SUMMARY Your words become your child's inner voice, for better or for worse. In this episode, Brent Silkey shares the practice he's kept without missing a single year — a handwritten letter to each of his four kids on every birthday, so that by graduation they'll hold an 18-year catalog of God's faithfulness over their life. Recorded in the pouring rain during Brent's 24-hour run for freedom, this conversation will challenge you to speak life over your family, stop settling for comfort, and take the next step you already know you need to take. TAKEAWAYS You can do hard things, or you can have hard things happen to you. Dads who train themselves — physically, spiritually, emotionally — build a reservoir their whole family draws from. Your words are the foundation blocks of your family's culture. Brent has written and read a letter to each of his four kids on every birthday, so by graduation they'll hold an 18-year catalog of God's faithfulness over their life. Big vision belongs to the whole family, not just to dad. Bike rides became park days, marathons became bake sales and jewelry stands, and the kids caught the heart without ever being told to. Freedom from pornography is one of the greatest gifts a dad can give. Shame keeps men isolated; rootedness in a real community — not a la carte Christianity — is where the healing starts. You'll never regret investing more in your family. You'll know your kids as adults far longer than you knew them as kids, so when they say "up," pick them up. QUOTES "By the time they graduate high school, they'll have a catalog of God's faithfulness over 18 years in these letters." "You can either do hard things or you can have hard things happen to you." "Do something you've never done to reach someone that's not yet been reached." "This is a family thing, not a Brent thing." "The most life-changing question outside of the gospel being shared was, What's my next obedience step?" "We can be people who speak life over our families, life over our kids. It really goes a long way." GUEST Brent Silkey is the founder of 30 for Freedom, a ministry mobilizing runners to rescue girls out of trafficking. He's completed 71+ marathons and ultras — including seven marathons on seven continents in seven days — and has helped raise more than $4.3 million for freedom. Brent also directs Chi Alpha at the University of St. Thomas and runs with UNRL. Adopted from South Korea as a baby, he and his wife live in Minnesota with their four kids: two daughters, 14 and 11, and two sons, 8 and 5. This fall he's taking on 40 for Freedom — running 40 miles for his 40th birthday and inviting 40 leaders to multiply the vision toward $300,000 raised in a single day.   LINKS Spartan Team DadAwesome, Dallas, Texas, October 17 https://givebutter.com/DallasSpartan Leave a VOICEMAIL: https://www.speakpipe.com/DadAwesome Join Team Awesomeness (monthly support team) at any level from $7/month to $1000/month...

The business wasn't missing ambition. It was missing the structure to sustain it. What happens when a rapidly growing business starts demanding more from its founder than one person can give? In this case study, Dr. Jesse Jacobs of Freeform Chiropractic shares how he transformed a fast-growing franchise organization from founder-dependent momentum into a scalable enterprise built on accountability, structure, and leadership. As Free Form Chiropractic expanded from seven locations to a growing multi-unit organization, Jesse discovered that the next stage of growth required more than vision. It demanded operational discipline, clear systems, and a business that could thrive without depending on him to save the day. The result wasn't just a stronger company. It gave him more freedom with his family, greater confidence as a CEO, and a clearer path toward the future he set out to build. In This Case Study You Will: Follow how Free Form Chiropractic evolved from founder-driven growth to a business built for long-term scale. Discover why accountability and organizational clarity became the missing pieces behind rapid expansion. Hear what changed when Jesse stopped white-knighting every challenge and stepped fully into the CEO role. Explore how leadership systems created greater freedom both inside the business and at home. Take away the framework that helped transform growth into durability and optionality. Episode Highlights 01:33 – A fast-growing franchise looked successful on paper, but behind the scenes the founder was carrying far more than the business could sustainably demand. 02:56 – The realization wasn't knowing exactly what needed to change. It was recognizing that growth had exposed problems that couldn't be solved alone. 03:56 – Personal vision became the foundation for business vision, creating clarity that reached far beyond opening more locations. 05:48 – Looking beyond the bank account and into meaningful business metrics transformed how every location was measured and improved. 07:12 – Standards stopped drifting once accountability and clear ownership became part of the organization's operating rhythm. 08:55 – Building a world-class team started with a simple commitment: only world-class people would shape the future of the company. 12:06 – The pursuit of freedom gave way to something even more valuable: building a business durable enough to create lasting optionality. 17:20 – Growth wasn't measured only by opening more locations but by creating businesses that could thrive without depending on the founder. 20:58 – Reclaiming intentional time with family became one of the clearest signs that the business was finally serving the life it was meant to support. 24:30 – The greatest breakthroughs didn't come from having all the answers, but from surrounding the business with people who understood the journey. 28:12 - Technology should make running a chiropractic practice easier, not more complicated. Dr. Bobby sits down with Sam Ogutucu from Success Partner Medic Cloud to explore how specialized IT support and in-house digital X-ray solutions help practices improve efficiency, enhance the patient experience, protect retention, and create stronger long-term profitability.

