The Trump administration's decision to pause five offshore wind power farms that were already under construction may have indirectly stalled bipartisan permitting negotiations on the Hill. It's a development that comes as the midterm elections are less than a year away, energy prices are skyrocketing, and congressional permitting reform has support from almost everyone in the U.S. energy industry. POLITICO's Josh Siegel and Kelsey Tamborrino discuss how Trump's attack on offshore wind could deal a crippling blow to congressional permitting reform.  Kelsey Tamborrino is a reporter covering clean energy for POLITICO.

What if the grief you've been pushing away is trying to tell you something? In this mini episode, I open the vault on my live Q&A with Biology of Freeze students. These are the real questions people ask when they're in the deep work. The answers might surprise you. A caregiver asked how to show up for her family while grief keeps pulling her under. A practitioner wondered why her autoimmune clients can't take action. I share the exact practice I use when grief hits like a wave. Spoiler: it's not positive thinking. It's not pushing through. It's pausing long enough to let that part of you feel heard. In this episode you'll hear more about: The grief practice no one taught us: Why ignoring emotions or "staying positive" abandons the hurting part. I share the phrase I say out loud when grief shows up. It starts with: "I'm having a feeling right now." How to stay present to pain without drowning: The physical gesture I use to stay connected instead of numbing. It's not about making it go away. It's about not leaving that part alone. What grief is really pointing to: Behind every wave is something you deeply value. Give it space. You'll get clarity on how you want to live. Generational trauma lives in the body: I break down how ancestral patterns show up in beliefs, sensations, and even DNA. The good news? All of it can be rewired. Why autoimmune clients can't take action: This isn't motivation. It's learned helplessness from early overwhelm. The roots often start before you could talk. Body work sending you into shutdown? If dental work or sauna leave you crashed for weeks, it might not be emotional. Your detox pathways might not keep up. Music as nervous system medicine: Not all calming music actually calms you. I explain what tempo range shifts your heart rate. Our grief isn't a problem to solve. It's a messenger pointing us toward what matters most.

A federal court denied then–U.S. Virgin Islands Attorney General Denise George's request to freeze the Epstein estate's bank accounts after determining that the extraordinary relief she sought was not supported by the procedural posture of the case. George argued that an immediate freeze was necessary to prevent the dissipation of assets while the territory pursued civil enforcement claims tied to Epstein's sex trafficking operation. The court, however, found that the request did not meet the high legal threshold required for such an action, emphasizing concerns about due process and the absence of a sufficient showing that assets were in imminent danger of being improperly transferred or concealed.The denial had significant consequences for the USVI's broader strategy. Without a freeze in place, the estate retained control over its funds as litigation continued, allowing money to flow toward legal fees, administration costs, and the victims' compensation program. Critics argued that the ruling weakened the territory's leverage and accelerated the depletion of resources that could have supported deeper discovery and enforcement. For George, the decision became emblematic of the systemic barriers facing efforts to aggressively pursue Epstein's estate, reinforcing her claim that legal and institutional structures consistently favored containment and closure over transparency and accountability.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

In this episode, senior reporter Carmela Mendoza sits down with Sabina Comis, global managing partner, and Kenneth Young, a partner and co-chair of the corporate and securities practice at Dechert, to unpack key findings from the law firm's 2026 Global Private Equity Outlook. The survey results, gathered from 100 senior-level executives at global PE firms with at least $2.5 billion in AUM, highlight creative deal structures and the importance of distributions for LPs. The results provide insight into where the asset class may be heading in the next 12 months. The discussion centres on the gradual thawing of traditional exit channels. The pair outline the most promising opportunities for capital deployment in 2026. The episode also explores why more GPs plan to make management stake divestitures in the next 24 months and the regional differences behind them; how capital pools are developing to keep companies private for longer; and why future product design of semi-liquid funds could address concerns around valuations.

