Leslie joins Olis and Don and tells them about her early reluctance with AA. It was at ICYPAA that she first felt the spirit and saw the benefit that drew her in. She was also reluctant with her first sponsor because they had so many differences, but the sponsor's emphasis on the First Step eventually won Leslie's heart.

Long before we knew about digital discovery, one of the fastest ways for new artists to connect with audiences was to reimagine an existing hit and put it on an album or 45—infusing it with their own style, energy, and attitude. A Chuck Berry riff might get filtered through the Beatles' harmonies, or an old blues song could get a new spin in the hands of the Rolling Stones. Musicians have always looked back to reinterpret the songs that shaped them, essentially creating a conversation across decades of music. Great rock and roll covers often redefine the song. Jimi Hendrix's “All Along the Watchtower” transformed Bob Dylan's stark folk ballad into a guitar-rock, psychedelic stomper. Aretha Franklin took Otis Redding's “Respect” and made it a soul-rock anthem of empowerment. Nirvana's raw take on David Bowie's "The Man Who Sold the World" introduced the track to an entirely new audience. In each case, the cover didn't just honor the original—it expanded its reach. The best covers don't just repeat the past—they rewrite it, proving that a great song can live many lives. 10 Iconic Rock and Roll Covers and How They Transformed the Original Jimi Hendrix – All Along the Watchtower (1968) Originally by Bob Dylan, Hendrix electrified the song with guitars and redefined it as a rock classic. Dylan himself later performed it in Hendrix's style. The Beatles – Twist and Shout (1963) Originally recorded by The Top Notes and popularized by The Isley Brothers, the Beatles turned it into their own via John Lennon's famously shredded vocal take. Aretha Franklin – Respect (1967) Originally by Otis Redding, Aretha flipped the perspective, injecting it with feminist firepower, gospel-inspired vocals, and made it an anthem for empowerment and equality. The Rolling Stones – Little Red Rooster (1964) Originally by Willie Dixon (recorded by Howlin' Wolf), the Stones slowed it down, leaning into the deep Chicago blues feel, introducing American blues to a younger audience. Nirvana – The Man Who Sold the World (1993) Originally by David Bowie, Nirvana's MTV Unplugged version stripped it to a haunting acoustic vibe that resonated with '90s alternative fans - and (re)introduced Bowie to them, Joe Cocker – With a Little Help from My Friends (1968) Originally by The Beatles, Cocker turned the Sgt. Pepper and Ringo song into a soulful, slow-burning rocker.  Killer organ and gospel vocals. Janis Joplin – Piece of My Heart (1968) Originally by Erma Franklin, Joplin's version with Big Brother and the Holding Company was a raw and bluesy. The Clash – I Fought the Law (1979) Written in 1958 and first released in 1960 by The Crickets (after Buddy Holly left) and popularized by The Bobby Fuller Four, The Clash injected punk. It was their first single in the United States. Creedence Clearwater Revival – I Heard It Through the Grapevine (1970) Originally by Gladys Knight & The Pips and made famous by Marvin Gaye, CCR turned the Motown hit into an 11-minute swamp-rock jam. Jeff Buckley – Hallelujah (1994) Originally by Leonard Cohen, Buckley's haunting performance influenced artists in the decades that followed. Further Listening: 4 Lesser-Known but Brilliant Beatles Covers The Black Keys – She Said, She Said (2002) A gritty, stripped-down garage-rock take on The Beatles' psychedelic classic from Revolver. Siouxsie and the Banshees – Dear Prudence (1983) The Beatles' ballad morphs in goth-tinged new wave.. Gov't Mule – She Said, She Said / Tomorrow Never Knows (1998) A jam-band fusion of two Beatles tracks Fiona Apple – Across the Universe (1998) Slowed to a languid pace, Apple leans into the cosmic melancholy

Karen, whose article appears in the August 2025 issue of Grapevine, tells Don and Sam that her feeling of despondence and knowing that drinking was not good for her brought her to AA. It was out in nature that Karen first felt connected to something larger than herself. Now she has a regular practice of letting go and trying to do the next right thing.While we provide the podcast at no charge, we do have expenses.

When Grapevine's elected leaders set out to build something special at the South end of Main Street, they had most of the components lined up: a parcel of land to shape as needed, voter-approved passenger rail access, and a vision for the final piece of the puzzle. For decades, they had dreamed about a downtown hotel. Now, they finally got to search for a partner who could build something to match their vision... while conforming to a few intense code requirements.This is Part Three of our miniseries on the City's iconic new Public-Private Partnership:00:00-02:02...

Dana Cardinas loved podiatry, and she was damn good at it. But a surprise diagnosis of idiopathic ulnar neuropathy, followed by a shocking discovery of Stage 3C colon cancer, forced her to step away from the profession she adored. In this episode, Dana opens up about how she handled early retirement, battled cancer, and found purpose again through helping others and launching a new business, 1 Stop Promotional Products. From laughing down clinic hallways to launching a neuropathy support group that's changing lives in Colontown, Dana proves that purpose doesn't end with a job title. If you're a podiatrist, business owner, or just someone navigating life's curveballs, this conversation is for you.

The podcast designed to help you feel, see, and think differently about the Podiatry profession. With me today is an old friend, well...not that old. We've only known each other for about 12 years. It is Dana Cardinas, and we met in 2013 in Nashville, Tennessee, at REM Jackson's top practices. But our friendship got bonded even more from about 2015 onwards, when we were at Dave Free's business Black Ops event, which people have heard that I go to on a regular basis. So Dana, how you doing today? Dana Cardinas: I'm so good. I'm so happy to be here, Tyson. Thank you. Oh my gosh, I'm so excited. Tyson E Franklin: I knew you'd bring the energy and I should mention to people that Dana lives in Texas, so there is a slight accent. Dana Cardinas: Yes, most definitely. And I apologize for my attire today. I literally just got out of the pool. It's hot and it's summertime and it was pool time tonight, so, yes. Tyson E Franklin: [00:01:00] So are you born and bred Texan? Dana Cardinas: Yeah, I was born and raised in central Texas. Yes. On a ranch. 300 acre ranch? Tyson E Franklin: I have seen photos of you driving tractors. Dana Cardinas: Yes. Yeah. So most recently convinced my dad to teach me how to drive the bulldozer. So finally was able to get on that machine after 50 something years. Tyson E Franklin: He wouldn't let you drive it? Dana Cardinas: No. He's very protective of that thing, so understandably he didn't want me to take it out any fences, but I did pretty good for my first go. Tyson E Franklin: So what we're gonna be talking about today, I'm gonna tell give people a bit of a rundown. We're gonna talk about what got you into Podiatry and also what got you out of Podiatry and what you're currently doing now, which I think is pretty cool. So yeah, let's go to that first question. Why Podiatry? How did you get into Podiatry in the first place? Dana Cardinas: So I always, my entire life, since I was wee little, I wanted to be a doctor. I didn't have a specific profession. I just knew I wanted to be a [00:02:00] doctor. But as I went through undergrad and spent time shadowing different professions I narrowed down things that I didn't wanna do. I knew I didn't wanna do certain things, and after I graduated from undergrad I needed, I just needed some time to figure out what was gonna be next. While I was studying for my MCATs, getting ready to, try to get into med school. And I worked in a large Podiatry practice in Carrollton, Texas. And I loved it. I absolutely loved it. And I started, just in their front office answering phones. I needed a job to pay bills, and I went from answering phones to being a medical assistant because I was very interested in what they were doing back there. And at one point, one of the docs pulled me aside and said, Dana, you need to do [00:03:00] this for a living because you're diagnosing and treating my patients. And really, you should be paid for it if you're gonna do it. And I, and we had a long talk about it, and I really picked his brain about why he wanted to be a Podiatry. Yeah. What did he get outta it? Why did he like it? And what was happening in Podiatry that I didn't see and what did I not know? I really wanted to know about it. Tyson E Franklin: That's a really good question though that you asked because Yeah. I do think sometimes when people are choosing careers or even when they're in Podiatry now and they may have only been in for a couple of years and go, oh, I don't know if I should keep doing this. They need to talk to people. Yeah. Even if they'd send an email and say, can we jump on a Zoom call with someone like myself, it's been in the profession for well over 30 years is reach out to those people and say, why are you, why did you stay in this profession for so long? When I feel like giving it away