#718 Quilting might not sound like a “high-growth” business at first glance — until you meet Mike O'Dell, founder of Legit Kits, a company turning quilt patterns into ready-to-sew works of art! In this episode, host Kirsten Tyrrel sits down with Mike to unpack how he went from working as a certified registered nurse anesthetist to building a fast-scaling product business that's already crossed seven figures. Mike explains how Legit Kits simplifies quilting by shipping pre-cut fabric kits + foundation paper patterns, why he designs everything using straight-line “low poly” artwork, and how he's grown through a mix of Shopify sales, quilt shows, wholesale distributors, and a thriving Facebook community. They also dive into the real behind-the-scenes of entrepreneurship — from COVID setbacks and supply chain chaos to ditching digital downloads due to piracy — plus why Mike says he's not selling fabric… he's selling dopamine! What we discuss with Mike: + Legit Kits: quilt patterns + fabric kits + “Ready-to-sew” quilting made simple + Foundation paper piecing explained + Low-poly, all straight-line designs + Copyright + licensing approach + Nurse anesthetist to entrepreneur + Real estate + early business endeavors + First sales: boosted Instagram posts + Revenue streams: online, shows, wholesale + “Selling dopamine,” not fabric Thank you, Mike!

The British economy is shrinking. Figures just released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) show that GDP fell by 0.1 per cent in the three months to October. The contraction came after growth of 0.1 per cent in the three months to September. On a monthly basis, the economy shrank by 0.1 per cent in both September and October after remaining flat in August. Is growth really Labour's priority? And what impact is all this doom and gloom having inside the party?Lucy Dunn speaks to James Heale and Tim Shipman.Produced by Oscar Edmondson.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

PREVIEW — Peter Berkowitz — Classical Liberal Arts Education and Roman Republic Heroes. Berkowitz argues that modern liberal arts education has systematically severed its intellectual connection to Roman Republic heroic figures including Cato and Cicero, classical exemplars of republican virtue and liberty who profoundly inspired the AmericanFounding Fathers and shaped their constitutional vision. Berkowitz laments that few contemporary university students or faculty members possess the requisite cultural heritage, classical education, or imaginative capacity formed by engagement with these ancient standards of philosophical liberty, political virtue, and republican governance, thereby depriving new generations of the intellectual and moral foundations that undergirded American constitutional democracy and republican principles. 1789 NEW YORK

American Football is a game played with 11 players on offense competing against 11 players on defense, with a sequence of plays executed as one team attempts to outscore the other, but each discrete play reflects actions on the field by players and off the field by coaches. For example, what is the best spot on the field to complete a pass and not get it intercepted? How do quarterbacks differ with respect to their release points? When should you ice the kicker? These are the questions that we are trying to answer on this special football-themed episode of Stats+Stories. Mike Lopez serves as Senior Director of data and analytics at the National Football League, and he's held this position since August of 2018, after previously serving as director in the same department.

PREVIEW — Ken Vogel — Hunter Biden and Foreign Influence Peddling. Vogel discusses Hunter Biden'sdocumented involvement with Chinese business figures and financial entities, noting Hunter's own stated "wonderment" regarding the sophisticated networks he accessed and his acknowledged awareness that his personal value derived fundamentally from his family surname and paternal political connections to Vice President Joe Biden. Vogel argues that foreign entities, particularly Chinese governmental and commercial interests, deliberately targeted the Biden family for systematic influence operations and strategic cultivation, accurately calculating that Joe Biden possessed substantial political authority as a sitting Vice President and remained a viable prospective presidential candidate, making influence investment strategically rational from Beijing's geopolitical perspectives and national interest calculations. 1903