Hello, hello — and welcome back to Greedy Bitch, the podcast for groomers who are done apologizing for wanting more. I'm your host, River Lee, founder of The Savvy Groomer, and if you're new here — this show is where we talk about the real stuff behind running a grooming business. The money, the mindset, the boundaries — and all the messy middle that comes with it. And listen… we're hitting that time of year again. The holidays. When every human being on Earth seems to lose their mind just a little bit. Clients are calling last minute. Everyone suddenly “forgot” that Christmas comes the same day every year. People are cranky, tired, stressed — including you. But here's the truth, my friend: This isn't just about the holidays. This is the highlight reel of who people really are under pressure. So today, we're going to talk about recognizing the patterns we've been ignoring. Today's episode is “Data Don't Lie: Fix, Freeze, or Fire ” I'm going to help you decide how to tell when someone — a client, an employee, even a coworker — has crossed the line from stressful… to unacceptable. And even better — how to stop guessing, and start collecting data so that come January, you're making clear, confident decisions instead of emotional, exhausted ones. Alright — deep breath. Grab your notebook, grab your coffee, and let's get into it. Alright, so last podcast we talked about the patterns we may be been ignoring,from clients, the staff, the people who are testing your patience. Now we're going to flip the script — because this isn't just about them. It's also about you. You can't talk about red flags without looking at your own dashboard lights. Because burnout doesn't show up with a neon sign that says, “You're done.” It creeps in quietly. It starts small — and before you know it, you're running on caffeine, resentment, and survival mode. Let's be real: groomers are masters at pushing through. We'll skip lunch, ignore back pain, and say, “It's fine, I'll rest after Christmas.” But spoiler alert — “after Christmas” never actually comes, does it? Then suddenly it's March and you're wondering why you're crying in your van between grooms. Sound familiar? So, let's treat burnout like what it really is — data. It's feedback from your body, your brain, your business. Let's talk about your stress metrics. Here are a few I want you to start tracking this month. Nothing fancy — just awareness. How many meals did you skip this week? How many times did you vent about a client or coworker instead of celebrating a win? How many nights did you go home too tired to eat or shower? How many mornings did you wake up with dread instead of drive? If those numbers are creeping up — that's not weakness. That's information. We tend to think of data as spreadsheets and numbers — but this? This is emotional bookkeeping. Your skipped lunch is a data point. Your frustration is a data point. That Sunday night anxiety that makes your chest tight? Yep — that's data too. And if you're feeling “off,” you don't need to explain it away. You need to listen to it. Your mind and body are basically the employees that never stop working — and they've been filing complaints for months. You just keep ignoring HR. If your business had an HR department, you'd already have three write-ups from your own nervous system. So here's your wake-up call — start treating your burnout like a KPI. You track revenue, you track bookings, you track shampoo inventory — why not track your energy? Because if your stress is up 40% and your patience is down 80%, it doesn't matter what your profit margin looks like. You're not actually winning. Now, I know some of you are thinking, “River, it's the holidays — of course I'm tired!” Sure. But there's tired… and then there's tapped out. Tired is normal. You rest, you recover, you're fine. Tapped out is when you wake up and think, “I physically can't do this anymore.” Tapped out is when you start fantasizing about quitting grooming entirely, moving to a cabin, and living off grid with twelve cats. (And listen, I've been there.) That's why these stress metrics matter — because they help you catch it early. Here's the pattern I want you to start noticing: When you're at or near capacity, your behavior shifts. You start snapping at small things. You start resenting the clients you used to adore. You start dreading calls and messages that didn't used to bother you. And that's not you “being negative.” That's your energy account going into overdraft. You cannot keep writing checks from a balance that's already empty. So instead of powering through December like a martyr, I want you to start collecting proof. Proof that your business model might need adjusting. Proof that certain clients or staff members are draining more than they're contributing. Proof that you're not crazy — you're just overloaded. Maybe you've outgrown your current schedule. Maybe you need a buffer day each week. Maybe your prices don't actually reflect the level of effort you're giving. Whatever it is — your burnout is trying to tell you something. Let me give you an example. Let's say you find yourself venting about the same client every week — the one who constantly picks fights or questions your prices. That's not “just venting.” That's an alarm bell. Or you notice that every Friday, your body feels wrecked, your temper's short, and your employees avoid eye contact. That's not “holiday stress.” That's a system issue — maybe scheduling, maybe culture, maybe leadership load. Whatever it is — it's not a moral failure. It's a data point. Take your feelings seriously. They're not random. They're reporting. If you're venting more than you're grooming — it's time for a change. And that change doesn't have to be dramatic. It might just mean saying no to one extra dog a day. Or finally letting go of the client who's been emotionally exhausting you since 2018. Or maybe it's delegating — hiring that assistant you keep saying you can't “afford.” Because here's the truth — you can't afford not to. You can't grow a sustainable business on burnout. You can't build wealth when your health is tanking. And you sure as hell can't lead others if you're falling apart behind the table. So here's your assignment for this week: Keep tracking your external red flags — but add yourself to the list. Ask: Am I respecting my own boundaries as much as I expect clients to? Am I honoring my own needs as much as I demand others honor my policies? Because if you don't treat yourself like a valued employee, no one else will either. You can't attract respectful clients while disrespecting your own limits. You deserve a business that doesn't burn you alive every holiday season. You deserve to come home and