In 1986, Gene Baur co-founded Farm Sanctuary with a simple theory: show people how factory farming works, and they will stop eating animals. Forty years later, per capita meat consumption in America has risen from 196 pounds to 232 pounds per person, and the number of farmed animals entering U.S. slaughterhouses has doubled from roughly 5 billion to 10 billion. In this episode of Business For Good, Paul Shapiro sits down with his longtime colleague and friend to ask the hard question: what actually moves the needle for farmed animals? Gene traces the arc from early investigations and rescues through the wave of statewide ballot initiatives banning battery cages, gestation crates, and veal crates, and explains why he now believes systemic and institutional change matters more than individual persuasion. The conversation covers why awareness campaigns alone have not reduced meat demand, how institutional reforms like default-veg programs and livestock taxes could reshape consumption patterns, and why Gene believes farm sanctuaries can evolve into self-sustaining hospitality operations that model an alternative food system. Things You Will Learn: Why 40 years of awareness campaigns have not reduced meat consumption, and what Gene Baur thinks will actually work. How institutional reforms like default-veg programs and livestock taxes could reduce meat demand without relying on individual persuasion. Why Gene believes farm sanctuaries can become self-sustaining hospitality operations that model an alternative food system. How historical patterns of technological displacement, from whale oil to horse transport, may predict the future of animal agriculture. Why Gene thinks the vegan movement's perfectionism has undermined its own goals. Tools & Frameworks Covered: Red Campaigns vs. Green Campaigns: A framework for understanding two types of advocacy. Red campaigns mobilize people through opposition to cruelty, like banning gestation crates. Green campaigns motivate through positive experiences, like community gardens, plant-based hospitality, and personal wellness. Institutional Choice Architecture: Changing default options in hospitals, schools, and public programs so that plant-based meals are the first option presented, reducing meat consumption without requiring individual behavior change. Sanctuary-as-Hospitality Model: Reimagining farm sanctuaries as revenue-generating operations that combine animal care, plant-based food production, visitor experiences, and education, enabling replication without depending solely on philanthropy. #BusinessForGood #FutureOfFood #AlternativeProtein #SustainableBusiness
On May 3, 1887, an earthquake struck near the U.S.-Mexico border. Forty-three people died in Bavispe, Mexico; sixty miles north in Arizona, buildings swayed and a few collapsed, but no one was killed. Today, every person in southern Arizona lives with the underground aftermath of this earthquake: a drained aquifer. The estimated 7.4 magnitude earthquake created a sixty-two-mile rupture, the longest known surface rupture by a normal fault. The Quake That Drained the Desert (University of Nebraska Press, 2026) by Mary Elizabeth Reynolds tells the story of the men who investigated the earthquake: a doctor and photographer from Tombstone and an engineer from Mexico. Reynolds retells the terror of the survivors while exploring the ways the earthquake continues to shape water use and legacies in the greater Southwest. In this rigorous and gripping narrative, Reynolds unearths the aftermath of the quake, showing how it dramatically altered aquifers in southern Arizona and changed rivers that ensured the prosperity of two Mormon communities in southern Arizona and Mexico. With an eye to the present, this book asks us to consider how this underexamined quake marked the beginning of the water crisis in the region today, compacted by a century of groundwater pumping for agriculture, mining, and urban uses. As local governments and nonprofit organizations on both sides of the border now work to restore streams for wildlife habitat and flood control, they also hope to preserve water supplies for future generations. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Forty-seven sailors were dead. The Navy had an answer that wasn't an accident but pointed to one dead man.In 1989, the USS Iowa suffered a catastrophic turret explosion that killed everyone inside. Investigators soon focused on Clayton Hartwig, his life insurance policy, and rumors about his relationship with another sailor. As the case unfolded, an LGBTQ+ true crime story emerged alongside questions about military culture, homophobia, and whether a dead sailor had been turned into a convenient scapegoat. But independent investigators would later challenge key parts of the Navy's case, raising a haunting question: was this a crime, an accident, or an investigative failure?Hosted by Jordi and Brad, Beers With Queers explores true crime with a queer perspective, uncovering the darkest corners of LGBTQ+ history. Press play, grab a drink, and join us for one of the Navy's most controversial mysteries. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Then how to build a forecast honest enough to include the projects that will quietly slip into next year, because every miserable January begins in an October where somebody did not want to look.Then the practical part: the four decisions still inside your control before Christmas, each of which takes about an afternoon. Plus why a December discount does not cost you December, it costs you the following spring, and how to close a revenue gap on speed rather than on price.Your year is not decided in January.

