This month we welcome Gareth Morgan. Gareth is based in South Wales with his wife and 2 children. Gareth has been a mortgage broker for 15 years and property investor for 10 years . He runs his mortgage brokerage Prime Property Finance with his business partner and a team of 11.    Gareth joined Property Entrepreneur in 2023 after being recommended by a friend and is now on the Advanced Programme. He shares his key takeaways from Property Entrepreneur and his progression to working on the business rather than in it.    Gareth is focused on investing for retirement and after trying a range of  strategies, now focuses on providing property for supported living providers.    Property investing is not without its challenges and whilst it's great to hear success stories, we also think it's important to cover projects which don't go to plan as that is where the biggest learnings are.    That said, we thank Gareth for being open and sharing the details on a project with its fair share of challenges.    Gareth and a business partner agreed to buy a detached property in South Wales and got Pre Application (known as Pre App) approval to convert it into 6 self contained flats with a care provider in place and 2 new builds in the rear garden.    He then bought the property and submitted the full planning application only for it to be refused. We then cover how they overcame this and the challenges with the care provider and his top tips.    The headline numbers are :    £180,000 purchase price  £200k refurb + holding costs  + £45,000 from sale of rear plot  £350,000 mortgage valuation    Cash flow £1200 pm 8.5% gross yield  17% return on cash employed  Want to contact Mark or his guests?   www.thepropertybrokerage.co.uk mark@thepropertybrokerage.co.uk   Gareth Morgan www.primeproperty.finance Instagram: @garethmorganproperty 01639 500841

What happens when the shiny promise of spiritual business mentorship loses its sparkle?In this episode of Bewitched, we sit down with Nicole Cherie Hesse—founder of Real Unicorns Don't Wear Pants—to talk about what happens when a mentorship experience veers into something… less than magical. Nicole shares her personal story of disillusionment inside a spiritual business container and the process of reclaiming her direction on the other side.We explore the difference between mentoring and manipulation, the red flags that are easy to ignore when you're under someone's spell, and how smart, intuitive women can find their way back to clarity and confidence.This conversation is a reminder: just because something is spiritual doesn't mean it's sacred. And just because you were once under the spell doesn't mean you can't break it.Follow Nicole on Instagram: @moneymakingunicornsFollow Alyse on Instagram: @alyse_breathesFollow Robyn on Instagram: @robynmckayphd✨ Reserve your copy of Dr. Robyn McKay's brand new ebook Healing the Healers — a guide for spiritually intelligent leaders who are here to restore, protect, and liberate human consciousness: https://robyn-mckay.myflodesk.com/healingthehealers

What if everything you believed about healing and personal transformation was being used against you?In this episode of Bewitched, Nicole Cherie Hesse pulls back the curtain on the psychological and emotional stranglehold that Betty—the so-called spiritual mentor—had over her life. What started as a pursuit of self-discovery and growth turned into a high-control, cult-like environment where devotion was demanded, obedience was expected, and questioning was punished.Nicole entered the relationship with Betty from a place of ambition and a desire to work with a woman who embodied spiritual entrepreneurship. Initially impressed by Betty's visibility, network, and her promise of deep, transformational work, she soon encountered unethical sales tactics and misleading revenue claims.  Nicole describes how Betty used spiritual teachings as weapons—convincing her to ignore her instincts, surrender personal autonomy, and submit to a system that prioritized Betty's ego over real transformation. How does a mentor create an environment where independent thought feels like betrayal?What does it take to wake up and see the manipulation for what it truly is?And once the spell is broken—how do you recover from the damage left behind?Nicole's story is one of awakening, resistance, and ultimately, escape. If you've ever felt uneasy about a spiritual leader's control or questioned whether a community was truly supporting your growth, this episode will strike a nerve.TODAY'S HIGHLIGHTS(00:00) Intro(00:53) The Deeper Trauma Work(01:58) The Sacred Money Mind Program(04:31) In Today's Episode...Nicole Cherie Hess: Finding Betty(09:11) The Unethical Sales Call and The Revenue Share Deal(12:53) 6 and 7 Figures Who?(21:55) The Dark and Devious Companion - A.K.A.