still have enough energy left to eat dinner, to laugh, to actually live. So start using your burnout as a compass. If something keeps draining you — don't shame it, study it. Because that's where your next boundary belongs. Alright — you've been collecting data. You've tracked the red flags. You've been observing the patterns — not just in other people, but in yourself. Now what? It's time to make decisions. And not emotional, spur-of-the-moment, “I swear if she texts me one more time…” decisions. No — I'm talking about strategic, intentional decisions that protect your peace and your profit. And to do that, I want you to use my favorite end-of-year framework: Fix, Freeze, or Fire. This is the moment where you stop surviving the season and start designing the next one. FIX Let's start with the most hopeful one: Fix. This is for the relationships — clients, team members, even vendors — that are worth saving. Not every problem means someone's toxic. Sometimes it just means someone needs direction. If a client's late but apologetic, or a bather keeps forgetting to restock but genuinely wants to improve — that's fixable. You fix those situations with conversation, not confrontation. That means pulling them aside and saying something like, “Hey, I noticed you've been late a few times. I know it's a busy season, but I need you to plan to arrive ten minutes early so we stay on track.” It's calm, it's clear, and it's actionable. Or for clients, “I totally understand you're running behind, but I have to stay on schedule for everyone else. In January, I'll be enforcing my late policy again so I can protect everyone's time.” Boom. You've reestablished the boundary without turning it into a battle. Fixing is about leadership. It's choosing to teach, not tolerate. To redirect, not resent. Sometimes the people in your business don't even realize what they're doing until you show them. But — and this is key — once you've taught, once you've communicated clearly, once you've documented it… If it still keeps happening? You move to phase two. FREEZE Now, this one's my secret weapon. Freeze means pause, limit, or put a boundary in writing. Think of it like business probation — not punishment, but structure. You're saying, “Hey, something's not working here, and before I make a final decision, I need to see some change.” Maybe that means reducing how often you see that client. If they always flake on Saturdays, move them to a weekday. If they keep arguing about price, switch them to prepay only. Or for staff — maybe you take that bather off certain dogs until they're retrained. Maybe you limit how many big dogs your team handles per day to reduce burnout. It's not punitive — it's preventative. You're freezing the pattern before it becomes permanent. And listen, sometimes “freezing” just means putting your own damn self in timeout. You ever get so frustrated with someone that you think, “If I respond right now, I'm gonna say something I can't unsay”? Yeah. That's a self-freeze moment. Walk away. Breathe. Write it down. Then come back when you can lead from logic, not adrenaline. Freezing gives you time to see if someone's coachable — or just comfortable. Because if you freeze the relationship and they use that time to grow, awesome! You've salvaged something worth keeping. But if you freeze it and they just keep proving your point? Then you're ready for the last phase. FIRE You knew this one was coming. Sometimes you've given the grace, the guidance, the boundaries — and they still don't respect you. That's when it's time to bless and release. Now, I know that sounds easy, but I also know how hard it really is. Because firing — whether it's a client, an employee, or a friend in the grooming community — triggers all the people-pleaser guilt we've been trained to carry. You start thinking, “What if they badmouth me?” “What if I lose income?” “What if I'm overreacting?” But let me tell you something — You're not losing money when you fire a toxic client. You're reclaiming the emotional bandwidth that's been costing you far more than they ever paid you. You can't attract soulmate clients or healthy team members when your roster is full of energy vampires. And listen — “fire” doesn't always mean dramatic or nasty. It doesn't need to be a soap opera moment. It can sound like: “Hey, I think we've outgrown each other. I wish you the best.” Professional. Calm. Final. You don't have to light bridges on fire — but you also don't need to keep rebuilding ones that collapse every time someone walks across them. Sometimes the kindest thing you can do — for both of you — is let them go. Now, let's talk about the ripple effect of that decision. Because when you fire someone — client, staff, or even a process that's no longer serving you — you create space. Space for peace. Space for profit. Space for better people to find you. The universe doesn't reward tolerance; it rewards alignment. And when you release the wrong people, you make room for the right ones to show up. January isn't about resolutions — it's about realignment. The data you collect this month tells you who stays, who goes, and what needs to change so next year actually feels different. Because here's the truth — you can't fix what you refuse to face. And you can't scale what's secretly suffocating you. So as you go through your notes — all those little observations you've been writing down all December — ask yourself: Who's adding to my peace? Who's neutral? And who's constantly taking more than they give? That's your Fix, Freeze, Fire map right there. You know how we say, “Not every dog is a good fit for every groomer”? Well, not every human is a good fit for your business, either. And that's okay. That's not failure — that's discernment. This is the power of this process. It's not emotional — it's intentional. It's about reclaiming your authority as the leader of your business. You've spent too many years apologizing for wanting respect, for needing boundaries, for saying, “This isn't working.” But the truth is, your peace is profitable. And the sooner you start honoring it, the faster everything else falls into place. So take that notebook, take your red-yellow-green lists, and start deciding who and what gets to come with you into next year. Because you've earned the right to be selective. Alright, my friend — take a deep breath. This season will test you, no doubt. But remember: the chaos isn't here to destroy you. It's here to reveal you. You've worked too hard to build a business that makes you miserable. You deserve peace. You deserve profit. You deserve respect. Start collecting your data now, because come January, you're going to make moves — not excuses. And when you do?

