On this episode of the podcast, Congressman Randy Weber, women's sports advocate Paula Scanlan, and Dr. Peter McCullough all join podcast host Amanda Head for a conversation about how we can continue defending our republic despite living in a ‘woke-dominant' world. Rep. Randy Weber (R-TX) outlines the growing threat of Iran and highlights the national security urgency of sealing the southern border. He contrasts Biden's failure with Trump's effective border and immigration policies, especially those that benefited the agricultural labor market.Meanwhile, Paula Scanlan breaks down a recent House Republican bill that blocks federal funding for gender transition procedures. The pair react to the U.S. Supreme Court's decision upholding Tennessee's ban on gender surgeries for minors and expose the hypocrisy of Democrats pushing radical trans policies despite a New York Times poll showing most Americans — including 67% of Democrats — oppose men in women's sports. Scanlan also slams the NCAA for abandoning female athletes and issues a call to action for more women to speak out.And finally, Dr. Peter McCullough joins to unpack the latest Omicron subvariant “NB 1.8.1”—nicknamed “Nimbus” and why nasal hygiene products like Immune Mist and Spry could be vital for prevention. He also praises General Mills and Heinz for moving away from toxic artificial dyes by 2027, warns about the dangers of gender transition treatments for children with autism, and renews his call to ban pharmaceutical ads to restore trust in the media. Dr. McCullough ends by endorsing Trump's idea of giving $1,000 stock market accounts to every newborn as a bold investment in America's future.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

She is also considered a leading expert in entrepreneurship, growth mindset, and female leadership and has been sought out for profiles and opinion from publications such as Inc., Forbes, WWD, NPR, Allure and Vogue.

Three Swords

Glyphosate is a toxic carcinogenic chemical found in RoundUp, a weedkiller that is routinely sprayed on our lawns and crops. But the bad news doesn't stop there! It is making its way into the food we eat, the air, and the water. Worse still, the maker of glyphosate, Bayer, is working on passing liability shield legislation so that they cannot be sued for the way the poison in their products is affecting the nation! Today, Kelly Ryerson, known as the Glyphosate Girl, explains why she is working so hard to inform the public about the dangers of glyphosate and the company that wants to protect itself from the fallout of the harm it is causing. Kelly goes over the legislation that is being considered in various states across the country. She also explains why glyphosate is so damaging, how it personally affected her own life, and how a General Mills whistleblower helped her to connect the dots about it all. Update: The liability legislation being considered in North Dakota, at the time of the interview, has since been passed in that state.   Visit Kelly's websites: americanregeneration.org and glyphosatefacts.com Become a member of the Weston A.

The CPGGUYS are joined in this episode by Shaan Modi, from New Jersey. Shaan is still in high school but was spotted by us at CAGNY (the annual consumer analysts gathering with senior CPG brand leaders) down in Florida in February. We observed him attend several sessions, and we quite surprised to see someone from Gen Z in this conference. We asked him what he thought, and his answers both intrigued and challenged our own biases of how he saw the notion of a 'brand'. We decided to bring him on the pod, he agreed, here is the episode. Enjoy the listen to what Gen Z thinks of the many brands we have spent decades building.Here's what we asked Shaan : Personal Experience & Perspective : What inspired you, as an 18-year-old, to attend CAGNY 2025, and how did you prepare to get the most out of it? Were there any moments during the conference that shifted your opinion about a brand or product?Health & Wellness Trends :Do you think the current “better-for-you” trends reflect authentic health concerns among Gen Z—or are they still mostly marketing tactics?Marketing Strategy : Which brand do you think best understands Gen Z in terms of digital-first marketing, and what made it stand out? How important is authenticity in influencer marketing to you and your peers? What makes something feel “forced” versus genuine?Innovation & Missed Opportunities : You pointed out how companies missed TikTok trends—why do you think they're slow to adapt, even when the data is right there? Do you think there's a risk in brands trying too hard to be trendy or viral? What's the right balance?If you could advise General Mills on a single product innovation to better appeal to Gen Z, what would it be?Product Development & Personalization : How important is personalization in food products for Gen Z? Would you actually use something like a custom snack box?Cultural & Social Relevance : What's one cultural or social movement you feel CPG brands are completely missing out on when it comes to Gen Z? Which viral food trend do you think has the most untapped brand potential right now?Vision for the Future : If you were to attend CAGNY 2030, what changes or evolutions would you hope to see in how brands engage with your generation?Personal Experience & Perspective?

Personal Growth and Leadership Insights with Steve Smith: A Comprehensive Guide

On this Live Greatly podcast episode, in honor of Earth Day, Kristel Bauer sits down with Erin Simon, Vice President and Head of Plastic Waste and Business of the World Wildlife Fund.  Kristel and Erin discuss actionable ways that you can make an impact around conservation, how to navigate overwhelm in the conservation space and lots more!  Tune in now! Key Takeaways From This Episode: WWF's Give an Hour for Earth campaign WWF's No plastic in nature initiative How individuals can reduce plastic use in their homes and everyday life to improve their health and the health of the planet General information about plastic pollution – how big is the problem, what are some of the solutions How to handle overwhelm when it comes to conservation  About Erin Simon: Erin's mandate is to drive positive change across industries in packaging and material sustainability—an area of action that is critical to conserving the world's natural resources, and one that is key to WWF's mission of protecting people and the planet. Since joining WWF in 2011, Erin has played an integral role in growing the partnerships, programs, and science that have made WWF a leader in solving one of most pressing environmental issues of our time: plastic pollution. In addition to helping spearhead WWF's No Plastic in Nature initiative, Erin has led the development of programs to transform the way the world—and specifically business—fights the plastic waste crisis. In 2019, her team launched ReSource: Plastic, the corporate action hub to tackle the plastic pollution crisis, and since then has built out a robust portfolio of efforts and partnerships to help companies take meaningful, ambitious steps towards circularity. Erin is one of WWF's leading experts on plastics and packaging and a key member of the WWF delegation advocating for a global plastics treaty, a first-ever international binding agreement on plastic pollution. Before WWF, Erin was a packaging engineer at HP for 10 years, responsible for the design and implementation of laser jet printer and media packaging. Erin lives in Richmond, Virginia, with her husband, daughter, and dog. When she's not working, you can find her kayaking with her family.