What happens when a determination of death GOES WRONG?In this episode of the Standard of Care Podcast, hosts Samantha Johnson and Nick Adams break down a real and heartbreaking case where EMS medics declared a 14-year-old patient deceased—only for him to be resuscitated at the hospital nearly an hour later. The fallout? A legal battle that made its way to the Supreme Court, and a patient left with devastating consequences.With legal nuance and clinical insight, Samantha and Nick walk through the case from street to courtroom. They explore the intersection of qualified immunity, the complexities of assessing patients with conditions like cerebral palsy, and the chilling legal and ethical risks that come with the determination of death in the field. This episode will change the way you view determination of death—and might just save your career someday.Listen now on your favorite podcast platform or directly at https://flightbridgeed.com/standard-of-care/. While you're there, explore our award-winning and nationally recognized courses that are helping thousands of providers stay sharp, safe, and legally sound.Key TakeawaysDon't shortcut your assessment. "Cold to the touch" and single-lead asystole aren't enough—especially in patients with neurological conditions that can present atypically.Qualified immunity protects government providers—until it doesn't. It's not a license to cut corners.Thorough documentation and a second-by-second account of your decision-making process can be your legal lifeline.Cross-agency coordination and quality assurance are essential. What one crew misses, another might catch—but how that's handled matters.EMT and paramedic education rarely prepares you for the weight of calling a death. Clinical training must evolve to meet that responsibility.When in doubt, initiate resuscitation. Let the ER be the place of final determination—not the living room.ReferencesStacy Williams, on behalf of her minor grandson, J.J. v.

The Headlines: First-Ever Golden Bachelor in Paradise Cast Members Revealed Man Does 2,000 Squats for a Bet, Ends Up in Kidney Failure Florida Woman Robs Dairy Queen at Gunpoint, Gets Away with $1.50 First-Ever Golden Bachelor in Paradise Cast Members Revealed For the first time ever, Bachelor in Paradise is blending contestants from all of its spinoffs. Host Jesse Palmer announced that Golden Bachelor stars Leslie Fhima and Gary Levingston will be joining the upcoming season. “So this is really happening,” Palmer said. “For the first time ever, Golden men and women will be hitting the beaches of Paradise alongside all of your Bachelor and Bachelorette favorites of seasons past.” How it all plays out is still a mystery, but Bachelor in Paradise returns this summer.Source Man Does 2,000 Squats for a Bet, Ends Up in Kidney Failure A young man in Russia took a bet too far after performing 2,000 squats in a row—and landing in the hospital. Shortly after completing the challenge, he experienced severe leg pain, swelling, and dark brown urine, eventually becoming unable to urinate. Doctors diagnosed him with rhabdomyolysis, a serious condition where muscle tissue breaks down and releases toxins into the bloodstream, potentially leading to kidney failure. Tests showed his kidneys were only functioning at 50% capacity. Luckily, he avoided dialysis, but his full recovery could take anywhere from three months to a year.Source Florida Woman Robs Dairy Queen at Gunpoint, Gets Away with $1.50 A Florida woman is behind bars after allegedly robbing a Dairy Queen at gunpoint—only to walk away with a grand total of $1.50. Authorities say 44-year-old Allison Fetting entered the restaurant, brandished a gun, and demanded money. Instead of taking cash from the register, she grabbed the tip jar, which had just over a dollar in it. Though the robbery happened last year, she was booked into jail on Friday. Fetting has a history of theft and has been convicted of multiple robberies in the area.Source Nina's What's Trending is your daily dose of the hottest headlines, viral moments, and must-know stories from The Jubal Show!