The primary focus of today's discussion centers upon the ongoing adverse weather conditions impacting various regions across the United States. As articulated, the National Weather Service has issued numerous warnings and advisories, particularly in the east and Great Lakes, where lake effect snow and severe cold conditions persist. Furthermore, we delve into the flood warnings affecting the Skagit River and the repercussions of a recent magnitude 4.0 earthquake in California, which, while not resulting in significant damage, has prompted caution regarding aftershocks. The episode also addresses hazardous travel conditions in the Los Angeles area due to dense fog and high winds in Montana, underscoring the diverse and severe weather phenomena currently in play. We conclude with a reminder of the importance of preparedness as these conditions evolve, urging listeners to prioritize their safety amidst these challenges.A comprehensive overview of the current meteorological conditions reveals a predominantly weather-driven scenario with significant implications for various regions across the United States. The National Weather Service has issued lake effect snow warnings for areas adjacent to Lakes Erie and Ontario, highlighting the persistent and severe cold that dominates the eastern parts of the country, while freeze alerts extend precariously down to the northern Gulf Coast. The discussion further elaborates on the ongoing flood crisis in Washington State, exacerbated by another deluge of rain from the Cascade Mountains, necessitating renewed vigilance as levels surge above flood stage once more. The seismic activity is also noteworthy, as a magnitude 4.0 earthquake rattled Sonoma County, California, prompting the acknowledgment of potential aftershocks, albeit with no immediate reports of significant damage. This episode serves as a crucial reminder of the unpredictable and often perilous nature of weather phenomena, urging listeners to remain informed and prepared for extreme conditions.Takeaways:* The National Weather Service warns of persistent cold weather and snow across the eastern states. * California experienced a magnitude 4.0 earthquake, with minor aftershocks but no significant damage reported. * Flood warnings are currently in effect for the Skagit River as rain increases water levels above flood stage. * Dense fog is impacting visibility in the Los Angeles area, making commutes hazardous this morning. * Freeze warnings are in place across parts of Florida, indicating significant cold weather conditions ahead. * A statewide state of preparedness has been declared in West Virginia due to expected snowfall and plunging temperatures.