after two or three years. Dana Cardinas: Right. And he and that is key, honestly for any profession. Honestly. I think it's reaching out to people in your [00:04:00] profession and asking them, if you're burned out, find out, what's the other person doing that They love it so much, that they can help you. But this practice had seven docs in it. I talked to all of them and they all had such good things to say about the specialty. They loved it. And that from a doc that had been out for two years to, I wanna say, the one doc that started the group had been out for 30 something years. So at the time, so like they were in it, they loved it, they loved the business side of it, but they loved treating the patients. Just the whole aspect of it. Yeah. So that's when I said, okay I'm doing this because I really liked it. I just, I loved the idea that you could see a patient. And maybe fix their problem right away. Maybe it was just a simple ingrow toenail boom, you fixed it and they feel better. Or you could offer them something that wasn't [00:05:00] surgically, related like orthotics or just talking to them about improved running, anything like that could just make them feel better almost instantly. But then there was also that other side of it for me that really grabbed my attention was. Taking something structural that wasn't working right and fixing it so that they could function either without pain or more appropriately. So, that, that was a big draw for me. That was my draw. Okay. 'cause that was, I loved working with my hands. Again, I grew up. That way. I didn't grow up in the city. I grew up on a farm and we fixed things and so I, that was my track. And so that's how I got into Podiatry. So I applied to four or five different schools. And so I ended up going to Temple University of Philadelphia. Which blew my mind. I was not from a [00:06:00] size of a city that big, so that was like, a culture shock for this West Texas girl. But I loved it. I loved every bit of it. I just soaked it up. I traveled while I was there a ton, but I also made such great friends, but I really. I really just dove right in it, man. I dove right in it. I wanted to know everything about Podiatry and loved it. Went to residency back here in Texas, so a year in San Antonio, and then two years with lake Great Sam Mendocino in Houston. God rest that guy. But from that point knew that, okay, this is where I was supposed to be. Yeah. This is what I was supposed to be doing. And then ended up in practice in Grapevine, fantastic practice in Grapevine and we grew that practice to two locations actually. So we had one in Grapevine and one in Keller. So I joined Foot Ankle Associates of North Texas and then ended up [00:07:00] becoming a partner there about a year and a half after I joined. So yeah, it was awesome. Loved it. And that's Tyson E Franklin: where you were, right up through to you finishing? Dana Cardinas: Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. And I really didn't have plans of retiring when I did, yeah. I just didn't have an option. Tyson E Franklin: We'll get to that in a sec. But the one thing I noticed when I first met you too and why we've probably remained friends is I've always loved your energy. And if, and I'm sure people whether watching the video on YouTube or they're listening to the podcast, they can pick up your energy. Yes. And I would say that was a big part of what made you a good Podiatry too. You took that energy into the room. Dana Cardinas: I did. I who I am is exactly who I was when I walked into a patient's room. It didn't matter if you were three years old or 103 years old, you got the same me. And we smiled and we laughed and we talked about [00:08:00] your life not mine. And we talked about your kids and your family and I got to know you. And when some of my patients hit huge milestones in their treatment, whether that be my diabetic patients when we healed ulcers or we saved limb. Or my ankle fracture patients, when they could actually put their boots back on and go back to work. We would dance down the halls. Yeah, we would party down the hall. That's who I was. And that's, you got this when you came to see me, which was usually quite a mess, let me tell you that. It was fun. Tyson E Franklin: I just love it. And you worked for a couple of years at the practice that you ended up becoming a partner in, was that always part of your plan to become a partner or you never even thought about that? It took you by surprise that they wanted this loud text and, Hey, by the way, is everyone in Texas loud? Dana Cardinas: No. Tyson E Franklin: No. Okay. Most Dana Cardinas: of us are. Yes. [00:09:00] Yes. Most of us are. There are just some that are a little louder than others. But yeah. Yes. Tyson E Franklin: Are you one of the louder ones? Dana Cardinas: Yeah. Tyson E Franklin: Yeah. Okay. Just checking. Just wanted to check, just see. So I'm prepared in December. Get ready man. Tyson E Franklin: So, so when they approached you by buying in the practice, were you sort of like, yeah, that's great. That's what I was hoping would happen. Or did it take by surprise? Dana Cardinas: I think timing wise took me by surprise 'cause it happened a little sooner than what I thought. But the way the three of us at the time, there was only three of us. We just were, we jelled so well together that it just seemed like a natural fit for that to happen. And so it, it was perfect timing. And I, in residency, you always heard, oh, you wanna be a partner in a practice, that's where you wanna head. And now looking back on it and talking to other, my residency mates that were not partners in a [00:10:00] practice because they chose not to go that route, that it didn't fit their lifestyle. So I would say anybody listening, you don't feel like if you're not a partner, you're not successful by any means. Yeah. It just might not be the track that it fits your life for us. In that particular moment, it was perfect. It was the right scenario for us to do that. And it worked out phenomenal. Tyson E Franklin: Yeah I think that's a really good point because I think some people meant to be business owners, like I was always meant to work for myself . I just always knew that was gonna happen. And the funny part is. Neither of my parents owned their own business. Nobody in my family that I even know had their own business. So why I was that way. I have no idea that was just me. Yeah. But I think there's certain people that they should never own their own business. They should stay as employees because they are really good employees. Yeah. And what, like you said too, it's a different level of pressure you get when you are actually the business owner that when you're an employee, [00:11:00] you go away on your four weeks holiday, you don't have to think about anything. Dana Cardinas: Yeah, right. Tyson E Franklin: Two weeks in America, you only get two weeks holiday in America, don't you? Dana Cardinas: It depends on how much you negotiate, man. Tyson E Franklin: But in general. In general, in America, two weeks is all you get. Dana Cardinas: Depends. Most of the docs that we, you know, when we brought in docs as associates, we gave them three weeks in the beginning. So I, that's pretty good. Tyson E Franklin: But yeah, two weeks in, in Australia. In Australia, mandatory, four, four weeks holiday. Dana Cardinas: I honestly, I'm not gonna lie, everybody should move to Australia. Numerous reasons just to like hear you guys speak all the time. But if you can get four weeks automatic man, sign me up. Tyson E Franklin: Being an employer, you used to sometimes go, god dammit, when people are on holidays. But as a society, I think it's a fantastic thing because you need to have those mental breaks away from your business. And this is a problem that business owners don't do, is they work from morning [00:12:00] till night. They don't take holidays, they do it year after year and they burn themselves out. And I think you've gotta have that break. Dana Cardinas: Right. And it's hard as a business owner to take the break. It's hard to walk away 'cause you're you get in this, in your mind that, I'm not making any money if I'm not there and if I've got to have the money so I can't take off. You just get into that cycle, but when you take the time away is when you have clarity and you can think, and then you usually end up making better decisions, which make you more money in the long run. Tyson E Franklin: Yeah I remember my first, we, I'd take a week off here and there but it wasn't until, I think it was 2012. I took my first three week break. Away from clinic, went overseas, went to America, did the trifecta of Disneyland, Las Vegas, and then San Francisco. Dana Cardinas: Oh my gosh. That's amazing. Tyson E Franklin: And I had a daughter with us and my wife and [00:13:00] we went with another family. Had such a good trip. I came back to work and nothing had changed. Everyone was still working, in fact. Right. They were probably enjoying me not being there better. And from that year onwards, I realized I can take time off. So I was taking two, three week holidays a couple of times a year. Never looked back. Right, right. So I think you gotta trust, you gotta trust your team. Dana Cardinas: Yeah. And that's it too, like. If you build a team that you've trained well, they know what they're doing. They know how to handle the situations, and they