Are you looking to save time, make money, and start winning with less risk? Then head to https://www.ovtlyr.com.Trades like this are the kind you remember. You put the position on, follow the plan, and it just takes off. In this OVTLYR Trading Room session, you get a front row seat to exactly how those trades unfolded, why the rolls were taken, how the risk was cut, and what signals kept everything on track. It's real trading in real time, and nothing is sugarcoated.One of the biggest takeaways in this session is how much clarity you gain when you stop stressing over your starting balance and start measuring your performance the right way. Money weighted returns finally make the math match reality, especially when your account has deposits, withdrawals, or both. When the numbers suddenly make sense, everything gets easier.On top of that, the video breaks down how OVTLYR plans operate in fast markets, calm markets, and everything in between. Rolling winners, managing open risk, knowing exactly when not to touch a trade, and using ATR levels to stay grounded are all on full display. And the best part is how simple it becomes once you understand the logic behind every move.Here's a quick snapshot of what you'll pick up:✅ How rolling trims risk while keeping winners alive✅ Why money weighted returns give a more accurate picture of your performance✅ How OVTLYR signals cut out the guesswork most traders struggle with✅ What to look for in trend strength, sector breadth, and order blocks✅ Why a rules-based plan removes stress from red candles and intraday noiseYou'll see trades that have already taken off 40 percent, 50 percent, even 74 percent of their risk, all while staying on because the trend is still holding. You'll also see why liquidity matters when rolling, how extrinsic value influences timing, and how sector confirmation sets the stage for new setups.The conversation also gets into the excitement building around the US Investing Championship and why having a real plan matters more than talking big online. Nothing beats transparent execution backed by data, and that theme carries throughout the entire session.By the end, you'll understand why calm, consistent execution beats hype every single time. You'll see how market breadth, fear and greed levels, and sector strength tell you when conditions are right for new trades.

In the clearest possible terms, the financial network surrounding Jeffrey Epstein was not an accident, an anomaly, or the work of a lone predator—it was a deliberately constructed ecosystem enabled by billionaires, institutions, and the largest bank in the United States. Figures like Les Wexner and Leon Black didn't just brush up against Epstein; they empowered him, legitimized him, and embedded him inside their financial worlds. Wexner gave Epstein unprecedented legal control over his empire through power-of-attorney arrangements and trust structures that effectively turned Epstein into the architect of Wexner's personal and philanthropic machinery. Black, for his part, funneled hundreds of millions of dollars to Epstein under the guise of “consulting,” using offshore pathways and fee structures so inexplicable that financial experts still can't reconcile the numbers. These weren't casual business relationships—they were pipelines, mechanisms, and conduits that allowed Epstein to scale his influence far beyond what any conventional résumé could justify.But none of Epstein's financial maneuvering would have been possible without JPMorgan Chase, whose private-banking division knowingly ignored internal warnings, suspicious activity reports, and staff concerns because Epstein delivered access to elite clients and deep-pocketed networks. The bank's compliance failures weren't accidental—they represented a strategic blindness, a willingness to override red flags in pursuit of profit and prestige. Taken together, Wexner's access, Black's money, and JPMorgan's infrastructure formed the backbone of Epstein's financial power. And that is precisely why Congress avoids digging into this side of the scandal: following the money wouldn't just expose Epstein—it would expose the machinery that enabled him, and the institutions that still shape American economic and political life today.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

When Beav Brodie was handed his wife's purple diaper bag to carry around town, he knew something had to change. As a tattooed, custom car-building dad, that bag just didn't fit. So he did what any problem-solver would do—he grabbed his sewing machine and made his own. That side project turned into Tactical Baby Gear, a thriving eCommerce brand that's become the go-to for dads who want gear that's as functional as it is badass. In this episode, Beav shares his journey from knowing absolutely nothing about eCommerce (including what a UPC code was) to building a product line that customers trust and keep coming back for. He also pulls back the curtain on navigating the chaos of 2025—from Meta auction issues to tariff headwinds—and why he's betting big on Amazon and YouTube as his growth channels for the year ahead.—Sponsored by OMG Commerce - go to (https://www.omgcommerce.com/contact) and request your FREE strategy session today!—Chapters: (00:00) Opening & Introducing Beav Brodie(04:45) 2025 Headwinds, Tariffs & Personal Life Challenges(08:45) Becoming a Real Operator: Systems, SOPs & Founder Mindset Shifts(12:00) Origin Story: From Custom Cars to Tactical Baby Gear(17:00) Manufacturing Realities: COVID, Price Creep & Moving Abroad(24:38) Recover hidden Amazon revenue with Threecolts(25:33) Meta Constraints & The Founder Bottleneck in Content(29:30) UGC, Influencers & Why Authenticity Beats “Pretty” Content(36:25) Offers, Acquisition & The Realities of Low-Repeat Categories(42:10) Brand vs Discounts: Community, Trust & True LTV(47:00) Channel Expansion & Product Philosophy(50:19) PostPilot: Direct mail that prints money.—Connect With Brett: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thebrettcurry/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@omgcommerce Website: https://www.omgcommerce.com/ Request a Free Strategy Session: https://www.omgcommerce.com/contact Relevant Links:Tactical Baby Gear: https://tacticalbabygear.comSponsor Offer | Threecolts: http://threecolts.comSponsor Offer | PostPilot: http://postpilot.com/Past guests on eCommerce Evolution include Ezra Firestone, Steve Chou, Drew Sanocki, Jacques Spitzer, Jeremy Horowitz, Ryan Moran, Sean Frank, Andrew Youderian, Ryan McKenzie, Joseph Wilkins, Cody Wittick, Miki Agrawal, Justin Brooke, Nish Samantray, Kurt Elster, John Parkes, Chris Mercer, Rabah Rahil, Bear Handlon, JC Hite, Frederick Vallaeys, Preston Rutherford, Anthony Mink, Bill D'Allessandro, Stephane Colleu, Jeff Oxford, Bryan Porter and more

