For its 300th episode, Where Brains Meet Beauty highlights two women who prove that creative careers rarely follow a straight line. Celebrity hairstylist and makeup artist Sarai Martinez and influencer and UGC creator Tania Grover share how childhood dreams, unexpected pivots and sheer perseverance shaped the paths they are on today.Sarai always knew she wanted to be a hairstylist, even drafting a sixth grade project imagining her future salon career. But family expectations and finances pushed her into fashion school, then insurance work, then years of assisting in high-end Boston salons on late nights and little pay. Marriage, kids and discouraging mentors led to a long break before she rebuilt her confidence, found supportive leadership and stepped back into artistry full-time. Today she works with prestige clients, balances her “Sarai by Day” influencer presence and stays grounded by choosing collaboration over diva moments on set.Tania's journey started in high school with dance videos she posted “for fun” until brands began sliding into her DMs. Content creation followed her through college ambassador gigs, paid brand deals and internships she earned through her TikTok skills. Still, she keeps a full-time tech job that offers stability and flexibility while she builds her creator career. Her schedule is relentless - early mornings filming, editing during commutes, posting across multiple accounts but she thrives on the structure and maintains tight creative control, supported by a manager who handles negotiations.Both women talk openly about burnout, comparison, the pressure to constantly post and the often hidden emotional labor behind both artistry and influencing. Their shared message: trust your path, turn the detours into fuel, and don't underestimate the power of a “practical” job to give you freedom, options and the confidence to say no.
Prophecy Radio episode #152 offers wooly thoughts alongside a discussion of Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2, episode 6, “Nobody Gets the Fleece.” There's also some news to discuss, as well as a recap of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians Official Podcast, which features guests Aleks Pauvnoic, Albert Kim, and the incomparable Andrew McIlroy. New episodes of Prophecy Radio air every other week. All discussions are PG-13.News and Updates (00:05:44) Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2 has debuted with strong numbers according to The Wrap. We can't help but mention Pluribus, as it seems everyone is watching it at the moment. Did you know there's an official Percy Jackson and the Olympians shop now? You can also get some great merch at Hot Topic! Did you catch the beautiful birthday message to Walker from his dad? There's no Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 4 renewal news, but they ARE working on it at the moment. We channel a little Positive Patty and/or Optimistic Olivia energy and talk about the chances of getting seasons 4 and 5. Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2, episode 6 discussion (00:14:52) Let's kick off the episode 6 discussion with Tyson in the water. Daniel Diemer does such a good job of getting Tyson's thoughts and feelings across while underwater. RAINBOW TO THE RESCUE. Percy has a pretty awful dream about Camp. It looks like Kronos is dropping by, but when the hood is pulled back it's someone else. Why do you think they showed Thalia in this scene? How does Percy know what she looks like? Percy wants to get a head start on their plan, but Annabeth remains calm and tells him that's not a good idea. Back on the island, Polyphemus regales Clarisse and Grover with tales of his solitary life. Shoutout to Nobody. They made Polyphemus SO MUCH SCARIER than he was in the books. We keep hearing Pan's name. Percy keeps watch while Annabeth grabs some pelts. Luke interrupts with some rainbow wiggles. Annabeth admits Luke might be right about Thalia's feelings about Zeus, but he was also wrong to think she'd be on Kronos' side. This part wasn't in the book, but it's such a great addition. Percy has a dramatic entrance. Was he worried that Annabeth might be betraying him? Was the call about recon or about checking in on Annabeth? “Think wooly thoughts.” Those sheep sounds were pretty legit. Plot twist! Polyphemus set a trap for the demigods. We get a classic Clarisse and Percy moment. Annabeth uses that big brain of hers to distract Polyphemus. Luke uses a portal to travel to the island, and Karen has some questions about the science of the magic. Shoutout to the makeup department because Annabeth's wounds looked BRUTAL. All seems lost…until Tyson returns! Did Percy understand what they said in Ancient Greek? How did Tyson get one up on Polyphemus? Luke arrives at the worst or possibly even the best time. Percy really did try to come up with a different solution than just handing over the fleece. Were we surprised Luke healed Annabeth? How do we feel about the changes from the book here? Tyson saves the day AGAIN, and Percy is so glad he's alive. And like the wish-granting fairy that he is, Tyson has a solution to their problem of no transportation. Percy gets yet another epic line to end the episode. Next time: Young Annabeth, a recovering sarcophagus, Clarisse liking her odds, and BLACKJACK!! Percy Jackson and the Olympians Official Podcast highlights (01:25:15) Aryan and Aleks are in divorce arbitration, and Andrew makes his big debut on the podcast. But first we need to talk about what is was like to play Polyphemus. This is not the first time Aleks has been a cyclops in a Percy Jackson production. Did you realize they did mostly practical effects for Polyphemus? What character inspired the “simple” version of Polyphemus? Did you know what forced perspective was? Which did you like better, the proposal or the prom pictures? The second guest on the podcast was Albert Kim, one of the series' writers. They wanted to surprise even the most diehard fans of the books. We talk about Percy's fatal flaw, and his reaction to giving up the fleece. It's no surprise the sheep were afraid of Polyphemus. Aryan finally gets his ring! Andrew McIlroy returns to talk about his experience on the show so far. It was interesting hearing how they “found” Tyson and Teen!Luke. Kronos is totally a cult leader. We get some insight into how the kids prepare for each scene, including an example of the exercise with the ball that they do to get into character. Why doesn't Andrew go to any of the functions? Where did his commitment to the craft come from? Everyone has such respect for Glynn Turman.