"I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth." That was President John Kennedy in 1961, speaking at the Joint Session of Congress. It is possibly the best example of a project statement ever made.  Links: Email Me | Twitter | Facebook | Website | Linkedin Join the Time And Life Mastery Programme here.

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show.  Starting projects. It can be tough. Where do you start? Where will you find the time? And what do you need to do?  These are just some of the questions you will find yourself asking.  Yet the biggest obstacle to completing a project on time is overthinking and over-planning. Thinking about and planning a project are not the same as working on one. Working on a project is doing something that moves it forward.  Decorating your bedroom will require paint and brushes. The only pre-project decision you need to make is what colour.  The first two steps, therefore, are:  Decide what colour to paint the bedroom Buy paint and brushes I would add a third decision: when. When will you do it?  Once you've done those three things, you're ready to go—no more planning, no more thinking. Just get on and start.  Yet, that's not how most projects go, is it? There's thinking, planning, then creating tasks in your task manager, and if it's a work project, a meeting, then perhaps another meeting.  Often, by the time a project is conceived, 80% of the time required to complete it gets spent on thinking, planning, and meetings.  And that brings us nicely to this week's question—a question about finding ways to reduce the thinking and planning time.  So, let me now hand you over to the Mystery Podcast voice for this week's question. This week's question comes from Phil. Phil asks, “Hi Carl, how do you work on complex projects?” I find I spend a lot of time planning a project, end up with a long list of things to do, and when it comes to starting, I freeze. It's as if I don't know where to start. Do you have any tips on handling this type of problem? Hi Phil, thank you for your question.  “Project freeze” is a common problem for many people. I suspect this stems from the belief that every aspect of a project needs to be planned before starting. Yet, for many projects, this would be impossible.  Imagine you were part of NASA in May 1961, and you'd just heard President Kennedy's speech at the joint session of Congress about why the US should put a man on the moon and bring him back safely to earth before the end of the decade.  At that time, NASA was struggling to get even the smallest of rockets into space—the idea of sending astronauts to the moon and back was a pipe dream.  Yet a group of incredible people at NASA in 1961 took on the challenge. Instead of planning every single step they thought would be needed to complete the project, they looked at what they already knew, the obstacles they would need to overcome, and the first steps. That gave birth to the Mercury space mission. The Mercury programme was not to put a man on the moon; its objectives were to orbit a crewed spacecraft around Earth, study the human ability to function in space, and ensure the safe recovery of both the astronaut and the spacecraft. Before they could reach the moon, they needed to understand how humans cope in space. So the project's objective was to send a man into Earth's orbit.  The key was to get started, and they did this by listing out the obstacles they needed to overcome first. They then worked out how to remove those obstacles.  Now, I know our projects are unlikely to be as big as sending someone to the moon and back, but we can adopt the same approach that NASA used to work on our projects.  Even small projects can adopt this approach. Let's say you were asked to do a presentation on the likely effects of AI on your company's business over the next five years. Where would you start?  For something like this, there would be several phases.  The first would be to research and gather information. For this, the task would likely be to find out who to ask or what to read.  Okay, when will you do this?  Here's the key point. It's no good just deciding what needs to be done first. You need to make it intentional, and to do that, you will need to set aside time to do it.  Perhaps you decide to give yourself an afternoon to research this.  Research is a challenge in itself. We can go down rabbit holes that bring no meaningful insights into what we are trying to do. Yet, we can also underestimate how much time is required for research. So the first step is to do an initial session of research to help you develop some boundaries.  You might be lucky and find that the first research session gives you everything you need to start the presentation. However, if not, and you discover you need to do more research, then when will you do that?  One thing you can do with creating a presentation is to set up your PowerPoint or Keynote file. Create the document, do the first slide and perhaps set the theme colours.  Having a document started makes it much easier to get into creating the presentation.  