A new survey of corn and soybean farmers finds financial pressure remains high despite recent improvements in commodity prices. The National Corn Growers Association and American Soybean Association report nearly two-thirds of growers are moderately or very concerned about the farm economy. Forty-six percent say they are more concerned about their farm financial situation than they were a year ago. NAFB News ServiceSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

My guest: Danny Meyer is the founder of Union Square Hospitality Group and one of the most influential restaurateurs of his generation. He built New York landmarks like Union Square Cafe and Gramercy Tavern, and Shake Shack... He's the author of the classic Setting the Table and the new What Could Possibly Go Right? Key Learnings "Business, like life, is all about how you make people feel. It's that simple and it's that hard." "Optimists and pessimists die the same way. They just live differently." Shimon Peres. Danny prefers to live as an optimist. Most people respond to hope. A few will come out of a dark closet hopping on a pogo stick and a few will walk on the shady side no matter what. Most people start the day intending to make it better than yesterday, and they'll follow someone who shows them how that could happen. A growing business needs funding and leadership. It also needs soil. Like a plant needs sun and water and still needs something to grow in. The soil is the culture, and it determines whether anything you plant actually grows. Be explicit about which behaviors you celebrate and which you won't tolerate. Then be relentlessly consistent about both. That's how culture survives you not being in the room. Everyone is watching who gets hired, promoted, and paid. Every time you compromise on either the skills or the character, you send a message that you didn't mean any of the words. Probably unwittingly, but you send it. Curiosity is the behavior Danny celebrates most. If you want a team that treats every day as a chance to be better than yesterday, someone has to actually wonder what could be done differently. Entrepreneurs are upsighted. Danny's word. They only see what's up, only see what could possibly go right, and they look at existing problems that would make the world better if solved. A bad salesperson answers questions you never asked. Danny remembers a shoe store that hauled out everything from the back room regardless of what he wanted. The only two questions that mattered were does it fit and do I like it. A great one gets into your shoes and asks what you'd want. Sometimes they help you get to the question you actually have. There's no job that doesn't benefit from good sales skills, and good writing skills. Entrepreneurial athleticism is the trait Danny looks for in every leader. Talent gets you in the door. Athleticism is dedicating yourself to train plus the mental and emotional mettle to find a way to win. Day one mentality. The day a restaurant opens, nothing is scratched, every door works, nothing is smudged, and you assume everyone might be a critic. Day one of year 10 should be better than the original, because you have ten years of learning. Without that, it only goes backwards. The hiring formula is 49 and 51. Forty-nine percent is how well he thinks you can do the job, which is mostly technical and different for every role. Fifty-one percent is who you are. That 51 percent is Hospitality Quotient. The composite of optimistic warmth, curious intelligence, determined work ethic, empathy, self-awareness, and integrity. Someone with a high HQ is happier themselves when they make someone else feel better. "Cooking a great piece of fish only gets you to the 49-yard line." You need all 100, and it isn't just the servers who need it. It's everybody. A high HQ is a liability in an interview. Danny sometimes has to park his own at the door, because his job isn't to make the candidate feel good. It's to assess how they'll make the staff and the guests feel. Never ask if someone is self-aware. They'll say yes. Ask instead: "What's the greatest misperception other people have about you?" You can't answer it without self-awareness, because you have to know both what you are and what you're projecting. When hiring a chef, Danny already knows they can cook. What he's testing is the feedback loop. Will they get defensive? Grateful? He may well be wrong in the feedback, and he still wants to know early what it's going to be like to lead this person. Caitlin took a reservation and saved a woman's life. She was getting a phone number when the caller's voice started halting. Caitlin sensed something was wrong, asked permission to call 911, and got the address. It was a hemorrhagic stroke. The woman survived and had to relearn how to speak. Caitlin was so moved that she went back to school to become a speech therapist for people with aphasia. When the woman died recently, she left Caitlin the money to pay for it. A good employee books the table accurately. A great one changes someone's night, or their life. Danny's point about Caitlin: nobody trained her for that. The culture did. Mind share is what marketing earns. Heart share is what hospitality earns. Mind share means people know you exist and think of you first. Heart share means they love you and tell everyone they know. The golden rule of hospitality is not the golden rule. Do unto others as you believe they would want done unto them. Service is one size fits all. Hospitality is one size fits one. The salmon that changed everything. Soon after Gramercy Tavern opened, a Union Square Cafe regular told Danny what happened was inexcusable. Her salmon came well done when she'd ordered it rare. Danny's first reaction was that an honest kitchen mistake didn't seem so bad. The mistake wasn't the problem. The response was. At Union Square Cafe, she said, the server would have noticed, quietly removed it, brought soup so her guests could keep eating, recooked it properly, and probably taken it off the bill. At Gramercy, nobody came over while she picked at it. A manager eventually took the plate, handed her a coat check, told her the rest would be waiting at the door, and left it on the bill. "If you don't have language, you cannot teach." For ten years Danny led one restaurant by embodying the behavior he wanted. With two, wherever he was, he wasn't at the other one. It was the first time he had to lead by using his words instead of just embodying what he wanted to see. Enlightened hospitality, in this order: Each other first. How the team treats each other, with generosity and charitable assumption. Then the guests. Then the community and the suppliers. Then the investors, who end up with more because of everything above. Break it anywhere, starting with how people care for each other, and it doesn't work. Lead with generosity. You're in business for tomorrow dollars, not today dollars. His staff charged that woman for the salmon because they were afraid she was working an angle. Danny's response: where is the charitable assumption that maybe we just overcooked it? Nice and kind are different. Nice isn't a bad thing, but sometimes nice is how you avoid addressing a problem. Kind means I'm on your side, which sometimes means holding up the mirror. If someone isn't measuring up and you let it go, that isn't kind and it isn't even nice. Kindness takes the courage to give honest feedback without demoralizing the person. Laying people off during the pandemic wasn't nice. Doing it one at a time was kind. Several hundred people, and nobody got laid off by tweet or mass email. Everyone was spoken to by their own boss. Shake Shack started because Danny asked what could possibly go right. An artist needed someone to run a hot dog cart under an installation in Madison Square Park. His team said they were too busy running four restaurants. Danny's argument was that the park was the front yard of two of them, and you take care of your front yard. They staffed it with their coat checkers and served Chicago-style on purpose. The coat checkers had no work until the weather turned cold, so this gave them a summer job. Chicago-style has eight toppings, which let them find out whether four coat checkers could remember how every regular liked it. The point was proving hospitality isn't only for fancy restaurants. They lost money two years running, and the community started calling it "our hot dog cart." Danny heard the word "our" and knew people felt shared ownership. Then he gave away the building. He built a $750,000 kiosk and donated it to the park, so the park owns the building and his company owns the business. A percentage of every sale goes back into keeping the park beautiful and safe. That first Shake Shack still pays just under a million dollars a year in rent to the park. Danny's champagne moment a year from now: that the book actually meant something to people. He wrote it to teach himself, because that's how he learns. If the lessons he picked up scraping his knees turn out to be useful to someone else, it was worth it. Reflection Questions Which behaviors does your team know for certain you celebrate, and which do they know you won't tolerate? If you asked five of them, would you get the same five answers? Look at your last promotion. Did that person clear the bar on both the 49 and the 51? What did everyone else learn from watching it? Where are you being nice right now when the situation calls for you to hold up the mirror?

