Dylan Syer speaks publicly for the first time about the high-profile accusations that upended his life, including allegations of fraud, identity theft, and grand larceny stemming from his work as a celebrity personal shopper. Prosecutors claimed Dylan used access to clients' finances to make unauthorized luxury purchases, accusations he firmly denies. In this episode, Dylan explains what he says really happened, how the charges caused his business to collapse overnight, and what it was like being sent to Rikers Island while fighting to clear his name. He also opens up about the emotional toll of the case, navigating the criminal justice system, and ultimately being sentenced to one year of weekends at Rikers — a punishment that kept him trapped between freedom and incarceration. _____________________________________________ #RikersIsland #PrisonStories #TrueCrimePodcast #CelebrityLifestyle #LifeAfterPrison #JusticeSystem #RedemptionStory #lockedin _____________________________________________ Thank you to AVA & GOLD DROP SELTZERS for sponsoring this episode: AVA: Take control of your credit today.

Andrew Gautreau grew up in a good family in Louisiana, but addiction took hold in his teenage years and quickly sent his life off the rails. After finishing trade school, he began getting arrested for drug offenses — yet somehow still landed a job as a prison guard, training for a month at Angola, one of the most notorious prisons in America. His time on the job lasted just six months before he quit right before being fired, all while being arrested twice for drug charges outside the prison. As his addiction spiraled further, Andrew ended up cycling through local jails and a correctional work facility, where he spent nearly two years behind bars. In this episode, he opens up about addiction, hypocrisy inside the justice system, life on both sides of the bars, and how he ultimately turned everything around and got sober. _____________________________________________ #PrisonStories #AddictionRecovery #CorruptPrisonGuard #LifeAfterPrison #TrueCrimePodcast #AngolaPrison #FormerInmate #redemptionstory _____________________________________________ Thank you to PRIZEPICKS & LUCY for sponsoring this episode: LUCY: Go to HTTP://LUCY.CO/IANBICK and use promo code IANBICK to get 20% off your first order. _____________________________________________ PRIZEPICKS: Visit https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/IANBICK and use code IANBICK and get $50 in lineups when you play your first $5 lineup! _____________________________________________ Connect with Andrew Gautreau: https://tattedbadclothing.myshopify.com/ _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 From Addiction to Prison Guard: A Life on the Edge 01:00 Growing Up in Louisiana and Early Influences 08:00 Family Values, Childhood Trauma, and Identity 13:00 First Drugs, Addiction, and Losing Control 18:00 First Arrests, Criminal Charges, and Consequences 24:00 Escalation: Jail Time, Probation, and Repeat Mistakes 31:00 Becoming a Correctional Officer Against the Odds 36:00 Inside Angola Prison: Training, Reality, and Moral Conflict 42:00 Daily Life as a Prison Guard Behind the Walls 47:00 Drugs, Arrests, and Walking Away from the Job 52:00 Addiction Spirals: Crime, Chaos, and Self-Destruction 58:00 Rock Bottom: Overdoses, Homelessness, and Survival 01:03:00 Getting Sober and Rebuilding From Nothing 01:09:00 Life After Addiction: Giving Back and Helping Others 01:13:00 Lessons Learned, Redemption, and Final Reflections Learn more about your ad choices.

I'm re-releasing this episode because it's still one of my all-time favorites—and honestly, one of the conversations that stayed with me long after we hit stop on the recording. In this episode, I'm joined by Kiri Jorgensen, a former public school teacher in rural Montana and mom of four. Kiri shares what she saw changing inside the school system—from Common Core and high-stakes testing to increasing bureaucracy—and why her family chose to homeschool their youngest child after experiencing both public school and homeschooling.We also get practical: Kiri explains a simple framework that helps parents homeschool with confidence—separating “learning” (reading, writing, math) from “learning about” (curiosity-led unit studies). She shares her favorite strategy (the “curiosity jar”) to turn your child's questions into meaningful learning without recreating school at home.Finally, Kiri talks about her work as the founder of Chicken Scratch Books, a publisher creating clean, traditional middle grade fiction for families who want books they can trust.In this episode, we cover:Why Kiri left teaching and what she noticed shifting in schoolsCommon Core, testing pressure, and how it affects classroomsWhy homeschooling can take less time and lead to deeper learningThe “curiosity jar” method for interest-led homeschoolingBuilding lifelong learners and confident, capable kidsChicken Scratch Books and choosing better middle grade readsGuest: Kiri Jorgensen Website: chickenscratchbooks.comFollow the show, leave a review, and share this episode with a parent who needs reassurance today.Mentioned in today's episode: 