Have you ever felt trapped in the whirlwind of your own business, wishing it could run itself so you could finally breathe, and maybe even enjoy a family dinner? That's not just a dream. That's a system at work.In this episode, I'm joined by the powerhouse Marisa Grover—a mom of two toddlers who manages over 50 properties and has mastered the art of the "enough is enough" pivot.We talk about:How Marisa went from "accidental" host to a systems-driven entrepreneur managing 50+ unitsThe raw reality of handling guest requests while literally in labor (the spark that changed everything)The "Progress over Perfection" method—why a Loom video or a notebook is better than a perfect manualBut this isn't just about automation. It's about reclaiming your humanity.Marisa pulls back the curtain on the grit required to scale, from navigating licensing hurdles to building a team aligned with your values rather than just their resume. You'll hear why letting go isn't a loss of control—it's the key to leading, creating, and enjoying the life you've worked so hard to build.If you've ever wondered if you're "doing it right" or felt buried by the daily grind, this conversation will give you the blueprint to step out. Get ready to rethink your role in your business, and evolve from an overwhelmed operator into a confident CEO.HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY POINTS:[00:51] A short introduction about our guest Marisa Grover, and how she got started in the short-term rental industry[03:36] Marisa's early trial-and-error journey and the wake-up call that systems are what make a short-term rental business sustainable[07:48] Marisa's approach to building systems by starting small, documenting in real time, and valuing her time as a business owner[12:31] Marisa's perspective on team-building rooted in self-belief, leadership mindset, and intentional delegation[15:22] Marisa shares her mindset evolution through support, delegation, and gradual practice[21:14] Marisa's strategic approach to building a team around culture, outcomes, and intentional hiring[25:34] How Marisa's local team member who started as a cleaner naturally advanced to lead cleaner and eventually Operations Manager[26:17] Marisa shares the first task she delegated, driven by a desire to reclaim personal time and be fully present with her family during meals[29:29] Marisa's approach to next-level business growth by aligning with personal values, focusing on what she enjoys, and improving existing services[35:13] The lightning round Golden Nuggets:“I think a common misconception about building systems is that it is gonna suck your soul for a full year of your life, like there's no alternative, right? And so I just started, yes. I just started.”“Having belief in yourself and believing that you have value is the start of a domino effect that's much bigger.”“You have to believe that you are the valuable and the most...
What if helping someone you love through addiction starts with healing yourself? That single shift reframes everything—your boundaries, your tone, your scripts, and the way your home holds stress. Dr. Casey Grover sits down with family coach and author Lisa Katona Smith to unpack Parallel Recovery, a values-driven approach that gives families actionable tools and a steady process for change without the burnout of fixing or the coldness of detachment.Lisa shares how a personal crisis led her to blend educator skills, CRAFT principles, motivational interviewing, and trauma-informed strategies into a practical toolkit. We explore values and their shadow sides—how devotion without limits becomes resentment, and humor under pressure turns into sarcasm—and why clarity about who you want to be drives better boundaries. You'll hear the “hamburger boundary” story, a low-stakes, high-impact example of retraining family dynamics; a phone-blocking repair script that turns punishment into invitation; and simple ways to separate the person from the behavior so conversations stay human.We also look at the reality of nervous systems under stress and why sustainable change means concepts over checklists: consistent limits you can keep, language that calms, and agreements on how to raise concerns after treatment so families don't slip back into super-sleuth mode. Lisa explains why families are the first and final connection in recovery and how parallel support—one guide for the family, one for the person—reduces conflict and opens the door to readiness. If you've felt stuck between carrot and stick, this conversation offers a third path: redesign the relationship so change has room to grow.To learn more about Lisa and her work: https://lisakatonasmith.com/To contact Dr. Grover: ammadeeasy@fastmail.com

Prophecy Radio episode 151 cruises through Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2, episode 5, "We Check into C.C.'s Spa and Resort." They also discuss all the behind-the-scenes goodies from the Percy Jackson and the Olympians Official Podcast, as well as catch you up on some Christmas-related fun. New episodes of Prophecy Radio air every other week. All discussions are PG-13.No news this weekPercy Jackson and the Olympians season 2, episode 5 discussion (00:12:30) Right away we know Percy and Annabeth are alive. That's a relief. And how convenient they find themselves in the only sanctuary in the Sea of Monsters! Hylla sighting! Is this our first Heroes of Olympus easter egg? C.C. wants to help them identify their fatal flaws so they can survive the sirens. How noble. Stavros, our little jet skiing anachronism, does not fair too well. We may not have seen Stavros' demise, but hearing it was pretty gnarly. Clarisse wakes up on the beach. Lucky lady can see the golden fleece, though, so... quest still on! But then she gets caught in Polyphemus' trap. Quest paused. I really hope they find ways to weave the consensus song into every season. It makes Kristen smile. She tells Grover that Percy and Annabeth are dead, but thanks to that empathy link, Grover is sure she's wrong. All he had was hope, but now he has Clarisse and some rope! Back to C.C.'s: Percy and Annabeth look ADORABLE. They don't agree. C.C. wants to help them find their fatal flaws with her very own Mirror of Swalflataf (if you know, you know)/li> Annabeth takes the opportunity to try and learn something about C.C. We have a super swoon moment when Percy goes full book boyfriend. Even if we are trying to temper our little shipper hearts because they are not supposed to be at the crush stage yet. Percy believes he is a danger to the quest, so he decides to stay at C.C's. Back to the island: Clarisse is trying to shimmy up a rope to escape the cave, but the sensitive, sassy Cuban Oak can only take so much. Polyphemus returns, but this time Grover forgets to lower his veil... not good. Back on C.C.'s island: Percy has a very enlightening chat with Zadie. Percy confronts C.C. to transformative results. Is that a pen cup full of souvenirs, or did C.C. just think Percy's pen would be happy there? Percy doesn't let a little thing like being a guinea pig keep him from trying to formulate a plan. Describing Ares as merciful is a dead giveaway. Whatever you say, fakeGrover. This Polyphemus is waaaaaay scarier than the book. We appreciate the consistency with representing all cyclopses the same. Annabeth has a plan. But she also knows how to freestyle like the best of them. Multivitamins to the rescue! Percy and Annabeth set sail, but only one gets the wax. The other gets roped. Aaaand just kidding. C.C. takes back her wax. Annabeth's vision is detailed, but she has a plan. ATHENA SIGHTING! It's a double cross! It was the sirens the whole time! Percy saves the day. Next time: Tyson sighting, Kronos in season 1 form, and its time to battle Polyphemus. Percy Jackson and the Olympians Official Podcast highlights (01:34:34) A bit of a surprise: This week's guest is Glynn Turman, aka, Chiron! The Andrew counter lives. Glynn is Chiron: Both run camps, both help campers learn new skills, both have lost campers. Chiron's horse half is the same horse that plays Blackjack and has shown up in the background, too. There is a Grover horn arc already plotted for five seasons. This detail has us absolutely fangirling. They're going to curl by season 5! Next guests: Zoe Neary (Producer) and Jules O'Loughlin (Director of Photography) The sirens were played by stuntwomen using windsurfing rigs. **chef's kiss** Realism at work: They gave costume department samples of the rock to match, they used real seaweed from the marina, and there was a crab wrangler on set! One guinea pig is given the high ground. And different foods give them different eyelines. So much to learn about guinea pig acting. Rosemarie Dewitt killed it as C.C. Dior and Charlie shadowed producers to learn more about that part of the filmmaking process. Getting away from the Volume stage this year. Practical sets help them to lean into the weather and natural enviroments around them. The sound department is not a fan of fidget spinners. Oops. Listener Feedback (01:54:38)We have an email!

