patriots (John Ruddock): 2.38% in NSW Senate (down from UAP's 3.2% in 2022). Less money spent than previous Clive Palmer campaigns.Libertarian Democrats (Lib Dems): 1.99% in NSW Senate. Controversial name didn't help. Alliance with H.A.R.T (formerly IMOP, Michael O'Neill) and Gerard Rennick's People First Party.Monica Smit's calls to "unite" contrasted with these groups already forming alliances without her.These three parties combined got less than 2% in NSW. Lib Dems

Prioritizing Family: The Key to True Wealth and SuccessWelcome back to the Roots to Riches podcast! I'm Justin Benton, your guide to unlocking ancient wisdom to boost your health and wealth. In today's episode, "Family First, Fortune Forever," I delve into the crucial topic of balancing business success with family priorities.Key Takeaways:1. Time Blocking with BoundariesI emphasize the importance of prioritizing family time over work. By blocking out non-negotiable time for family activities such as dinners, weekends, and weekday mornings, my calendar now reflects my true values, not just my ambitions.2. Involving Your Family in the MissionI share how integrating family into your business mission can create a sense of ownership and unity. Whether it's having your kids help with small tasks or discussing business challenges and wins, involving them makes them part of the dream rather than competitors for your time.3. Filtering Business DecisionsI now filter every business decision through one simple question: "Will this decision bless my family or burden them?" This approach ensures that my business choices align with my true priorities and values.Personal JourneyI recount a transformative exercise I did with Dr. Wyatt Woodsmall, where I listed my top five priorities and the time I spent on each. This exercise revealed a misalignment between my stated priorities and my actual time investment, prompting me to make significant changes.Practical AdviceI encourage listeners to perform the same exercise to evaluate their priorities and time allocation. By being honest with yourself, you can either adjust your time to match your priorities or re-evaluate what truly matters to you.Final ThoughtsI conclude by inviting listeners to reflect on whether their business is blessing or draining their family. For those needing guidance, I offer a free guide called the "Seven Day Family Wealth Reset," which can be obtained by texting me directly.Contact InformationListeners can reach out to me for the "Seven Day Family Wealth Reset" guide by texting 805-296-1525 with the message "Family Wealth Reset."Ask this Episode anything!TIMESTAMPS00:00:00 - Introduction and Prioritizing Family Time00:00:41 - Welcome to Roots to Riches00:01:04 - Episode Overview: Family First, Fortune Forever00:01:46 - Realizing Misaligned Priorities00:02:08 - Exercise: Identifying Top Priorities00:03:18 - Exercise: Prioritizing and Time Allocation00:04:44 - The Sacrifices for Work and Family00:05:40 - Transformational Realization00:06:10 - Reprioritizing Family Time00:07:04 - Balancing Work and Family Commitments00:08:08 - The Importance of Being Present00:09:00 - Family as the True Fortune00:09:12 - Key 1: Time Blocking with Boundaries00:10:06 - Implementing Time Blocking00:11:08 - Key 2: Involving Family in the Mission00:12:01 - Sharing Business with Family00:13:03 - Family Ownership in the Dream00:13:14 - Key 3: Filtering Business Decisions00:14:06 - Alignment with Your True Why00:15:08 - Doing Kingdom Work00:16:02 - Partnerships and Opportunities00:17:26 - Future Prospects and Alignment00:18:10 - Legacy Over Revenue00:18:32 - Invitation to Reflect on Business Impact00:19:07 - Free Guide: Seven Day Family Wealth Reset00:19:28 - Closing Remarks Thank you for tuning in to the Miracle Plant Podcast.

Brad now works with Family First, an amazing adolescent program that supports teens (ages 12–17) who are struggling with addiction. His passion for helping young people and their families is powerful — and it all stems from the life he's lived and the freedom he's found in recovery.

Expectations can lead to pressure, which grows into stress, anxiety, and a diminished sense of self-worth for kids. This is a problem dads can help with. In this episode of the All Pro Dad Podcast, host Ted Lowe is joined by BJ Foster and Bobby Lewis to talk about how expectations are crushing our kids, especially our teens. They dive into the unique challenges kids are facing and how parents don't always make things easier. Key TakeawaysBrain Development: Teen brains are still developing, particularly the frontal lobe responsible for executive function. This can make it difficult for teens to plan, prioritize, and remember future tasks.Sleep Patterns: Teenagers naturally have different sleep-wake cycles than adults, often leading to difficulty falling asleep early and waking up for school.Creating a Safe Environment: Parents should strive to create a safe and supportive environment for their kids, focusing on guidance and encouragement rather than constant pressure to achieve.Practical Tools for DadsEngage in a meaningful conversation with your kids. Ask them to identify the biggest source of pressure they are currently experiencing, then follow these steps:1. Let your kids share their perspective.2. Verbalize your support.3.

The nuclear family is the backbone of a strong society—without it, we will crumble. In this episode, we're talking about Elon Musk's latest love child with Ashley St. Clair and why Conservatives cannot fall into the trap of normalizing single motherhood and reckless men who create broken families. Strong individuals come from strong families. When the family unit collapses, people become weak, directionless, and ultimately easier for the government to exploit. The more broken the home, the more dependent the individual. And guess who loves that? The people in power who want control over your life. So, we are talking biblical gender roles, marriage, family, and why morals will always matter—even if they stop mattering to everyone else. A father's leadership and a mother's nurturing aren't interchangeable, and no amount of modern delusion will change that. Children need both a mother and a father in the home.

As a dad of a toddler and a newborn, Balazs relates to these situations and shares his strategies that inspired the GPM Method.He wants you to start with a mindset to give yourself grace whenever you accomplish something big or small. A few hours of deep work, meal prepping, playing with the kids, and self-care are all "wins." They contribute to a sense of accomplishment and well-being that will motivate you to keep going. Next, consistency is key. Balazs recommends outsourcing tasks that you can no longer handle so you can focus on what you do best. It requires you to prioritize, delegate, and learn to say "no" to things that don't align with your values."Don't be super hard on yourself. Things take time, and as long as you're consistently showing up, it will click, and it will happen." - Balazs W KardosTune into this episode to embrace the "win your day" mentality and celebrate wins, prioritize wellness, and remember that consistent effort, over time, will lead to lasting success.Key Diamond Nuggets In This Episode:How can you manage work and family life with young children?What does it mean to "Win the day?"Why should you consider a few hours of productivity a win?How can you outsource tasks wisely?Why should you document your progress?Join the GPM Method WaitlistWant a Personalized Plan for Business & Life Optimization?Book A FREE Call Connect with Balazs W Kardos:WebsiteFacebookThe Diamond Life CommunityLinkedInYouTubeInstagramThe Diamond Life Mentor Instagram