In this Teen Tidbit, I share how the kitchen is one of the most powerful places to pass on family values through working side by side toward a common goal. Cooking together naturally opens up conversation and creates opportunities to model what matters most, whether that is serving others, being good stewards of our resources, or choosing real food as part of daily life. I talk about how asking teens to cook foods they may not personally enjoy teaches empathy and service, how flexible cooking skills help reduce food waste and stretch a grocery budget, and how making simple meals from whole ingredients builds healthier habits without being overwhelming. When teens learn to cook, adapt recipes, and use what they already have, they gain far more than a meal, they absorb the values that shape your family culture and carry them into adulthood.Get the parenting video series now at raisinghealthyfamilies.com/teenvids or check out Teens Cook Real Food at raisinghealthyfamilies.com/teenscookResources We Mention for Passing on Family Values in the KitchenTeens Cook Real Food courseFree 3-part video series on parenting teens intentionallyTeen Tidbit 1 on ownershipTeen Tidbit 2 on agencyTeen Tidbit 3 on overcoming perfectionismWays to avoid food wasteCream of vegetable soup frameworkChicken stockHere are some of my favorite baby steps for eating more real food.Subscribe to the podcast so you don't miss any episodes this week!

Hi Everyone! I'm so glad to be back on the Pod after a few weeks. I am so grateful the Lord decided to use me to speak this week on family and siblings in Christ. The Lord has led me recently to reflect on family and how we treat one another. During specific times of year holidays, birthdays , and family functions we get defensive and believe we have to be on defense ; when in reality we need to not look at what they are doing to us, but we are currently dealing with internally. God has convicted me on how I speak to family, love them, and even intercede for them. How I am treating my siblings in Christ and if I am calling them higher or casting a stone? This week is so important to reflect before we really go into 2026 how we need to love the ones around us better but also intercede for those who may being going through spiritual warfare before they even come face to face with us. Grab your Bible, some coffee, and blanket and let's dive into the word!

In this episode of Uncommon Sense, I'm calling out a problem no one wants to confront: the normalization of partying, drinking, and casual sex especially among so-called “conservative influencers.”You cannot claim to defend Western Civilization while publicly celebrating the very behaviors that destroyed past civilizations. Conservatism without morality is just aesthetic rebellion.We don't need more clout, cocktails, or compromised values. We need a return to godliness, self-discipline, and moral responsibility because the future generations watching us will inherit whatever standard we tolerate today.If we want to save the West, we have to get serious about being truly Christian again.--https://www.bible.com/

In this episode, I sit down with the one and only Lee Priest at the iconic Gold's Gym in Venice California, to unpack the real foundations of bodybuilding: hard training, simple nutrition, and ruthless consistency. Lee shares what his actual contest prep looked like (including the cycles people still argue about), why modern bodybuilding often looks "softer," and the intensity mindset most lifters have lost. We also go deeper on focus, distraction, and why phones are quietly destroying training quality, and even life quality. If you're serious about building muscle, staying powerful as you age, and cutting through the noise, this one delivers.   5 Bullet Points: Lee's real contest-prep cycle, explained simply Why "more gear" often makes you worse Old school training principles that still win The intensity mindset most lifters avoid Phones, distraction, and lost training quality   About Ben Ben Pakulski is the Chief Performance Officer to elite executives, successful entrepreneurs, and top athletes.With over 25 years of experience, he coaches high achievers to build the physical, psychological, and metabolic resilience required to lead at the highest level.

Rising through the ranks as a teenage standout, Lee earned his pro card in the early 1990s and became one of bodybuilding's most iconic physiques through the late-90s and 2000s. He's respected not just for how he looked on stage, but for how he trained: hard, simple, consistent, and focused on execution over ego. Today, Lee remains a fan-favorite for his unfiltered opinions on modern bodybuilding culture, drugs, training intensity, and what it actually takes to build an elite body.   Time Stamps: 00:00 - Meeting Lee Priest: A Bodybuilding Legend 01:45 - Lee Priest's Early Career and Challenges 03:28 - Training at Gold's Gym: Memories and Changes 07:53 - Competing and Training Philosophy 11:18 - Reflections on Bodybuilding and Life 32:58 - Commonwealth Connections and Prime Ministers 33:13 - First Exposure to Olympia 33:35 - Comparing Bodybuilders: Then and Now 34:18 - Training Techniques and Intensity 42:06 - The Role of Technology in Training 46:23 - The Importance of Family Values 47:06 - The Influence of Social Media 48:15 - Longevity and Health Concerns 53:37 - The Impact of Modern Lifestyle on Kids 56:02 - Concluding Thoughts and Future Plans 57:31 - Personal Reflections on Training and Health 01:00:16 - The Evolution of Training Methods