know how, like who to call when they don't know the answer. Like that situation's gonna come up. But when you've got that training in place. Oh, you can leave. Trust me. They want you to go, they want you to go. They do, but you're getting cranky and you're getting agitated and they want you out as much as you need to take a [00:14:00] break. Tyson E Franklin: Oh, yeah. But I totally get it. And I totally understand if someone is a solo practitioner and they feel that they can't do it. But I think if you're a solo practitioner, go back to one of my earliest episodes on this podcast. It was episode 10 with Andrew Snyder and it's running a successful solo practice. This guy is the most relate. He's been doing this for 30 years or something. Now. Love that guy. Solo practitioner. Tyson E Franklin: Has never employed another Podiatry. He goes to Disneyland more often than anybody else I know, right? Right. Tyson E Franklin: If you're a solo practitioner, go back and listen to episode 10 because it will change the way you think about having a solo practice. Dana Cardinas: Yeah. Oh yeah. A super good friend of mine that we went to residency together, he was a solo practitioner for, gosh. At least 10 years before he brought on an associate. Tyson E Franklin: [00:15:00] Yeah. Dana Cardinas: And in the beginning he was this, I can't take, I can't leave, but once he figured out, okay I've got someone local that can cover my call if I'm out, they can take phone calls for patients that, call in after hours or have an emergency, whatever it might be. So he had coverage for that. They didn't come in the office, but it was just a quick phone call if necessary. He, when he figured that out. He would take vacation about once every eight weeks. It might be a short little, like four day or thing. Yeah. But he was gone somewhere and his practice grew immensely. Just simply because he was getting that mental break because it, let's just get real, it's not easy, Tyson E Franklin: no. To Dana Cardinas: do what we do. It's Tyson E Franklin: not. And it's one of those things too. Every patient that comes through the door could be a potential lawsuit. [00:16:00] And that's something that's, and that's why we have insurance and that Right. But we choose this profession and Right. And you know that 99.999% of patients come in. That is never going to happen. Dana Cardinas: No, it's never gonna happen. Right. And majority Tyson E Franklin: of patients are nice. Dana Cardinas: Right. Majority or. There's always a potential that patient's gonna walk in your front door that you don't know is going to absolutely kill your day. Just kill it. It's over done. There goes the schedule. Forget it. You're not getting home till way late because that one person entered your office, but it's what we signed up for. Yeah, and honestly i'm not gonna lie, I don't think I'm not different than anybody else. I think we thrive on that a little bit. I think we do love that little bit of excitement it's like you get excited about walking in that door to the patient room of, okay, what kind of shit am I gonna see on this one? Yeah. Like, what crazy crap did this guy just do that I'm [00:17:00] gonna have to fix? And that was always my favorite. Tyson E Franklin: That's the thing I think in life in general you, everybody wants a certain amount of certainty, which you need. It makes you feel comfortable and secure, but you also need that little bit of uncertainty to keep life interesting. And I, yeah, and I feel when I hear someone's, oh, I'm bored with Podiatry, I wanna leave. It's the same thing, day in, day out, I'm going, we need to, you need to change things up. Yes. Tyson E Franklin: It's obviously what, however you are running your day, you've got too much certainty. You need a little bit of uncertainty to spice things up a little bit. And that doesn't mean just going walking into work and sack somebody and create chaos. It's just your approach to work. Dana Cardinas: Yeah. Tyson E Franklin: Hey, make it a little bit different. Dana Cardinas: I totally agree. And that might be why you're bored. Tyson E Franklin: Yeah. Oh yeah. I like, if I wanted to, I could pick a certain part of Podiatry, keep doing that, and I would be bored, senseless. I needed different types of patients coming through with different types of injuries to make it interesting. Yes. But some days I did wanna just switch my brain off. Yeah, [00:18:00] I did wanna to use it. Yeah. Tyson E Franklin: So, okay, I'm gonna pivot slightly because you love Podiatry so much. Everyone must be listening to this. You hear your energy, your enthusiasm, you loved it, and why'd you leave? Dana Cardinas: So, in December about mid-December of 20 2015, and I thought I had carpal tunnel. I, my hands were just killing me at night. In, in, in here, in the us. The end of the year is always slamming busy because everybody's met their deductibles. They want everything done before the end of the year. Okay? And so we are all just maxed out. We've had surgery schedules full for three months or more. Patients are just like, I gotta get in, I gotta, again, I got it in. So we're busy and we make it happen. That's what we do. We make it happen. So I would go to bed at night and , wear these wraps on my [00:19:00] wrist because it just felt better. I kept thinking, all right, I gotta go get this checked out. My hands just really hurt. But the next day I was like, it's okay. It's not hurting as much. But by the end of a long surgery day, they were just, it was pain and it was pain, especially on my right that was going up to my elbow. And I was like, all right I just gotta go get this checked out. So get through December, I'm in the first week. January and I, it was fairly quiet, which was unusual, and I had one case booked on a Friday afternoon, and it was a tiny fifth toe arthroplasty. Literally anybody that does these on a regular basis, skin to skin, you're looking at max. Six minutes to me. Yeah. That was me, max. Boom. It's not hard. And it took me 20 minutes and I couldn't feel [00:20:00] what I was doing and I was terrified. And I, it had, I had another case, I would have canceled it. And I left, I got in the car and I called the office. Canceled all of my cases that were coming up. Put 'em onto one of the other partners and called my friend, who's a neurologist and said, I'm coming over something's wrong. And she was awesome. I had actually done surgery on her two, two years prior because she had some really cool ganglion cyst on her foot, which was amazing. But another story. And so she's yeah, come on over. She did a, what is that nerve conduction study? Yeah. On me. And she's Dana, how long have you had this? And I was like, this week, like today, like I today. And she's like, how did this not, how did you not see this happening? Because as she showed me at the time, and I'll show you my hands in the camera, all I had [00:21:00] lost the muscle mass on both of my hands. Along my thumb, especially along my ulnar side on my right, a little bit more or a little bit on my left. And the nerve conduction study showed that I had severe ulnar neuropathy on both sides. She's like, that doesn't just happen overnight. I'm like, I'm telling you. I had pain, but I could feel until today. And so, we did some further studies and over the next, the course of next two to three weeks and then really realized that what I had was not gonna be reversible. I had severe loss of my muscles in my hands, but also nerve damage. I didn't have an option, but I had to retire. If you Tyson E Franklin: had picked it up earlier, could you have prevented this from happening or was it inevitable that it was going to happen? Dana Cardinas: Well, it was inevitable [00:22:00] because I didn't know what I had at the time. Yeah. Which as we'll continue the conversation you'll hear. At she diagnosed me with idiopathic ulnar neuropathy. Because we went through all the tests, all the blood work tests, the MRIs of my neck, you name it, trying to find a reason for this to have happened suddenly , which we never came up with a reason. I ended up getting an ulnar release on my right side that helped the pain. And, but I was officially retired March 31st. Of 2016. So within 90 days I found out I had basically permanent neuropathy in my hands. That was with a sudden onset and I was retired, but out. Tyson E Franklin: How old were you then? Dana Cardinas: I was, at the time I was 46. Tyson E Franklin: Unexpected. Yeah. Dana Cardinas: Very unexpected. That was not on the [00:23:00] bingo card for that year, Tyson at all. Tyson E Franklin: It's, yeah, it's like those yeah, one of those things like death pill, you people bet on who's gonna pass away that year. You never would've thought in 2015 and we had caught up in October, 2015. Yeah, within six months you'd be retired. That'd be it. And I still remember the photo of us in 2015 where I had my cactus shirt on. Remember before, before we went out into the desert and you thought it was hilarious. Dana Cardinas: I just, that photo just popped up on my phone as a memory the other day. Yes. Tyson E Franklin: It is a great photo. Dana Cardinas: It's the best. Yeah. And Tyson E Franklin: I always tell people that too, that it's one of those things, just life in general, you don't know. What's going to happen. And it's, and you can't sit there in fear thinking, oh, is this going to happen? But every now and