Healthcare organizations need to understand what their AI can access, what it does, and how its decisions affect patients. In this episode, I speak with Eddie Borrero, Chief Information Technology Officer at Cyera, about helping healthcare organizations adopt AI while protecting sensitive data and maintaining strong governance. Eddie explains how companies are implementing AI across the workforce, business platforms, and software development, and why each area requires clear controls, accountability, and oversight. We also discuss his “offense and defense” framework, the importance of least-privilege access, and the risks created when AI agents inherit more permissions than they need. Eddie also shares why healthcare leaders need visibility, traceability, and explainability to understand how AI uses data and makes decisions. Tune in to learn how effective governance can help healthcare organizations embrace AI securely and responsibly! Resources: Connect with and follow Eddie Borrero on LinkedIn.

The Song ends where Genesis began, under a tree in a garden with two people who are not ashamed. Solomon points us to Revelation 22, Eden restored, and the New Heavens and the New Earth. Love is as strong as death, Solomon writes, and it is the flame of the LORD Himself, which many waters cannot quench. Then brothers appear, worrying over a little sister too young to be spoken for, and they decide that if she is a wall, meaning she has kept herself pure, they will crown her in silver, and if she is a door, meaning she has not, they will board her up in cedar and put a stop to it. Faithfulness is not only a promise between husband and wife, but also the call to every Christian to be loyal to Christ and Him alone. The Rev. Donald Stein, pastor of St. Andrews Lutheran Church in Rockton, IL, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Song of Solomon 8:1-14. To learn more about St. Andrews Lutheran, visit standrewrockton.com. The Song of Solomon is a book of love poetry, a bride and her bridegroom singing to each other across eight chapters. God's people have sung it since Solomon's day, and Jewish congregations still read it at Passover. The Church has heard in it the voice of Christ and His bride, and Luther quoted the Song in The Freedom of a Christian to describe what happens when Christ takes a sinner as His own. Paul was working the same ground in Ephesians five, where he set marriage beside Christ and the Church and called it a great mystery.  This series works through the whole book verse by verse, from the kiss in chapter one to the seal on the heart in chapter eight. We hear what it says about the body, about desire, and about the marriage God instituted in the garden. We also ask where Christ is in it, since the Church has long heard in these songs the voice of the Bridegroom who gave His life for His bride. Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations. Submit comments or questions to: thystrongword@kfuo.org.