GREEN BAY GOT RUN OVER [Verse 1] Thursday night in Lambeau, Lights were shining bright, Packers came in feeling good, Thought we had a fight. One and one, the home opener, Falcons oh-and-two, Then Bijan hit the gas pedal, And there wasn't much we could do. Penix threw one to McKinney, Yeah, we thought we'd set the tone, Love went deep to Golden, Forty-five and gone! Christian Watson found the end zone, Lambeau started to roar, But Atlanta found a different gear, And started pounding the floor. [Chorus] Oh Green Bay, what happened tonight? We came out swinging, then we lost the fight. Thirty-five to fourteen, Man, that one ain't right, The Falcons came to Lambeau And owned Thursday night. Oh Green Bay, we're gonna be alright, But somebody better tackle Bijan tonight. He ran through the defense, He ran through the line, And when that final whistle blew, It was Falcons time. [Verse 2] Nineteen yards here, Fifty yards there, Bijan Robinson running Like nobody was there. The Packers knew the handoff, They knew where he would go, But somehow every single time, He found another hole. Penix came back from the injury, First start of the year, And by the second quarter, You could feel the fear. Not fear like we're doomed forever, Not panic, not the end, But "Hey, somebody tell the defense This guy has a friend." And that friend was Bijan, Running wild all night, While Green Bay's offense Couldn't get right. [Chorus] Oh Green Bay, what happened tonight? We came out swinging, then we lost the fight. Thirty-five to fourteen, Man, that one ain't right, The Falcons came to Lambeau And owned Thursday night. Oh Green Bay, we're gonna be alright, But somebody better tackle Bijan tonight. He ran through the defense, He ran through the line, And when that final whistle blew, It was Falcons time. [Bridge] Seventeen yards rushing... Seventeen. That's not a typo. Seventeen yards! You could almost get more than that Walking from the parking lot To the stadium. And that's the part that hurts. Because you can lose a shootout, You can lose by a play, You can lose on Sunday afternoon And say, "We'll be okay." But when a team comes into Lambeau, Runs it down your throat, Controls the clock, Controls the game, And makes your offense choke... You don't need another hot take. You need a football. You need a blocking scheme. And apparently... You need somebody to tackle Bijan Robinson. [Verse 3] Jordan Love had moments, Golden made the play, Watson kept the touchdown streak Alive along the way. But the offense couldn't answer When Atlanta took control, And every Green Bay drive Felt like pulling teeth from a hole. The Falcons kept on running, The Packers couldn't stop, Bijan kept on moving All the way to the top. And somewhere in Wisconsin A Packers fan yelled, "WHY?!" While somebody else on Twitter said, "FIRE EVERYBODY!" No. Everybody breathe. It's one game. But yeah... It was a really bad one. [Chorus] Oh Green Bay, what happened tonight? We came out swinging, then we lost the fight. Thirty-five to fourteen, Man, that one ain't right, The Falcons came to Lambeau And owned Thursday night. Oh Green Bay, we're gonna be alright, But somebody better tackle Bijan tonight. He ran through the defense, He ran through the line, And when that final whistle blew, It was Falcons time. [Verse 4] This isn't time for panic, But it's time to take a look. Because football's more than highlights, And football's more than books. You gotta win the trenches, You gotta run the ball, You gotta stay on schedule, You gotta answer when they call. Atlanta came in hungry, They played like they had none, And Green Bay looked surprised When the Falcons started running. So take this loss to heart, boys, Put it on the wall, Because the season isn't over, But tonight was a fall. Get back in the building, Get back to work, Figure out what happened, And don't let it lurk. [Final Chorus] Oh Green Bay, what happened tonight? We came out swinging, then we lost the fight. Thirty-five to fourteen, Man, that one ain't right, The Falcons came to Lambeau And owned Thursday night. But Green Bay, don't lose your mind, There's a whole lot of football left behind. Take the loss, learn the lesson, Get back in the fight, Because one bad Thursday Doesn't end your life. So raise up that green and gold, Even after a night like this, Packers fans don't disappear Because of one ugly miss. We'll be back next week, And we'll see what we've got. But somebody... PLEASE... TACKLE... BIJAN ROBINSON. GO PACK GO.

So has his whole family. Elliot Chisholm hiked the Appalachian Trail, the Pacific Crest Trail, and the Continental Divide Trail with his mom and three brothers — the full Triple Crown — before most people his age have a driver's license. He's 18, and as far as we can tell, the youngest entrant in this year's Mammoth 200. He's also still looking for his first 200-mile finish.Elliot joins us to talk about how the family stumbled into this sport in 2023, watching Cocodona from afar with a friend and realizing that a race combining running and fast hiking was exactly what they'd already been doing across the country.He's honest about both Cocodona attempts: going into 2025 sick at sixteen, throwing up everything he ate, and dropping somewhere past Crown King. Then coming back in 2026, getting his sodium badly wrong, developing rhabdo, and having his body shut down at mile 150 even as his mind wanted to keep going. Forty-something miles to a hundred and fifty in a single year — and a lot learned about nutrition and problem-solving along the way.Mammoth is different: he's blazing the trail for his family this time, nobody's run it before him. He talks about training for runnable terrain instead of the jagged White Mountains he trains on in New Hampshire, heading to altitude from 400 feet of elevation, and why he plans to start the race in road shoes.Plus: his virtual Mammoth 200 finish of 73 hours currently sits third on our leaderboard, his brother Asher helped him make decisions along the way, and he's pre-committed to the Mammoth Basketball League.In this episode:The Triple Crown, and finding ultrarunning by accidentTwo Cocodona DNFs, a stomach bug and a case of rhabdoWhy Mammoth, and blazing a trail ahead of his family for onceTraining for runnable terrain in the White MountainsSea-level kid heading to altitudeThird place on the game leaderboardA prediction: questioning every decision that led him to the start line — and looking forward to itMammoth 200 kicks off Friday, October 2nd in Mammoth Lakes, California.

Be Patient: Give Me This MountainIn a world filled with confusion, discouragement, and constant distractions, believers are called to remain steadfast. Drawing from James 5 and the story of Caleb in Joshua 14, this message challenges Christians to strengthen their hearts, persevere through disappointment, and keep trusting God.At 85 years old, Caleb could still boldly declare, “Give me this mountain.” Forty years of waiting, the failures of others, and even giants in the land could not destroy his faith. His example reminds us not to become bitter, defeated, or discouraged.Be patient. Persevere. Strengthen your heart. The coming of the Lord draws near.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

Forty years into a nicotine habit, I tried to quit cold turkey, and it nearly broke me.Alyson was on the beach communing with grasshoppers and golden orb weavers while I was under the covers in a dark hole, trying to white-knuckle my way off nicotine, mambé, and Ambil after finishing my book.Same place, drastically different trips.We get into what happens when a habit doesn't wreck your life but still runs it, and why "biohacker-friendly" substances can be harder to walk away from than anyone tells you.