then you will be thrown a, a curve ball and it's how you bounce back. Dana Cardinas: Right. It's true. I I was not expecting the curve balls that would happen [00:24:00] after that. Tyson E Franklin: Yeah, for sure. I know there were more curve balls. Dana Cardinas: And they kept coming for a while. But, so here I am, I'm done. I had no idea what I was gonna do next. So tried a few things here and there, but it just didn't, that, it just didn't, wasn't supposed to pan out, to be honest. It just wasn't supposed to because. In January of 2018 I was having some pain in my abdomen, my lower abdomen like right lower quadrant pain, and I kept putting it off to, oh, it's probably gas. It's probably this, it's what we all do as physicians. Ah, I'm fine. It's whatever. Yeah. We think we know. And so, my wife Becky said, will you just go get it checked out? You are really complaining about it, you should actually get it checked out. So I go see the GI doc, explain what I've got going [00:25:00] on, and he was like, you know what? It sounds like it's nothing because I did have a history of like acid reflux and some GI stuff. And he is like, it's probably nothing but let's just do an upper or lower endoscopy and let's just see. Tyson E Franklin: Yeah. And were you the, and were you the windy one in the relationship? Dana Cardinas: Yes, most definitely. Tyson E Franklin: And that's why always when you had that pain, first thing you think, oh, it's just gas again, right? Yeah. Dana Cardinas: Just gas, whatever. Yeah. And so, I won't ever forget January 8th, 2018, I have my scopes and as I'm laying in recovery, waking up, I hear the GI Doc tell Becky. The upper is fine. She has colon cancer though. She has a large tumor in her colon. And I was like, and I just remember laying there thinking what the, [00:26:00] I have cancer. Tyson E Franklin: Yeah. Be thinking of the same thing. Dana Cardinas: I have cancer, like the real cancer. And so, Tyson E Franklin: the real one. Dana Cardinas: Yeah, like the real one. So I ended up he couldn't complete the colonoscopy because the tumor was too big for him to pass it. So, that, that day was a blur. And then the next day I called my friend, who was a colorectal surgeon that I sat on a board with at one of the hospitals. And said, cliff guess what? I need you. And he basically said, I'll see you in the morning. And then right after that phone call, I called my good friend who is an oncologist who I used to call. When I got those reports back, you know when you do biopsies in the office and it comes back melanoma and you're like, oh shit, melanoma on a [00:27:00] toe. I don't need to be seeing this. Yeah. This is not my, she was the one that I would call to say, Heidi, who's the best oncologist? Oncological surgeon that needs this. She was my sounding board when I got those strange things back, and so I called her and said, Heidi. Guess what? I need you. And she said, okay, I'll see you when Cliff is done with you. And they literally became my team overnight. And they talked to each other before I even got to the, his office the next morning. They had a plan in place for me. And so I had CT scans. The next day saw him. I've come to find out I had a very large tumor that was over 10 inches long, and it was almost 99% occluding in my colon. So likely had I gone another couple of weeks, a month I probably would [00:28:00] not be here. Yeah. Because Dana Cardinas: it, it would've just ended me. So, then. Fast forward after that, he did surgery. I lost 27 inches of my ascending and transverse colon, but he was able to reconnect re anastomosis both ends so that I did not end up with a bag, which I wasn't excited about, if I was gonna have to have one. But if it kept me alive, okay, fine. Me, I would've made a ton of jokes out of it, and it would've been like, Tyson E Franklin: Oh, you've carried around like a handbag. Dana Cardinas: Oh God, yes. It would've happened. Yeah. But for me it did not have to happen. So, once I healed from that, six weeks later started chemo, went through eight months of chemo that was probably the worst thing I've ever been through. Because now let's flash back a little bit. Yeah. On the neuropathy part. [00:29:00] Okay. We didn't know at the time in 2016 why I had neuropathy. But after I retired and before I found out I was diagnosed with cancer, I kept breaking out on these full body hives. And I don't mean like itty bitty tiny hives, hives, massive four six inches hives all over my body. I was going through the treatment of trying to figure out what environmental food, what allergy did I have that was causing this. But in talking with my oncologist, she put all of my picture together. And what I had was perine neoplastic syndrome, which is rare. But it's the cancer that I had growing in me that I didn't know I had. Was causing the hives that gave me the wonderful neuropathy and a few other things. And so that's so that Tyson E Franklin: there are all signs of something else was actually happening anyway. Dana Cardinas: Yes. I just didn't, I just didn't know that's, and per neoplastic syndrome is something that is diagnosed. After the [00:30:00] fact. It is rarely something that some physician would put together and say, oh, you have cancer because you have all these things happening. Yeah. It just doesn't work that way. Yeah. Tyson E Franklin: Real cancer. Dana Cardinas: Real cancer. Yeah. Tyson E Franklin: A another friend of mine exactly the same diagnosis around exactly the same time and that's why I, I. Way back. I wanted to get you on here way, way back. And I said the same thing to him. I wanted to get him on the podcast as well. And he's not with us anymore. Right? Tyson E Franklin: He didn't, he he got the bag and last time I saw him was actually on my birthday. I had to make him breakfast on my birthday. At his house? Yeah, at his house. 'cause he said, I want your favorite breakfast that you make. And I saw him then. He said, oh, they've told me I've got heaps of time. I'm gonna beat this. Everything's gonna be absolutely fantastic. And five weeks later he passed away. Dana Cardinas: Yeah. Tyson E Franklin: [00:31:00] And so, yeah, that, and that's why, Dana Cardinas: and I'm, I'm sorry, I'm sorry to hear that. Tyson, I, that breaks my heart, Tyson E Franklin: but Oh geez. That's why I think it's important to talk about this. Dana Cardinas: It's hugely important because I'm lucky. Tyson E Franklin: Yeah. Dana Cardinas: I know I'm lucky. I, when I was diagnosed stage three C. So I only had one more stage to go before I was stage four, and I was lucky that it had not spread to any other organs. But that was that I'm lucky in two regards in educating myself on colon cancer because as I was diagnosed, yeah, once you get past that first initial part of it and you get a plan. Once you get a plan, it's almost, that's when you can breathe. You can't breathe until you get a plan. But once you know [00:32:00] the, these, X, Y, and Z need to happen, and this is when we're gonna do it. That's when I started researching and and finding out more about the diagnosis and what does it mean and what does treatment mean and what am I looking at here? What, where am I gonna be here? And so, I was lucky enough that, someone else who had a family member that was going through colon cancer. She this wonderful person connected me with her and through her I got connected with a wonderful organization called Colon Town. And Colon Town is an online um, resource for patients that are going through colon cancer, but it's also for the caregivers and the, your, the spouses, the friends, anybody who is either affected by it, is a patient, any of [00:33:00] that. You can go to colontown.org to get more information about it. But I dove into it and it's right now it is on online, on Facebook. It's private. So you, everything we discuss in there, you, nobody else is gonna see it. It's just us. They are working their way off to a separate platform. That's even better, to be honest. But so I dove into it. And it made me feel better because I could talk to other people that were just like me, that were going through exactly what I was going through. But what the crazy part Tyson is while I'm going through chemo and my dang numbness is getting worse because the chemo that we have to go on that keeps us alive. Its number one side effect is peripheral neuropathy. Okay. And cold sensitivity. Oh God, it sucked. Oh, so my neuropathy went off the charts. Like, Tyson E Franklin: I shouldn't, I shouldn't be giggling when you say that. I, but you Dana Cardinas: [00:34:00] can because you, I mean you, oh God. The stories. But I would have my, had I ended up with full facial numbness, my tongue was numb most of the time. My, my chest was numb. Just there wasn't much of me that wasn't numb except my butt. Go figure. So there were so many questions that would come up in this group about how to deal with neuropathy that I noticed I was answering them because it was what we treated. And I knew the answer and I knew what could help. 