For Christ and Country: The Martyrdom of Charlie Kirk is not just a book title. It is a warning about what happens when political hatred becomes normalized and violence is excused. In this episode of The P.A.S. Report, Professor Nick Giordano is joined by author Drew Thomas Allen to examine how escalating rhetoric, institutional rot, and ideological extremism are driving America toward moral collapse. Allen explains why the assassination of Charlie Kirk was not an isolated tragedy, but the predictable result of years of dehumanization fueled by media, academia, and political leaders. The conversation connects current events, including attacks on public officials, demonization of law enforcement, and the casual use of "Nazi" and "fascist" labels, to a deeper spiritual crisis facing the nation. What You Will Learn in This Episode: How political language precedes violence and why escalation is accelerating Why the Left remains ideologically unified while the Right fractures internally The role media, academia, and activism play in America's moral decay How law enforcement became a political target and why that matters Why saving the country requires spiritual renewal, not political theatrics

In this episode, Jess and Scott talk about how family values aren't created by rules on the wall, but by what's lived out every day. They explore how to start with parent-only conversations to clarify your true non-negotiables, then invite kids into the process in meaningful, age-appropriate ways.They also dive into a powerful conversation about why kids lie (hint: it's not about “bad behaviour”) and how parental responses can either strengthen trust or quietly erode it. If you want values that stick, not because kids are afraid, but because they feel safe and connected, this episode lays the foundation.Get 10% OFF parenting courses and kids' printable activities at Nurtured First using the code ROBOTUNICORN.We'd love to hear from you!

This episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson takes a hard look at the growing contradictions surrounding Erika Kirk and the direction of TPUSA's AmFest (or should I say IsFest). From Charlie Kirk's own recorded warnings about bad cultural role models to TPUSA turning around and platforming those very same celebrities (Nicki Minaj included) whose lifestyles openly contradict Christian teaching, the hypocrisy is no longer ignorable.We're breaking down how moral inconsistency, pop-culture appeasement, and ideological confusion are rotting the conservative movement from the inside out. America First cannot exist without Christianity first—not as a buzzword, not as branding, but as the moral and cultural foundation of who we are. And right now, we are watching our spiritual and national identity slip away in real time.When so-called Christian leaders blur lines, excuse the very behavior they once condemned, and choose influence over truth, they don't just lose credibility, they lose the plot (and they lose the people who trusted them).This episode is a call for honesty, consistency, and real conservative leadership rooted in the Christian values they claim to stand for. Not clout, not platforms, and not sinful worldliness.We don't need people playing leaders.We need actual leadership.—https://www.bible.com/

Send us a textAs we close out the year, I'm bringing back one of our most compelling and courageous voices—Nate Manderson—for his sixth appearance on the podcast. And trust me, this conversation lands with urgency, clarity, and fire.Nate's journey—from the docks to the classroom, from seminary at Gordon-Conwell to the front lines of working-class advocacy—has shaped him into a writer and thinker who refuses easy answers. You've read his work in Baptist News Global, The Boston Globe, and Salon.com. This time, we dig deep into his December article, “Reclaiming Christianity from Evangelical Hypocrites,” and ask what finally motivated him to write it.We talk about Christian nationalism, MAGA Christianity, and why the public face of faith today feels so disconnected from the teachings of Jesus—especially for women, LGBTQ+ people, immigrants, and the poor. We unpack the obsession with “family values,” the hypocrisy surrounding power and profit, and the way evangelicalism has become a very lucrative brand.Nate still identifies as a Christian—but not that version. He offers a different set of priorities: under-resourced schools, desperate communities, a path to citizenship, healthcare, and an unapologetic commitment to the working class. It's a bracing contrast between two competing visions of Jesus—and two very different futures.We close with Nate's predictions for 2026: the midterms, healthcare battles, MAGA Republicanism, and what the 250-year American experiment might demand of us next.This is not a polite conversation. It's an honest one—and a necessary way to end the year.SHOW NOTESSupport the showBecome a Patron - Click on the link to learn how you can become a Patron of the show. Thank you!