EPISODE SUMMARY: Suzyn Waldman shares her remarkable journey from Broadway to becoming a trailblazing sports broadcaster, breaking barriers for women in the industry. She recounts stories from decades of calling Yankees games, highlighting how perseverance and authenticity helped her succeed in an evolving sports media landscape. Waldman will be among those honored as Giants of Broadcasting by the Library of American Broadcasting Foundation at the 2026 Giants of Broadcasting & Electronic Arts luncheon and awards ceremony. The event will be held on Tuesday, November 17th at Gotham Hall in New York City. On this episode of Chachi Loves Everybody, Chachi talks to Suzyn Waldman about: Her early life in Boston and her love for baseball and Broadway How her musical theater background helped her as a broadcaster, and why she changed careers Challenges she faced as a woman in sports broadcasting in the 1980s and 1990s The groundbreaking moment she became the first woman to call a World Series game Her partnership with John Sterling and their impact on Yankees broadcasting Her relationship with Yankees legends George Steinbrenner and Yogi Berra Surviving breast cancer and how the experience shaped her life and career The most memorable moments covering championships, crises, and personal milestones The evolution of sports media and her advice for young women entering the industry And More! ABOUT THIS EPISODE'S GUEST: Award-winning broadcaster Suzyn Waldman this year begins her 40th year either covering or broadcasting the New York Yankees, and her 22nd season as the Yankees’ radio color commentator. Inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame in 2022, Waldman has spent the last four decades overcoming the obstacles that go along with being a female sports broadcaster, and has been an inspiration and mentor to two generations of girls and women wanting to enter the sports arena. Forty years ago, in 1987, Waldman became the first voice heard on New York’s WFAN-AM — the first all-sports station in the country — creating the job of the radio beat reporter, covering the Yankees and New York Knicks. Her news-breaking reports, exclusive interviews and controversial opinions won her countless journalism awards, including the International Radio Award for Live and Emotional Reporting from the upper deck in Candlestick Park during the San Francisco earthquake. The word “first” precedes the name Suzyn Waldman in every facet of her television and radio career. She was the first woman to work on a nationally televised baseball broadcast (for the Baseball Network) and the first to provide TV play-by-play for a Major League team, broadcasting New York Yankees games for WPIX, MSG Network and WNYW in the mid ‘90s. She is the first woman to host an NBA pre- and post-game show, provided play-by-play for the WNBA on Lifetime TV, and was an analyst for St. John’s basketball and the NIT for MSG and WFAN. She was the first woman to broadcast a World Series, and her scorecard and microphone are among other artifacts of her career in the “Women In Baseball” exhibit at Cooperstown. She has been honored by countless organizations, including the Thurman Munson Foundation, the March of Dimes, the Jimmy Fund of Boston, the Gracie Awards, American Women in Radio and TV, the US Federal Women’s Foundation, and was the first recipient of the Women’s Global Health award from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine at the United Nations for her work speaking with and inspiring fellow breast cancer survivors. She has been named one of the “100 Most Influential Women in Radio” 12 straight years by Radio Ink Magazine, and in 2016, was inducted, with her former longtime radio partner, John Sterling, into the New York State Broadcasters Hall of Fame. On January 25, 2025, at the 100th New York Baseball Writers’ Dinner, Waldman and Sterling received one of baseball’s highest honors, the William J. Slocum/Jack Lang Award for “Long & Meritorious Service.” A native Bostonian with a B.S. in economics and an honorary doctorate of Journalism from Boston’s prestigious Simmons University, Waldman spent 15 years on the Broadway musical stage and performed in countless night clubs around the world. She is proudest of two things in her long and varied career: her two years in theater starring opposite the late Richard Kiley in Man of La Mancha, and her bringing together George Steinbrenner and Yogi Berra after 14 years of not speaking. She lives in Westchester County with her German Shepard, Margo. ABOUT THE PODCAST: Chachi Loves Everybody is brought to you by Benztown and hosted by the President of Benztown, Dave “Chachi” Denes.

Are you doing what you love, or are you simply doing what you've always done? It sounds like a simple question. But after decades in practice, the answer can say a lot about the chiropractor you're becoming. In this episode of the Schofield Chiropractic Training Podcast, SCT Coaches Dr. Fred Schofield and Dr. FJ Schofield dig into what it means to build a career in chiropractic that you can genuinely enjoy, sustain, and continue mastering for decades. For Dr. Fred, after 45 years in chiropractic, the answer is still clear: he loves what he does. But loving chiropractic doesn't mean avoiding the work. It means finding the work worth doing. Dr. Fred and Dr. FJ discuss why the chiropractic adjustment remains the foundation of practice, why technique mastery requires far more than attending a seminar, and why chiropractors must continually apply, refine, experiment, and ultimately develop their own process. Because you don't become a master by simply learning more. You become a master by doing the work, applying what you learn, and continuing to evolve. The conversation also moves beyond technique into the practice itself: identifying the patients you want to serve, creating value, differentiating yourself in your community, building effective chiropractic marketing systems, and developing a profitable practice that gives you the freedom to protect your energy and your team. As Dr. FJ explains, the goal isn't to eliminate work from your life. It's to discover what kind of work is interesting enough that you're willing to keep doing it every day. Then learn how to help people with it. Learn how to communicate its value. Build systems around it. Take care of your own health. And do it for the next 30, 40, or 50 years. That's how you build more than a successful chiropractic office. You build a career and a life you actually want to live. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why mastering the chiropractic adjustment remains fundamental to becoming an exceptional chiropractor Why attending seminars isn't enough—you have to apply, practice, refine, and develop your own process How your approach to chiropractic can evolve dramatically throughout your career Why finding work that genuinely interests you may be more useful than chasing the idea of "passion" How to turn what you enjoy into something that helps people and provides real value Why chiropractic marketing and consistent new-patient growth create greater freedom within your practice The importance of being intentional about who you want to serve Why protecting your team's energy sometimes requires setting professional boundaries with patients How taking care of your own body helps create a career you can sustain for decades Why doing work you love doesn't mean avoiding hard work—it means finding work worth doing "You can't just go to the seminar. You've got to go apply it, and then you've got to learn, and then you hone." — Dr. FJ Schofield "Do something that's interesting to you every single day." — Dr. FJ Schofield "I love what I do. Forty-five years." — Dr. Fred Schofield Weekly Action Challenge: Find the Work Worth Doing This week, ask yourself one question: What part of chiropractic still genuinely interests me? Maybe it's adjusting. Technique. Patient communication. Philosophy. Building your team. Marketing. Creating an incredible patient experience. Pick one area that makes you want to become better. Then do something with it. Study it. Practice it. Attend a training. Try something new in your office. Take something you've already learned and actually apply it. Don't worry about mastering everything at once. Find the work that matters to you, and keep getting better at it. Because a great chiropractic career isn't built by reaching a point where the work stops. It's built by creating work you still want to do. Keep training & Keep charging! MoChihChu!

