More than a century after the 1913–14 Copper Country Strike, one of its most prominent leaders now has a permanent place in downtown Calumet, Michigan. Anna Klobuchar Clemenc, better known as “Big Annie,” was born in Calumet to Slovenian immigrant parents and became a leader in the strike, founding and serving as president of the Women's Auxiliary No. 15 of the Western Federation of Miners. In this episode of the Lake Superior Podcast, Walt Lindala and Frida Waara talk with Team Big Annie chairperson Vada Riederich about the years-long community effort to raise $150,000 to create a bronze statue honoring her legacy and the August 2026 unveiling. Vada about how a Facebook post grew into a years-long campaign, the people who helped make the monument possible, and what Big Annie's legacy can teach new generations about labor history in Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula.Notable Quotes:“She was driven and she would not give up on what should be fair and right.”“At that time when women had no voice and no vote, that's quite an undertaking for a young woman of 25 years old.”“I hope that young people will be inspired to learn more about our amazing history and be proud to share it.”“We're still a young nation and we're still growing and learning from our mistakes…history gives you that information so we can figure a path to correct those mistakes”“So she spoke up at that time, and it led to good things in the future.”Helpful links:Big Annie Statue Projecthttps://www.biganniestatue.com/Keweenaw National Historical Parkhttps://www.nps.gov/kewe/Coppertown Mining Museumhttps://www.nps.gov/places/coppertown-mining-museum.htmKeweenaw Community Foundation – Big Annie Statue Fundhttps://www.keweenawcommunityfoundation.org/big-annie-statue-fundConnect with us:Lake Superior Podcast Page: https://nplsf.org/podcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/NationalParksOfLakeSuperiorFoundationSponsors:Cafe Imports – Minneapolis-based importers of specialty green coffees since 1993, focused on sustainability.

Deer season is officially here, and Chasing Giants is back with plenty to talk about. Terry kicks off Episode 341 with an update from his first hunts of the 2026 Kentucky season, including a fascinating Western Kentucky property where years of habitat improvement, food plots, bedding cover and disciplined buck management are beginning to show major results. Don and Terry discuss why buck management can have such a dramatic impact on a property—not because hunters are “changing genetics,” but because they can influence which bucks are allowed to reach older age classes. They also talk about last-minute food plot work, overseeding standing corn and soybeans, hairy vetch, cereal grains, miscanthus screens and preparing properties for the heart of deer season. Then the conversation takes a turn. Don is going old school. His grandson Walker has developed an interest in trapping, and Don is pulling out knowledge and equipment from a part of his outdoor life that predates his obsession with giant whitetails. Their goal includes catching 50 raccoons and eventually pursuing the different Illinois furbearers together. From there, Terry brings up a fascinating debate happening in another outdoor industry: forward-facing sonar in fishing. It raises a much bigger question: What happens when technology becomes so effective that the younger generation experiences hunting and fishing completely differently than the generation before them? Trail cameras. Cell cameras. Drones. Forward-facing sonar. Where is the line between using technology and losing the skills that originally defined the outdoors? Don gives his perspective on the generational divide and why passing along woodsmanship, character, integrity and faith may be more important than ever. Plus, this week's listener questions include: • Would Don consider becoming Illinois DNR Director if Darren Bailey asked him? • What's the big buck that Don still thinks he should have killed? • Do trail cameras take some of the excitement out of hunting? • How should you hunt a small rut funnel surrounded by larger properties? • How does Don deal with criticism and haters on social media? • Will a buck with an abnormal extra beam grow it again next year? And perhaps one of the best reminders of Episode 341: Keep hunting fun. Hunt the way that makes YOU happy. You don't have to impress social media, Don, Terry or anybody else. Thanks for listening, watching and being part of the Chasing Giants community. BOONE BROTHERS Kentucky hunters have an incredible opportunity to turn their deer harvest into meals for hungry children. One donated doe can provide approximately 115 meals through Boone Brothers. Deer season is officially here, and Chasing Giants is back with plenty to talk about.