What happens when the church you built your whole identity around cancels you overnight — and you come out the other side more honest, more grounded, and more free than you've ever been? In this episode, host David Sams sits down with pastor, author, and grandson of Billy Graham, Tullian Tchividjian, for a wide-ranging, unfiltered conversation about cancel culture inside Christianity, the pressure of growing up in a legacy family, surviving a very public fall from grace, and why he believes the church should be the safest place on earth for broken people — not the scariest. Tullian opens up about the therapy, self-awareness, and years of rebuilding that led him to plant The Sanctuary in Jupiter, Florida — a "recovery place masquerading as a church" — and to a life that's smaller, less polished, and infinitely more real. The conversation is the perfect window into Tullian's brand-new book, Fragments of Freedom — a full-color, coffee-table-style memoir told in 40 short, diary-style entries, complete with custom photography and QR codes linking to the songs and playlists that shaped each page. It's not a devotional and it's not a typical chapter book — it's a raw, unedited look into Tullian's daily life, struggles, and the unexpected places he finds grace. As he puts it, "Grace does not erase the ruins. It meets you in the rubble."

Trumpeter and bandleader Arturo Sandoval is a Latin music legend who began his career as a co-founder of the essential Cuban band Irakere and since moving to the States has incorporated the sounds of soul, jazz, funk, and Afrobeat into his music. Barack Obama awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and his life was the subject of the film For Love Or Country: The Arturo Sandoval Story, with Andy Garcia starring as Arturo. The real Arturo Sandoval was born in Cuba, defected to America with the help of his friend Dizzy Gillespie, and became one of the foundational figures in Afro-Cuban jazz. By the way, he was recently knighted by the King of Spain. His new album shows that Sandoval retains his youthful enthusiasm; it's called Sangú – an inadvertent bit of Spanglish that simply means “sounds good.” Arturo Sandoval leads his band in some of these latest tunes from Sangú - bebop, funk, Yoruba spiritual memory, riding along with Cuban phrasing and percussion, in-studio. He also demonstrates the jaw harp, shows off his “Red Trumpet”, and tells the harrowing story of how he gained political asylum for himself and his family while touring in Europe in 1990. - Caryn Havlik Set list: 1.Scat 2.

It is easy to approach divorce with one goal in mind: just get through it and let everything else go for the time being. Deal with the legal issues, make the financial decisions, manage the conflict, and worry about rebuilding your life once everything is finally over.But what if you didn't have to wait, and it actually serves you to start working on the next chapter of your life now?In this episode, Mardi Winder talks with love and relationship coach Lori Bryant Woolridge and psychologist and wellness coach Lauren Yellen Weinberg, creators of Your FAB Divorce, about approaching divorce as both an ending and an opportunity to begin discovering who you want to become.Lori and Lauren share why they believe emotional work belongs alongside the practical realities of divorce, particularly for women leaving long marriages who may have spent decades defining themselves through their roles as wives, mothers, partners, and caregivers. Rather than simply surviving the process, they encourage women to begin developing greater self-trust, understanding their emotions, and creating a vision for what they want their lives to look like on the other side.Questions We ConsiderQ: Why isn't focusing only on the legal and financial side of divorce enough?A: Those decisions certainly need attention, but Lori and Lauren believe ignoring the emotional side can leave you reaching the end of the divorce without knowing what comes next. Mardi describes this as the “post-divorce void,” when the battle is finally over but the sense of purpose, direction, and identity may not automatically return.Q: What happens when you've spent decades defining yourself through other people?A: Divorce can expose just how much of your identity has been connected to being a spouse, parent, caregiver, or part of a couple. Lori and Lauren encourage women to use the transition to explore who they are outside those roles and what they want for themselves going forward.Q: How can you keep fear and anger from driving the divorce?A: Lori shares the FAB approach: Focus on the present and what matters to you, Accept the realities you cannot control, and remain Bendable when circumstances change. The goal is to stay committed to your larger vision while remaining flexible about how you get there.Q: Why is self-trust so important during a major transition?A: Lauren explains that uncertainty becomes easier to navigate when you trust yourself to make decisions, adapt when circumstances change, and figure things out as you move forward. That self-trust can become part of the foundation for whatever comes next.Q: What if divorce could be more than something you simply survive?A: Lori and Lauren invite women to consider divorce as a transition that can also create space for growth, greater self-awareness, and a new understanding of who they want to become. Their message isn't about pretending divorce is easy. It is about recognizing that the process does not have to put the rest of your life on hold.About the Guests:Lori Bryant Woolridge, CPC, CSC, PCC.