My first coaching session almost made me quit. I was sitting in my laundry room on a landline doing a practice session as part of my coaching certification. Forty-five minutes in, the woman just goes off on me. "Colin, you are pissing me off." I walked out and told my wife, "I don't know if this is for me." Now, over 17 years later, I've done over 4,500 hours of paid coaching at $3,800/hour. I keynoted at the American Institute of Hypnotherapy and Neurolinguistic Programming. And this week, I've got 55+ people flying in from around the world to spend three days with me. In this episode of The Expert Edge, I break down the exact three skills that transformed my coaching from "I'm pissing people off" to commanding premium rates and creating real breakthroughs with high-level clients. This isn't about being nice. It's about being transformational. What you'll learn: → Master powerful questions - Why asking the right questions creates breakthroughs (not giving advice first) → Use reframes to shift perspective - Stories, metaphors, and the feel-felt-found structure that changes how clients see their situation → Blend all three together - Questions + reframes + advice = transformational results → The difference between okay coaching and premium coaching → How to hold space for new possibility in your clients → Why awareness creates breakthroughs (not information) → Real questions that work with high-level clients → The metaphor approach (airplane in liftoff example) → How to give advice without being prescriptive Real insights from the episode: My first coaching disaster in the laundry room (and what it taught me) Why that experience was actually the best thing that happened to my coaching The mentor who saved my coaching career with one question How I went from free coaching to $125/hour to $3,800/hour Why questions create awareness and awareness creates breakthroughs "For what purpose are you choosing to be angry?" - The question that reframes everything "When did you create that belief?" - Getting people to take responsibility for their own beliefs "Who taught you that?" - Tracing beliefs back to the source The airplane metaphor - Why liftoff is supposed to be hard The feel-felt-found structure - How to pace, lead, and reframe in one move Why the best coaching is a blend of asking, showing, and telling How versatility and behavioral flexibility separates transformational coaches from transactional ones Premium Private Client Masterclass: I'm hosting a live masterclass on building premium private clients-everything from positioning and messaging to structuring your offers and attracting the right clients.

"Saint Cosmas came from Bulgaria where his devout parents provided him with a good education in Slavonic and Greek. They wanted him to marry but he was drawn by the love of Christ and, unknown to them, made his way to the Holy Mountain of Athos to become a monk at the Bulgarian monastery of Zographou. On the feast of the Annunciation at the Monastery of Vatopedi, he saw a woman among those serving in the Church and in the refectory, and he was grieved at first to observe this breach of the monastic rule, but overjoyed when he realized that it was the Mother of God who had appeared to him in this way. "He was clothed in the holy angelic Habit and, after some time, was ordained priest. One day, as he was praying before the icon of the Mother of God, asking her with tears how to achieve his salvation, he heard a voice saying, 'Let my servant withdraw to the desert outside the monastery.' He was obedient to the will of God and, with the blessing of his Abbot, lived in silence from then on. Some years later, he was found worthy of the grace of discernment of thoughts and of beholding things happening elsewhere, as well as of other spiritual gifts. In the course of many years, he was the spiritual helper of a great number of monks. At the end of his life, Christ appeared to him saying that he would shortly have a great trial to endure from the Devil. Indeed, the prince of demons made his appearance next day with a host of his servants bewailing and bemoaning their inability to annihilate their great enemy Cosmas, who had held them in check for so long and gained possession, by his virtue, of the throne in Heaven that had once been Lucifer's. Taking a heavy stick, the demon beat the Saint so violently that he left him half-dead. As God allowed, Saint Cosmas died in peace two days later, on 22 September 1323. When the fathers came from the monastery to bury him, the wild animals gathered round. They kept silent until the end of the service, but howled unusually loud as his body was covered with earth. Then having paid their respects, they made off into the wilderness. Forty days later, the monks came to take up the body of Saint Cosmas and translate it to the monastery, but it was no longer in the grave. Where it now is God alone knows." (Synaxarion)
"I'm about five years old and I'm so tired. I say, Abba, which is what I call my father, can you carry me? I'm so tired. And I remember him saying, Deanch, I can't carry you, but I'll carry you with my stories."— Dena SchustermanABOUT THIS EPISODEDena Schusterman was about five years old, walking a mile and a half to synagogue on Shabbat, too tired to go another step. She asked her father to carry her. He told her he couldn't — but he'd carry her with his stories, and by the time he finished she was at the synagogue door with no memory of the walk. Forty years later, sitting in a room with two thousand women while someone told one of her father's stories without using his name, she decided those stories needed to be reclaimed. What started as a plan to write her father's memoir became something else entirely, because you cannot write someone else's life. In this conversation, Dena and Mike talk about the oral tradition both of them grew up inside, what happens when a writer traces a coping mechanism back four generations and finds it still running in her own kitchen, why rejection never derailed her, and what it costs to look at the people who came before you with compassion instead of judgment.KEY TAKEAWAYS1. You cannot write somebody else's memoir. Dena set out to write her father's story and discovered fairly quickly that the form wouldn't allow it — a memoir has to be told from inside a life, and the only life she could write from inside of was her own. The book that resulted still holds her father's stories, but the person carrying them is her.2. Writing a memoir will crack you open, and you should expect that. Her husband warned her before she started that it would take her places she hadn't gone. She waved him off. It took her places she hadn't gone. Knowing the punchline of a family story turned out to be very different from asking her parents how they felt about what happened.3. Inherited coping mechanisms don't announce themselves. Dena's grandmother survived the Holocaust in part by trading food for slivers of soap to stay clean. Two generations later, Dena found herself raging at her kids about a messy house and realized she was running a script she'd never consciously received: a clean house is how you stay alive. Naming it was what let her stop.4. Bringing something into the light makes it smaller, not bigger. The energy spent keeping a difficult thing stuffed down is what generates the anxiety around it. Put it on the page and it turns out to be survivable — and, in Dena's experience, one sentence on paper pulls the next one out behind it.5. Start at the end and rewind. Dena's process is to know the ending first and then work backwards asking how she got there. The ending, she points out, is rarely the interesting part. The route is.6. A "smooth path" to publication can still include every rejection. She never found an agent. She got the rejections. She was ready to pay a hybrid publisher until a lawyer told her not to sign, which sent her to Mercer University Press — where her editor had been telling her to go for eight years. She kept a reminder in her pocket that The Queen's Gambit was rejected for thirty-two years, and treated every no as proof she was closer to a yes.7. Compassion for the people who came before you is out of fashion, and worth doing anyway. Dena's read on the moment is that we've gotten very good at being kind to ourselves and very quick to judge our parents and grandparents. Her hope for readers is that they look at their own inherited stories the way she learned to look at hers — not to excuse anything, but because every family story eventually becomes a choice about how you show up.GET THE BOOKStories Carry: We All Carry Them.