We've all heard the saying, 'When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.' But what happens when the teacher isn't the right one? What if the mentor you were excited to learn from turns out to be disengaged, misaligned, or not that helpful? If you are stuck in a mentorship that isn't serving you, you don't have to stay there. Today, we will talk about recognizing when mentorship isn't working, why it's so hard to navigate, and, most importantly—how to step away confidently and professionally.

Netflix's Full Metal Alchemist live-action trilogy offers an uneven adaptation that ranges from frustratingly bad to surprisingly good. The second film stands as the trilogy's highlight while the first and third installments struggle with poor CGI, missing plot points, and bizarre creative decisions.• First movie starts well but devolves into a Resident Evil-like mess with strange plot changes• Second movie (Revenge of Scar) dramatically improves with better action, faithful storytelling, and character portrayals• CGI quality inexplicably drops in the third film despite being filmed alongside the second• Many iconic moments from the anime are either omitted or poorly executed• Key character developments are missing, particularly for Greed and Pride• Strong performances from actors playing Mustang, Bradley, and Armstrong throughout• Ending follows the Brotherhood conclusion rather than the original anime's ending• Second film earns an 8/10 while first and third films rate 4.5/10 and 6/10 respectivelyText us for feedback and recommendations for future episodes!Support the showWe thank everyone for listening to our podcast!

" Whether you believe Christ is a Messiah or not, Christ is love and there was no love. Nothing in this experience leads me to believe that she comes from love."This is Part 2 of Robyn's story in our "Bewitched" series, where we continue exposing the manipulation, coercion, and psychological control that played out under Betty's so-called spiritual mentorship. If you thought Part 1 was shocking, this episode dives even deeper into the unraveling of truth—and the final breaking point that led Robyn to escape Betty's grip for good.Robyn opens up about the mental gymnastics, fear-based conditioning, and deep emotional entanglement that made leaving feel nearly impossible. We discuss how Betty weaponized trust and intuition to create a false sense of empowerment—only to systematically break women down, erode their confidence, and make them dependent on her approval.But what happens when you start questioning the narrative? When the fear of leaving finally outweighs the fear of staying?If you've ever felt trapped in a coaching relationship where your growth was being controlled instead of nurtured, this conversation will give you the clarity and validation you need.TODAY'S HIGHLIGHTS(00:00) Intro(00:52) In Today's Episode...Robyn's Story: The Top of the Hill(04:23) The Sacred Money Mind Announcement(07:26) Setting Up The Croatia Retreat(15:39) The Divorce - Betty's Hidden Agenda(21:31) No Privacy - "We're Being Watched"(32:02) The Christos Revelation: "I am The Messiah".

If Part 1 left you with more questions than answers… buckle up, buttercup! Today, I'm sharing the rest of my journey—what happened when my spiritual mentoring experience took a turn, and how I found my way back to clarity, confidence, and trust in myself.If you've ever second-guessed your intuition, felt pulled into someone else's agenda, or struggled to discern the difference between influence and truth—this episode is for you.In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of the final retreat I attended with Betty—what was supposed to be a 10-day experience that turned into a 24-day unraveling. From the unsettling dynamics of the retreat to the high control, paranoia, and mind games that followed, I share what it took to finally wake up, reclaim my power, and break the spell for good.This isn't just about one mentor or one retreat. It's about recognizing when a situation no longer serves you, sharpening your discernment, and reclaiming your own wisdom. Because while guidance can be valuable, your intuition always gets the final say.Key Topics:✨ The retreat experience that made me second-guess what I knew to be true.✨ The fine line between deep spiritual work and losing connection with your own power.✨ Influence vs. intuition—understanding the difference and why it matters.✨ How I navigated the aftermath—and what healing has looked like since.Reflection Questions:

When a mentor demands your devotion, isolates you from loved ones, and convinces you she's the only source of truth—what do you do?In this jaw-dropping episode of the "Bewitched" series, Dr. Robyn McKay and I sit with Alicia Isaacs Howes to continue exposing the dangerous underbelly of high-control spiritual mentorship. This time, Alicia bravely shares her decade-long entanglement with "Betty," revealing how a once-inspiring coach slowly tightened her grip—leading to mind games, emotional abuse, and a shocking retreat that would change everything.Alicia was an insider—trusted, given leadership roles, and made to feel "special." But behind the curtain, she witnessed red flags disguised as high standards, clients being publicly shamed, and a leader who claimed to be more than just a mentor—she claimed to be God.This conversation exposes the divide-and-conquer tactics, bizarre retreats filled with paranoia, sleep deprivation, and starvation, and the final, terrifying twist—when Alicia was told her own family had turned against her.We're not sugarcoating anything in this conversation. If you've ever felt uneasy about a coach, mentor, or leader but couldn't quite put your finger on why—this episode will give you the clarity you need to trust your instincts and break free.TODAY'S HIGHLIGHTS(00:00) Intro(00:53) In Today's Episode...Alicia Isaacs Howes(03:46) Upcoming Events(06:45) Alicia's Beginning's with Betty - Early Red Flags(13:02) The Sedona Retreat - Betty's Dark Transformation(35:26) The Croatia Retreat: A Turning Point - "I am Christos"(41:21) Paranoia, The Hotel is Not Safe and A Night of Control and Fear(52:40) The Retreat's Abrupt End(56:31) The Journey to the Next Location, Realization, and Escape(01:02:48) The Final Confrontation and Reflecting on the Experience(01:27:24) Moving Forward with New Wisdom**WAYS TO ENTER MY WORLD**Leave a review, send us a screenshot and get a $250 credit, you can apply to anything else in my world.The Sacred Money Mind is like nothing you've ever experienced when it comes to uncovering and dissolving what is unconsciously standing in the way of you attracting and normalizing larger amounts of money.Dissolve Your Core Wound Live Event I'm so excited to announce that Saturday, March 29th from 10-6pm, I'll be at the Philadelphia Rebirthing Center.

8a-9a An 80's cruise ends in tragedy, Fyre Fest 2 is NOT a real thing, actors told they need followers to get roles, an in studio dance party, the best and worst states for women, goats, and Fast Facts!

What topic would you like us to cover next?It's easy to feel like things are quickly spiraling out of control when a crisis hits. Our latest episode takes a look at exactly what needs to be done when the heat is high, the pressure is on, and it feels like your back's against the wall because of one type of disaster or another.  We discuss the types of crises businesses can face, from data breaches to PR disasters, and unpack real examples and the lessons learned – like Boeing's operational blunders and Bud Light's marketing missteps. We cover the importance of real-time monitoring, empathy-driven communication, and planning (planning, planning), and how these strategies can even turn a crisis into an opportunity. The key takeaway? Every crisis is manageable as long as there's a robust plan in place to mitigate damage and retain brand trust. As the overly-quoted (but absolutely accurate when it comes to a crisis) idiom goes: "fail to prepare, prepare to fail"! Don't treat a crisis as an ‘if', but rather as a ‘when' – and learn everything you need to prepare like a pro in this episode.  Is your marketing strategy ready for 2025?