The lumber market is moving plenty of volume—but not necessarily going anywhere. This week, Ashley, Gregg and Charles are joined by Bart Charles to break down a market that is strongly sideways. The crew digs into Spruce, Hem-Fir and Southern Yellow Pine, the growing opportunity in forward pricing, tight supply in key items, and why getting aggressively long or short could be a mistake right now. With futures offering opportunities to lock in Q1 business, limited production keeping a floor under prices, and housing demand still fighting affordability, the question becomes: Where is the next real opportunity in lumber? Timeline 00:00 Bart Charles joins the show 01:49 Housing, existing-home inventory & demand 04:18 Is the lumber market “strongly sideways”? 06:19 Coastal Hem-Fir vs. Inland pricing 09:52 Breaking down Hem-Fir and Spruce 13:54 Southern Yellow Pine market update 15:13 Diesel prices, trucking & freight costs 17:03 Where does the lumber market go from here? 19:24 Gregg: The market is “sharply sideways” 21:05 Forward pricing & futures opportunities 23:01 Are buyers willing to pay Q1 premiums? 29:48 Supply reductions, demand & price risk 31:25 Mortgage rates and housing affordability 32:33 Tight inventory and replacement costs 34:28 Are traders still short lumber? 35:09 Short opportunities in Southern Pine 37:03 “Sharply Sideways” becomes the episode theme 39:33 Why getting too long—or too short—could hurt 39:51 Locking in Q1 margins 40:15 Why there's no good inventory hedge right now 41:12 The “O'Hare Hedge” Advertiser Fastmarkets RISI Tiranth Amarasinghe Product Marketing Manager Tiranth.Amarasinghe@fastmarkets.com www.fastmarkets.com Show Contacts: Gregg Riley: Gregg@sitkainc.com Charles DeLaTorre: cdelatorre@ifpwood.com Matt Beymer: mattbeymer@hamptonlumber.com Ashley Boeckholt: ashley@sitkainc.com Guest Bart Charles BCharles@shamrockbm.com
This conversation is part of a three-part series about Embedded Finance that Jane and I are launching leading up to Embedify 2026, our summit for vertical SaaS leaders on October 13 in Lehi, Utah.AI is making software faster to build, easier to copy, and harder to price with the old per-seat subscription model. So where does durable growth come from when “more features” no longer guarantees higher ARPU and AI agents start doing the work your users used to do? We think the answer is hiding in plain sight: the financial activity already running through your platform.In this episode I sit down with Jane Podbelskaya, Founder of Charge Forward, to unpack the embedded finance playbook for vertical SaaS. Jane explains how transactional revenue aligns with customer success, why embedded finance can protect profitability when AI tools carry higher costs, and what “embedded finance” really means beyond just payments. We also dig into where to look for monetizable moments inside real workflows, from obvious money movement to subtle signals like CSV exports, QuickBooks detours, and repeated integration requests.We then go past the hype into execution: what it means to manage embedded finance as a product and a P&L, how to think about pricing and packaging, how to drive adoption with clear UI and messaging, and why compliance-aware marketing matters even when a fintech partner handles most of the back-end complexity. Subscribe for the next parts of the series, share this with a SaaS operator who's rethinking pricing, and leave a review with your biggest question about embedded finance.