Greg Alba & Tara Erickson react to Percy Jackson & The Olympians Season 2 Episode 6, and this episode brings the quest crashing straight into betrayal and confrontation. Percy and Annabeth race to rescue Clarisse and Grover from the Cyclops, turning the Sea of Monsters into an all-out battle for survival.

The showdown intensifies with Titus entering the conflict, pushing alliances, loyalties, and destinies to their breaking point. This episode delivers heavy action, long-simmering character tension, and major book moments fans have been waiting for — reinforcing why Season 2 is darker, bolder, and more mythologically intense than ever.

The gang is all here on Polyphemus's island (and it's not a tropical, relaxing island vacation). This week, we're discussing Disney+'s Percy Jackson and the Olympians Episode 6 of Season 2, "Nobody Gets The Fleece." Percy's fatal flaw is out and about this episode, and we aren't complaining. We say the word "interesting" like 37 times and work on our pronunciation of Thalia. Percy and Annabeth's plan to save Grover and Clarisse doesn't go super well. Tyson reappears and steals all our hearts.

Cravings don't wait for perfect conditions, so we need plans that work in real life. I sit down with coach Jason Lyle to unpack a grounded, nontraditional approach to addiction treatment that starts with the body and rewires the brain: cold water immersion, breath work, meditation, and yoga. This is recovery as nervous system training—practical tools that widen the gap between urge and action and put your prefrontal cortex back in the driver's seat.Jason shares his path from ministry through sex addiction and despair to a repeatable method that helps men regulate first, then choose. We break down the science in plain language: why ice baths create a safe, high‑intensity rehearsal for impulse control; how Wim Hof‑style breathing builds micro‑seconds of space during cravings; and how a five‑minute, no‑frills meditation practice teaches you to see thoughts and let them go. We also show where yoga fits in—not acrobatics, but simple positions that let the body signal the brain and release tension before it becomes a decision you regret.Across the hour, we map a daily stack that takes 20–30 minutes and delivers fast results, plus what to expect at the two‑month plateau when the “new normal” feels unfamiliar. You'll learn the three pillars Jason uses—honesty, curiosity, and self‑love—along with on‑demand regulation moves: a ten‑second breath reset, when to grab a cold shower, and why hard exercise can dump stress hormones when grounding isn't enough. We also talk identity shifts, rewriting shame narratives with simple journaling and affirmations, and how small choices compound into a life you actually want to defend.If you're a clinician, coach, or anyone navigating addiction, this conversation offers concrete steps and clear language to share with patients and peers. Explore Jason's resources at thesacredgrit.com and his Sacred Grit Podcast for guided practices. If this resonated, follow the show, leave a review, and share it with someone who could use a stronger toolkit for recovery. Your next calm breath might be the start of a different day.To contact Dr. Grover: ammadeeasy@fastmail.com
Prophecy Radio episode #150 delves into Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2, episode 4, “Clarisse Blows Up Everything.” They also discuss the latest casting news for Atlas, Dr. Thorn, and Frederick Chase, as well as all the behind-the-scenes goodies from the Percy Jackson and the Olympians Official Podcast. New episodes of Prophecy Radio air every other week. All discussions are PG-13. News (00:15:32) Deadline has shared casting news for three new Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 3 actors. First up is Holt McCallany, who you may know from Mindhunter, as Atlas. David Constabile, who we're a little less familiar with, will be playing Dr. Thorn, and he certainly looks the part. Lastly, the legendary Jesse L. Martin will be playing Annabeth's Dad, Frederick Chase. We also have runtimes for Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2, episodes 5, 6, and 7. We're so excited for next week! Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2, episode 4 discussion (00:24:31) Points to us for knowing Annabeth was in a sewer, even though we had no idea why. We really see the relationship between Luke and Young Annabeth in the first flashback scene. Did you expect Young Annabeth to call Luke out for telling her Keloggia was the goddess of stealth? Did you like the Monster Donut and hydra details?? Young Annabeth is SO CUTE. Percy knows just what to say to Tyson. He also knows how to break the tension. Boys are gross. Clarisse makes a VERY dramatic entrance. How did she know Annabeth wasn't inside?? Annabeth and Clarisse go toe-to-toe in a battle of wits. Then Percy and Clarisse go toe-to-toe in a battle of strength. Did Percy think he could beat Clarisse, or was he just giving Annabeth time to make her move? Why is Clarisse so hellbent on not having any other demigods with her? Time to make some big choices! Will it be Scylla or…that other one? Clarisse really doesn't like the idea of sacrificing her men. There's that bleeding heart again. Grover is an excellent Protector. Demigods are just bad at listening. Neither Luke nor Thalia wants to go to Camp. Luke looks SO emo in this scene, and we're eating it up. What were your original theories as to why Annabeth's bracelet kept returning to the boat? We get a glimpse of Rainbow!! Percy realizes he's got some new abilities. Will Tyson grow into more of his Poseidon skills? Small choices make the biggest difference sometimes. Percy has some great advice in this scene, but is it a little too clean and perfect? Clarisse's men are willing to follow her anywhere, and you can tell that sits heavy on her shoulders. Was Percy channeling Sally Jackson in this scene with the sandwich? We get the full prophecy, and even though it's straight from the book, we're glad to hear it from start to finish. It's time to follow through on those big choices! “Heroes slay monsters, they don't run from them.” Sometimes it's hard to remember, especially in the beginning, that Clarisse is a hero, too. We loved watching Annabeth and Percy figure out how to correct course after Clarisse changes their heading. Percy on the front of the ship, steady as a rock, was SO BADASS. Clarisse saves Annabeth. How very friendly of her! Ironside blows up in the most dramatic way possible. Can you believe the episode ended here?? Next time: Sea Doos, sirens, guinea pigs, oh my! Percy Jackson and the Olympians Official Podcast highlights (01:20:26) We get another opening bit for the podcast. Aryan tells us about that time he fought a brick. Charlie and Tamara join the podcast to talk about the flashback. This was Charlie and Aryan's first real scene together. It's a good thing Aryan didn't do that stunt. Young Annabeth is actually Leah's cousin! Wait till you hear how Charlie “found” Young Luke. We finally get an Andrew shoutout counter. Did you know Luke wasn't in the original Percy Jackson story? How does the whole Thalia-as-a-tree thing work? Tamara knew Lance Reddick, so joining this show as his daughter was kismet. Erik Henry and Eli Zagoudakis join to talk about how visual effects and stunt work go hand-in-hand. They decided to go in a different direction when revealing Aegis. They tilted Ironside overnight!