'cause I was helping myself. That I reached out, eventually reached out to the creators of Colontown because in Colontown there's these little neighborhoods. So if you're stage four, you're in a certain neighborhood, so you can just have those specific conversations. Or if you are a certain genotype, then you have those conversations in that trials group maybe. And so I said, Hey, can I start a group for neuropathy? And they were like, yes, please, because we all have it. [00:35:00] And so I started a group inside Colon Town that is only for neuropathy and I it. Warms my heart because we have, within that group now created some treatment processes for those that are now going through chemo with the certain drug that we have to take where we now ice our hands and our feet so that it's reducing the neuropathy that people are getting now. And we started that as a patient led. Research project basically, and it is now becoming standard of care and it's the most fucking awesome thing I think I've ever done in my life. Tyson E Franklin: I think that is absolutely fantastic and what I like about it is you've used your knowledge in your experience as a Podiatry to actually help this group of people. Dana Cardinas: Yeah. Tyson E Franklin: I didn't see [00:36:00] that Dana Cardinas: coming. Tyson E Franklin: Yeah. Right. Dana Cardinas: Unexpectedly. I didn't see it coming. Tyson E Franklin: Yeah. I always say everything's supposed to happen for a reason. Exactly. And sometimes I do question a lot of things that happen and I like to think there's a reason behind it. Yeah. My dad passed away when he was 49. I was only 17. I kept thinking, where's the reason? And that, yeah, Tyson E Franklin: there's certain things I changed in my life around that time afterwards that I wouldn't, probably wouldn't be doing what I'm doing now or had the career I had if. I hadn't got that kick back then. Yeah. I would've had a different path that I was on. So I think it's the same with you. You've had a few crazy things happen and now you're on this completely different path. So when did you get the the tick, the all clear Dana Cardinas: so I got the all clear? October of 2018. That we call it no evidence of disease. Yeah. Because I'm a stage three CI never get cured. I, I will forever, my whole life be monitored. [00:37:00] But I've been clear ever since. I just saw the, my oncologist, in fact, I retired, my friend she left me to go travel the world and so I'm working, I'm breaking in a new one, and I like her a Tyson E Franklin: lot. So how often needs to get checked? Dana Cardinas: So now I just graduated, so once a year. Woo. It's awesome. Tyson E Franklin: That is good news. Dana Cardinas: I know it is. Tyson E Franklin: So now, now you've got through all that and retired from Podiatry, your Helping ColonTown I, oh, by the way, I love that t-shirt. Was that your design? That t-shirt? Dana Cardinas: The. Tyson E Franklin: The one I read out before that says colorectal cancer awareness, because that shit matters. That shit matters. Yes. Tyson E Franklin: That's a great t-shirt. And then you've got, on the t-shirt, you've got all the names of what people who have had colon cancer, what they would call their poo. Dana Cardinas: Yeah, their poo. And Tyson E Franklin: I like dookie. I haven't heard dookie for a while. [00:38:00] Dana Cardinas: Oh my gosh. The stink pickle. That's my favorite one. Tyson E Franklin: That's my favorite one. I like the Corn Eyed butt snake that this is all by the way. People just let you know this is all on a t-shirt, which I think is very funny. Um, Code brown goat pellets nuggets. Dana Cardinas: I did, I asked all of my friends, okay, what do you call it? And I had my good friend Lauren, who is a graphic artist I said, okay, Lauren, here's all the name here. Here's what we call it. And I used the poop emoji and put it all in there. And he did a phenomenal job. Tyson E Franklin: In the show notes, I'm gonna put a copy of this shirt, the front and back because it is a hilarious shirt. And I think you give everyone a bit of a laugh too. I like the head of, they have put here turd. It's basic. It's basic. It's very basic. And somebody else did put shit. Dana Cardinas: Yes. Tyson E Franklin: Basics. I dunno what a shoey is. That's a little bit weird. In Australia shoe's called a [00:39:00] Completely a shoey is drinking a beer out of a, out of a jogger. That's called a shoey. Oh Dana Cardinas: No. A shoe chewy that, yeah, that's a stinky one. Yeah. Whoof, that's That's a big one. Tyson E Franklin: Yeah. Ah, that's like shoe fly pie. Dana Cardinas: No, Tyson E Franklin: No, that's completely different. That's actually quite nice. Dana Cardinas: Good. That's awesome. Have you had Tyson E Franklin: that? Have you had shoe fly pie? I Dana Cardinas: did when I was in Philly. Yes. Yeah. Tyson E Franklin: Yes. That's pretty good in the I got it. Good. I got it from this town called Intercourse. Dana Cardinas: I, that's where I had it too. That's right next to Birden hand. Tyson E Franklin: Yeah. Where the arm where the Amish. The Amish had the shop there. Yes. And they were selling shoe fly pie where I Dana Cardinas: had it. Yeah. That's awesome. Tyson E Franklin: And people don't think this podcast is education. Dana Cardinas: There's so much education here. Tyson E Franklin: Some people think this show's not educational. Dana Cardinas: Tyson, I could go on and on about poop. Tyson E Franklin: So now you have your own business. You've set up something else called One Stop [00:40:00] Promotional Products. And if people are looking for it, it's one. The number one. One stop promotional products.com. Dana Cardinas: Yes. Tyson E Franklin: People can go check it all out. Actually, Dana Cardinas: either way, you can put one, the number one or spill out one both ways. We'll get you there. Tyson E Franklin: Oh, cool. Okay. I wasn't quite sure. So OneStop promotional products.com. So this is your business that you're doing now. All promotional products? Yeah. You are servicing mostly America. Do you ship it overseas or anything like that? Dana Cardinas: No. Right now we're not doing anything overseas 'cause it's a little too crazy for that right now. Yeah. But we do we are. Mostly 95% B2B. And we love it. We love it. We have two airlines and 175 active companies that we work with monthly. Oh, cool. And adding more, we add more weekly. It's a lot of fun. Tyson E Franklin: Who? Yeah. Well, I'm gonna order something and pick it up when I come over. In December. Dana Cardinas: Oh my God. Oh my God. And I'm gonna put [00:41:00] a big stink pickle on it. I'm gonna say you that right now, Tyson E Franklin: but the get ready. So how did you get into this? What was the OO Obviously like you retired young. Dana Cardinas: Yeah. Tyson E Franklin: And you, did you end up selling the practice? Dana Cardinas: I sold my shares in the practice. So the other docs were still there practicing. Yeah. And so they were not ready to retire yet, obviously. No, they were still doing it. They were, they, we were all pretty much the same age, so they were still doing their thing. So I, I sold my shares and got out. Tyson E Franklin: Okay. And then being young, as you still are. In my eyes Dana Cardinas: absolutely Tyson E Franklin: is this, how, why you, we gotta do something else. And that's how this came about. Dana Cardinas: It was totally by accident, a hundred percent accident. I go going through the cancer thing. I didn't do anything that year. Obviously. Yeah. Dana Cardinas: But in 2019 my wife and I were. Talking about, well, you know, let's, let's do something for fun. I'm getting bored. I need to do something with my hands. I like building things. [00:42:00] And somebody said, Hey, what, why don't you get one of those cricket machines and make signs? And a cricket machine is like a machine that you can send a design to. And it'll cut it out for you and then you can, put the vinyl or whatever Yeah. On side. Okay. That sounds fun. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And so, I was just doing it for fun and our local Mexican food restaurant that we go to entirely too much. But I refuse to stop going. They were like family and they said, Hey, you're doing some fun stuff. Do, can you make t-shirts? Because their staff, their shirts were horrible. They were truly horrible. And I, that night, we said, you know what? We don't know how, but we'll figure it out. Yeah. Dana Cardinas: 'Cause they needed shirts, so we went home. We bought a cheap Amazon press. I watched about 10 YouTube videos and was like, screw it. Let's make some shirts. And so we literally did their, that year it was their Cinco de Mayo shirts and they all it said was [00:43:00] Margarita's Mexican restaurant on it. That's it, that's all it said. But we made them and they could not have been happier with them. And. Customer said, Hey, where'd you get your new shirt? And they said, Dana. And Becky. And then next thing you know, they, we got more business and more business. And it got to where we said we might need to figure out how to do this with more professional equipment. Yeah. And Dana Cardinas: so we upgraded to more professional equipment, as you can see behind me. Tyson E Franklin: Yep. You can see it all there. Dana Cardinas: And now we run two heat presses, two professional heat presses on a regular base daily and just added this fabulous two head embroidery machine behind me. So we didn't have to outsource that anymore. And so, we do apparel, no minimums in house, which is awesome. But then if you need things like pens or name badges or you name it, literally anything you can think of, [00:44:00] lip balm. Lip balm. Yes. Lip balm. Lip balm. Dana Cardinas: We work with wholesalers for that and so we can, we have access