The economic landscape is changing in the aftermath of Trump's tariff debacle, and a pivot to hard money is happening globally. The Chinese and Russians have been accumulating gold for years, but now central banks are buying it, signaling a move away from King Dollar.Tony Arterburn is paying attention to the signals he is receiving at the wholesale level of the precious metals industry, as the owner of Wise Wolf Bitcoin & Wolfpack Gold. Money is looking for a safe harbor to ride out the coming economic storm, but the options are dwindling, and people are running out of time. There are solutions to this problem, some old and one new, but most people are not prepared to leave the system until it is too late.—Guest: Tony Arterburnhttps://www.arterburn.gold/ —Watch the video version on one of the Macroaggressions Channels:Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/Macroaggressions YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MacroaggressionsPodcast—MACRO & Charlie Robinson LinksHypocrazy Audiobook: https://amzn.to/4aogwmsThe Octopus of Global Control Audiobook: https://amzn.to/3xu0rMmWebsite: www.Macroaggressions.io Merch Store: https://macroaggressions.dashery.com/ Link Tree: https://linktr.ee/macroaggressionspodcast—Activist Post FamilyActivist Post: www.ActivistPost.com Natural Blaze: www.NaturalBlaze.com —Support Our SponsorsC60 Power: https://go.shopc60.com/PBGRT/KMKS9/ | Promo Code: MACROChemical Free Body: https://chemicalfreebody.com/macro/ | Promo Code: MACROWise Wolf Gold & Silver: https://macroaggressions.gold/ | (800) 426-1836LegalShield: www.DontGetPushedAround.com EMP Shield: www.EMPShield.com | Promo Code: MACROChristian Yordanov's Health Program: www.LiveLongerFormula.com/macro Above Phone: https://abovephone.com/macro/Van Man: https://vanman.shop/?ref=MACRO | Promo Code: MACROThe Dollar Vigilante: https://dollarvigilante.spiffy.co/a/O3wCWenlXN/4471 Nesa's Hemp: www.NesasHemp.com | Promo Code: MACROAugason Farms: https://augasonfarms.com/MACRO —
What if every hard-earned lesson in your business came with a simple mandate: how dare you do nothing with what's been given to you? In this episode, Bill Sherman talks with serial entrepreneur and systems strategist Apple Levy, author of "The Apple Effect". Apple has spent decades in construction, manufacturing, home flipping, and retail. She combines operational grit with financial discipline to help entrepreneurs stop firefighting and start scaling with intention. Her core belief is simple and provocative: if you know something that works, you have a duty to share it. Apple walks through how she turned years of wins and failures into a repeatable framework for growth. She explains why she began capturing notes, call recordings, and data from every client, and how that archive became The Apple Effect—a practical playbook for owners running businesses from $1M to $40M in revenue. The book distills what actually moves margin, cash flow, and culture, and she uses it as the backbone for her firm, Obsidian Thorne, when helping companies scale. You'll hear the real problems that keep owners up at night. Not just cash flow and margin, but rework that kills profit, weak follow-up on sales, and the emotional landmine of hiring family you can't hold accountable. Apple shows how to move from "leading by personality" to "leading by systems," so the process becomes the bad cop—not you. That shift frees leaders to exit someday, build a legacy, or simply step out of daily chaos. Apple and Bill also explore the mindset required to grow. Apple challenges entrepreneurs to ask, "How badly do I want this?" and to accept that scaling may mean dismantling what no longer serves the business—including long-standing people, habits, and assumptions. She shares how she applies her own advice inside Obsidian Thorne, using automation, hiring a business development lead early, and treating every pain point in her firm as data she can use to better serve clients. Finally, Apple looks ahead. She talks about taking her message to bigger stages—through construction trade shows like Build Expo, her growing calendar of workshops, and future events she plans to host herself. She's already filling the next scratch pad with insights for future books and building a team of people who share her attitude: hungry, accountable, and obsessed with helping entrepreneurs go from $1M to $10M and beyond. If you're an owner who's tired of firefighting, wrestling with family in the business, or worried about what you're leaving to the next generation, this conversation—and The Apple Effect—offers both a wake-up call and a roadmap. Three Key Takeaways: • Systemize your expertise. Turning real-world lessons into a documented framework is the foundation for scaling any business. • Measure what matters. KPIs and process discipline reduce rework, protect margin, and move the company out of constant firefighting. • Use your book as a strategic tool. A well-structured book can double as a thought leadership platform and an operating guide for clients and teams. If this episode has you thinking about systems, scale, and getting out of firefighting, the next step is to focus on your leaders. Pair this conversation with the episode "Scaling Leadership: Making Coaching Accessible at Every Level" with Kristin Lytle and you'll see the other side of the equation: how to build repeatable, scalable ways to grow people, not just processes. Both episodes explore how to move from one-off heroics to structured, repeatable solutions—whether that's tightening operations and KPIs, or creating blended coaching and learning programs that reach leaders at every level. Listen to them together and you'll walk away with a more complete roadmap: how to systemize the business and build a culture of high integrity, accountability, and leadership growth across the organization.
If you work with parents of children with special needs, this episode is non-negotiable. Instead of diving into research, we're heading straight into a film that delivers the kind of uncomfortable clarity our field rarely gets. Today, we break down If I Had Legs, I'd Kick You—Mary Bronstein's raw, emotionally accurate look into the lived experience of parenting a neurodivergent child—and why every SLP, special educator, and early-intervention professional needs to watch it. This movie exposes a blind spot in our practice: how we show up for families. And more importantly, how often we get it wrong. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why judging parents instantly destroys trust • How our “professional persona” blocks genuine connection • The simple shift that makes parents feel heard instead of dismissed • When your “support” becomes a burden—and how to stop doing it • Why burnout in families is invisible until it explodes • How to rebuild capacity for parents and for yourself This is not a feel-good conversation. It's a necessary recalibration for anyone who works with families navigating neurodivergence, chronic medical needs, and overwhelming daily demands. If you want to do better for the families you serve, start here. Feeling your own burnout creeping in? Stop white-knuckling it. The SIS Membership provides weekly, ready-to-use, universally designed literacy-movement activities that dramatically reduce your planning time while increasing engagement for every child on your caseload.