The danger of listing out all the things you think you need to do to complete the project is that 80% of what you think needs to be done doesn't, and you will find that 80% of what ends up being done were things you never thought of in the first place.  All you really need is a starting point.  I recently did a video on how to write a book. The number one reason people who want to write but never do write a book is that they overthink and plan it.  Thinking and planning do not produce a book.  The best way to write a book is to get the first draft written as fast as you can. All that is required is a few ideas about what you want to write about. From there, you start writing the first draft.  The first draft will be the worst state your book will ever be in. It's meant to be messy, unstructured and occasionally unreadable.  But, once you have a first draft, you have around 80,000 words you can manipulate, craft and organise into a best seller. Without that first draft, you have nothing but a few ideas. How do you write a first draft? Set aside time each day to write. An hour or two every day for eight weeks will give you your first draft.  As you write, new ideas will form, and you can make a note of those along the way. That will make your editing easier.  The common denominator with any project is to get started. Everything has a starting point. Wherever that is, start there.  It's as you are working on the project that your next steps reveal themselves.  When I first began creating online courses, I had no idea what I was doing. But what I did have was fifteen years of teaching experience, and I knew how to create a lesson plan.  I also knew what I wanted to create an online course on. So I could create a lesson plan and a topic. That was where I started.  Once I had a lesson plan, I realised I needed a storyboard of sorts to help me break the course down into lessons. That evolved into the outline I have written for every course I have created since.  Now, after eight years of creating courses, I have a process I follow. All I need is a topic and time to plan, outline, record, edit and post. (Five steps)  On big projects, many tasks are completed before the project ends. Yet, if you were to try to predict what needs to be done at the start, you will find you are wasting a lot of time.  NASA had no idea whether a human being could survive in space. What they did know was that they needed to develop a reliable rocket to get them into space. So, they began with that. Without the rocket, it didn't matter whether a human could survive in space or not. There would have been no way of getting them there.  In 1962, NASA didn't know that they would need software to keep the spacecraft on the right trajectory. There was no way they could have planned for that at that point. It was only when they began working on the Gemini programme that they realised software would be needed.  Without paint and brushes, it wouldn't matter what colour you wanted to paint your bedroom.  In many ways, when you're working on a large, complex project, you're solving problems as you go along. Yet, there's always going to be a starting point.  Another thing about bigger projects is setting a deadline.  Because we are not sure how long a large project will take to complete, it can be tempting to set an unrealistic deadline. Three months to complete a project that realistically would take twelve. This is why setting up the project's stages will help you.  What's the first stage? Give yourself a realistic time frame to complete that first stage. The information you gather during that first stage will guide you with the deadlines for the next stage.  I would also take another leaf from NASA's book. President Kennedy said, “before the decade is out”. Given that he made this speech in 1961, NASA had around 9 years to complete the project. Yet it was not absolute.  Theoretically, the deadline was 31 December 1969, but the actual deadline was a grey area until NASA got closer to achieving the goal.  Deadlines are good as they bring energy to the project. Yet, unrealistic deadlines bring nothing but stress to a project.  I know an online course will take me about 6 weeks to complete. I know the process, and I've learned from experience that the whole process takes six weeks.  If I were to stop doing all my other work, close my calendar to appointments and work solidly for fourteen hours a day for two weeks, I might be able to complete the course in two weeks, but all I would have is a lot of stress. Not pleasant.  Six weeks gives me time to bring the course to life, check things, and make sure everything fits together.  And the final part of developing any project is to be clear about your outcomes.  I refer you back to the opening quotation from President Kennedy: "I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth." A perfect project outcome statement. It's clear about the objective, and there is a timeline. There was nothing else for NASA to know. President Kennedy didn't have the skills or knowledge to do this himself; that was for the scientists and engineers to work out.  Something they did with magnificent effort on the 20th July 1969.  Thank you, Phil, for your question and thank you to you, too, for listening. It just remains for me to wish you all a very, very productive week.