SIRENS!! Percy Jackson Season 2 Episode 5 Full Reaction Watch Along: / thereelrejects Greg Alba & Tara Erickson react to Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 2 Episode 5, and this one pulls straight from The Sea of Monsters with mythology, danger, and character separation hitting hard. In this episode, Percy and Annabeth come face-to-face with Circe, whose island becomes a psychological and emotional test that challenges their identities and deepest fears. The threat escalates even further when the Sirens lure them toward devastating visions of what they want most — pushing Percy and Annabeth to confront temptation, destiny, and trust. Meanwhile, Clarisse and Grover aren't as lucky. Captured by a Cyclops, the episode splits the group apart, raising the stakes and reinforcing how dangerous the Sea of Monsters truly is. With the quest fractured and monsters closing in, Season 2 continues to test loyalty, leadership, and sacrifice.

Steve welcomes Grover Norquist, President of Americans for Tax Reform, for a wide-ranging conversation about why 2025 was a strong year for taxpayers and why 2026 looks even better from an America First tax perspective. Grover will highlight the policy wins that helped reduce the tax burden on working families and defend economic freedom. Then they will dig into the shocking fraud uncovered in Minnesota, where federal investigations have revealed widespread misuse of taxpayer funds in social services programs, including allegations that fake businesses siphoned off millions in government dollars meant for children and other services, prompting federal probes and political outrage over accountability and transparency.
Vintage drug ads promised calm mornings, slimmer silhouettes, and instant relief from restless nights. We dig beneath the glossy slogans to unpack how Black Beauties, Quaaludes, Miltown, Barbiturates, and Purple Hearts shaped the path to today's mediations—and what that history teaches us about safety, dependence, and withdrawal. With clear explanations of GABA, tolerance, and cross‑tapering, we connect old “uppers and downers” to modern clinical practice and the real risks people still face.I share why amphetamines jumped from diet pills to productivity boosters, how tranquilizers won hearts and airwaves, and why barbiturates' direct receptor action made them both effective and uniquely lethal. We explore the strange logic of combining a stimulant with a sedative in a single pill, the concept of the therapeutic index that flipped prescribing habits, and the cultural pressure—often aimed at women—that fueled demand for daily sedation. You'll hear how benzos improved the safety margin, where they still go wrong, and how clinicians now use careful tapers, screen for polysubstance use, and apply harm‑reduction strategies to prevent overdose.If you've ever wondered why some drugs vanished and others became standard, this deep dive brings context, clarity, and practical takeaways. You'll walk away able to explain the difference between narrow and wide therapeutic indexes, why withdrawal from certain depressants is so dangerous, and how our field balances relief with risk. Subscribe, share with a colleague who treats anxiety or addiction, and leave a review with the one historical ad or insight that surprised you most.To contact Dr. Grover: ammadeasy@fastmail.com

Stress doesn't wait for a convenient moment, so why should resilience training wait for a crisis? We sit down with Coach Kay, a PhD serving first responders, ER teams, and other high‑stress professionals, to unpack a practical roadmap for emotional resilience you can actually use. We connect the dots between addiction, overwhelm, and the brain's survival circuitry, then break down simple steps to recruit the prefrontal cortex, label emotions accurately, and respond with intention instead of impulse.You'll hear a clear definition of emotional resilience as a learnable skill and a tour of the six domains that make it concrete: vision, composure, reasoning, health, tenacity, and collaboration. We talk through what a first session looks like, why early “small wins” build momentum, and how honest conversation itself shifts brain chemistry. For clinicians and caregivers, we address the bitter edge of burnout and PTSD and show how third‑person perspective and narrative reframing loosen long‑held patterns without minimizing the pain that created them. If you're supporting people in recovery, you'll get language to explain limbic activation, why substances become shortcuts, and how proactive habits restore choice.This conversation is warm, candid, and grounded: practical journaling prompts, mindfulness tactics, and movement as medicine—whether that's CrossFit or a neighborhood game of basketball. We make the case for teaching resilience to teens during key developmental windows while reminding everyone that it's never too late to start. The thread throughout is agency: notice what you feel, understand why, and build rituals that help you act on your values when it counts.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a colleague who's carrying too much, and leave a review with one resilience practice you're trying this week. Your story might be the nudge someone else needs.To learn more about Coach Kay's work: https://www.psyrescoaching.com/aboutTo contact Dr. Grover: ammadeeasy@fastmail.com