Send us a textHave you ever hit a wall so hard that even resting feels like failure? (As in… you know your body needs a pause, but your brain says, “Absolutely not, we've got things to do”?)If you're nodding, you're not alone, and you're in the right place.This week, Alex and Carol dive into what really happens when life piles on, your circumstances look nothing like your vision, and burnout feels like it's winning. From sick kids and empty energy tanks to the quiet shame high achievers carry when they're not “performing,” this episode brings honesty, hope, and a whole lot of neuroscience-backed grounding.Together we explore the inner tug-of-war so many driven women face: Why does slowing down feel so counterintuitive? Why does heaviness make us doubt our strength? And how do we hold onto our dreams when everything around us feels cloudy?Alex and Carol get intimate about: ✨ Why burnout often masks itself as “I should be doing more” ✨ How scarcity creates heaviness—and why abundance creates expansion ✨ What to do when your brain is searching for evidence of failure ✨ The surprising power of small moments like a hug, presence, or community ✨ The counterintuitive truth that your “mission” during hard seasons is often rest, healing, and trusting the process ✨ What it really looks like to have faith beyond your circumstances—even when clarity is nowhere in sightYou'll also hear powerful reminders that align deeply with our community of high-achieving women leaders: ✔ You're not weak for needing support. ✔ You're not failing because you're tired. ✔ And you are allowed to pause without losing your momentum.Carol also shares a grounding takeaway you can implement today to interrupt the spiral: reach out. Sit still. Come back to center. Let yourself be held—in community, in faith, and in the knowing that your vision is already unfolding, even if you can't see it yet.If you're moving through fatigue, uncertainty, or that “something is weighing on me and I don't know how to shift it” feeling… this episode will give you breath, space, and relief.Ready to feel a little lighter? Tune in, take a deep breath, and let this be the reminder you didn't know you needed.And if there's a topic on your heart you want us to explore, send us a message through the show notes—we love creating episodes just for you.You're not alone. You're not behind. You're right on time.

What happens when a medical device executive walks away from a stable 17-year career to build a digital marketing agency in one of the most complex industries on Earth? In this compelling episode of The Proven Entrepreneur Show, host Don Williams sits down with Saul Marquez, founder and CEO of Outcomes Rocket, to uncover the untold story of pivoting, perseverance, and the power of trusting your gut in healthcare entrepreneurship.Before he founded Outcomes Rocket, Saul Marquez spent 17 years in medical devices, living what many would call a "dream career." In this candid conversation with host Don Williams on The Proven Entrepreneur Show, Saul shares how he walked away from that security to build a specialist healthcare marketing agency serving health tech, medical device companies, and ambulatory provider groups. If you've ever felt torn between a safe path and a bigger vision, this episode will feel uncomfortably familiar in the best way.You'll hear Saul break down his simple decision framework of "dreams and data"—how he used both gut instinct and real-world evidence from over 2,000 podcast interviews with healthcare leaders to validate his leap into healthcare entrepreneurship. The discussion dives deep into health tech marketing, medical device marketing, and why "you sell like you buy" is one of the most practical mindset checks for any founder, CEO, or marketing leader. They unpack why "cheap marketing" is so expensive, when to stop DIYing and hire real experts, and how to think about podcasts and webinars for lead generation in today's healthcare landscape.Saul also shares a raw story about a webinar gone wrong—a painful early failure that turned into a long-term client relationship and bulletproof SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) through radical ownership. Along the way, Don and Saul talk about comfort zones, "burn the boats" moments, choosing mentors wisely, and what big thinkers in healthcare are really struggling with behind the scenes. This conversation covers essential topics for anyone navigating the intersection of healthcare business growth and digital transformation.What You'll Learn:How to validate a business idea using the "dreams and data" framework before taking the leapWhy healthcare commercialization requires strategic marketing partnerships, not budget solutionsThe psychological barriers keeping healthcare professionals from becoming successful entrepreneursHow B2B healthcare marketing differs from other industries and why it requires specialized expertiseThe role of content marketing, webinars, and podcasts in healthcare lead generationWhy 10X growth is easier than 2X growth—and what that means for your strategyHow to recover from catastrophic failures and turn them into competitive advantagesThe importance of surrounding yourself with mentors who've already achieved your goalsPractical strategies for health tech and medical device company growthThe "three M's of leadership": Mindset, Mission, and MethodologyWhy This Episode Matters:This isn't generic entrepreneurship advice—it's a masterclass in healthcare business strategy from someone who's built a thriving agency while serving some of the most complex organizations in the industry. If you're a health tech founder, medical device company leader, healthcare CEO, ambulatory provider, or anyone in the healthcare sales space wondering why your marketing isn't working, this conversation will rewire how you think about growth.Subscribe to The Proven Entrepreneur Show for more unfiltered conversations with leaders building billion-dollar healthcare businesses and navigating healthcare commercialization.