Modern life often feels like a constant juggling act. We rush from one activity to the next, collapse into bed exhausted, and wake up only to do it all again.No wonder so many families feel disconnected — even when they're doing:All. The. Right. Things…School drop-offs. Work. Homework. Dinner. Laundry. Practices. Bedtime. Repeat.From the outside it can look like a life that's “working”… and yet on the inside, something can still feel missing...Like the togetherness gets lost in the logistics.So in this week's episode, I share one of the most meaningful practices we've brought into our family life: creating a family creed.Not as a rigid set of rules.Not as something to moralize or lecture our children with. But as a living set of shared values — values we try to embody, reinforce, and return to in everyday moments and decisions.In the episode, I walk you through seven core values that shape how we live together as a family.How we respond when someone makes a mistake.How we meet grumpiness and overwhelm.How we relate to learning and growth.How we approach problems.How we voice complaints without harming each other.How we repair quickly when someone's feelings are hurt.And how we keep kindness at the center — even in hard moments.What surprised me most is this: we didn't just create these values… over time, they began shaping us.They started influencing our tone, our choices, our priorities, and the emotional “air” in our home.If you've been craving more purpose, belonging, meaning, or connection in your family — or if you're simply tired of surviving from one busy week to the next — this episode is an invitation to pause and reflect.You'll also find a gentle, practical guidance for how you might begin creating your own family values or creed in a way that feels authentic and sustainable — not overwhelming.And if this episode offers you even a small moment of clarity — a sentence that lingers, a value that resonates, or a desire to start a conversation at your own kitchen table — it has done its job.You don't have to create anything perfectly or all at once. These things grow slowly, through shared moments, honest conversations, and the values you choose to live — not just talk about.Wherever you and your family are right now, it's a good place to begin.Oh—and if you have something you're navigating and would love my take on it...

Interviewer: JOSHUA ROSE. In this episode of the Andrea Mitchell Center for the Study of Democracy podcast, host JOSHUA ROSE speaks with Penn Law and History Professor SERENA MAYERI about her book Marital Privilege: Marriage, Inequality, and the Transformation of American Law. Mayeri unpacks how Supreme Court decision-making around family and privacy can defy ideological expectations, why challenges to marriage's legal primacy were often fragmented rather than movement-coordinated, and how today's "traditional family values" revival intersects with longstanding conservative legal projects and post-Dobbs uncertainty.

This week on Five Minute Finance, Mike Morton and host Matt Robison dive into end-of-year charitable giving—how to make it reflect your family's values, how to simplify it with donor-advised funds, and how to unlock powerful tax benefits by donating appreciated stock or using a “bunching” strategy. If you're thinking about giving more this season (or just want your giving to work harder), this episode is your quick, practical guide.Find out more about Mike at https://www.mortonfinancialadvice.com and connect at https://www.linkedin.com/in/mwsmorton/

“If you get on cruise control and let everything start festering, it's gonna find a way to get out somehow…everybody makes mistakes, I made one and I apologized for it and moved on, and I'm better for it now.” Desmond Bane In one of the most authentic and real conversations we've had on The Pivot Podcast, Ryan Clark, Fred Taylor, and Channing Crowder sit with Orlando Magic star Desmond Bane — a player whose journey is as powerful as his jump shot and deep roots that have grounded him since day one. With humility at his core in all he does, Bane's talents have often been overshadowed by his quiet demeanor but this off season his value was at the forefront, when Orlando traded for the young star solidifying his place as one of the top players in the NBA. Bane opens up about the early adversity that fueled his rise, the overlooked beginnings that pushed him to grind harder than the next guy, and the deep bond he built with Ja Morant in Memphis — a brotherhood formed through shared battles, growth, and the pressures of leading a young franchise. Now, after a blockbuster trade to Orlando, Bane talks candidly about embracing a new chapter and the responsibility of being a cornerstone for a young Magic squad. He opens up on how it took a little while trying to find his place in a new arena and gives context to the uncharacteristic game ejection early on, and shares what one thing clicked that has fueled his explosive run, including his back-to-back 37-point performances that set the tone for what's becoming a breakout year in his new uniform and has his team 4-0 in the NBA Cup. Raised by his grandparents in the tight-knit community of Richmond, Indiana, Bane reflects on how small-town values, discipline, and love shaped the competitor and man he is today. It wasn't an easy path and the young star reveals his personal anxiety battles and how he redefined his path. He talks about the pain of loss and how his wife and kids helped him redefine purpose after grieving from so much change. And in a rare pivotal moment on the show, Desmond flips the conversation to Ryan, Channing and Fred, asking them how life is for them and how they have handled certain changes....truly a powerful part of the episode. Authentic, honest, and inspiring, this conversation captures Desmond Bane at a pivotal moment — reflecting on where he came from, honoring the people who raised him, and stepping boldly into the player he's proving he can be.