In this episode of the Wharton FinTech Podcast, host Vaibhav speaks with Riya Grover, co-founder and CEO of Sequence, an AI native revenue platform that unifies quoting, billing automation, and receivables so finance can finally run at the speed of sales. Riya shares her journey from investment banking and Harvard Business School to exiting her first startup and then launching Sequence to fix one of the most neglected parts of the CFO stack, quote to cash and accounts receivable. She goes deep on what it really takes to find product market fit in a saturated software world, why AI native entrants can out execute incumbents, and how Sequence is using agents to automate complex finance workflows. They also unpack Riya's recent Series A fundraise, the story that resonated with investors, and her candid advice for founders building in a noisy, AI heavy, but more competitive than ever venture environment. In this episode, we learn about: - Why quote to cash and revenue operations have lagged behind AP and spend in automation - How Sequence uses AI agents to read contracts, generate invoices, and support finance teams - What investors really cared about in Sequence's Series A, from logo quality to 190 % NRR - How Riya stays close to customers while scaling a fast growing infra company - Her advice for aspiring founders on standing out in today's crowded AI landscape
Before the citations. Before the regulations. Before the arguments—there's people. In the first-ever Safe Word segment of Mining Minds, Grover sits down with longtime mentor, former MSHA inspector, and no-nonsense safety professional Jim Hoover to have the conversations most safety meetings never do. This episode strips away the myths, the fear, and the finger-pointing around mining safety and replaces them with something better: honesty, experience, and critical thinking. They break down what MSHA actually does (and doesn't do), why citations aren't cash grabs, and how perception, personality, and human judgment shape every inspection. From the difference between being compliant and being truly safe, to why asking why matters more than memorizing the 30 CFR, this episode is about understanding safety—not weaponizing it. You'll hear real stories from the pit and the inspector's side, hard lessons learned early in a career, and why building relationships—rather than hiding when inspectors show up—can make operations safer for everyone. Brass in—join the conversation and be a part of The Safe Word. Chapters: 01:50 Why This Safety Conversation Started 02:41 Opinion, Experience, and Inviting Disagreement 07:52 Mining Safety Myths: Do Inspectors Get Paid for Citations? 10:55 The Human Element of Inspections 13:26 Understanding the 30 CFR and Asking "Why" 17:48 Real-World Example 22:34 Regional Differences and Interpretation of Standards 29:05 Inspectors as a Resource, Not the Enemy 35:32 Recognizing Good Work and Building Safety Culture
Welcome back to the EUVC Podcast.Today Andreas is joined by Stefan Roebel, Co‑Founder & CEO of ARX Robotics — one of Europe's fastest-rising defense tech startups.From his 12 years in the German Armed Forces to leadership roles at Amazon, eBay, and Grover, Stefan has lived both sides: the military front line and the global business battlefield. Now, he's combining that experience to tackle one of the most pressing challenges of our time: Europe's ability to defend itself in a new era of war.In this episode, Stefan shares ARX's journey from DIY decoy robots to NATO-backed modular robotic systems already deployed in Ukraine. We dive deep into why Europe must break with its slow procurement culture, how startups can become the “new primes,” and what it really takes to build dual-use autonomy in a defense-first world.Here's what's covered:00:56 | From Afghanistan to Amazon to ARX Robotics: Stefan's unlikely founder journey02:30 | The broomstick that became a digital decoy — ARX's origin story06:34 | The first breakthrough: selling duct-taped prototypes that worked08:30 | ARX's modular robotics suite explained (500kg payload, autonomy, retrofits)10:47 | Educating VCs: how defense tech went from “too weird” to oversubscribed13:55 | Picking investors: big names vs true believers with military insight16:53 | Real deployments in Ukraine: ammo supply & medevac in the kill zone19:49 | Why Ukraine's lessons are shaping Europe's defense future23:24 | The drone war changed everything: solving Europe's “lack of mass”27:31 | Will ARX become a “new prime”?

On Prophecy Radio episode #147, Karen and Kristen discuss Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2, episode 1 and everything that goes with it. They also delve into the latest news, including some new footage from the upcoming season, and recap all the best moments from the new Official Percy Jackson Podcast premiere. New episodes of Prophecy Radio air every other week. All discussions are PG-13. News and Updates (00:09:42) So, remember us dreaming of Percy Jackson video games? Fortnite is the first! You won't want to miss the cast reactions to the game, either. Have you seen this billboard, yet? These kids have style. Has anyone else been paying attention to their clothes during this press tour?! If you haven't heard of Percember, now you have. A little behind the scenes footage for the Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2, episode 1 premiere! Oh, and Percy Jackson and the Olympians is certified fresh at 100% for season 2! Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2, episode 1 breakdown (00:21:48) Grover asks for a sign and gets... thunder? Zeus? You got something to say? Grover meets Allison Simms on his hunt for Pan. We love cool details like the tentacle/bedsheet connection. Book to show changes: How do we feel about Tyson and Percy living with Sally instead of being at boarding school? Is the eyeball weird for you guys? Kristen thinks its just her brain. Annabeth will pick you up in a freaky taxi if she has a bad dream. Tyson's one eye and the Gray Sisters one eye are not the same thing. Percy and Annabeth have both kept some things out of their letters. Thank goodness Tyson is fireproof! No Colchis bull makes Karen a little disappointed. Luke is up to no good, and this time it involves stabbing a friend. What the heck, Luke?! Meet Tantalus, whom we did not worry about picturing when we read the book. We get some classic Disney innuendo and Karen can't believe they got away with it. Percy chooses Tyson, and we don't think he's in the wrong. Tyson is going to make us cry this season. We just know it. Annabeth settles in to talk to her girl bestie... who just so happens to be a tree. Don't judge. Empathy link dream, baby! Percy and Grover are so freaking cute in this scene. Coordinates. Percy goes to Annabeth this time, because he's got an idea on how to save Thalia's tree and camp. New season, new post credits artwork, and there are hints at all the big tentpole monsters and moments that we can think of. We are both very interested in some art prints of the credit artwork. Percy Jackson and the Olympians Official Podcast highlights (01:35:29) Should the official podcast be called Grover Underwood and the Olympians instead? Walker and Leah are Aryan's first guests. We get a look at the original trio's chemistry read and they are SO YOUNG! Walker is being very careful about the Percabeth timeline. He knows they have a long way to go in their friendship before either of them will be ready to play their bond like anything more. Welcome Daniel Diemer, aka Tyson! Lots of stories about their acting coach, Andrew, especially when he told Daniel his run looked a little too goofy. Oops. Too bad he wasn't going for anything but just, running. Tyson's Taxi Time Talk Show is the podcast's inspiration Jason Mantzoukas crashes the pod and he is CHAOS (copied and pasted directly from Karen's notes). We love that they are using the Big House to record the podcast.

On Clash of the Correspondents James is joined by Manchester United fan Alex Trembath and Bournemouth fan Neil Grover to discuss the latest at their clubs ahead of the Gameweek 16 Monday Night Football at Old Trafford. There's discussion on form, with United comfortable winners at Wolves on Monday but they haven't won their last two at Old Trafford and opponents Bournemouth have won 3-0 on their last two visits. But they themselves have only won two out of eleven. FPL Talismen Bruno Fernandes and Antoine Semenyo are discussed, the impact of AFCON - particularly on United, differentials such as Marcus Tavernier and Matheus Cunha, whether Patrick Dorgu and Diogo Dalot are worth consideration and whether owers of Marcos Senesi should continue to keep faith despite The Cherries conceding the second highest total of away goals this season.