In this episode of Bewitched: Breaking the Spell When Spiritual Mentoring Goes Wrong, Dr. Robyn McKay and Alyse Bacine sit down with Jia, a sharp, intuitive leader who found herself caught up in the world of high-level spiritual mentorship—until things took a turn.Jia was with Robyn and Alyse in Santa Fe for what was supposed to be a transformational business and personal development retreat. Later, she traveled to Croatia with the same mentor, “Betty,” and got a front-row seat to the dark side of mentorship gone wrong. From sleep deprivation to gaslighting, from over-the-top paranoia to questioning every major life decision—this episode is a real talk on what happens when spiritual leadership gets messy.If you've ever looked up to a mentor, only to realize they weren't who you thought they were, this conversation is for you. Jia shares her experience with refreshing honesty (and a little humor), reminding us all how easy it is to get caught up in someone else's version of the truth—and how powerful it is to reclaim your own.How Jia got pulled into this mentorship—and the early red flags she missedThe Santa Fe retreat experience: belonging, excitement, and the start of subtle influenceHow sleep deprivation, social dynamics, and paranoia set the stage for deeper manipulationWhat went down in Croatia (spoiler: it wasn't just a relaxing getaway)The wake-up moment: when Jia realized she needed to get outThe process of untangling from a mentor's influence and finding her own truth againLessons in discernment: how to spot the difference between true guidance and controlEven smart, intuitive people can get caught up in unhealthy mentorship dynamics.If a mentor is making big statements about your life that you didn't ask for, it's okay to step back and question it.Just because someone has a strong presence doesn't mean they have all the answers.Trusting your intuition is always more important than following someone else's vision for you.Real mentorship is about guidance, not control—and the best leaders help you trust yourself more, not less.If this episode hit home, we'd love to hear from you.

What if the person you trusted as your spiritual mentor was actually casting a spell to manipulate your mind, isolate you from loved ones, and hijack your reality? In this explosive episode of our "Bewitched" series, I sit down with Dr. Robyn McKay and Jia Dafu to unravel a story of spiritual manipulation, emotional abuse, and the dark underbelly of high-control coaching. Jia bravely shares her experience working with "Betty", a so-called spiritual mentor whose toxic tactics went far beyond typical coaching.From sleep deprivation to planting seeds of paranoia about family and loved ones, Betty created a cult-like environment where truth and lies became indistinguishable. Jia opens up about how Betty's insidious methods of gaslighting, emotional isolation, and mind games left her questioning her own sanity.We dive into the bizarre dynamics of "energetic agreements", the manipulation of spiritual gifts, and the trauma bonds that formed when vulnerability was weaponized. You'll hear how Betty convinced Jia to break off relationships, adopt a delusional identity, and even channel business strategies that were stolen and marketed as Betty's own work.This episode is a wake-up call for anyone navigating spiritual and coaching spaces. We're not holding back as we expose the dangerous patterns of cult-like mentorship, share how to spot red flags, and discuss the reclamation of self-sovereignty after spiritual abuse.TODAY'S HIGHLIGHTS(00:00) Intro(01:41) Episode Recap on Instagram(02:23) In Today's Episode...Jia Dafu(03:08) Special Bonuses on The Mothership(06:48) Jia's Naive Start and Initial Impressions(09:49) Santa Fe Retreat - The Taker Element and The Delusional Confidence(18:10) Dark Psychological Practices(26:58) Mind Block and Manipulations(32:36) Life Changes After Santa Fe - Inverted Portals(38:44) The Croatia Retreat - The Big Being(44:26) Spell Casting and Paranoia(51:53) Psychotic Breakdown, Silent Resistance and The Mysterious Enemy(01:00:00) Returning Home: The Shift.