“Democracies don't die silently, sleepwalking. Democracies die by going through periods of pretty serious political violence.” — Robert Pape Forget all the long-term civil war scenarios of everyone from Kurt Andersen to Stephen Marche. Today's guest Robert Pape has spent the last thirty years at the University of Chicago studying political violence, and his warning is about the next six weeks rather than the next ten years. In his new book, Our Own Worst Enemies, Pape argues that tens of millions of Americans, on both left and right, now support political violence. When it comes to an American age of violent populism, his comparison is 1968 rather than 1861. What produced that era of assassinations, violent protest, and state violence, Pape argues, was rapid social change outpacing the political system. Back then, it was fueled by the gap between the Great Migration of African-Americans and the absence of political representation, and a military draft falling hardest on the unrepresented. And it only ended in the early Seventies, with the end of the draft in 1973 and the arrival of Black mayors and the Congressional Black Caucus. Today, rapid social change is once again outpacing the political and economic system. On the one hand, America is a country moving from white-majority to white-minority — with its non-Hispanic white population dropping from 76% in 1990 to 57% today. On the other, America is experiencing a dramatic economic transformation that has moved something like a tenth of American wealth from the bottom 90% to the top 1%. The details of Pape's observations are unsettling. Only one in ten of the 1,575 people prosecuted for the January 6 insurrection belonged to a militia, with 45% being doctors, lawyers, CEOs or government employees. While five to seven per cent of the George Floyd protests turned violent. But social media, he insists, is the gasoline, not the fire, of this crisis. So at least we can't blame the internet for everything. Pape does, however, offer a couple of glimmers of hope. Firstly, he reminds us that 70% of Americans still abhor political violence. Secondly, he notes that all gaps eventually close, and that we should expect American government to eventually address economic inequality. But that won't happen before the November 2026 midterms which, he warns, might be a return of the political violence of 1968. Five Takeaways • Democracies Don't Sleepwalk. Pape's opening correction: the danger isn't a civil war five or ten years out, it's the next few months. Democracies don't die silently — they die through periods of serious political violence, and America is in one now. He calls it the era of violent populism, and what makes it different from the familiar extremism of recent decades is that political violence has moved from the fringe to the mainstream: tens of millions of Americans on both sides of the aisle now support it. His image is a layer cake — bottom-up violence from the left in the George Floyd protests, bottom-up violence from the right on January 6, and violence by the state, with a whole chapter on ICE and the two protesters killed in Minneapolis. Conversations about this era usually seize on one layer as though it were the whole thing. And the state violence isn't a few rogue agents: tens of millions of Americans support the president using force against Democratic protesters.• The 1960s Rhyme. Not since the 1960s, Pape says, has political violence run this high — and that decade is the book's best evidence, because it both began and ended. The late sixties brought assassinations (King, Robert Kennedy), hundreds of Black riots across five years, anti-war violence and the Weather Underground's twenty bombings; Gallup surveys from the period, which Pape has collected, show millions supported it. Two social changes drove it: the Great Migration, the largest internal population movement in American history, which delivered Black populations to northern cities without political representation — by the mid-sixties Chicago had no Black mayor and two Black aldermen, the context for Malcolm X's “The Ballot or the Bullet” — and Vietnam, where the draft fell hardest on those same unrepresented Americans. And it ended when the gap closed: the draft was abolished in 1973, the Congressional Black Caucus formed, and Black mayors took office in Atlanta, Detroit and elsewhere.• Two Social Changes. The present era began about ten years ago, and rests on two shifts. First, demography: America is moving from a white-majority to a white-minority democracy. It was 76% non-Hispanic white in 1990 and is 57% today, and the tipping point was 2012, the first year most children born were not non-Hispanic white — which is Pape's answer to why this didn't erupt under Obama, along with an immigration policy he rates the best of any modern president: keep it going, keep it moderate, deport the worst of the worst. Second, wealth: since the late 1980s roughly a tenth of American wealth has moved from the bottom 90% to the top 1%, producing what he calls a negative-sum society in which even a household on $100,000 loses ground year by year. Put the two together and you get the poisonous cocktail. Andrew's challenge — what about the internet? — got a flat answer: social media is gasoline on a fire, not the fire. The average January 6 defendant was 42, not 22.• Not the Proud Boys. The book's most counterintuitive finding, drawn from research teams reading all 100,000 court documents behind the 1,575 January 6 prosecutions: only one in ten belonged to the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers or any militia — including one in ten of those who assaulted police. Who did storm the Capitol? Forty-five per cent were doctors, lawyers, CEOs, State Department employees and intelligence executives. Dentists, too, Andrew noted. And since Andrew told him the show's audience skews left, Pape supplied the other half of the ledger: five to seven per cent of the George Floyd protests turned violent — some six hundred protests across the top hundred cities, out of 28 million people — with looting and smash-and-grabs tracked separately; and the post-October 7 campus protests, which hit nearly a hundred universities and were, by his $300,000 survey of 5,000 undergraduates, about 75% from the left.• The 70%. Then the hopeful half. Against the substantial minorities who support violence stands the 70% of Americans who abhor it, and who have never been mobilized — which is why he wrote the book for the mainstream rather than for the academy. His mechanism is unglamorous: politicians respond to squeaky wheels, and right now the squeaky wheels are billionaire donors on both sides. His example of what the 70% might demand is a flat tax above $30,000 with no deductions at all — Warren Buffett would stop paying less than his cleaner. (Andrew raised his University of Chicago colleague Eric Zwick, on the show last week: tax the three million millionaires too, not just the billionaires. “He's exactly right.”) And the danger ahead is specific: the November midterms, six weeks away, with gas at $5 in Chicago after the Iran crisis, and...