Freedom without direction is just drift.In Part 10 of our Set Free series, Pastor Benny Ferguson walks through Galatians 5:13-15 and asks what our freedom in Christ is actually FOR.

LESSON 246To Love My Father Is To Love His Son.Let me not think that I can find the way to God, if I have hatred in my heart. Let me not try to hurt God's Son, and think that I can know his Father or my Self. Let me not fail to recognize myself, and still believe that my awareness can contain my Father, or my mind conceive of all the love my Father has for me, and all the love which I return to Him.I will accept the way You choose for me to come to You, my Father. For in that will I succeed, because it is Your Will. And I would recognize that what You will is what I will as well, and only that. And so I choose to love Your Son. Amen- Jesus Christ in ACIM

As our hormones and female physiology change, running a bit less and more strategic is essential to feel stronger, healthier, and even faster.Louise Valentine, a leading expert for perimenopausal active women and runners, sits down with Jen to look back on their four-month training cycle and share what happened when they reduced running mileage, focused more on the Breaking Through Wellness female-specific strength training and fitness methods, and stopped forcing their bodies to keep up with demanding race goals.One of their biggest lessons was once again learning to recognize a bioindividual “stress tipping point”, a science-backed theory that Louise teaches us to thrive through perimenopause. For example, more training is not always better, especially when sleep, recovery, hormones, hunger, mood, and body composition start to suffer. Louise shares how stepping away from half-marathon training helped improve her sleep, libido, strength, physique, recovery, and hormone markers while still allowing her to run faster. Jen also discovered that shorter runs brought her faster physique changes, more joy, improved energy, and made training easier to fit into her busy family life.They also discuss excessive cardio, hunger hormones, female-specific strength training, ditching social media pressure, and the empowering freedom that comes from changing goals without feeling like you failed.The takeaway is simple: your healthiest and most effective training plan looks a lot different in midlife as your hormones and female physiology change.RESOURCES + LINKSLearn & level up with my free nutrition guide & award-winning 1:1 Academy to thrive through perimenopause with less stress: https://www.breakingthroughwellness.comBlog post mentioned in this episode, “Trying to find your sweet spot with running & fitness in perimenopause?

In this episode of *Pediatric Perspectives*, I was joined by Kari Bundy, a health freedom advocate whose son Mason died three days after his four-month vaccines, and by Polly Tommey, who turned the interview around to ask me about pertussis, the DTaP/Tdap vaccine, and SIDS. Kari's story is a hard one, but it's the kind of story parents deserve to hear before they're standing in an exam room being told their baby needs a shot right now.

In this milestone 500th episode of Better Call Daddy, host Reena Friedman Watts sits down with Will McKee, Jiu Jitsu black belt and founder of Asylum Jiu Jitsu in Aledo, Texas. Will shares his transformative journey from a 255-pound medical operations manager to a confident, mission-driven Jiu Jitsu practitioner shedding 60 pounds and rebuilding his mental health along the way. Will opens up about the physical and mental transformation he's experienced through Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ), emphasizing self-confidence, resilience, and discipline. He explains how he coaches kids to embrace competition without pressure, creating a gym culture where every student child or adult can grow, learn, and overcome real obstacles. The conversation dives into Jiu Jitsu culture at large: the balance between competition and personal growth, the importance of a safe training environment, and the darker sides of martial arts culture that Asylum Jiu Jitsu was built to push back against. Despite its name, Will explains, Asylum isn't a cage it's a place of refuge, structure, and freedom, closer to a monastery than an asylum in the traditional sense. Will also reflects on his own mental health struggles and how Jiu Jitsu became his sanctuary during the hardest chapters of his life. He shares stories of student progress, his approach to mentorship, and his mission to be the coach he wished he'd had growing up — shaped in part by his relationship with his own father. If you're interested in martial arts, BJJ, mental health, fitness transformation, or raising resilient kids, this milestone episode of Better Call Daddy delivers all of it.

