Tatum was a member of the ultra-secret, international G7 run Pegasus "Hit Team" working directly for the sitting President. From sensitive and highly secret - and hitherto largely unknown - Special Forces covert operations in Cambodia, to wandering CIA asset, through to "black ops" activities in Grenada and Oliver North's Iran-Contra "Enterprise," and on to membership in an international "hit team," Gene "Chip" Tatum has seen it all, done it all and is now telling it all. Tatum knows where the skeletons are buried. Above all he is aware that his testimony implicates serving and former US Presidents, plus a whole list of high government officials, and others, in a welter of nefarious activities - including assassination, blackmail, coercion, gun-running, money-laundering and Cocaine trafficking. Tatum, a lanky Floridian, turned whistle-blower following his arrest on a treason charge in 1995. The charge was both astonishing and patently ludicrous and resulted in a flurry of press interest with an article appearing in the Tampa Tribune on 4 May 1996. Incredibly, the charge was later dropped to be replaced by a fraud charge - a drastic step-down. Found guilty after his government appointed attorney refused to call any defense witnesses, he was sentenced to serve a 15-month sentence. www.chiptatum.com Theodore L. Gunderson (November 7, 1928 – July 31, 2011) was an American Federal Bureau of Investigation Special Agent In Charge and head of the Los Angeles FBI.

Seth Carswell has a passion for custom design, craftsmanship, and legacy. As Florida's only custom boot maker, Seth's artistry, traditional technique, and commitment to detail are evident in every stitch of his boots. As a 3rd generation Floridian, his family background lies in timber production and he spent much of his younger years involved in that business or on the water, before turning to his passion for blending form, function, and legacy in leather goods.  Nothing demonstrates this concept more than his alligator boots.  Managing alligator populations through hunting programs on both public and private lands is an integral part of conservation here in the Sunshine State and Seth indirectly plays a small role in all this by crafting the tanned gator skins into beautiful boots that reflect his love of Florida. Join us in this conversation as we learn more about Seth's family the origins and future plans for Florida Boot Company.

Jake Holehouse, CEO of HH Insurance Group, joins host Owen LaFave for a deep dive into a topic relevant to every Floridian: the cost of insurance in our wonderful but weather-prone state. Yes, Florida has experienced insurance challenges in recent years–especially when it comes to property, auto, flood, and marine insurance–but as Jake says, “It doesn't have to be expensive in Florida.” This informative discussion starts with the impact of 2022 legislative reforms on stabilizing insurance rates, and why consumers may not see immediate reductions due to rising construction costs–even though the market is in a better position and continues to improve. In the meantime, Jake shares practical strategies home and business owners can use to reduce their premiums and mitigate expenses. He also explains the limitations of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and the unique vulnerabilities experienced by businesses in flood-prone areas. Finally, Jake and Owen look to the future with the rise of Insurtech–the use of AI and other technology–and consider reasons to feel optimistic about the state of insurance in Florida.   The Bank of Tampa | Member FDIC

Republicans and their cheering fans in Con Inc. media are a bunch of listless vessels with no ideological direction on most issues. The one shining exception is the gun rights movement. We're joined today by Luis Valdes, national spokesman for Gun Owners of America, for a presentation on where things stand with gun rights both federally and in the states. Valdes celebrates numerous policy and legal successes of GOA, but also warns that there is more to be done. The gaping hole in gun rights is the gun-free zones. As a Floridian, he discusses the lessons of the FSU campus shooter and how RINOs in Florida support gun control without campaigning on it. Also, as a former police officer, Valdes is passionate about the need to treat civilians and police equally. He confronts some of the arguments from police organizations in support of various gun control laws. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The gals are back with another episode of PMF, and this week, we're serving up giggles, unsolicited opinions, and having at least one existential crisis. We kick things off by dissecting iPad kids—are they the future, or overstimulated monsters raised by YouTube autoplay?

But wait, there's more! Are all NYC influencers truly the same person in a different font? We break it all down, from the algorithm's eerie mind control to the dystopian content pipeline we can't stop consuming.So grab your snacks, settle in, and join the spiral. It's gonna be a ride.