Women currently control the majority of wealth in the United States, and their financial influence is growing. But perhaps the more important question isn't simply how much wealth women will steward. It's what they want that wealth to accomplish.Julie Wilson, President of Women Doing Well, joins the show today to share some new research, conducted in partnership with the Lake Institute on Faith & Giving, that offers an encouraging look at how Christian women are approaching generosity. The findings reveal women who are engaged, discerning, and increasingly intentional about aligning their financial decisions with their faith, values, relationships, and sense of purpose.When Generosity Becomes More Than a DutyJulie tells the story of Leanne Horton, a CPA and serial entrepreneur who had been a faithful and generous giver for years.Leanne approached generosity much as she approached business: carefully and methodically. She tracked her giving, studied what Scripture said about money, and genuinely wanted to steward her resources well.But after attending a Women Doing Well event, something shifted. Surrounded by women who spoke openly and joyfully about generosity, Leanne recognized that her meticulous approach had gradually become more legalistic than spiritually formative. Giving had become more about getting it right than responding to God's goodness.Her experience reflects an important theme in the research: faithful stewardship involves more than making the right financial decisions. Generosity can also express worship, gratitude, community, and purpose.Women Are Taking a Larger Role in Financial StewardshipWomen already wield significant financial influence, and that influence is expected to grow considerably in the decades ahead.According to the research shared by Women Doing Well, 95% of women will become the primary financial decision-maker for their families at some point in their lives. Women are also expected to receive a significant share of the wealth changing hands during the coming generational wealth transfer.That raises an important stewardship question: What will women seek to accomplish with the resources entrusted to them?The research suggests that many Christian women are already thinking deeply about that question. They aren't standing on the sidelines. They're participating, leading, discerning, and looking for ways to align their resources with their faith.Generosity Flourishes Through RelationshipsOne striking finding involved married couples. Seventy-two percent of married women surveyed said they make charitable giving decisions jointly with their spouse.That's encouraging, but sharing a bank account doesn't necessarily mean sharing a vision.Couples may support the same organizations without ever discussing what they ultimately hope their generosity will accomplish. Meaningful conversations about shared values, priorities, and passions can help generosity become something a couple pursues together rather than simply a collection of individual gifts.And community matters beyond marriage.Whether women are single, married, divorced, or widowed, relationships often play an important role in shaping generosity. Among the women surveyed, 98% said their values were important or very important to their giving, while 95% said the same about their faith.Conversations with family, friends, church leaders, mentors, and trusted advisors can offer valuable opportunities to discern how to steward resources faithfully.Proximity Can Shape GenerosityThe study also found that firsthand involvement often shapes generosity.Forty-three percent of women surveyed identified personal exposure to needs as a particularly powerful driver of their giving. The same percentage pointed to involvement with nonprofit organizations.That suggests ministries can invite people into something deeper than a financial transaction. Seeing needs firsthand, serving alongside an organization, or developing relationships with the people involved can help donors better understand the work their generosity supports.Scripture gives us pictures of this kind of proximity. Ruth remained close to Naomi in a season of profound vulnerability and need. In Acts 9, Dorcas saw the widows around her and responded practically, making clothing and serving those within her community.Generosity often becomes more tangible when needs stop being abstract.Purpose Isn't Just for Wealthy GiversSome people hear words like "purposeful giving" and assume they apply primarily to wealthy philanthropists with sophisticated charitable plans. But purposeful generosity isn't determined by the size of someone's bank account.Women Doing Well encourages women to think in terms of purpose, passion, and plan.Purpose asks who God has made you to be and how you can faithfully contribute. Passion considers what needs or opportunities you care deeply about. A plan then provides a practical way to steward your resources in light of both.Ephesians 2:10 reminds believers, "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them."Our purpose begins not with our possessions, but with our identity in Christ. From there, we can prayerfully consider how the time, talents, relationships, and financial resources God has entrusted to us might serve Him and others.An Opportunity for Faithful StewardshipAs more wealth comes under women's stewardship, the opportunity for generosity is significant. But the most encouraging finding may not be the amount of money involved.It's the intentionality behind it.Christian women are asking thoughtful questions about faith, values, relationships, and generosity. They're seeking community, engaging personally with needs, and considering what faithful stewardship can look like in their own lives.And those are questions worth asking for every steward.To learn more about Women Doing Well and its research on women, wealth, and faith, visit WomenDoingWell.org.

Israel has finally reached the edge of the land God promised to Abraham generations earlier.The spies return with evidence that the land is everything God promised. But they also report fortified cities and powerful inhabitants. Ten spies become convinced that Israel cannot overcome what lies ahead. Joshua and Caleb see the same obstacles, but their confidence comes from somewhere else: “The Lord is with us.”In Week 6 of The Story, John Gunter explores how fear changed Israel's view of both their circumstances and God's faithfulness. Instead of remembering the God who delivered them from Egypt, brought them through the sea, provided for them in the wilderness, and led them to the land, they focused on what they believed they could accomplish on their own.Their decision had consequences. Forty years later, a new generation stands ready to enter the land.Moses' message to them isn't that the road ahead will be easy. It's that they will not travel it alone:“Be strong and courageous. Do not fear...for it is the Lord your God who goes with you.”Fear itself does not mean we have no faith. The question is what we do when fear comes. Will we measure the situation only by what we believe we can handle, or will we remember the God who has been faithful and who goes before us?The obstacles may be real. But God is with us.Key Scriptures: Numbers 13:26-33; Numbers 14:1-11; Deuteronomy 8:2-5; Deuteronomy 31:6-8Series: The Story Week 6: God Goes Before You Speaker: John GunterEagle Community Church of Christ Mont Belvieu, TexasLoving God.

Two conversations connecting veteran service and senior advocacy to the November election — one previewing the October issue of The American Legion Magazine and one with an urgent message for every voter: check your registration now. American Legion Director of Media and Communications Henry Howard previews the October issue, including the cover story by Alan Dowd tracing America's centuries-long commitment to freedom of the seas and why the Navy's current 293-ship fleet falls dangerously short of the 500 ships the DOD says it needs. He introduces new National Commander Jay Bowen, an Army Patriot missile veteran whose theme for his year of service is BPOTS — Be Part of the Solution — a message connecting individual action to veteran services and specifically to the Be the One veteran suicide prevention initiative. Training is free and open to everyone at betheone.org. He also discusses the American Legion Humvee sweepstakes, with entries open through December 19 at legion.org/sweepstakes. Then, Alliance for Retired Americans Executive Director Rich Fiesta delivers a time-sensitive message: states are already sending mail-in ballots, the Supreme Court has kept injunctions in place against the Trump administration's executive order that would have directed the Postal Service to withhold ballots from voters not on a White House list and the window to fix a registration problem is closing. Go to vote.org now to confirm your status and polling location. Forty percent of voters over 65 voted by mail in 2024, the highest rate of any age group, which is why this fight mattered most for older Americans. Resources including the Alliance's congressional voting record going back to 2001 are available at retiredamericans.org. If you or a veteran you know is struggling, call or text 988 or visit betheone.org. Visit legion.org and retiredamericans.org for more.