South Park Charlie Kirk Predictive ProgrammingThe source material consists of a speaker's critical analysis of what they categorize as staged historical events or psychological operations (psyops), particularly focusing on the alleged shooting of Charlie Kirk. The speaker details a three-part media strategy supporting these events, encompassing predictive programming (content released long before the event), concurrent programming (content released at the time), and reinforcement (the media ecosystem validating the premise). Furthermore, the discussion transitions to critique the anti-geoengineering movement, which the speaker dismisses as controlled opposition designed to ensure both sides of the political spectrum agree on the fundamental premise of man-made global alteration. The speaker contends that these scripted events suggest that key public figures are merely scripted people playing pre-planned roles that stretch back decades. Ultimately, the speaker argues that the public's increasing inability to discern truth from sophisticated media fakery and AI-generated content is ushering in a "new dark age."SynopsisThe speaker focuses on analyzing major current events, such as the Charlie Kirk shooting, as staged historical events or psychological operations (psyops) that shape shared history. These simulated events are characterized by pervasive media saturation involving predictive, concurrent, and reinforcement programming. The South Park episode featuring a Charlie Kirk-esque character (Cartman/Clyde) falling off a chair to the left is cited as specific evidence of concurrent and predictive programming leading up to the alleged shooting event. The analysis extends to major public figures, referred to as "fake people" or scripted actors, whose roles are foreshadowed in prior media, suggesting they step into pre-planned scenarios (e.g., Elon Musk, Donald Trump, Charlie Kirk, Candace Owens).The speaker also critically analyzes the anti-geo-engineering movement (chemtrails), calling it intellectually dishonest and controlled opposition that serves as a tool of the "system". This movement, like climate change activism, results in the Hegelian dialectic working because both sides agree that man is destroying the planet.The central theme is the need for a paradigm shift to an "off-world stage perspective," where individuals adopt the premise of "fake until proven real" to counteract the rising tide of media fakery and AI-generated content, which threatens to usher in a "new dark age" characterized by visual illiteracy.5 Talking PointsStaged Events and Predictive Programming: Significant headline-grabbing events are considered simulated events (psyops or hoaxes) that are often scheduled and planned in advance, with scripts potentially existing 20 years ago or longer. The planning of these events is evidenced by the existence of predictive, concurrent, and reinforcement programming across media ecosystems, blurring the lines between nonfiction and fiction.The South Park Example: The South Park episode featuring a Charlie Kirk character being knocked off a chair to the left is highlighted as a conspicuous example of concurrent and predictive programming, elevating Charlie Kirk's profile just in time for the staged event and possibly foreshadowing his alleged fate. The association of this character with Cartman is noted as potentially representing how "the left characterizes the right".Controlled Opposition in Conspiracy Culture: Movements like anti-geo-engineering (chemtrails) are viewed as controlled opposition or a "litmus test" for gullibility, designed to provide the right wing with a political framework, ultimately aligning with the mainstream climate change narrative that "man is destroying the planet". The speaker argues that these popular conspiracy theories are generally fake and political, serving to misdirect those who stray from the mainstream.Fake People and Scripted Roles: Many individuals on the world stage are considered "scripted people" or "plants" who are playing roles in a reality TV show that is an "alternate reality game" inviting audience participation. Figures like Donald Trump and Elon Musk were allegedly foreshadowed in predictive content, suggesting they stepped into pre-existing roles. The activities of people associated with Charlie Kirk (e.g., Erica Kirk, Candace Owens, J.D. Vance) are seen as part of the overall scripted scenario.Combating Visual Illiteracy in the Age of AI: Due to the advancing sophistication of media fakery and AI agents influencing public opinion, relying on visuals to deconstruct a fake event is no longer reliable, necessitating a paradigm shift. Adopting the mindset of "fake until proven real" is crucial to avoid falling into a new dark age of visual illiteracy and remaining susceptible to psychological operations and emotional manipulation.5 Quotes"These are simulated events with significance in terms of our shared history. These are world