Florida property taxes could drop to 0%. As the state struggles with some of the lowest affordability in the country, with home insurance almost doubling in five years and home prices increasing by more than 50% compared to pre-pandemic pricing, Floridian homeowners have seen their housing costs explode. So, what if they could save thousands of dollars a year by ditching property taxes? If Florida makes it work, this could open up the floodgates for many other states to pass similar bills. But WILL it work? A significant amount of Florida's tax revenue comes from property taxes, so will they be efficient enough to work with a tighter budget, or will infrastructure break down due to the massive loss in government funding? And, if property taxes are eliminated, boosting affordability, could buyer demand surge as well? We ran the numbers, and the potential savings on housing costs are substantial. If Florida proves a successful 0% property tax test case, other states (including yours) could be next. In This Episode We Cover Florida's new legislative push to abolish or reduce property taxes for homeowners How much homeowners would save every month if their property taxes were eliminated Can Florida afford to ban property taxes, and which services would be compromised if they did? States that are most likely to eliminate property taxes if Florida succeeds Serious side effects of eliminating property taxes and who pays the price And So Much More!

From Startup to Multi-Million Dollar Brand with Matt McLean   What does it take to turn a backyard business into a nationwide brand? How do you scale profitably while staying true to your mission? And what are the biggest mistakes entrepreneurs make when growing their companies?   This week on The Profit Answer Man, we dive deep with Matt McLean, founder and CEO of Uncle Matt's Organic, America's top-selling organic orange juice brand. With distribution in 20,000+ stores nationwide, including Walmart, Whole Foods, and Kroger, Matt has mastered the art of scaling a business while staying profitable.   But it wasn't always easy. Matt's journey is one of resilience, adapting to economic downturns, market competition, and supply chain disruptions while keeping his company thriving. If you're an entrepreneur looking for real-world lessons on business growth, financial discipline, and staying ahead in a competitive market, this episode is for you.   In This Episode, You Will Learn: How Matt McLean grew Uncle Matt's Organic from 3 acres to a national brand. The profit-first strategies he uses to maintain financial stability. The #1 mistake most businesses make when trying to scale. Why competition can destroy your margins—and how to fight back. How to stand out in an overcrowded industry and build a loyal customer base.   Key Takeaways:    Why Every Business Needs a “Day One” Mentality. Even after 25 years in business, Matt still thinks of Uncle Matt's Organic as a startup. He believes that success comes from constantly innovating, staying lean, and never becoming complacent—a mindset Amazon's Jeff Bezos also champions.   The Hardest Part About Scaling? Profitability. Most entrepreneurs believe that more revenue = more profit. WRONG!. As Matt explains, when you create a highly profitable niche, competitors swarm in, driving down margins. The Biggest Mistake That Kills Businesses. Matt shares how many businesses fail because they don't plan for market fluctuations. After surviving industry downturns and major economic shifts, his advice is clear: “Always have a financial cushion. If you don't manage your cash flow, you won't survive long enough to see the next big opportunity.   The Secret to Standing Out in an Overcrowded Market. Organic food brands are everywhere. So how did Uncle Matt's Organic dominate? Matt attributes their success to: Brand authenticity- Their commitment to real organic farming builds trust. Consistent quality- Cutting corners kills brands. Consistency wins, and Customer education- They don't just sell juice; they educate consumers on health benefits.   Want to Grow Faster? Master These Profit First Principles. Matt credits financial discipline as the key to staying profitable.   About Matt McLean: Matt McLean is a pioneer in the organic food industry, an entrepreneur, and an advocate for sustainable farming. A 7th-generation Floridian, his citrus-growing heritage inspired him to launch Uncle Matt's Organic in 1999—before the USDA even had an organic certification.   Today, Uncle Matt's Organic is the #1 selling organic orange juice brand in America, with products available in over 20,000 stores nationwide. Matt is passionate about organic farming, sustainability, and helping other entrepreneurs navigate the challenges of growing a business profitably.   Conclusion: Matt McLean's journey is a masterclass in resilience, smart growth, and financial discipline.