What if the person claiming to guide your spiritual awakening was actually casting a spell to keep you under their control? When coaching becomes cult-like, it's not just unethical—it's dangerous. We need to talk about this.In the second episode of our "Bewitched" series, I sit down with Dr. Robyn McKay to dive even deeper into our shared experience with a toxic spiritual mentor—"Betty". This is not just another story about a bad coach. It's a look behind the curtain at manipulative practices, coercive control, and outright abuse of power that too often hide behind the guise of spiritual mentoring.We unpack how boundary violations, emotional manipulation, and trauma bonding created a confusion matrix that left us questioning our own sanity. Robyn shares her story of being subtly coerced into energetic agreements she didn't fully understand, and how a simple request was actually the start of a much darker dynamic.We expose the cult-like tactics used to create a high-control environment, where fear of retribution, public shaming, and gaslighting were commonplace. We shine a light on the psychodrama that unfolded, including bizarre retreats where we were starved, sleep-deprived, and encouraged to engage in spiritual warfare against imagined enemies.If you think spiritual abuse is something that could never happen to you, think again. This conversation isn't just about what we went through—it's about helping you spot the red flags, trust your intuition, and break free from toxic dynamics. TODAY'S HIGHLIGHTS(00:00) Intro(00:52) In Today's Episode...Robyn McKay(02:18) A Greater Healing For The Collective(05:40) Special Offers(07:51) Robyn's Background and Initial Experience with "Betty"(14:29) The Power Differential and Boundary Issues(19:03) Questioning Actions and Dual Relationships(26:28) The Denver Retreat: The Spell(35:08) Two Truths, One Lie(40:13) The San Diego Retreat: Spiritual Warfare(49:51) The Aftermath and Ethical Concerns(52:35) Trauma Bonding and Realizations - Questioning the Benefits(59:31) Santa Fe's Turning Point - The Charlatan(01:17:36) The Croatia Retreat - Paranoia and Psychodrama**WAYS TO ENTER MY WORLD**Leave a review, send us a screenshot and get a $250 credit, you can apply to anything else in my world.The Metamorphosis Method starts February 27th and you can still enroll.

In this episode of Bewitched, Alyse Bacine and I are pulling back the veil on what happens when spiritual mentorship crosses the line. We've had the private conversations, done the deep processing, and now we're bringing our experiences into the light.Dr. McKay shares her intense journey of navigating through coercive control, manipulation, and psychological trauma induced by a well-known mentor referred to as 'Betty.' The episode details incidents from various retreats, the subtle ways the mentor imposed control, and the profound impact on their personal and professional lives. The conversation explores the themes of trauma bonding, coercive control, and the importance of reclaiming one's consciousness. Join them as they lift the curtain on unethical spiritual practices and seek to transform their experiences into wisdom for the spiritual entrepreneurship community.What We're Covering: The fine line between spiritual mentorship and manipulation How power imbalances play out in coaching relationships The disillusionment that comes after putting someone on a pedestal Public reprimands, shame tactics, and subtle (or not-so-subtle) gaslighting How coercive control sneaks in—without you realizing it The confusion matrix: when everything is a game of smoke and mirrors The slow shift from business mentorship to full-blown psychodrama How exhaustion, lack of food, and isolation amplify suggestibility Speaking up, speaking out, and reclaiming our voicesMemorable Moments: “If it can happen to me, it can happen to anyone.” – Dr. Robyn McKay “There's always an enemy. If it's not someone outside, it's someone in the group.” – Alyse Bacine “I wasn't just opening a bottle—I was unconsciously agreeing to something much bigger.” – Dr. Robyn McKay “You don't have to be weak or naive for this to happen to you. You just have to be open.” – Alyse BacineWhat You'll Take Away: How to recognize when mentorship is becoming manipulative Why trusting your gut is always the right move The subtle tactics that keep people in unhealthy dynamics longer than they should be How to reclaim your agency and find your own clarity The importance of true integrity in leadership and spiritual business spacesLet's Keep This Conversation Going:This is just the beginning.

Episode Summary:Today, we're pulling back the curtain on a conversation that many in the spiritual and coaching industries have hesitated to have. In this special mini-series, Bewitched: Breaking the Spell After Spiritual Mentoring Goes Wrong, we're talking about what happens when coaching crosses ethical lines, when power imbalances and coercion take hold, and when the very mentorship you sought for expansion becomes a source of harm.Joining me is my dear friend and the host of Reclaiming Consciousness, Alyse Bacine. Together, we're sharing our personal journeys through a coaching experience that, in hindsight, held many red flags—financial manipulation, coercive control, and harmful psychological tactics disguised as spiritual mentorship.This is about more than just one coach or one experience—this is about reclaiming consciousness, recovering from destabilizing dynamics, and moving forward as leaders who uphold integrity in the coaching space.