I especially like the ones in a plastic container as when thawing they make No Mess!! UPDATE ON THAT GEORGIA TURKEY HUNTING STORY Update on a story that stirred up hunters across the country. Back in April, a Georgia teen shot what he believed was a wild turkey on his family's 11-acre property. He posted a proud photo online—his very first turkey. But the situation turned upside down when a neighbor, who also happened to be his former teacher, claimed the bird was actually her pet domestic turkey. A Georgia DNR officer investigated and confirmed the hunt happened legally on the teen's own land. No baiting, no violations, nothing illegal. But even after the DNR declined to file charges, the sheriff's office did—charging the teen with felony animal cruelty. That charge led to a school suspension and forced him to move out of state while he waited for his court date. The family said he had no way of knowing the turkey belonged to anyone. It had no tags or markers, and the domestic breed he shot looked similar enough to a wild turkey that a young hunter could easily mistake it. The case sparked a lot of debate in the small town of Waverly Hall and across the hunting community. Many felt the situation had gone way too far. And now the update: In November, a Harris County juvenile court judge found the teen NOT GUILTY, bringing an end to a six-month legal battle. The judge ruled he did not commit the felony he was accused of. So what started as a proud first hunt became a national story—but now, at last, the teen has been cleared.

Fifty-three-year-old Terry Sellers pleaded guilty to multiple wildlife violations after a state investigation found he illegally killed three massive whitetail bucks on prison property in Lauderdale County. The deer had a combined gross score of more than 490 inches. Wildlife officers say the case broke when reports surfaced about a huge 15-point double drop-tine buck known to roam near the penitentiary. Investigators used smartphone location data to link Sellers to the kills. A judge ordered Sellers to pay $17,500 in restitution, $850 for taxidermy costs, and suspended his hunting privileges for six years. The mounted deer heads will be used in educational displays by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency.

Chris breaks down explosive new developments as House Democrats release photos from Jeffrey Epstein’s private island and New York estate, reportedly showing high-profile figures including Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Steve Bannon, and Prince Andrew. The show also dives into a dining hall disaster at USC, where students claim maggots, stink bugs, and other pests have turned meals into a health concern. Plus, a wildly entertaining Talk Backs segment asks listeners to confess the grossest thing they’ve ever eaten—with responses ranging from bugs to urine and beyond. Wrapping it up, Chris examines the Los Angeles City Council’s decision to freeze and scale back funding intended to hire more LAPD officers, and what that means for public safety. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A federal court denied then–U.S. Virgin Islands Attorney General Denise George's request to freeze the Epstein estate's bank accounts after determining that the extraordinary relief she sought was not supported by the procedural posture of the case. George argued that an immediate freeze was necessary to prevent the dissipation of assets while the territory pursued civil enforcement claims tied to Epstein's sex trafficking operation. The court, however, found that the request did not meet the high legal threshold required for such an action, emphasizing concerns about due process and the absence of a sufficient showing that assets were in imminent danger of being improperly transferred or concealed.The denial had significant consequences for the USVI's broader strategy. Without a freeze in place, the estate retained control over its funds as litigation continued, allowing money to flow toward legal fees, administration costs, and the victims' compensation program. Critics argued that the ruling weakened the territory's leverage and accelerated the depletion of resources that could have supported deeper discovery and enforcement. For George, the decision became emblematic of the systemic barriers facing efforts to aggressively pursue Epstein's estate, reinforcing her claim that legal and institutional structures consistently favored containment and closure over transparency and accountability.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In this episode of The Prophets, Rashad and Kev dive into the wild week in college football, starting with the breaking news that Sherrone Moore was fired on his day off after an inappropriate relationship with a staff member — as a married man. We give our unfiltered thoughts on the situation and what it means for Michigan moving forward. Then we shift to the College Football Playoff and its classic inconsistencies. We break down why Notre Dame could get frozen out by multiple teams, what that means for their postseason path, and how the new format still doesn't guarantee fairness. To close the show, we head back to the NFL: the Chiefs are cooked. We break down their path to the playoffs, the flaws catching up to them, and why the Prophets believe this might finally be the year the magic runs out.

