In this episode, I'm introducing G2 Goldfields (TSX.V:GTWO - OTCQX:GUYGF), a gold exploration company rapidly gaining attention following a major high-grade gold discovery and continued growth at its flagship Oko Gold Project in Guyana.   Joining me is Dan Noone, CEO of G2 Goldfields, who walks us through the company's resource, expansion plans, and ongoing exploration success.   Key Highlights from the Interview: Oko Gold Project now hosts 3.1Moz at ~3g/t, with multiple deposits along a 2.5km strike - anchored by the high-grade Oko Main Zone and expanding into the Ghanie Zone. A new high-grade discovery (“New Oko”) 9km north of the existing resource is delivering thick, near-surface mineralization, rapidly becoming the top priority with 4 rigs turning. Strategic exploration is ongoing across a district-scale 85,000-acre land package, including the historic Peters Mine. The company is well-funded with ~C$30M in the treasury and a drill cost of ~US$200/meter. Discussion around potential timing of a PEA, while management remains focused on discovery and resource growth. Institutional interest, with AngloGold Ashanti now holding a 15% stake and insiders controlling 25%. Please email me with any questions you have for Dan.

John Miniotis, President and CEO and David O'Connor, Chief Geologist of AbraSilver Resource Corp (TSX: ABRA) (OTCQX: ABBRF), join us to review one of the first drill assays returned from the ongoing Phase V exploration program, returning the best gold intercept to date at their wholly-owned Diablillos property in Salta Province, Argentina.  Due to the timing this hole will still make it into the updated Resource Estimate due out in mid-year in July.   These standout intercepts come from step-out hole # DDH 25-024, which encountered exceptional gold and silver mineralization just beyond the previously defined eastern margin of the conceptual Oculto open pit, in what has been dubbed the Oculto East area. These results underscore the strong potential for continued growth of high-grade mineralization east of Oculto, making this a high-priority exploration target for follow-up drilling in the ongoing Phase V drill program.      Highlights include of DDH 25-024 include:   31.0 metres (“m”) grading 10.0 g/t gold and 16 g/t silver, including 6.0 m at 41.9 g/t gold and 22 g/t silver   Additionally, the same hole returned a separate interval of 13.0 m grading 307 g/t silver from 216 m depth and within the conceptual open pit, including 8.0 m at 446 g/t silver in the upper silver-enriched zone   With three drill rigs now active across the broader Diablillos land package, and the potential to add a fourth rig in the future, the Company is entering another exciting new phase of exploration growth. In addition, the Company is doing all the derisking work programs in parallel with exploration for their ongoing Definitive Feasibility Study due out in early 2026.     If you have any follow up questions for John or Dave regarding at AbraSilver, then please email us at Fleck@kereport.com or Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of AbraSilver at the time of this recording.   Click here to visit the AbraSilver website and read over the most recent news releases.

Markus Baum über Markus 2,14 (Autor: Markus Baum)

Unsere zivilisierte Gesellschaft lehnt körperliche Misshandlungen als Bestrafung ab, im modernen Strafrecht wurden sie durch Gefängnis- und Geldstrafen ersetzt, wie es unserem Selbstbild als humaner Gesellschaft entspricht. Strafen sollen durch Belehrung und Abschreckung künftige Delikte verhindern. Zudem sollen sie der Vergeltung dienen. Doch gerade der Gedanke von Sühne und Vergeltung erscheint unwürdig für zivilisierte Humanisten. Der Beitrag Aufgeklärt Staunen mit Frajo (9) • Der dunkle Fleck von Anstand und Gerechtigkeit • Franz Josef Wetz erschien zuerst auf Kortizes-Podcast.

Gwen Preston, VP of Communication at West Red Lake Gold Mines (TSX.V:WRLG – OTCQB:WRLGF), joins us to review the achievements to date, including the completion of the Connection Drift and the final processing of the Bulk Sample this week at the Madsen Mine and Mill, in the Red Lake district of Ontario, Canada.   We start off reviewing that the test mining bulk sample has finished running through the mill this week, as the initial first step in the process of restarting production at the Madsen mine and processing center. The mill was started up on Monday March 10th after 28 months of maintained dry shutdown and finished this week.  The Company will now review the reconciliation of what the production grade and recovery assumptions were, versus what the recovered gold and revenues end up being and be releasing a report to the market next week.   Next we got into all the other mine restart activities well underway with the 185 employees and over 50 contractors busy with so many different initiatives and the camp being built and now housing workers. In addition to further underground definition drilling, another big milestone was the recent completion of the  underground connection drift which opens up an “underground highway” for the mining vehicles to easily access both portals without having to drive up on surface.   Gwen wraps us up with more information about how the company will use the funds from gold sold during this bulk sample to further ramp up the amount of ore that will be fed into the Madsen Mill starting later in Q2 and through the second half of the year, as operations ramp up to full commercial production later this year and moving into next year.     If you have any follow up questions for the team over at West Red Lake Gold please email us at Fleck@kereport.com  or  Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is shareholder of West Red Lake Gold Mines at the time of this recording.   Click here to follow the latest news from West Red Lake Gold