to over 2 million products, which is fun. Tyson E Franklin: I know when I was on the website having a look around there was, it was so much fun looking at everything. And I was think as a Podiatry business, and I've got some Podiatry. One particular Podiatry friend called Carly who just loves swag. But Tyson E Franklin: anything that's branded and got names on it. Right. Just, Tyson E Franklin: and I must admit, I've got so many t-shirts, I've got like 200 t-shirts that I won't part with half my t-shirts. I've picked up at events, podcasting conferences and I just love, I'm the same thing. I just love that sort of stuff. Dana Cardinas: Right. Well, and the so again. Something I didn't see heading my way was all the things that I learned at top practices in day freeze and reading Jim Palmer, all those things. That is [00:45:00] now what we do. Tyson E Franklin: Yeah. Dana Cardinas: So we are that, that aspect of your business that keeps people top of mind. And that's the fun part because I have a little different spin on how we present products. I'm not gonna present you just a cheap cozy which a lot of companies will do because it's a cheap, cozy. Yeah. I'm gonna, if you are an electrician, I'm gonna present you something that is for your field that a customer is gonna want for the rest of their life they're never gonna get rid of. They're gonna keep it, and they're gonna call you over and over again. And that's why we keep getting business. Tyson E Franklin: Yeah that's a really good point. I've been to places where they'll have promotional products and it is cheap. I mean, You'll, you're trying, it's cheap. You're write with the pen and you've got RSI before you've written about the fourth word. 'cause it's just, there's so much resistance against the paper. Yeah. Or you'll bring something home [00:46:00] and your first time you use it, it just breaks. And to me, that makes a business look bad when they hand out crap swag. Exactly. Whereas if they hand a quality swag that you use again and again, then all of a sudden it, it actually puts that business in a positive light in your mind. Dana Cardinas: Right. And it keeps them top of mind. Yeah. Like, it truly does. Give them that up. Advantage over maybe somebody else. We and a lot of times I talk to customers, potential clients that say, okay, I want five different things. And I'm like, well, what's your budget? And they made me say, 500 bucks, $500. I'm like, all right, let's get one really good quality. Swag item. Yeah. For $500, let's not get a hundred of all these other little things, because all those other little things are gonna go in the trash. But this one really cool thing is gonna sit on somebody's desk and they're gonna look at it every day.[00:47:00] Tyson E Franklin: Yeah. I, well, I got stubby holders done stubby coolers. Your coozies as you call 'em over there 15 years ago before I sold the clinic. And I've still got a number of 'em here at home that I still use, and I've gone to people's places and I've seen them sitting with their stubby holders. Right. With a stubby in it. 15 years, after having them made. And they are still looking solid. They're still, yeah. Right. Dana Cardinas: Yeah. That's Tyson E Franklin: quality. Dana Cardinas: That's what we're all about. And that's one of our taglines is quality products only. That's the focus. Tyson E Franklin: I don't Dana Cardinas: want just walking around with a bunch of cheap shit. Let's go with some something good quality. Tyson E Franklin: Well think everyone listening to this, they that. To me that just applies to everything in life. Even your Podiatry business is provide a quality service. If you are gonna buy machinery, get the best that you can. Just get the best. Exactly. 'cause it will last longer. Give the patients the best. Whether it's covering [00:48:00] material or what you're getting the orthotics made of, just do, I think just always do the best you can. Dana Cardinas: Right, right. And if it costs a little bit more, explain to the patient or the customer who, whoever you're talking to. Tell them, okay, it's, it costs more because there's more going into this one. I've there's more time. The product's better. The craftsmanship is better. There's education behind it. It's not just, oh, I went online and ordered a pin from I don't know where, and I don't know who makes it and whatever. Spend the time and talk to your patients, especially because if there's something that you should be offering, but you're not because you don't think they'll buy it, they're buying it on Amazon, so why can't they buy it from you? But it's a better product if you're getting it from a reputable vendor or you know that, okay, this product is a better product than what they're getting on Amazon. Why can't they spend money with you versus Amazon? [00:49:00] Tyson E Franklin: It's true, and even the pen that I use most. This one is from a Podiatry clinic friend of mine, sole focus in Toowoomba. Nice. Dana Cardinas: Ooh. It is a, it is my God. SAT is my top seller. This is a Tyson E Franklin: beautiful pen to write with. And whenever I run out she usually sends me a few more. Dana Cardinas: I'll get you some. Tyson E Franklin: Just, they just really good pens. It just the feel of it. And because, and she got the whole pen done, like in her corporate colors, what her clinic is all about as well. And yeah. And she said the same thing. Wanted a quality pen, wanted something. When people write with it, they go, I want another one of these pens when they run out. And that's exactly what I do. But I do see it so she doesn't have to send it to me. I'll just pick some up next time I'm down there. So on. On that note, I want to thank you for coming on the podcast, sharing what got you into Podiatry, what got you out of Podiatry, which I think is just as important and what you're doing there. And like I said at the start, I just, I've [00:50:00] always loved your energy. Love chatting with you. You're so much fun to be around. Dana Cardinas: Thank you, Tyson. I, well, same is right back at you. I think as soon as we met. There was no doubt we were going to be destined to be lifelong friends because we laughed too much together. For sure. So, and before we get off, I will just say this if you are 45 or older and you haven't had a colonoscopy, please get one. They're not scary. All you do is poop the night, the day before and everybody poops. So it's, that's not scary. But get it done. And if you are not 45, but you're having symptoms force your doc to get you in to get it done you really just need to get it checked out. So, it'll save your life. Tyson E Franklin: That is fantastic. So I look forward to talking to you again soon. Oh, and I'll see you in December anyway. Dana Cardinas: Yes. Can't wait. Tyson E Franklin: Okay. Talk to you later. Bye. Dana Cardinas: Bye.

In this episode of Ask a Responsive Fundraiser, we're joined by Emily Rasmussen, founder of Grapevine, the platform behind the growing Giving Circle movement. Emily brings over 15 years of experience in nonprofit leadership, impact finance, and community organizing. She shares how responsive fundraisers can shift from transactional giving to relational belonging. You'll hear: • What it actually means to build a donor community • Why collaborative giving is on the rise (and what's driving it) • How to recognize the real competition for donor attention • Why peer connections often build more trust than staff alone • How to scale relationship-building without scaling headcount The average across the nonprofit industry is that only 2% of new donations are set up to recur. On Grapevine, more than 50% of new donations are set up to recur. By inviting donors into genuine community (not just another appeal cycle) nonprofits can unlock generosity, deepen trust, and increase lifetime value. Connect with Emily & More Resources: • How to start a Giving Circle for your Nonprofit - it's a very fast and easy process to get started • Harnessing Collaborative Impact: How Giving Circles Elevate Nonprofits • Connect with Grapevine

Natural wine is a growing movement in Catalonia, rooted in both tradition and innovation. With diverse terroirs and a long winemaking history, regions such as Penedès, Alt Empordà, Conca de Barberà and Terra Alta & Priorat have become hubs for natural winemakers. This week on Filling the Sink we find out what natural wine is, who is making it and why Catalonia is gaining recognition on the global natural wine scene. Producer Rafa Camps from La Natural describes the challenges of small-scale natural wine production, including climate change and spontaneous fermentation. Experts Benji Sher and Ida Mogren from the natural wine education centre SucSuc explain the philosophy behind natural wine, rooted in ethics and sustainability. We visit the natural wine restaurant Amateur in Barcelona to meet owner Marco Bolatti and chef Tomás Esmoris and discover the cuisine and aesthetic which accompany the Catalan natural wine boom and which appeal to younger, less traditional wine drinkers. Plus reporter Cillian Shields joins host Beth Cohen to review some key natural wine terminology and discuss the up-and-coming natural wine bars in Barcelona. This week, our Catalan phrase is “Bon vi fa bon cor” - “Good wine makes a good heart”. It's a classic saying which expresses the belief that wine, enjoyed in moderation, brings joy and warmth to the soul.