If your horse seems "quiet"… but something feels off... this episode is for you. Shutdown horses often look calm, obedient, or easy… yet on the inside there is a different story at play. They may feel disconnected, disinterested, flat, or robotic... or go from calm to explosive without warning. And while these signs can be subtle, they matter. Shutdown behaviours arent laziness or compliance. It's a nervous system response asking for support. In this episode, I break down: The real signs of shutdown: Freeze responses, "lights on no one home", obedience without connection, quietness masking overwhelm, sudden explosions, apearing "fine" but feeling off Why shutdown responses: How horses enter freeze when earlier attempts at communication weren't understood… why this isn't a training issue but feedback… and how past experiences and pressure-based environments shape shutdown tendencies. Why recognising shutdown behaviours is important: For deeper connection, a stronger relationship, more natural motivation - and most importantly, safety. How to help your horse open back up: The 5 foundations I use with shutdown, spooky, reactive, and sensitive horses. The inner skills you'll need along the way: Patience, attunement, emotional awareness, intuitive listening, letting go of pressure and timelines, and reinforcing the behaviours you do want. Plus, I share transformation stories (Shorty + Ella) that illustrate what's possible when a shutdown horse finally feels safe to feel again, and how quickly connection, softness, and engagement return. If you've ever felt like your horse is here with you… but not really with you... this episode will help you understand why, and what steps to take next. ✨ FREE RESOURCE: To get started with a clear plan, download my Prepare Your Horse For Any Environment checklist - it's the exact foundation I use with all horses to build confidence step by step. ✨ Want deeper support?

"Americans won't riot. They'll freeze — and they'll obey," warns Chase Hughes, one of the nation's most elite behavioral strategists. As nearly $11 trillion shifts quietly beneath the financial system, Hughes says the public is being conditioned for a collapse far bigger than anything seen in 2008. The danger isn't just the economic fallout; it's how people will react when the trigger finally snaps. In today's interview, Hughes exposes the psychological techniques used to keep citizens compliant during crisis, why confusion is the most powerful modern weapon, and how engineered division is setting the stage for a controlled collapse. He connects the dots between political violence, vanishing social trust, and the sweeping monetary restructuring happening behind closed doors.✅ FREE RESOURCESDownload The Private Wealth Playbook — a data-backed guide to strategically acquiring gold and silver for maximum protection, privacy, and performance.

Your nervous system has a built-in Freeze and Appease response to manage the threat of sexual assault, aka the Fawn response. Learn to forgive yourself and train to respond differently. Learn the skills to Regulate your Emotions, join the membership: https://courses.therapyinanutshell.com/membership When someone experiences sexual harassment or sexual assault, their body often doesn't react the way they expect. Instead of fighting or running, they might freeze, fawn, or appease—smiling, complying, or going still, even when they feel terrified inside. In this video, we'll explore the Freeze and Fawn Response—sometimes called the Freeze-Appease Response—and how these instinctive reactions are the body's way of trying to stay safe during sexual violence or threat. You'll learn what happens in the nervous system during a freeze response, why people can't “just say no,” and how understanding this can help survivors release shame and start to heal. This is essential education for survivors, loved ones, and anyone who wants to understand trauma responses with compassion and science. If you've ever blamed yourself for how you reacted during sexual harassment or sexual assault, please know: it wasn't your fault. Your body was trying to keep you alive.

In therapy I use a combination of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Systems Theory, positive psychology, and a bio-psycho-social approach to treating mental illness and other challenges we all face in life. The ideas from my videos are frequently adapted from multiple sources. Many of them come from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, especially the work of Steven Hayes, Jason Luoma, and Russ Harris. The sections on stress and the mind-body connection derive from the work of Stephen Porges (the Polyvagal theory), Peter Levine (Somatic Experiencing) Francine Shapiro (EMDR), and Bessel Van Der Kolk. I also rely heavily on the work of the Arbinger Institute for my overall understanding of our ability to choose our life's direction.

Socialism Comes to New York — Cliff May — May critiques New York City Mayor-elect Momdani's socialist-oriented policies, arguing that aggressive rent freeze mechanisms systematically diminish housing stock availability, reduce construction incentives, and undermine long-term affordability through supply contraction. May warns that additional socialist initiatives including fare-free public transportation and police defunding drive middle-class residents toward suburban and exurban jurisdictions. May cites Venezuelan economic collapse and continuing socialism failure across multiple jurisdictions as empirical evidence that socialist economic models fundamentally cannot function effectively in complex modern capitalist economies like New York City. 1888 five points