In this episode of The Church Planting Podcast, host Greg Nettle, President of Stadia Church Planting, welcomes long-time friend Andy Sikora, planter and lead pastor of Renew Communities in Cleveland. Fresh off a two-week Patagonia trek, Andy reflects on 15 years of church planting and the lessons learned along the way. Andy shares how he and his wife moved to Cleveland after serving in young adult ministry, eventually launching Renew in 2011. He discusses the critical role of perseverance, the importance of planting with people rather than alone, and the conviction that God must truly call you to the work. He illustrates these principles with stories of sending out new planters—like CrossFields Church and Burning River Church—and highlights the collaborative work of the Kingdom Collective, a Cleveland-based partnership that funds and supports multiplication. Greg and Andy also explore sustaining a healthy marriage while leading a church, the power of curiosity for ongoing growth, and why planters should focus less on "sexy" locations and more on God's call to specific people, not just places.

Chris Feistl spent 26 years working for the DEA, including three years in Colombia during the 1990s, helping take down one of the most powerful drug empires in history — the Cali Cartel. His real-life work was portrayed in Narcos: Season 3, but the truth behind the show is even wilder. From undercover operations to high-stakes cartel takedowns, he witnessed firsthand the danger, corruption, and chaos of the war on drugs. Over his career, he earned the DEA Award of Honor, Award for Exceptional Service, and multiple Performance Awards for his role in international investigations. In this exclusive interview, he opens up about what really happened in Colombia, how Narcos got it right (and wrong), and what it was like to spend decades hunting some of the world's most dangerous traffickers. #LockedInWithIanBick #DEAAgent #Narcos #CaliCartel #TrueCrime #DrugCartel #NarcosNetflix #realstories Thank you to BLUECHEW for sponsoring this episode: Visit https://bluechew.com/ and use promo code LOCKEDIN at checkout to get your first month of BlueChew & pay five bucks for shipping.