In this episode of Unashamed Unafraid, Sam interviews Curtis Morley, who shifted from tech CEO and entrepreneur to “Emotionologist” after personal upheaval and a difficult divorce. Curtis explains his framework of “counterfeit emotions,” including shame as the counterfeit of guilt, misery as the counterfeit of pain, and sobriety as the counterfeit of recovery, emphasizing that recovery measures “how deep” rather than “how long.” He discusses dopamine dependence, why the problem is the need for pornography rather than pornography itself, and a bus metaphor for witnessing emotions and choosing authentic counterparts. Curtis outlines additional dyads (love/lust, kind/nice, excellence/perfectionism, joy/pleasure) and offers hope through his Be Whole method, plus shares the origin of his song “Whole Again,” inspired by his daughter's healing after a rare blood disease.- - - Sign up or book a call with Curtis! www.counterfeitemotions.com/recovery- - - In the sobriety world you often hear the saying it's only a matter of time until… you have another relapse. In the recovery world it's only a matter of time until… you overcome this for good. Sobriety from pornography is only the first step, but most programs end there. It turns out that sobriety is actually the counterfeit of recovery. A false sense of security with blockers and filters but without curing the underlying issues. People have believed for decades that willpower and white knuckling is enough. That's where the trap is. Sobriety is a life of fear and misery whereas recovery is full of joy and refined. There is so much hope for full recovery. Is possible. People are overcoming the struggle for good.  Freedom from the grind feels amazing to wake up every day with peace and hope. Make a donation and become an Outsider!Follow us on social media!

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared and Jen sit down with clinical psychologist Dr. Roger McFillin for a challenging conversation about psychiatric diagnosis, mental health medications, and the medicalization of normal human struggle. Jen shares her experience of being prescribed Prozac at age 13 and spending decades living under diagnoses that shaped how she saw herself. Dr. McFillin explains why he has become an outspoken critic of his own profession and questions how conditions such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and ADHD are diagnosed. They discuss the DSM, informed consent, psychiatric medications, emotional suppression, personal agency, and the powerful effect a diagnosis can have on identity. This conversation asks an important question: Are we helping people understand why they are struggling, or simply giving their struggles a name?Additional Information:Dr. Roger McFillin - Website + Podcast Dr. Roger McFillin Instagram Dr: Roger McFillin on X Dr. Roger McFillin Substack Center for Integrated Behavioral Health Jen's Story Episodes:264: Emotional Vitality423: Emotional Vitality: Jen's Story Part 2 - Rebalancing Mind and Body Through Supplementation438: Emotional Vitality: Jen's Story Part 3 - Weaning Off of Pharma457: Emotional Vitality: Jen's Story Part 4 - How Changing Your Mindset Can Change Your Life 505: Emotional Vitality: Jen's Story Part 5 - The Impact of Diet on Mental Health and Physical PainVisit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

Solomon describes his bride, beginning at her feet and moving up. He describes her "belly like a heap of wheat encircled with lilies," and her "neck like an ivory tower" and "nose like the tower of Lebanon." The comparisons sound strange to us. In Solomon's mouth, however, they are stately and reminiscent of a kingdom at peace. She answers him: "I am my beloved's, and his desire is for me." That word for desire appears twice more in Scripture, both times in Genesis, both a curse. Does this point us to the reversal of the curse of Eden through the Church's marriage to Christ? The Rev. James Peterson, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church in Curtis, NE, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Song of Solomon 7:1-13.  To learn more about St. John Lutheran in Curtis, visit facebook.com/stjohncurtis. The Song of Solomon is a book of love poetry, a bride and her bridegroom singing to each other across eight chapters. God's people have sung it since Solomon's day, and Jewish congregations still read it at Passover. The Church has heard in it the voice of Christ and His bride, and Luther quoted the Song in The Freedom of a Christian to describe what happens when Christ takes a sinner as His own. Paul was working the same ground in Ephesians five, where he set marriage beside Christ and the Church and called it a great mystery.  This series works through the whole book verse by verse, from the kiss in chapter one to the seal on the heart in chapter eight. We hear what it says about the body, about desire, and about the marriage God instituted in the garden. We also ask where Christ is in it, since the Church has long heard in these songs the voice of the Bridegroom who gave His life for His bride. Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations. Submit comments or questions to: thystrongword@kfuo.org.