What if the fastest way to help a loved one stop using isn't pushing harder but stepping out of the “villain” role? We sit down with master addiction counselor and YouTuber Amber Hollingsworth to unpack a practical, compassionate framework that actually moves people from resistance to readiness. Amber explains why policing, nagging, and ultimatums create the perfect distraction from change—and how strategic empathy, active listening, and credibility open the door to real motivation.We break the recovery process into simple, workable steps: stop being the bad guy, build trust by reflecting the person's perspective, and allow the bargaining phase—“only on weekends,” “just beer,” “no more pills”—to serve as useful data rather than defeat. You'll hear how to accelerate learning without triggering defensiveness, why a 30-day trial of sobriety is a powerful reality check, and how to prepare resources so you can act quickly when the “I'm ready” moment arrives. We also dive into separate-counselor models that lower conflict, how to align change with a person's values and strengths, and the role of humor and respect in keeping people engaged.We don't ignore medical realities. From treating insomnia, anxiety, and depression in early recovery to using long-acting buprenorphine injections for opioid use disorder, we explore low-barrier tools that improve safety and adherence—especially vital in the fentanyl era. The goal isn't to force a path; it's to create conditions where the next right step feels easier than the last wrong one.If you're a parent, partner, or clinician looking for strategies that work in the real world, this conversation offers concrete scripts, mindset shifts, and timing cues you can use today. Subscribe, share with someone who needs it, and leave a review with your biggest insight—what's one change you'll make in your next hard conversation?To contact Dr. Grover: ammadeeasy@fastmail.com
On Prophecy Radio episode #146, Karen and Kristen revisit Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 1 in all its glory, discussing their very favorite moments and any lingering questions ahead of season 2. They also delve into the latest news, including some new footage from the upcoming season. New episodes of Prophecy Radio air every other week. All discussions are PG-13. News and Updates (00:6:07) Do you have a Menchie's Frozen Yogurt near you? If so, make sure you stop there on December 10! The new Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2 posters depict the giants, Polyphemus, and even the sirens. Did you hear about the Percy Jackson and the Olympians official podcast? Rick is the Indigo Author of the Month, which means it's the perfect time to pick up the Sea of Monsters Deluxe Collector's Edition. (Rick shows off what it looks like on his Instagram.) Illumicrate is reprinting their exclusive Percy Jackson and the Olympians set! This is your sign to pick it up if you missed out last time. Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 1 revisit (00:18:44) It's time to jump into our revisit of Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 1, starting with–you guessed it–episode 1! Walker is so young in these episodes! And Young Percy is masterful in those early scenes (and the later ones, too!). We're still impressed with the CGI in this show. The cabin scene is so emotional–both Walker and Virginia bring their A-Game. Honestly, this pilot is one of the best we've ever seen. Our first question after jumping into episode 2 is whether we'll see the Council of Cloven Elders again. Will we get another montage in season 2 of all the things Percy got better at?? Was Annabeth watching Percy the whole time, or was she following Clarisse instead? How big are the other symbols going to be when kids start getting claimed? Clarisse is a textbook bully, and we're so excited to see her growth in Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2. Grover is smarter than both Chiron and Mr. D, and we'll be taking no objections to that. Episode 3 is fantastic for so many reasons, but especially the growth of the trio's relationship. Percy earned a lot of Annabeth's respect when he talked about why he chose her for the quest. Grover stood up to his friends, and that's super difficult. Percy IS impertinent. Medusa was a standout in this episode–especially her speech about how the gods are the real monsters. Episode 4 begins with Young Percy in the pool and ends with current-day Percy in the river. It's good that Percy got to see that not all mythological creatures are monsters. Will we see more of the Mist in season 2? Echidna was super terrifying, actually. Episode 5 is a standout, for sure. We get Percy and Annabeth's first hug, so mark that down. But the real emotional epicenter of this episode is during the chair scene and Annabeth's speech to Hephaestus. Ares is the worst, but we still kind of love him. “Thank you for the cheeseburgers and the emotional abuse.” Yeah, they're not going to shy away from his abusive relationship with Clarisse. Oh, Leah Jeffries is a PROFESSIONAL. Will they have a callback to this episode once Aphrodite is introduced? Episode 6 brings us to the Lotus Hotel and Casino. We also meet Hermes in this episode, and it's interesting to see Annabeth's interactions with him. We talk about Clarisse a little, too, and how she differs from Annabeth but has her own strengths.. Percy misses out on his dad, unfortunately. In episode 7, we get the long-awaited mattress shop scene, even if it was pretty brief. Cerberus is super cute, and Annabeth is so smart! We don't always love flashbacks, but they work super well in this show. How do we feel about Hades' casting? The best moment from this episode might just be the diner scene when Poseidon shows up. Finally, we talk about the Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 1 finale. Percy vs. Ares was awesome, especially that ichor effect. It's amazing to see Percy own his abilities and the relationship with his dad. What did we think of the look of Olympus? Lance Reddick will always be our Zeus. Poseidon totally still has the hots for Sally. We can't help but notice the lighting for the scene between Luke and Percy at the end. Grover's Searcher's license is a flower!! We're so excited for Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2. It won't be long now! Thanks for listening, and tune in next time for episode 147, where we'll recap Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2, episode 1, as well as all the latest news.

The bell rings, the doors open, and the real work begins: keeping kids safe while the drug market slips into their phones and pockets. We sit down with Principal Leland Hansen to unpack the day-to-day reality of school-based prevention, from vape pens hidden in hoodies to Snapchat dealers who change handles as fast as administrators can warn parents. Leland lays out a candid, practical playbook that pairs firm boundaries with a health-first response, including a six-week on-campus program for first offenses that removes friction for families and actually gets used.We get specific about what's showing up now—tobacco and THC vapes far more than alcohol—why post-legalization supply is spilling into schools, and how educators investigate under strict limits that require reasonable suspicion. Leland shares the red flags he watches for, like sudden changes in demeanor and unlikely new friend pairings, and explains why middle school is the leverage point where beliefs are forming and choices stick. We compare big assemblies that grab attention with smaller class sessions that build trust and invite tough questions, and we talk about how students quietly use anonymous tip lines to help friends despite a “no snitching” culture.Parents are crucial, but time-starved. We discuss ways to reach them—tabling at concerts and back-to-school nights, short videos and podcasts they can catch between chores, and direct guidance on home limits that reinforce school expectations. Partnerships matter: local nonprofits providing on-campus support, health educators updating staff on evolving devices, and police following up when adult sellers target kids. The throughline is simple and strong: clear rules, credible facts, and rapid support change outcomes.If you care about safer schools, smarter prevention, and giving adolescents real choices, you'll find tactics you can use tomorrow—whether you're an educator, parent, or community partner.