Drop us a line or two . . .## LONG SUMMARYThis episode opens mid-life, mid-mess — which is pretty on-brand for CDQ. Queenie kicks things off with a life update that's equal parts exhausting and quietly heroic: her mom, Mumsy, has been transferred to Sunnyview Hospital for acute rehabilitation following a pelvic fracture complicated by pneumonia. And it has been, to put it mildly, a week.The opioid reaction alone is a whole story. Mumsy — described as a tiny little bird of a woman at 105 pounds — went full superhuman after being administered medication that did not agree with her, requiring five adults (including two men, Queenie is quick to note) to safely get her back into bed. She was subsequently assigned one-on-one monitoring with what Queenie cheerfully describes as "a robot looking thing" watching her around the clock. Thursday was, in Queenie's words, a completely lost day. But by the time they're recording, Mumsy is up with a walker, fully participating in therapy, and apparently chatty as ever — which, given the steroid-fueled word avalanche Queenie witnessed upon transfer, seems to be something of a baseline.The path forward is genuinely uncertain: subacute care may follow, options are limited while oxygen stays in the picture, and Queenie is doing what she can, which right now means taking it a day at a time and trying to get to her grandchildren when she can squeeze it in.From the heavy to the delightful: TT received a birthday gift while the two were celebrating on the Cape, and it's a game called Ganja Land — a cannabis-themed Candyland knockoff from the brand Lightly Toasted. TT, who has not yet played it, gives an enthusiastic rundown: eight character pieces (including Mary Jane Mermaid, The Royal Highness, and Weedly Wizard, all dressed appropriately for the occasion), a board full of hidden objects for timed scavenger hunts, trivia cards, fun facts, and a Spotify playlist to set the mood. The goal is to reach the Cannabis Castle and claim the cannabis crown — a bedazzled, marijuana-leaf-encrusted upgrade on the Burger King paper crown. Gameplay involves passing a joint to the left per Ganja Land tradition, and turn order follows the same direction. TT and Queenie immediately begin plotting to play virtually or in person come October.Then Queenie brings an article she'd flagged from Time magazine: what to do when someone gives you the silent treatment. The timing is personal. She'd reached out to a friend she'd lost touch with — wrote a note, explained a difficult five-year stretch, opened the door. Got nothing back. Not even, as she puts it, a fuck you. The article's framework is practical: distinguish between a healthy pause and a deliberate withdrawal, send one calm non-accusatory message, do not chase, do not retaliate with more silence, don't apologize just to get a reaction. When contact resumes: lead with curiosity, describe impact without assuming intent, and if the silence is a pattern rather than a moment, maybe look hard at whether the relationship is worth the real estate it's taking up in your head.Queenie's takeaway is quieter than the article's framework. Reading it gave her permission to let it go — to acknowledge she'd done her part, fulfilled what she calls "the social contract," and move on. TT points out, warmly but pointedly, that reaching out at all was the brave move. It was. And the non-response is its own answer.Which connects to the Fucket List addition: you do not have to respond to everything. Queenie originally pulled this out as a parenting tool — when kids are being fresh or challenging or saying things that don't actually require your engagement, you give yourself permission to just not. She's had to resurrect it lately, for adults. For family situations. For the nurses at the hospital asking her how Mumsy likes her nasal cannula. (Her answer: "What would you do if I wasn't here? Do that.") The relief of not needing to be the one with every answer — not needing to fix, explain, defend, or respond to everything lobbed at you — is, it turns out, just as applicable at 60-something as it was when her kids were teenagers.The episode closes on a more tender note. While the women were on the Cape, two significant losses happened: Dolly Parton and Gloria Steinem. Both are acknowledged with the kind of genuine warmth you can't fake. For Steinem, Queenie has a specific recommendation: Netflix's Final Words — a pre-recorded interview filmed in the last couple of years, designed to air only after her death. Remote cameras, no crew, just Steinem knowing this would be her last on-camera words. Queenie watched it the night Steinem died. She calls it powerful. Forty minutes, not overlong, completely worth it.The conversation turns briefly political — because it has to. Women couldn't get credit in their own names until 1977. Physicians could discuss a woman's health directly with her husband, without involving her. Queenie and TT were already out of high school by then. It doesn't feel like ancient history to them. It feels like a warning. The episode wraps with an original song — "What Would Gloria Do?" — a full-throated tribute to Steinem that closes the show the way Steinem apparently closed most things: with glasses on, something sharp to say, and zero apologies.---## SHORT SUMMARYQueenie opens up about a harrowing week navigating her mother's transfer to a rehabilitation hospital — steroids, an opioid reaction, and five adults required to contain a 105-pound woman — while finding small things to hold onto, like TT's birthday gift of Ganja Land, a cannabis Candyland that they're already plotting to play. The episode gets real about the silent treatment, the art of not responding to everything, and the very different kinds of quiet that can settle over a relationship. It closes by honoring Dolly Parton and Gloria Steinem — two women who showed up, in completely different ways, and never once made themselves small.---## EPISODE VIBEThis one has weight to it, but it wears it lightly. It's the kind of episode that starts in the thick of a hard week — hospital transfers, oxygen dependency, a mom who needed five people to keep her safe — and somehow finds its way to a birthday gift and a cannabis board game without it feeling like whiplash. There's exhaustion here, yes, but also a kind of hard-won clarity that comes through in everything from the silent treatment conversation to the Fucket List to the tribute to Gloria Steinem. Queenie is navigating a lot — caregiving, grief-adjacent uncertainty, a friendship that quietly closed a door — and TT is steady beside her, funny when it helps, serious when it matters. The emotional throughline is permission: permission to let go, to not respond, to stop being the one with all the answers. It's a midlife episode in the truest sense — not defeated, not falsely cheerful, just honest about where they are and who they're choosing to be.