A newly released Bureau of Prisons document sheds more light on Ghislaine Maxwell's controversial transfer to a minimum-security federal prison, but it stops short of answering the biggest question surrounding the move: why it happened. Bloomberg reporter Jason Leopold obtained Maxwell's prison transfer form after a yearlong Freedom of Information Act battle with the Bureau of Prisons. The form confirms that prison officials documented and approved the transfer, but the agency redacted the portion explaining the rationale for moving Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year sentence for helping Jeffrey Epstein sexually abuse and traffic underage girls. That omission leaves the central justification hidden from the public even as the transfer itself continues to generate scrutiny because of Maxwell's high-profile conviction and the unusual attention surrounding her incarceration.The release therefore provides documentation without providing transparency where it matters most. Maxwell's move to a lower-security facility has already fueled questions about whether she received preferential treatment, whether her cooperation with federal authorities played any role, and what internal factors the Bureau of Prisons considered before approving the transfer. The newly obtained form does not establish that any improper deal or special arrangement occurred, but the decision to conceal the government's stated reasoning guarantees that those questions will continue. Instead of resolving the controversy, the document underscores the same problem that has repeatedly surrounded the Epstein and Maxwell cases: records eventually emerge, but crucial portions remain withheld, leaving the public with proof that a consequential decision was made while the explanation for that decision remains behind black ink.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Ghislaine Maxwell's Prison Transfer Form Released - Bloomberg

In this week's episode of The Learning Curve, co-hosts Alisha Searcy of Center for Strong Public Schools and retired Minnesota Supreme Court Justice Barry Anderson speak with historian and legal scholar Edward Larson, author of Declaring Independence: Why 1776 Matters. He explores how the thirteen colonies moved from resistance to British rule to the Declaration of Independence. Prof. Larson examines the influence of Thomas Paine's Common Sense and other revolutionary writings on the cause of liberty. He also discusses the political debates within the Continental Congress and John Adams's leadership in the fight for independence. He turns to the military challenges facing George Washington and the Continental Army in 1776. Larson also examines the contradictions between the Revolution's ideals of liberty and slavery in colonial America. He explains Thomas Jefferson's role in drafting the Declaration of Independence, including his original draft's condemnation of the transatlantic slave trade. Additionally, Larson considers why 1776 still matters 250 years later. He discusses how studying American history and law can help us better understand and preserve the nation's founding ideals. In closing, Prof. Larson reads a passage from Declaring Independence: Why 1776 Matters.