6/8. Alf Landon, the Unremarkable Candidate, Nominated by Republicans — David Pietrusza — Republicansdeliberately rejected Herbert Hoover, instead considering mavericks like William Borah and mainstream figures like Arthur Vandenberg before ultimately nominating Alf Landon, the progressive Governor of Kansas, who had won his initial term through fortuitous electoral circumstances. Landon, derisively known as the "Kansas Coolidge" for his lackluster personality, was strongly championed by William Randolph Hearst but demonstrated poor radio communication skills, a critical disadvantage in modern electoral politics. 1936 SONJA HENIE

Introducing the Future Presidents: FDR, Coolidge, and Hoover — David Pietrusza — This segment introduces the remaining figures who would subsequently achieve the presidency: Franklin D. Roosevelt, Calvin Coolidge, and Herbert Hoover. FDR, the ambitious Assistant Secretary of the Navy, was not yet prepared for executive responsibility, and his marriage to Eleanor had already deteriorated into a strained political arrangement. Coolidgeembodied personal integrity and reflected his remote Vermont roots. Hoover, the celebrated engineer and administrator, was so widely respected and non-partisan that both major parties seriously considered him as a potential nominee. 1925 COOLIDGE

“Real life conspiracies pose a certain challenge for political analysis,” wrote Jewish Currents contributors Noah Kulwin and Ari Brostoff in their 2019 piece on Jeffrey Epstein, the child sex trafficker, financier, and international rainmaker. As recently reported in a series of articles at Drop Site News, Epstein had close ties to the Israeli intelligence community, and frequently brokered meetings for former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, including meetings that resulted in the establishment of security ties with Mongolia and the sale of mass surveillance infrastructure to Cote d'Ivoire's authoritarian government. What do these revelations tell us about the flows of power and money across the billionaire class? And what do we do with the extent to which Epstein's story reads like an antisemitic conspiracy come to life? To explore these questions, Jewish Currents editor-in-chief Arielle Angel spoke with Kulwin, a co-host of Blowback, a podcast about US empire and interventionism, and Ryan Grim, co-founder of Drop Site News and the co-author of multiple recent reports about Epstein.Thanks to Jesse Brenneman for producing and to Nathan Salsburg for the use of his song “VIII (All That Were Calculated Have Passed).”Articles and Media Mentioned and Further ReadingDrop Site reporting on “Epstein and Israel” by Ryan Grim and Murtaza Hussein“The Right Kind of Continuity,” Ari Brostoff and Noah Kulwin, Jewish Currents“The worst thing about Davos?

Chamberlain's Progressive Presidency at Bowdoin College — Ronald White — Chamberlain returned to Bowdoin College as president, respected by figures like Ulysses S. Grant. He immediately advocated for bold institutional changes, declaring the college had "touched bottom." His progressive vision included introducing science, establishing a medical school, and implementing co-education for women—measures that frequently met alumni resistance. Despite administrative pressures, he remained a highly sought-after and eloquent public speaker.
There is a new trend for GOP officials like JD Vance to blame the failures on the GOP of the past while artfully ignoring that they have the power to change things right now. In fact, Trump and his circle have been in power for five consecutive election cycles and own all of the down-ballot endorsements and policies. They keep dredging up Mike Pence, George Bush, and David French as bogeymen, but when you look carefully, they are ensuring that the same policies continue under our banner without receiving the blame. Through this thesis, I take you through the latest news on data centers, immigration, foreign policy, and the courts to show how the very people who fail us get to live another day by deflecting the blame onto those out of power.