The Gales of November is very real on the Great Lakes, known as the “Month of Storms.”Some 550 wrecks lie on the bottom of Lake Superior, at least 200 along Superior's Shipwreck Coast, a treacherous 80-Mile stretch with no safe harbor between Munising and Whitefish Point. On November 10, 1975, the Edmund Fitzgerald, a 728 foot freighter went down in a storm described as both blizzard and hurricane taking all 29 crew members to their grave. Made famous by the Gordon Lightfoot song, the wreck has remained a mystery for fifty years.In this episode of the Lake Superior Podcast, Walt Lindala and Frida Waara talk with maritime historian, author and lecturer Fred Stonehouse about that tragic night and what we have learned since her sinking and how her legacy has shaped maritime safety. Key TakeawaysThe Edmund Fitzgerald Sank Fifty Years Ago — But Its Mystery EnduresMaritime historian Fred Stonehouse recounts how the 729-foot freighter Edmund Fitzgerald sank on November 10, 1975, about 15 miles northwest of Whitefish Point. The ship went down without a distress signal, and all 29 crew members were lost—leaving one of the Great Lakes' most haunting mysteries.A Storm Described as Both a Blizzard and a HurricaneThe night the Fitzgerald went down, Lake Superior raged with winds exceeding 75 miles per hour—stronger than a Category 1 hurricane. As Fred explains, the storm “exceeded 75 miles an hour in wind, and a cat one hurricane's only 74.”Hubris and Hard Lessons on the Great Lakes“This was a time when ships had the attitude that they can't sink.”Fred reflects on how the culture of Great Lakes shipping in the 1970s—driven by confidence and schedules—left little room for caution. The Fitzgerald's loss changed that mindset forever, ushering in a new era of safety, respect, and humility toward Lake Superior.The Edmund Fitzgerald at 50: A Tragedy That Changed Everything“The world had changed in that instance when the Fitzgerald disappeared.” The tragedy sparked widespread reforms—from new navigation technology and onboard stress monitoring systems to emergency response protocols. The Ship That Became a Legend“She has sailed from fact into legend of the Great Lakes.”Fred explains how the Edmund Fitzgerald became immortalized through Gordon Lightfoot's ballad, cultural memory, and even merchandise—from ornaments to craft beer. The ship's story transcended history, turning into one of the most iconic Great Lakes legends.An Underwater Graveyard and a Place of ReverenceFred describes the Fitzgerald's final resting place, protected by the Canadian government and closed to divers since 1989. It remains a solemn memorial to the men who perished that night and a reminder of Lake Superior's power.Connect With Us:Lake Superior Podcast Page – https://nplsf.org/podcastFacebook – https://www.facebook.com/NationalParksOfLakeSuperiorFoundationLinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/company/national-parks-of-lake-superior-foundationSponsors:Cafe Imports – Minneapolis-based importers of specialty green coffees since 1993, focused on sustainability.

We delve into the intricacies of file uploads, which may seem straightforward but are fraught with challenges such as security, compliance, and scalability. Igor emphasizes the growing demand for efficient file handling as applications increasingly require users to upload larger files, including images and videos. He explains how Uploadcare's services help developers avoid the pitfalls of building file management systems from scratch, allowing them to focus on their core business rather than dealing with tedious technical issues. This episode provides valuable insights into why many companies should consider using a managed solution like Uploadcare instead of attempting to build their own file management solutions, especially when they can save time and resources in the process.Takeaways: Uploadcare helps engineers manage file uploads, making the process more efficient and reliable. The growing demand for video and image uploads means tools like Uploadcare are essential for developers. Igor emphasized that building file management systems from scratch is often not practical for companies. Uploadcare offers a modular file uploader that integrates easily with various JavaScript frameworks like React and Angular. The service provides real-time image transformations and document conversions to streamline user experiences. Using Uploadcare saves companies valuable engineering time, allowing them to focus on their core business needs.

Host Steven Shalowitz sits down with journalist and author Yaakov Katz to unpack While Israel Slept: How Hamas Surprised the Most Powerful Military in the Middle East. Katz argues that October 7 wasn't a "mystery failure," but the result of a long-running "policy of containment" (the concepcia): believing Hamas could be deterred, managed economically, and fenced in with tech like Iron Dome and border sensors. He walks us through the tense night of Oct. 6–7—alarms, contradictory intel, and warnings from female surveillance soldiers that were brushed aside—and explains why a visible show of force might have changed the next morning.
From hockey stick growth to flat on your face, it hurts and Collin Stewart can tell you firsthand. He had one customer before he left his full-time job, the problem was he still had one customer 18 months later. In his first endeavor this entrepreneur built what he thought everyone needed and kept showing them and expecting them to say how great it was, but they didn't. “I was building my idea. I wasn't building what the customer's wanted.” The lesson, it's all about the customer, what they need and want.