Mitchell Roberts was sitting in a Domino's parking lot, broke and wondering how he'd make his truck payment. A few years later, his lawn and landscape company did $160,000 in a single month. But the number Mitchell cares about now isn't revenue. It's how long the business can run without him.Mitchell started mowing lawns when he was nine and kept the business alive while working on power lines. When his only mowing employee quit in 2021, he had to decide whether to keep one foot in each world or bet on No Mow Worries Lawn Care & Landscape.Today, the company is doing seven figures with multiple crews—but Mitchell's biggest lessons aren't about buying more equipment or chasing more work.He breaks down the systems that helped him get off the jobsite, why he's become more careful about hiring, and his simple “peanut butter and jelly” method for teaching SOPs so employees actually understand what “done right” looks like.Takeaways:✅ Make SOPs simple enough to use — Mitchell trains his crew using a “peanut butter and jelly” approach: break the job down step by step, physically walk through it, and make sure everyone understands the same standard.✅ Hire for what you can't easily teach — Landscaping experience isn't always Mitchell's first priority. He looks for people who can handle chaos, solve problems, work hard, and take ownership instead of making excuses.✅ Your problems grow with the company — The problem can quickly change from “How do I find enough work?” to “How do we possibly get all this work done?” Growth doesn't eliminate problems. It requires better systems to handle them.✅ Develop people outside the jobsite — During 90-day reviews, Mitchell asks employees about personal goals like buying a house, then helps them figure out actual steps to get there.✅ Freedom is becoming the real test — Mitchell's next milestone isn't just another revenue number. He wants to take a two-week vacation without constantly calling back, checking on jobs, or putting out fires.Why It Matters:If you're trying to grow a lawn care, landscaping, excavation, or other service business, Mitchell shows why adding revenue and crews only works when you're also building the people and systems that can eventually replace you in the day-to-day.Links:➡️ Connect with Mitchell on Facebook: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/mitchell.roberts.9699/➡️ Visit No Mow Worries website: https://nomowworrieslawn.com/➡️ Get Ryan's book “Outta The Weeds” on Amazon: https://a.co/d/0bDS7Bap➡️ Shop Attachments — Skid Steer Nation: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://skidsteernation.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠➡️ Create estimates, track jobs, and stay organized with Tulboxx: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.tulboxx.com/⁠⁠⁠➡️ Grow your business — Throttled Up Marketing: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.throttledupmarketing.com

Drew Perkins is joined by Neal McCluskey to discuss his new book, Fighting for the Freedom to Learn. We move beyond the common narrative that school choice is a modern, free-market invention of the 1950s, instead tracing the historical roots of educational pluralism back to the colonial era.

If you enjoyed this episode, please share it and please leave a review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you're listening. *intro/outro voice credit: David O'Hara, Professor of Philosophy, Classics & Environmental Studies; Director of Environmental Studies & Sustainability at Augustana University  Key Takeaways: School Choice Has Deep Roots: The desire for educational pluralism predates 20th-century market-based theories; it is a fundamental human response to the imposition of centralized values that dates back to the colonial period. The "Common School" Conflict: The centralized, government-controlled education system introduced by reformers like Horace Mann historically marginalized minority and religious groups, leading to immediate pushback that still echoes in today's disputes over curriculum and religious content. Pluralism as a Solution: Educational choice is not just an economic policy; it is a social one. It allows diverse communities to embrace their own values—whether religious, philosophical, or pedagogical—without needing to impose those values on everyone else. Accountability vs. Content: A robust pluralistic system can prioritize parental choice while still maintaining accountability, ensuring students learn essential skills (reading, writing, math) without forcing a uniform, state-mandated worldview. Why Culture Wars Persist: Universal school choice programs are currently expanding across the U.S. not just as a reaction to COVID-19, but as a legislative strategy to resolve long-standing disputes over which values and histories are taught in public classrooms. Episode Highlights & Timecodes: [00:08:49] – Intro: Neal McCluskey on Fighting for the Freedom to Learn. [00:13:20] – Challenging the "1950s" narrative: The true historical roots of school choice. [00:18:15] – The Horace Mann legacy: How common schooling fueled early cultural conflict. [00:23:50] – Civil rights and minority perspectives on controlling education.