Raj Selvadurai, founder of Gold Street Legal Search and Lateral IQ, has spent nearly twenty years placing lateral partners the old-fashioned way: relationships, referrals, and a lot of judgment calls about who actually fits where. On this episode, Raj explains why general AI tools like ChatGPT fall short for recruiting, how he built Lateral IQ to give partners and firms verified, self-service data, and why the real signal in lateral hiring isn't who a firm hires, it's who actually stays. If you've been wondering whether AI can touch a business this relationship-driven, this conversation has the answer. KEY TAKEAWAYS Traditional lateral recruiting has always run on relationships first, and that's exactly where the risk lives: a partner's promised book of business doesn't always fully travel with them. General AI tools aren't built for a market this specific. Verification, not raw intelligence, is what recruiting actually needs, since two partners can share the same name at different firms. Real growth and churn can look identical on paper. Tracking a firm's actual hires and departures, not just its hiring announcements, is the only way to tell them apart. AI doesn't replace a recruiter's judgment, it removes the weeks of manual dossier-building so that judgment has something accurate to work from. The pandemic proved lateral moves don't need a year and a dozen in-person meetings; verified data is what lets that faster pace hold up. LINKS AND RESOURCES Lateral IQ: lateraliq.app Gold Street Legal Search: goldstreetlegal.com Red Cave Law Firm Consulting: redcavelegal.com Adventures in Legal Tech Podcast: Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, and YouTube. KEYWORDS AI legal recruiting, lateral partner recruiting, legal recruiting software, AI hallucinations in law, Lateral IQ, Gold Street Legal Search, law firm lateral hiring, legal tech software, law firm growth, AI adoption in legal, verified AI data, law firm private equity, legal industry mergers, law practice management, Red Cave Law Firm Consulting, Raj Selvadurai, Jared Correia, AI for law firm recruiting, partner recruiting technology, Adventures in Legal Tech EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS [00:03:04 - 00:03:58] Raj lays out the core risk in lateral recruiting: partners who promise a book of business that shrinks the moment the move is final. [00:04:03 - 00:04:58] Why hallucinations and name collisions make general AI tools a poor fit for a market this specific. [00:09:04 - 00:09:32] The $10 million lateral hire that closed entirely over Zoom, with no in-person meeting except to pick up a laptop. [00:14:09 - 00:15:10] The line that reframes the whole episode: hiring 50 partners and losing 49 isn't growth. [00:17:01 - 00:17:59] Raj's own account of building Lateral IQ with zero coding background, and why owning the code mattered. [00:29:24 - 00:30:15] Raj's case for law firms building their own private equity arm instead of ceding control to outside investors.
Law firms know change is coming. Knowing what to do about it is harder. In this episode of the Lawyerist Podcast, Stephanie Everett talks with Debbie Foster about leading a law firm forward as technology, client expectations, and the business of law evolve. Debbie explains why strategy often gets pushed aside for urgent client work and day-to-day demands. Together, they explore why firms struggle to move beyond “we've always done it this way,” how consensus can stall progress, and why great ideas mean little without execution and team buy-in. They also examine how AI is raising the stakes for law firm leaders. Waiting for certainty is not a strategy. Stephanie and Debbie share practical ways to protect time for strategic thinking, challenge assumptions, build buy-in, and help teams adapt to change. If your firm keeps talking about what needs to change but struggles to make it happen, this episode will help you move from ideas to action.

Many Americans can tell you exactly what they were doing 25 years ago when they learned the United States had been attacked. But for a younger generation, the attacks are something they’ve only learned about in history class. With that in mind, it’s time to think about what we want future generations to remember. GUESTS: Jay Winuk: Co-Founder of 9/11 Day, an organization that started in 2002 with the goal of turning 9/11 into a day of service. The group began after Jay's brother Glenn, an attorney, volunteer firefighter and EMT, died at the World Trade Center.

The military separated them. One was discharged. The other spent 47 years searching for his partner.We found him.This is the story of Mario Woods and Michael Johnson: the Ellsworth AFB incident, the reunion, and the first-ever dual hypnotic regression revealing what both men saw on the craft that night."Check out our NEW Vetted Merch Store: https://vettedmerch.storeCheck out Vetted's Documentary PSIONICS at https://psionics.film+ JOIN YOUTUBE MEMBERSHIP: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1VfNwcNXSvCy8bNnFzqkpA/join+ JOIN PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/VettedUAP+ BUY MERCH: https://vettedmerch.store SOCIAL MEDIA:+ DISCORD: https://discord.gg/pcZ3k3dm4D+ TWITTER: https://twitter.com/VettedPodcastPLAYLISTS:+ DAILY VIDEOS: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSA-phE0E4jIc3cZY5TA7VPBQz19PuybW+ INTERVIEWS: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSA-phE0E4jINxtsMy3MPO6oqvK4D9NKj_____________SOURCES:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjUdn6FklAU_____________VETTED Hosted By Patrick Scott Armstrong+ WEBSITE: http://www.vetted.show #disclosure #aliens #uap #ufonews #ufos #ufo #alien #uapnews #orbs #nhi #news24 #news