Kiran Patankar, President and CEO of Maple Gold Mines (TSX-V: MGM - OTCQB: MGMLF - FSE: M3G), joins me for a deep dive into the initial results from the company's 10,000 meter drill program at the Douay Gold Project in Quebec's Abitibi Greenstone Belt.   On April 3rd, Maple released initial drill results highlighted by 2.0 g/t gold over 108 meters at the Nika Zone, a 300-meter down-plunge step-out from a hole drilled four years ago. This intercept is especially notable given that the Nika Zone currently accounts for just 7% of the current 3Moz resource.   Key discussion points include:   The geological significance and follow-up plans at the Nika Zone, now the top priority with two rigs turning ahead of spring breakup Additional high-grade intercepts from the Porphyry East Zone, including 15.5 g/t Au over 1m, suggesting potential beyond classic porphyry expectations Broader strategy across the 6x2 km Douay footprint, including near-resource and regional targets How Maple is positioning Douay as a multi-million ounce, scalable asset, with underground bulk tonnage and open-pit development scenarios being explored.   The path to a potential resource update later this year and early engineering studies to assess development optionality   Please email me your follow up questions for Kiran.

We even touched upon our shared experience of recording a song by the talented Steven Fink, adding another layer of connection to our dialogue.Beyond his remarkable performances, Howard's passion for teaching and his commitment to nurturing the next generation of musicians shone brightly. He spoke eloquently about his book, "Rhythms of the Breath," and his joy in sharing his knowledge and expertise with aspiring musicians.Throughout the episode, Howard's infectious enthusiasm and genuine love for music were palpable, infusing our conversation with warmth and inspiration.

What exactly is validation? Dr. Fleck defines it as communication that demonstrates you are mindful, understand, and empathize with another person's experience, thereby accepting it as valid. In this illuminating conversation with Dr. Caroline Fleck, author the book Validation, we explore the powerful concept of validation and how it can transform your relationship with your child. Dr. Fleck is a licensed psychologist, corporate consultant, and Adjunct Clinical Instructor at Stanford University. After the conversation with Dr. Fleck, I provide my own perspective on the third part of her book. While I found the first two parts on validation techniques extremely valuable and immediately applicable, I share some concerns about using validation as a tool for changing children's behavior. I explore the ethical considerations of consent-based relationships with children and offer an alternative approach focused on understanding needs rather than modifying behavior. The conversation gives you an overview of the very useful validation framework, while the conclusion honors my commitment to respectful, needs-based parenting approaches that maintain children's autonomy and inner experience. Questions this episode will answer How do I validate my child's feelings when they're having a meltdown? Does validating my child's emotions make tantrums worse or last longer? What should I say when my child is upset about something that seems trivial? How can I tell the difference between validating feelings versus validating bad behavior? What are the most effective words to use when validating my child's emotions? How does validation help my child develop emotional regulation skills? What happens if I've been unintentionally invalidating my child's feelings? Is it possible to validate feelings while still setting necessary boundaries? What simple validation techniques can I start using today with my child? What you'll learn in this episode Simple, practical phrases to validate your child's feelings during difficult moments How to respond when your child is upset about something that seems small (like a broken cracker) The step-by-step validation ladder you can use with children of all ages Why saying "You're OK!" actually makes tantrums worse and what to say instead How validation helps your child develop emotional regulation skills faster Easy mindfulness techniques to stay calm when your child is emotional Specific examples of validation for common parenting challenges How to validate feelings while still maintaining important boundaries Ways to repair your relationship if you've been unintentionally invalidating The connection between childhood validation and long-term mental health Whether you're dealing with tantrums, big emotions, difficult conversations, or just want to build a stronger connection with your child, the validation techniques shared in this episode provide a foundation for healthier relationships and emotional well-being.

My guest this week is Sierra Hull.Sierra has been a guest on the podcast twice before and both times we chatted about an ongoing project she's been working on since her last record 25 Trips. That project eventually became her new album, the wonderful A Tiptoe High Wire, which we talk about in this episode.Recorded over four sets of sessions over a two year period, the album features Sierra's current touring band, as well as including guest appearances from Béla Fleck, Tim O'Brien, Ronnie Bowman, Lindsay Lou, Aoife O'Donovan and Sierra's husband Justin Moses.We talk about the process of writing the songs, some of which were written with these specific musicians in mind; the themes and inspiration behind the tracks; Sierra's desire to write more optimistic and hopeful songs; her decision to put the record out independently and how the album, co-produced by Sierra's friend Shani Gandhi, feels like one piece, despite being split over several different sessions.It's a fantastic record and, as always, it was a real treat getting to chat with Sierra.For info on where you can buy A Tiptoe High Wire and a full list of Sierra's upcoming tour dates, check out sierrahull.comHappy picking,MattSend a message to Bluegrass Jam Along!