In this week's episode of Visual Intonation, we dive into the world of Christopher Emanuel Smith, a filmmaker whose journey from Florida to the bright lights of New York City is as compelling as the stories he tells. A former Floridian with a knack for avoiding "Florida Man" infamy, Christopher swapped gators for a camera and pursued an MFA from NYU Tisch. With a career that blends screenwriting, directing, and videography, he has earned his place in the industry, crafting visuals that captivate and stories that resonate. His current gig as a Senior Director at Condé Nast Entertainment has only sharpened his unique cinematic voice, a voice that has already captured the attention of major publications like Vanity Fair and GQ.  But Christopher isn't just a director; he's a storyteller at heart. His goal? To create coming-of-age narratives that seamlessly weave together comedy and drama, stories that capture the awkwardness, beauty, and struggle of growing up. From his work on music videos and documentaries to his upcoming episodic series, Christopher's ability to blend humor with heartfelt moments places him in a class of his own. The silent storytelling technique he mastered with a 16mm Bolex camera continues to inform his work today, ensuring that every frame he shoots is packed with meaning.  We also explore Christopher's ideal projects—shows like 'Atlanta' and 'Dave', which mix razor-sharp wit with emotional depth, and action-comedy films like 'Tropic Thunder', where humor and adventure collide. His blend of sharp social commentary and visual storytelling makes him a standout in an industry often overcrowded with cookie-cutter projects. Whether it's through the lens of a camera or the page of a script, Christopher remains steadfast in his mission to tell stories that matter, stories that go beyond the bizarre encounters of a life lived in Florida.  Don't miss this episode of Visual Intonation, where we talk about Christopher's experiences, creative processes, and his exciting future projects. We'll also discuss his latest short film, 'Male Pattern Boredness', which follows a self-sabotaging musician on a hilariously rocky path toward self-discovery. Tune in to hear how one filmmaker is pushing boundaries and creating headlines that don't involve any alligators. Christopher Emanuel Smith's Website: https://www.culturewax.com/Christopher Emanuel Smith's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/c.emanuelsmith/?hl=enChristopher Emanuel Smith's Coverfly: https://writers.coverfly.com/profile/writer-541ab3bff-195734Support the showVisual Intonation Website: https://www.visualintonations.com/Visual Intonation Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/visualintonation/Vante Gregory's Website: vantegregory.comVante Gregory's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/directedbyvante/ To support me on Patreon (thank you): patreon.com/visualintonations Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@visualintonation Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@directedbyvante

For Floridians, stepping up in critical, big waves is expected given the groundwork laid by Cory Lopez, among others. The hard yard gains came from Pete Lopez white-knuckling to Sebastian every weekend from the west coast of Florida, punching through orange grove shore pound and six-hour round-trip runs. Big or small, kegging or not, Cory defined grit and guts along side Andy Irons, battling Kelly and others in a critical time of professional surfing.

We first met Dave at SXSW last March and immediately connected over his sharp mind and kind heart. This guy is not just a brilliant tech genius (he went to MIT at 14!), but also an incredible storyteller and thoughtful friend.   During our time in Orlando (which aligned with) Trump's inauguration, we became fascinated with the political landscape in the U.S., and who better to discuss it with than Dave? He shares his perspectives on the current political climate, what it's really like living in the U.S. right now, and how his journey from coding on his junior high school's first computer to becoming a leading tech expert shaped his view of the world.   We dive into topics like: How Dave's human-centric values guide his daily interactions The importance of belonging and community in today's world His experience growing up as a young tech prodigy The state of American politics and what it's like to navigate it as someone deeply embedded in the tech world   This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about the intersection of politics, tech, and human connection.

Running for office is a fool's errand if you think you can win and radically change the system from within. But an election campaign can serve other purposes for political organizers. A campaign provides a platform, a megaphone... media attention. The process of campaigning puts you in touch with people in the community. As Steve puts it, an election allows you to “build coalitions and radicalize people.” Jen Perelman's need to run against Debbie Wasserman Schultz was clear: “I knew that we weren't going to win, but we made significant strides in what my bigger mission is. At the end of the day, I just was not going to sit there and let her represent Jewish people and not stand up for Palestine.” Steve has been on Jen's show, JENerational Change, a number of times, where he has successfully convinced her of the validity and value of MMT. In this interview we get her take-aways from her most recent campaign. She and Steve talk about the popularity of programs that would provide jobs and healthcare. Election results represent the needs of capital, not the public. The conversation also touches on the moral implications of violence and how societal structures perpetuate violence against marginalized groups. Jen Perelman is host of the podcast and YouTube show, JENerational Change. She is a native Floridian and has run against Debbie Wasserman Schultz twice. So far, she has not won in the traditional sense. On Jen's Linkedin profile, she explains: “From my earliest days of practicing law, I've fought for those who can't fight for themselves. I've helped the poor & indigent receive proper counsel and helped young women receive a judicial bypass for an onerous process for their reproductive rights.” @JenforFL25 on X

Join us for a conversation covering her family heritage, her work on the podcast, and much more!