In this episode of Mining Minds, Dino and Grover sit down with longtime miner, electrician, and leader Jason Bohl for an unfiltered conversation about life inside the industry — from early apprenticeships to leadership pressures, from underground lessons to personal turning points. Jason walks us through a career built on work ethic, motivation, and authenticity, sharing how he learned to "figure it out," how mentors shaped him, and how staying self-driven opened unexpected doors. We also dive into the real side of mining: burnout, mental health, navigating fatherhood while working long hours, rebuilding after setbacks, and redefining success. Jason opens up about resilience, responsibility, supporting the next generation, and finding balance after years of nonstop grind. Please help us welcome Jason Bohl to the Face!

As Percy, Annabeth, and Grover race to stop a divine war, these episodes crank the stakes way up — bringing in major Olympian players and some of the season's most memorable set pieces. In Episode 5 (“A God Buys Us Cheeseburgers”), Percy (Walker Scobell – The Adam Project, Secret Headquarters) reunites with Annabeth (Leah Sava Jeffries – Beast, Empire) and Grover (Aryan Simhadri – Cheaper by the Dozen, Spin) on the road to Los Angeles — only to be pulled into Ares' brutal side-quest at Waterland. We get the Tunnel of Love trap, the nerve-shredding Hephaestus throne sequence, and Percy's growing realization that the gods' games are deadlier than any monster. These episodes feature huge guest-star gods, including Adam Copeland (Vikings, WWE Hall of Fame) as the intimidating Ares, and Timothy Omundson (Psych, Galavant) as Hephaestus, whose heartbreaking mythology adds real emotional weight to the quest. Episode 6 (“We Take a Zebra to Vegas”) swings the trio into Las Vegas' Lotus Hotel & Casino, where time warps, temptation hits hard, and the deadline to prevent war slips away. The episode introduces Lin-Manuel Miranda (Hamilton, Encanto) as Hermes, bringing charm and mystery as Percy tries to get answers about the bolt and Luke's involvement — all while the Lotus tries to swallow them whole. Tara & Greg REACT to the best moments including the Waterland Tunnel of Love / shield trap, Percy nearly sacrificing himself on Hephaestus' throne, Ares' threats and divine manipulation, the trio arriving in Vegas and getting lost in the Lotus' time-dilation spell, Hermes' reveal and the ticking clock toward the Underworld, & MORE!!

The most dangerous phrase in senior health might be “I've always handled it fine.” We dive into how aging reshapes the risks of alcohol, benzodiazepines, opioids, nicotine, and today's ultra‑potent cannabis—and why familiar habits can turn hazardous after 65. Drawing on frontline cases and recent research, we unpack the baby boomer lived experience, from “mother's little helper” to daily cocktail hours in senior communities, then connect it to the biology of aging: slower metabolism, reduced kidney and liver function, impaired balance, and sharper sensitivity to side effects.You'll hear why DSM‑5 criteria still apply but require age‑aware interpretation, what “code cannabis” looks like in the ER when edibles or high‑THC products masquerade as stroke, and how subtle red flags—poor sleep, irritability, shakiness, forgetfulness, falls—signal a brewing problem. We get practical about safer detox for older adults, the reality of kindling with alcohol withdrawal, and the medication decisions that matter: when to taper sedatives, how to avoid dangerous interactions, and why nutrition and B‑vitamins can't be an afterthought. Two real-world cases ground the lessons—titrating decades‑long benzodiazepine and Z‑drug use while reducing fall risk, and using naltrexone strategically for late‑onset alcohol use without tipping a patient into instability.If you care for an older adult—or you are one—this conversation offers clear steps to lower risk and raise quality of life: rethink sleep meds, reduce alcohol use, check cannabis potency, simplify regimens, and choose therapy and support groups that fit your season of life. Subscribe, share this with a friend or colleague, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway so we can keep building smart, stigma‑free care for older adults.To contact Dr. Grover: ammadeeasy@fastmail.com

On Prophecy Radio episode #145, Karen and Kristen discuss the brand new Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2 trailer. They also discuss a few fun news items, and catch up on some personal news, too. New episodes of Prophecy Radio air every other week. All discussions are PG-13. News and Updates (00:15:00) Roseanne A. Brown got married! Congratulations!! Today's really big news: WE GOT A TRAILER. More on that later. The London Cast recording of The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical is live on streaming! (You can also preorder the CD from their website if you prefer) Our favorite trio did an interview with MTV about their Percy Jackson characters and how they relate to music Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2 trailer breakdown (00:20:45) First: Check out the full trailer! Walker has grown so much and it really shows in the opening shots. Prophetic dreams? Are they talking about us?!?! What happened to the three people around Grover when he gets snatched by that tentacle? Laistrygonian sighting. When it's not Luke trying to kill you... We take a pretty good look at Percy's room. Definitely reflects the inner workings of a kid with ADHD. We love this dream talk. Percy's not the only one having dreams, even if we forget that sometimes. The Stymphalian birds are incredible! Can't wait to see that whole scene in action! Grey Sisters sighting: the comedy is on point. The brief bits of Tyson we get here are very promising. We see TreeThalia being stabbed by Luke. Leah is going to absolutely destroy our emotions with her reactions to Thalia's tree being disturbed. Quick shot of Grover (no, we don't see a wedding dress) and Polyphemus with his shepherd's hook. THE POSTCARDS (is it weird that I kinda hope there's a special feature all about these?!) The side by side of Annabeth and Clarice on the ship? New besties alert?! We are desperately hoping we get to see the transformation of Thalia's bracelet into the Aegis. (Here's a link to those stills we talked about on the Percyseries Insta.) This moving rock shot has us a little stumped, but is Annabeth having her siren visions here? That smooth black and gold rock HAS to be Kronos' sarcophagus (good call, Karen!) Who is the winker? Percy falling freaked us out for a second. The CGI on these battle sequences is INSANE. This season is going to be beyond epic. Our favorite moments from the trailer Our predictions/wants/questions for Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2 We are both really excited to see that siren scene play out. Here's the link to that video of the trio watching the trailer together! Enjoy! Thanks for listening, and tune in next time for episode 146, where we'll recap and review Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 1, as well as all the latest news.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 11-20-2025: Dr. Dawn discusses GLP-1 inhibitors like Zepbound and semaglutide showing unexpected benefits for addiction treatment beyond diabetes and weight loss. Patients in rehab report these drugs mute cravings for alcohol, cocaine, and cigarettes. Multiple studies show reduced substance abuse rates in users, with VA and NIH conducting trials examining brain activity and responses to triggers. With 80,000 annual drug overdose deaths and 48 million Americans having substance abuse disorders, these medications may revolutionize addiction treatment by dampening brain reward circuitry, though costs threaten healthcare budgets. A Stanford twin study found those twins assigned a vegan diet had substantially lower cholesterol, insulin, and body weight compared to their omnivore twins after several months, with LDL dropping 15mg, four pounds more weight loss, and 20% lower insulin. Dr. Dawn explains how a fungal disease decimating Central American frog populations caused 500% malaria increases in some areas. The fungus kills frogs by blocking skin electrolytes until hearts stop, eliminating tadpoles that eat mosquito larvae. Ecosystem collapses followed with algae blooms and snake population drops. She provides other examples showing how species losses affect human health, emphasizing the "one health" movement recognizing ecosystem health as fundamental to human wellbeing. An Australian study found people aged 70+ who listen to or play music regularly had 39% lower dementia rates, though causation remains uncertain. Princeton research shows music activates multiple brain regions simultaneously. Learning instruments increases gray matter, and musical memory remains intact in advanced dementia since it's stored separately from other memories. A caller discusses how modern screen-based activities provide less multisensory engagement than past social experiences like dances. Another caller describes Grover's disease causing persistent itchy skin with no known cause. Dr. Dawn recommends an elimination diet removing common allergens for one month, then reintroducing individually to identify food sensitivities triggering immune responses. Dr. Dawn explains xenotransplantation advances with genetically edited pigs beginning full-scale kidney transplant trials. Companies use CRISPR to disable genes causing immune rejection and insert human genes promoting immune tolerance. With only 10% of global kidney patients receiving organs, these could provide unlimited supply. Other innovations include kidneys with thymus tissue to teach immune tolerance and external pig liver systems as transplant bridges. She concludes noting research showing female dogs remember and prefer humans who demonstrate competence at tasks, while male dogs show no preference.