Join The Rebuilt Man Brotherhood - www.skool.com/rebootyourlife   Porn doesn't just impact your brain, your sex drive, or your ability to control an urge.   It changes the way you relate to almost everything that matters in your life.   Yourself. Your wife. Your kids. Other men. Women. Sex. Hard things. Your purpose. God. And ultimately, life itself.   In this episode of The Rebuilt Man Podcast, Coach Frank Rich explores one of the most overlooked consequences of porn addiction: disconnection.   Porn creates a counterfeit version of intimacy—connection without vulnerability, rejection, sacrifice, patience, or commitment. And over time, that false connection can quietly weaken your capacity to experience the real thing.   But the opposite is also true.   When you remove porn and begin rebuilding your life, your relationships can begin changing in ways that go far beyond simply becoming "porn-free."   Frank breaks down 10 relationships that can transform on the other side of porn addiction and why lasting recovery isn't just about sobriety—it's about learning how to connect again.     In This Episode, You'll Discover: Why porn can create the illusion of connection while producing deeper isolation   How years of broken promises around porn can destroy your self-trust, confidence, and integrity   Why quitting porn can change the way you see, love, and connect with your wife   The difference between consuming sexuality and experiencing real sex and intimacy   How porn can rob your children of your presence, even when you're physically there   Why genuine brotherhood and accountability are so powerful in porn addiction recovery   How using porn as an escape can change your relationship with stress, discomfort, and doing hard things   Why quitting porn isn't enough if you're still constantly sexualizing women, chasing thirst traps, and feeding fantasy   How freedom can redirect your attention toward work, mission, purpose, and building a meaningful life   How shame surrounding porn can affect your relationship with God   Why becoming porn-free isn't the ultimate goal—becoming a Rebuilt Man is     Johann Hari famously said: "The opposite of addiction is not sobriety. It is human connection."   That's the central idea behind this conversation.   Because the goal isn't simply to remove porn and leave an empty space behind.   It's to replace counterfeit connection with something real.   To trust yourself again.   To become present with your wife and children.   To build meaningful relationships with other men.   To experience intimacy rather than consume sexuality.   To face difficult things instead of escaping them.   To pursue your purpose.   To walk more closely with God.   And ultimately, to build a life you no longer constantly need to escape from.   Porn promised connection and gave you isolation. Freedom gives you the opportunity to reconnect with what actually matters.     Ready To Stop Fighting This Alone? If you've tried quitting porn over and over again but keep finding yourself back in the same cycle, maybe another strategy isn't the only thing you need.   Maybe you need connection, coaching, accountability, and brotherhood.   Inside The Rebuilt Man Brotherhood, you'll join other men committed to breaking free from porn and rebuilding their integrity, identity, marriage, faith, discipline, and leadership.   Come experience the Brotherhood free for 7 days, join the coaching calls, meet the men, and start doing the work alongside people who understand the battle.   Join The Rebuilt Man Brotherhood and start your free 7-day trial today. -  www.skool.com/rebootyourlife   Get your copy of Porn Free Man If this episode resonated with you, Porn Free Man is the next step.   Inside the book, Coach Frank Rich walks you through the exact identity-based framework that's helped more than 1,800 men break free from porn and rebuild every area of their lives.   Learn how to stop managing addiction and start becoming the man who no longer wants, needs, or desires porn.

LESSON 245Your Peace Is With Me, Father. I Am Safe.Your peace surrounds me, Father. Where I go, Your peace goes there with me. It sheds its light on everyone I meet. I bring it to the desolate and lonely and afraid. I give Your peace to those who suffer pain, or grieve for loss, or think they are bereft of hope and happiness. Send them to me, my Father. Let me bring Your peace with me. For I would save Your Son, as is Your Will, that I may come to recognize my Self.And so we go in peace.To all the world we give the message that we have received. And thus we come to hear the Voice for God, Who speaks to us as we relate His Word; Whose Love we recognize because we share the Word that He has given unto us.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

Breht sits down with philosopher Colin Bodayle for a wide-ranging exploration of Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit, one of the most influential and notoriously difficult works in modern philosophy. Together they unpack Hegel's account of consciousness, contradiction, freedom, recognition, history, and the dialectical movement through which human beings come to understand themselves and the world. Along the way, the conversation traces Hegel's immense influence on Marx and considers why his philosophy remains so important for anyone trying to think seriously about liberation, social transformation, and the development of human consciousness. ---------------------------------------------------------- Check out our Summer RLR Merch HERE Learn more about Rev Left HERE Check out Unlearning Capitalism for more political educational resources