Why is it that in a town like Celina, Texas—where “shop local” is more than a mantra—so many homes are listed by real estate agents from Frisco, Plano, Dallas, or even Grapevine? In this eye-opening episode, Ron Lyons digs into the numbers and discovers a shocking reality: out of 20 active listings sampled in downtown Celina, only 4 are represented by local Celina Realtors. Ron Lyons brings over three decades of Celina experience to the mic as he unpacks: -How out-of-town agents often miss the “heartbeat” of Celina. -Why hiring local agents matters more than ever in today's shifting buyer's market. -The surprising traps sellers fall into with overpriced vacant lots and market-worn listings. -And what really separates a true professional from a fallback agent. From Friday night lights at Bobcat Stadium to the charm of the downtown square, Ron Lyons knows Celina like few others—and in this episode, he explains why that knowledge can mean the difference between your home selling fast or sitting for months. Whether you're a buyer, seller, or simply love hearing the inside story of Celina's growth, this episode is packed with stories, insights, and no-nonsense advice you won't hear anywhere else. #CelinaTexas #CelinaTX #CelinaRealEstate #RonLyonsRealEstate #TexasRealEstate #LifeInCelina #DiscoverCelina #DowntownCelina #SupportLocal #HousingMarketUpdate #BuyersMarket #SellersMarket #RealtorTalk #DreamHome #HouseHunting #ListYourHome #RealEstatePodcast #CelinaCommunity #YourCelinaRealtor #RealEstateAdvice

It's Thursday, June 19th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus Christian Indonesian boy died after Muslim students beat him An eight-year-old Christian boy died in Indonesia from a ruptured appendix on May 26th. This came days after older Muslim students beat him severely, sending him to the hospital.  Khristopel Butarbutar faced bullying for his faith leading up to his death. Morning Star News reports his father said, “A week before, he had been bullied a lot. The perpetrators speak about his ethnicity, his religion.” Sadly, bullying at schools in Indonesia is escalating. There were 1,478 cases in 2023, up from 119 cases in 2020. Psalm 116:15 says, “Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints.” United Kingdom decriminalized abortion up to birth The U.K. House of Commons voted Tuesday to effectively decriminalize abortion up to birth in England and Wales. The amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill ends the prosecution of women for getting an abortion at any stage of pregnancy. The measure must also pass in the House of Lords.  Catherine Robinson with Right To Life UK said, “This is the first time this extreme abortion amendment has been debated in the House of Commons, and there has been no consultation with the public on this seismic law change. We will be fighting this amendment at every stage in the [House of] Lords.” Supreme Court upholds state's right to ban transgender surgeries for kids In the United States, the Supreme Court upheld a Tennessee law yesterday that protects minors from transgender drugs and surgeries. The high court ruled 6-3 in the case. The liberal dissenters were Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan. and Ketanji Brown Jackson. Chief Justice John Roberts, who authored the majority opinion, wrote that the issue should be decided by the state. He said, “Having concluded that [the law] does not [violate the equal protection clause], we leave questions regarding its policy to the people, their elected representatives, and the democratic process.” The ruling will also support 26 other states with similar laws to protect children from transgender drugs and surgeries.  Kraft/Heinz will cut artificial dyes from food The Kraft Heinz Company announced Tuesday it will cut artificial dyes from its U.S. food products by 2027. This comes after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced measures in April to phase out petroleum-based synthetic dyes from the nation's food supply. U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. said, “For too long, some food producers have been feeding Americans petroleum-based chemicals without their knowledge or consent. … That era is coming to an end.” Daily Bible readers thrive more than non-daily Bible readers The American Bible Society released the third chapter of its State of the Bible USA 2025 report. The survey used the Human Flourishing Index from Harvard University which measures six domains of life, including satisfaction, health, purpose, character, and social relationships. The report found people who read the Bible every day scored 7.9 out of 10 on the index compared to 6.8 for those who never read the Bible. Also, younger generations tend to have the lowest levels of flourishing. However, both Gen Zers and Millennials who engage regularly with Scripture scored an impressive average of 8.1 on the index.  Psalm 119:105 says, “Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” Old Nordic letters carved into Canadian bedrock spell the Lord's Prayer Archaeologists recently announced the meaning of centuries-old Nordic runes, or alphabet letters, that were carved into the Canadian bedrock, reports CBC News.  Ryan Primrose, the director of the Ontario Centre for Archaeological Education, has been studying the letters since their discovery in 2018.  He believes they were written by Swedes who were hired to work at trading posts in the Canadian wilderness in the 1800s.  The 255 characters of Nordic runes or alphabet actually spell out the words of the Lord's Prayer in Swedish. They appear to come from a 1611 runic version of the prayer. The runes cover a square of about four feet by five feet and probably took weeks to carve. Worldview listeners in Texas and California share their hearts I invited Worldview listeners to share what they enjoy about the newscast in 2-6 sentences by email.  You can share your thoughts — along with your full name, city and state — and send it to adam@TheWorldview.com Christy Quinn in Grapevine, Texas said, “We love listening to The Worldview in 5 Minutes as a family. My 10-year-old says she enjoys hearing about Christians around the world, what they are doing to God's glory and how the world treats them. I enjoy the Biblical perspective on current events and politics including those sound bites. The intro music and your closing ‘Seize the day for Jesus Christ' is a hit. My kids are excited to listen.” Ben Duhem in Eureka, California said, “The Worldview helps my wife and I stay on the same page about certain topics and geopolitical events. I read dozens of articles every day and am extremely well-informed about current events, but I mostly carry the burden alone. “I like to keep my wife and children in somewhat of a protective bubble to maintain their innocence, joy, and hope. When I share too much of what I read, my wife becomes very disheartened. She is busy homeschooling, gardening, cooking, and cleaning, all day, every day. So, she does not have time to read the news or process the political analysis that I used to try to distill for her. “The Worldview is the one source of news she tries to make time for each day. It's short and sweet. And she receives inspiration from the scriptures and calls to join in prayer. So, it's the one source of news that she asks me about and we discuss and pray about together. It helps us stay bonded.” 3 Worldview listeners gave $849 to fund our annual budget And finally, toward our $92,625 goal by this Friday, June 20th  to fund three-quarters of The Worldview newscast's annual budget for our 6-member team, 3  listeners stepped up to the plate.

Is the choice for women just farm or corner office?Join Ariana Guajardo on The Sweet Tea Series as she dives into the 10th annual Young Women's Leadership Summit hosted by Turning Point USA in Grapevine, Texas. Ariana reflects on the evolving role of women in the conservative movement, exploring cultural shifts, motherhood, and the balance between career and family. She breaks down speeches from Dana Loesch, Charlie Kirk, Erika Kirk, and Brett Cooper, and discusses key topics like Second Amendment rights for women, the tension in modern dating, and the dangers of rigid traditionalism. Ariana also challenges stereotypes, advocating for a conservatism that empowers women to shape society through family, community, and policy engagement. She explores what it means to be a conservative woman today, the importance of civic education, and how women can reclaim social institutions to strengthen America's future. Follow @spillingsweettea on Instagram and subscribe to the Texas Public Policy Foundation's YouTube channel for more episodes!Link to socials & more: https://linktr.ee/sweetteaseriesKeywords: Conservative women, Young Women's Leadership Summit, Turning Point USA, TPUSA, Dana Loesch, Second Amendment, motherhood, traditionalism, conservative movement, women in politics, cultural issues, civic education, Texas Public Policy Foundation.