We kicked things off by showing our freshly repainted Samick Avion / Greg Bennett mini guitar — HUGE shout-out to Ron! This little beast started life as a black eBay car guitar, but now it's a champagne flip-flop copper ripper loaded with an Epiphone humbucker, Pure Tone jack, and Grover tuners. We played it, loved it, ROCKED it.
Food isn't just fuel and obesity isn't just willpower. We sat down with bariatric surgeon Dr. Mark Vierra to unpack what weight-loss surgery really changes, why genetics and hormones can overpower the best intentions, and how a careful program decides who needs a scalpel and who needs a different plan. From GLP‑1 surges and ghrelin drops to PYY's “brake,” we walk through how surgery reshapes appetite signals and why even modest weight loss can dramatically improve diabetes and cardiovascular risk.The conversation goes beyond the operating room. Dr. Vierra explains why five of six referrals don't get surgery, how he and his partner analyze food diaries, depression, and daily constraints, and when medications like bupropion or GLP‑1s make more sense. We explore binge patterns, the messy reality of predicting who will do well after weight loss surgery, and the tough calls around patients who've been told their BMI is destiny when their labs and function say otherwise. The story shifts sharply when we talk alcohol: after gastric bypass, blood alcohol rises faster and stays higher, which raises the risk of alcohol use disorder over time. We share practical ways to screen motives for drinking, plan safeguards with families, and use craving meds thoughtfully.What ties it all together is respect for biology and the person in front of us. Genetics like MC4R variants and syndromes such as Prader–Willi can drive lifelong hyperphagia; ultra‑processed foods and liquid calories amplify the problem; stigma keeps people from care. We push for a different bias—against soda and engineered foods, not against people—and for care that follows patients long after the incisions heal. If you want a grounded, humane guide to obesity treatment, this conversation delivers clarity without blame.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review so others can find it. Your support helps us keep building informed, stigma‑free conversations about health.To contact Dr. Grover: ammadeeasy@fastmail.com
Your brain is ancient, but your world is not. We unpack how a hunter-gatherer reward system runs into modern dopamine superstimuli—engineered foods, infinite feeds, one-click buys, and potent drugs—and why that mismatch can spiral into addiction. Using clear language and vivid examples, we explain cravings, compulsion, and consequences through the lens of dopamine: how normal rewards help us survive, how substances hijack that circuitry, and how constant notifications keep the throttle stuck open.We go deeper into the factors that raise or lower risk. Genetics account for roughly half of vulnerability and often determine a “drug of choice,” where one person feels sick from alcohol while another feels energized and social. Then we connect the dots between mental health and substance use. Depression, anxiety, ADHD, and PTSD frequently overlap with addiction, and treating one without the other rarely works. The ACEs research shows how chronic childhood stress reshapes the brain and the body, setting the stage for later disease. PTSD flips fight-or-flight on at the wrong time, and many people reach for alcohol or cannabis to blunt nightmares and panic, only to worsen the cycle.Timing is pivotal. Teen brains run on lower baseline dopamine yet respond fiercely to novelty, making early use more rewarding and more dangerous. We share practical insights about delaying use, protecting brain development, and building real skills for stress, sleep, and conflict. A candid case study ties it together: a young adult mixing alcohol and cocaine, a missed PTSD diagnosis, and a turning point when care shifts to trauma therapy and targeted medications. The takeaway is hopeful and clear—when we treat the pain beneath the substance and rebuild healthy rewards, recovery becomes possible and durable.If this conversation helped you see addiction more clearly, subscribe, share the episode with someone who needs it, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway.

The sensational news reports about the 3I Atlas space anomaly, especially on social media, are becoming eerily similar to Orson Welles' October 30, 1938, broadcast of The War of the Worlds, which stunned listeners with its simulated live-news format, convincing many that Grover's Mill, New Jersey, was under siege. It is all coming together right now, as NASA is closed due to the government shutdown, while this mysterious celestial object becomes the extraterrestrial bogeyman that is creating a real War of the Worlds scenario. With all of the chaos and turmoil going on, what would it take to unite people? Well, perhaps we know the answer, and 3I/Atlas just happens to be a convenient example of how a government can take advantage of an alien threat. Listen to Ground Zero with Clyde Lewis M-F from 7-10 pm, pacific time on groundzeroplus.com.