Get the free companion guide for this episode here Ever watched American Beauty and felt a strange kinship with the moment Kevin Spacey's character quits his job to go work the drive through window? Brooklyn opens this episode with that scene because she's been there too, and she suspects a lot of women running private practices have been there as well. From the drive through she moves into a personal update about manifesting a new, spacious chapter of her own life, and how chasing that spaciousness led her back to a realisation about who she actually serves and why her messaging needed a tweak, not an overhaul. The heart of this episode is goal setting for therapists in private practice, and the difference between a goal and an intention. Brooklyn breaks down why so many counsellors, psychologists, and social workers end up feeling like a hamster on a wheel, endlessly ticking off to-do lists that never actually shift the numbers in the business. Her argument is simple. A goal is external and measurable, something like five new inquiries by Friday, while an intention is internal, the why and the how underneath it. Without a goal, a to-do list just keeps growing and you never get the felt sense of progress, even when you're working flat out. To explain why so many private practice owners get caught in this loop, Brooklyn walks through the difference between an employee mindset and a business owner mindset. When you work for someone else, your tasks are prioritised for you, your performance is tracked and reviewed, and someone else notices when you do well. When you're running your own private practice, none of that oversight exists automatically, which is why tracking KPIs in private practice becomes so important once you're out on your own. Brooklyn draws on her own background managing government contracts and working inside Medicare, where every appointment and every outcome was monitored, to show just how different it feels the moment you're suddenly self-directed with no one checking your numbers but you. This episode is for you if you've been asking why am I not getting more clients despite doing all the things, or if you've noticed you're posting on Instagram and Facebook because it feels productive rather than because it's actually moving the business forward. Brooklyn's message is that the business is a vehicle to the life you actually want, whether that's more time, more money, or more freedom, and setting a proper goal, paired with the intention behind it, is what gets you there instead of just keeping you busy.

Keywords used: goal setting for therapists in private practice, business owner mindset vs employee mindset, why am I not getting more clients, tracking KPIs in private practice, private practice business goals Australia, how to set goals in private practice, why nothing is working in my private practice, moving from employee mindset to business owner, setting intentions for your business, how to stop feeling stuck in private practice Mini FAQ: Q: What's the difference between a goal and an intention in business? A: A goal is external and measurable, like wanting five new inquiries by a certain date, while an intention is internal, the why and the how behind that goal. Q: Why do private practice owners feel busy but not like they're making progress? A: Because to-do lists keep growing without end, and without a measurable goal attached to them there's no felt sense of finishing or moving forward. Q: What's the difference between an employee mindset and a business owner mindset? A: An employee is directed, performance managed, and has their progress tracked for them, while a business owner has to prioritise, track, and hold themselves accountable with no one else doing it. Q: Why is tracking KPIs important in a private practice? A: Without tracking, you don't know what's working and what isn't, so you can't tell whether to keep posting on social media, change your approach, or focus your energy somewhere else entirely. Q: What should the business actually be doing for you? A: Brooklyn sees the business as a vehicle to the life you want, whether that's more time, more money, more freedom, or financial security, not the end goal in itself.
Hour 4 in full
In this week's episode, I'm experimenting with two substances to make a mini bow for the new minifigure of Aurora in the Thirteenth Hour sequel - Dare. I have talked about Instamorph before here and made a bow out of that, and on the episode, I am trying out Green Stuff, an epoxy putty that can be used for molds but also small items, like this bow.