What if the mentor you trusted to elevate you was actually the one holding you back? Spiritual leadership should empower—not manipulate. It's time we talk about what happens when coaching crosses the line.In this eye-opening new series, I join Robyn McKay for a raw and vulnerable conversation about a toxic coaching experience we both went through—along with other women in our industry. This is the first of a series of episodes where we unpack the red flags, manipulative tactics, and unethical practices that took place, and how we finally broke free.In this first episode of the series, I take the guest seat and share my experience and POV with coach "Betty". I share how I found myself in a high-control mentorship dynamic, what made me question my own judgment, and why it took time to fully recognize the emotional and psychological impact of this experience. We explore the power imbalances, coercion, and gaslighting that often go unnoticed in spiritual coaching spaces—and how to spot them before they cause harm.This series isn't about blame—it's about education, empowerment, and healing. If you've ever felt manipulated or misled in the coaching world, or if you want to learn how to navigate mentorship with discernment, this conversation is for you.TODAY'S HIGHLIGHTS(00:00) Intro(00:52) Welcome to the Bewitched Series(01:53) Ethical Dilemmas and Vulnerability(03:30) How and Why Bewitched was Born(07:58) The Metamorphosis Method is Almost Here(08:54) When Coaching Goes Bad...Finally Sharing My Experience(12:47) Working with "Betty": Early Successes(19:50) Red Flags - Manipulative Practices, Ethical Concerns, and The Snake Bite(32:08) Coercive Control(44:16) Retreat Experiences and High-Control Tactics(52:20) The Concept of a Clear Channel(52:52) Patterns of Manipulation, The San Diego Retreat Experience, Psychodrama and Altered States(56:06) Questioning Intentions and Ethics(01:00:05) Deciding on the Santa Fe Retreat - Manipulative Sales Tactics and Recognizing the Patterns(01:07:53) Realizations and Reflections(01:10:16)  "Talking to You is Like Groundhog Day" - The Miracle of Getting "Fired"(01:17:47) Questioning Myself, Healing and Moving Forward(01:26:24) Final Thoughts and Advice **WAYS TO ENTER MY WORLD**Leave a review, send us a screenshot and get a $250 credit, you can apply to anything else in my world.The Metamorphosis Method starts February 27th and you can still enroll.

When we think about "red tape" and the cost of regulation it's hard to overstate the impact of professional licensing. According to Professor Rebecca Haw Allensworth, it's bigger than unions and more expensive than sales taxes. Millions of American workers are required - by law - to obtain a license in order to work. This barrier of entry depends on requirements set by licensing boards staffed mainly by members of the profession they oversee. It limits the number of people who can serve and also confers on licensees a certain degree of prestige and trust.  In The Licensing Racket: How We Decide Who Is Allowed to Work, and Why It Goes Wrong (Harvard UP, 2025), Allensworth goes deep into a complex web of conflicting priorities.  Whether it's hair stylists or doctors, plumbers or lawyers, licensing board members are asked to simultaneously represent their personal practice, fellow professionals, and the public. They have to literally "wear three hats", which leads to well-intentioned, but deeply flawed and biased, decision making. Consumers depend on licensing boards to ensure that professionals maintain high quality and reliability standards by creating - and enforcing - licensing standards.  In reality, their decisions can be maddeningly arbitrary, creating unnecessary barriers to hopeful practitioners while simultaneously failing to protect the public from bad actors who abuse the trust placed in them. Despite good intent, board members lack the resources and sometimes the will to investigate even serious disciplinary cases. The consequences include, but are not limited to, the failure of medical licensing boards to remove the abusive doctors who fueled the opioid crisis and a system that allows unethical predatory lawyers to continue to practice, often targeting clients who are unable to protect themselves. While in some areas licensing is deeply flawed, in others it is critical to a well-functioning society. Allensworth argues for abolition where appropriate and reform where it is most needed.