Our oldest son is 18. We have another son (16) and a daughter (14). The oldest gets colds more often and more seriously than the other two. He seems to have sinus congestion that's nearly constant, needing to blow his nose in the morning and throughout the day. Sometimes a cough as well. He had an undescended testicle at birth and had surgery at age one. Could this contribute to his issues? He had herpetc whitlow and a secondary infection as a toddler and began getting cold sores on his lips a couple times per year since. Does this just set him up to have a weaker immune system than his siblings? His mother also gets cold sores but not always one per year. He eats a pretty typical teenage diet as do the other two, meaning too much sugar and snacks. Are there any foods in particular that may be more likely to contribute? He loves milk and drinks quite a bit. My wife looks in her Holistic Guide to Wellness book which confirms our suspicion to cut out most of that stuff and see the result, but he is a teen who knows it all, so of course he seems uninterested. Being mostly carnivor-ish ourselves it's frustrating. I'm hoping for some ideas or support from someone who isn't his parent to help him understand. Thanks again and keep up the good work! Craig   Peptide Therapy Jordan writes:  Good morning I have been a long term listener of your show. And chocolate salt is my favorite flavor. I am 45 and most likely dealing with hormone issues with the lack of progesterone.   I typically am carnivore with out much dairy.  I exercise at least 5 to 6 days per week.  Variety of crossfit , biking, strength training, hyrox.  However, I am a runner or at least that's what I envision doing.  I have had a long issue with knee and IT band.  On you last show you had mentioned peptide use.  I don't live far from bozeman just down the way in wyoming.  Where do you recommend getting your peptides from I am taking an oral pbc 157 but I am wanting to get the Nest product I can to see if it will help.  Also, I am interested in injections.  Anyways thank you both for all you do, I always look forward to new episodes! -Jordan Next Viral Wave Doug writes: Robb: I am a huge fan. In August, 2021 I got the COVID. My 18 yo son brought it home from his job. I spent a week feeling run down and achey, but still worked and trained normally. At the start of week two, I decided to stay home and try to rest. By the end of week two I was delirious with fever, could not stop coughing, O2 saturation levels were low (I was using a home finger monitor) and I feared death. The ambulance was summoned and I was admitted to the hospital where they treated my symptoms with standard modalities including anti-inflammatories, antibiotics, anti virals, oxygen nasal canula, etc. I did receive Remdesivir. I almost immediately began to feel better and 6 days later was discharged in an emaciated and weakened state with an Rx for home oxygen. My self directed home recovery regimen consisted of breathing exercises with an incentive spirometer, walking, sitting in sun and getting back to lifting as quickly as possible. Even still, I used supplemental oxygen for another 4 weeks until I couldn't deal with the nosebleeds any longer and quit it cold turkey. I was at that time a 51, highly active, well muscled, 15% bodyfat, Floridian with high levels of Vit.D and natural sun exposure, whole food eater, lower carb but not keto, meat/egg heavy diet, non-drinker, non smoker. Lifelong Barbell training for max strength in the big three, plus walks outside for cardio. No medications, no pre-existing conditions. Nurses told me they were shocked I was there with the 'Rona, given my obvious state of vigorous good health. Here we are, 5 years post Corona-19: do we know any damn thing about this disease and why some people got it bad and some people did not? My wife (51) sons (18, 16) and daughter (8) were also sick when I was, but bounced back quickly without issue. Why did I - who was/am 180 degrees from the fat/sick/diseased/aged phenotype - get hit by this so hard? I have excellent lungs and lung capacity, which makes me wonder if I have lung tissue that is more soft, tender, open, porous, etc. that allows for better gas exchange/utilization but, which pre-disposes me to infections like this? I don't know - I am reaching. As we face other pandemics - and they keep 'em coming given how successful C19 was in making political hay - how do I distinguish between hype and reality? Clearly, we can no longer count on our public health officials for a sane, sober and reasonable response and risk assessment. "Science? I am the Science!!!" I am concerned about the next viral wave and my personal health, because I see no reason for why I was vulnerable, but I was. Very. What the hell happened? I have zero regrets about not-having taken the mRNA shots, but I do trust and believe in the value/utility of real vaccines and modern medicine generally, despite the recent C19 tomfoolery. I do feel like I received excellent care when I was hospitalized in 2021 and am grateful for the care I received. I just don't want to ever have to receive it again. Help me, Robb Wolf.