It's Monday, June 9th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Myanmar ceasefire extended to June 30 despite consistent violations The military junta ruling Myanmar announced last week that it would extend a temporary ceasefire, originally established in early April, to June 30, reports International Christian Concern. A massive earthquake struck the country in late March, killing 3,700 people and necessitating extensive relief work in hard-hit civilian areas.  Opposition militias agreed to the extended ceasefire, creating hope for improved humanitarian conditions in June despite regular junta violations of the ceasefire up to now. In the first three weeks of the ceasefire alone, the U.N. tracked at least 172 junta attacks, including airstrikes and artillery assaults.  The open-source research group Bellingcat documented that at least 22 villages were bombed by the junta in violation of the ceasefire agreement.  Senator Cruz wants June to be “Life” month because Roe was overturned Last Thursday, Republican Senator Ted Cruz of Texas introduced a resolution to designate June as Life month to honor the anniversary of the Supreme Court's monumental Dobbs decision to overturn Roe v. Wade on June 24, 2022. CRUZ: “Three years ago, the Supreme Court made an historic advance in the cause of life in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization.  The court overturned Roe v. Wade, a flawed decision that for nearly 50 years enshrined one of the most disturbing notions in our constitutional history: that the Constitution somehow protects the right to end the life of an unborn child. “The fact is, Roe had nothing to do with the Constitution. It was invented whole cloth. It was the product of judicial activism, nine justices legislating from the bench. And that dangerous path took decades to correct. “Thankfully, in 2022, Roe was overturned.  Dobbs did not impose any new policies from the bench. Instead, the task of protecting life falls where it always should have been -- not in the hands of unelected judges, but in the hands of the American people.” Canadian pastor imprisoned for objecting to Drag Queen Story Hour Calgary Pastor Derek Reimer, a street preacher who has had the courage to object to drag queen story hours for children in libraries, is back in jail in Alberta, Canada, reports the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. The conviction came after Reimer confronted a library manager over a Drag Queen Story Hour event, reports Rebel News. Wearing a GoPro, he walked into the library, spoke to a few attendees, and eventually found the room where the event was taking place. He told the manager the program was "pervert grooming" and warned, "We're going to make your name public and hold you accountable." Security escorted him out peacefully. Later, he posted the video online — along with the manager's name, workplace, and the library phone number — calling on viewers to voice their opposition. Only one person reportedly contacted her, but the librarian testified that she became afraid of what might happen next. She shut down her social media accounts and said Reimer's words left her anxious and fearful. The 38-year-old pastor was arrested and accused of breaching the house arrest condition of his sentence for simply participating in a public rally before his own court appearance. Pastor Reimer, who has now been jailed unjustly at the Calgary Remand Centre for over a month, has been treated badly. The judicial officials have blocked all visitors from seeing him, even the ones who were pre-approved. The only ones allowed to visit Pastor Reimer are his wife, Mona, and their baby. Derek's lawyer, Andrew Mackenzie, hopes that media attention on Reimer's unfair treatment will lead to a more positive outcome. Concerned Christian friends have been gathering for a rally of support at the Remand Centre every Sunday afternoon at 4:30pm, protesting Pastor Reimer's incarceration and bail denial. Please pray for justice to be served on Pastor Reimer's next court date on Monday, June 23rd. On  June 5th, Pastor Reimer posted Psalm 138:7 on his Facebook page.  It says, “Though I am surrounded by troubles, [God] You will protect me from the anger of my enemies, You reach out Your hand and the power of Your right hand saves me.” Learn more or donate to his legal defense at SavePastorDerek.com. The American Miracle movie tells story of former slaves fighting British The American Miracle movie debuts tonight in 1,000 theaters across America for three days only! Based on Michael Medved's book by the same name, it tells the story of God's hand in the founding of the United States. TESTIMONIAL 1: “I thought it was extraordinary just to see the hand of God on the United States of America. It's absolutely undeniable! The schools are doing everything they can to erase our history. We have an opportunity and an obligation to share the true history of the country.” Cameron Arnett, a black Christian actor known for films by the Kendrick Brothers like The Forge and Overcomer, said this. ARNETT: “I play Peter Salem. He gets introduced to George Washington as a hero of the Battle of Bunker Hill. What I love about this kind of stuff is that we are now unearthing a slew of black heroes that we weren't fortunate enough to grow up with, but that our children will be able to grow up with, because now the stories are being told.” Pastor Darnell Harper of New Covenant Temple was amazed. HARPER: “One of the aspects that touched me a lot was the African-American experience in the founding of our nation and in the battles that we fought, how there was a spirit of unity that we don't hear a lot about today.” The enthusiasm for The American Miracle movie is contagious. TESTIMONIAL 2: “Something that I've learned in the film tonight is that we cannot underestimate how great our God is and how powerful He is and how much He does govern the affairs of men.” Indeed, Daniel 4:17 says, “The Most High is sovereign over all kingdoms on Earth.” Go to www.AmericanMiracleMovie.com, watch the trailer, click on the Tickets tab, type in your zipcode, and purchase tickets for tonight, Tuesday or Wednesday since it's only in the theaters for three days. 5 reasons Diana in Glendale, Arizona likes The Worldview Diana Munday in Glendale, Arizona wrote me at Adam@TheWorldview.com.  She said “First, I know you and the founders to be followers of Jesus Christ and accountable to Him for what you read and write. Second, you are a source I trust having initially listened to your talk show in San Antonio and meeting you and your family many times over the years in my daughter's home. “Third, you suggest action steps to take to let our opinion be known. Fourth, you link us to sources so we can verify and read additional information. And fifth, your voice has become one that reassures me in the midst of this sometimes confusing and chaotic world we inhabit until Christ returns.  After time with Christ and being in His Word, you are my next best way to start my day.” 9 Worldview listeners gave $1,305 to fund our annual budget Toward last week's $30,875 goal to fund one-fourth of The Worldview newscast's annual budget by last Friday night, 9 listeners stepped up to the plate.

Jeffrey tells Don and Sam about his experience in prison and how he picked up a Grapevine magazine by mistake, and then later the Big Book found him and wouldn't let go. These publications opened his eyes, and he jumped at the first chance to attend an AA meeting. Jeffrey wrote a story that appears in the June 2025 prison issue of Grapevine. On this episode, Jeffrey relates his drinking story including scary health problems, and humorous anecdotes—like getting kicked out of a hard-core drinking club.

In this episode, Grapevine publisher Jón Trausti Sigurðarson is joined by Heimildin editor Aðalsteinn Kjartansson, and Grapevine friend and contributor Sindri Eldon to roundup the stories making headlines in recent weeks. On the docket this week are: ✨We discuss an upcoming storm warning for the whole island. Iceland is expecting strong winds with near freezing temperatures and snow expected in the north and east of the island.✨ We discuss the parking fees in and around popular tourist locations in Iceland, also known as the habit of charging people for nothing. ✨ From June 1, 2025 swimming pools in Reykjavík will be open until 22:00 in the evenings until August 31, adding a welcome hour to the hot tub soaking of the many pool fans of Reykjavík. The pools had historically been open until 22:00, but those hours were cut by the city in April 2024 in order to save money. Since it is estimated that the extra hour will cost the city just 7 million ISK, keeping the pools open for the extra hour for a whole year would cost 28 million ISK. A puny amount of money in a city of almost 150.000 inhabitants.✨ On the last day of May a concert was held at Laugardalshöll stadium to commemorate a 14 year anniversary of a popular radio show called FM95BLÖ. The show, which featured numerous popular pop artists including Jóhanna Guðrún of Eurovision fame, Prettyboytjokkó, Birnir and Herra Hnetusmjör, to name a few. Around 10.000 people showed up, and due to a mixture of overcrowding and organisational failures, numerous people had to seek medical help, though nobody is reported to have been badly injured.✨A protest took place in Austurvöllur in front of Iceland's parliament this Saturday. “We are not racists” said the organizer of the protest, Sigfús Aðalsteinsson. We discuss.✨An Icelander in his early 40s was stopped by the police in the last week of May while driving in Akureyri. A breathalyser test indicated that the man was under the influence of alcohol, yet the man claimed to have never drunk alcohol in his life. After an argument with the police officer who conducted the breathalyser test, the man was allowed to rinse his mouth of the sourdough sandwich he had been consuming. The subsequent test showed that he had not been drinking and according to the driver this annoyed the police officer somewhat.