To believe in oneself is a powerful thought.We've seen it drive elite athletes for centuries.It's been the foundation of one of the most successful shows in recent history, Ted Lasso. And for over 25 years, I've heard quarterbacks use that word - belief - time and time again.At my core, I trust that the best coaches, players, and performers must face moments of adversity. Hundreds of them. They must stare it in the eye, welcome it, and compete through it. We all have our own moments to reference. And if you're a quarterback, you likely have a few that stand out. It's such a defining trait that we use it as a core pillar at the Elite 11 when evaluating QBs. Every single NFL coach or GM I've ever spoken with about a prospect asks about it.Bottom line: If you want to elevate in life - or under center - when adversity shows up, you better believe you can find a way through it.Former Minnesota Golden Gopher quarterback Max Brosmer is a blueprint of that mindset. He joined the latest episode of Y-Option, presented by founding partner 76, to break down the ‘why' behind his success.I was introduced to Max through Seth Makowsky, an elite mindset coach and the founder of Poison Pawn. Seth has trained some of the top quarterbacks in the nation through chess, using a unique approach to developing their mental game.After visiting with Minnesota head coach P.J. Fleck and co-offensive coordinator/QB coach Greg Harbaugh Jr. this past fall, it was clear that Max was a special soul. A player whose work ethic stood out in my 25 years around the quarterback position and in the lengthy coaching careers of both Fleck and Harbaugh Jr.He's also a gamer.I was on the call for back-to-back wins for Minnesota this season against USC and UCLA. In both games, with the outcome on the line, Max met the moment. After you listen to our conversation, it won't surprise you why he delivered when his best was needed.Now, Max is on his path toward the NFL Draft. Ahead of his Pro Day this week, he took time to share some of his core principles as a competitor, the impact of the Minnesota coaching staff on his development, and his experience in the draft process. He also gave some insight into his former team's QB room as spring ball in Minneapolis kicks off this week. (Spoiler: He did the interview from Drake Lindsey's apartment.)If you're unfamiliar with Max's journey, here's the quick version: He was a 2-star recruit out of Georgia who's only offer was to New Hampshire, ranked the 255th overall QB prospect in the Class of 2019—the same class that produced Bo Nix and Jayden Daniels. Think about that for a second. Max was ranked 255th at his position in the entire country, and in six weeks, he'll be on an NFL roster! Safe to say that Ted Lasso would be impressed with his personal belief.Max went on to star at New Hampshire, overcoming injuries and adversity along the way. Through it all, Max never flinched. His maturity and discipline became defining traits. Once his football acumen caught up to his work ethic, he made his dream a reality - playing college football in the Big Ten.For high school quarterbacks and college players chasing a dream, this is a must-listen conversation. And if you're curious about what it's like to play for Coach Fleck and Coach Harbaugh, our discussion paints a vivid picture that might just inspire you to visit their facility.Speaking of learning, today's Y-Option discussion before our interview with Max focused on the quarterback position in the Big Ten for 2025. After diving into depth charts, film on new transfers, and incoming freshmen, my focus settled on the returners in the deepest league in the nation. What should Year 2 look like in the same system with the same staff?If you're on the QB path, be sure to check out our conversation with Mark Sanchez on what allows a quarterback to succeed in the NFL. It's one of my favorite episodes from Season 1 of Y-Option.I'm on my way to Boulder for the Nike Coach of the Year Clinic, and I'll be sharing insights on the Buffs, Elite 11 in LA, and spring ball as it ramps up nationwide.

In this episode we sit down with clinical psychologist Dr. Caroline Fleck to talk about the power of validation—what it really means, why it's so important, and how we can use it to strengthen our relationships with our kids, others, and even ourselves. Dr. Caroline Fleck breaks down the science behind validation, shares practical tools from dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and clears up common misconceptions—like how to validate without reinforcing bad behavior.

Seeking acceptance and validation is a natural part of the human experience — but do you know how to dish it out? Clinical psychologist Caroline Fleck believes that knowing how to give others the validation they need might be the key to building stronger relationships. She and Adam discuss some simple ways to recognize and validate another person's feelings, the distinction between empathetic validation and exaggerated praise, and why sometimes saying less is more.For the full text transcript, visit go.ted.com/RWAGscripts Hosted on Acast.