Send us a textFrom leading soldiers on deployment to rebuilding his life after addiction, Dwayne Kent's story is a raw, honest look at what it means to lose yourself — and find purpose through service once again.In this powerful conversation, Dwayne opens up about the operational tempo that drove his early success, the high standards that defined his leadership, and the slippery slope that followed when mental health and alcohol began to spiral out of control.After multiple suicide attempts and a life-changing stint in rehab, Dwayne's journey took an unexpected turn toward healing through plant medicine — an experience that helped him reconnect with his truth, rebuild his identity, and create a new mission through his gym and apparel brand, Sixty3.Dwayne Kent's story unfolds like a field manual for human resilience:Purpose through Service: How service shapes identity and meaning beyond the uniform.High Standards & Operational Tempo: The double-edged sword of excellence — when performance becomes identity.Mental Health & Alcohol: The slow erosion that hides beneath functional success.Hitting Rock Bottom: The unfiltered reality of suicide attempts and the humbling power of rehab.Reconstruction through Plant Medicine: How ancient healing traditions can break modern cycles of shame and self-destruction.Rebirth as a Leader: Dwayne's evolution into a gym owner, mentor, and founder of Sixty3 — rebuilding community through movement and meaning.This episode is about redemption, responsibility, and the courage to rebuild — one decision at a time.

In this episode, Mark Shepard shares the humbling — and humorous — journey of building a regenerative farm from the ground up in northern New York. Through trial and error, he's learned four hard lessons that every beginning farmer should hear before jumping in with both boots. From mismatched leases and overfed pigs to undersized sheep and a rotten stock trailer, Mark's reflections reveal what it truly takes to start from scratch — and keep going.
In this heartfelt Q&A episode, we dive into the real, messy, and emotional parts of personal transformation. Rick answers listeners' most vulnerable questions about why knowing what to do isn't the same as doing it, how to handle unsupportive family members, what to do after a setback, and how to process the grief that comes with letting go of food as comfort. This conversation sheds light on the often-unspoken struggles behind genuine change—and offers compassionate, practical tools for moving through them.Important Points MentionedThe gap between knowing and doing — Understanding your behavior isn't enough; real change happens through emotional practice—learning to sit with discomfort without trying to fix it.Handling family sabotage — When loved ones undermine your progress, it's usually about their discomfort with your change. Setting calm, clear boundaries is key to protecting your growth.Recovering from setbacks — Slip-ups don't erase progress. They reveal what you need to strengthen next—your stress tools, emotional awareness, or support system.Grieving the loss of food as comfort — It's normal to feel sadness when letting go of emotional eating. Acknowledge the grief and replace food with new comfort rituals that nurture you.The myth of the “aha” moment — Transformation rarely happens all at once. It's built through hundreds of small, consistent choices that gradually reshape your relationship with food.Progress is nonlinear — The messy parts of transformation don't mean you're failing—they're signs that you're doing the real, deep work that leads to lasting change.Transformation isn't about perfection, it's about learning to stay with yourself through the discomfort. Every stumble, craving, and moment of doubt is part of the process. Keep showing up, keep practicing, and keep asking the real questions.

I am not a person who likes to do things the easy way. My whole life, I've done nothing but do shit the hard way. And let me tell you.......... The hard way is expensive. It's painful. People steal from you. They run your name down. They try and snuff out your business, your family, and even take your soul. Here's what I know about being a hard head. I'm grateful because of the experiences that gave me the lessons. I learned how to be a better judge of character. I learned how to be a good steward of my resources. I've learned how to be a better father, husband, and businessman. If I were to do everything I've done in my life, even as painful as it was, I would do it all over again, and not change a thing. You can go the easy way, but it's a shortcut and you'll do yourself a disservice and miss out on the wisdom you need to truly elevate you in your life.

The Truth About PE Jobs: High Stakes, Hidden Rules, and Hard Lessons I Kit Lisle Private equity looks glamorous—fast money, big titles, big exits. But the glossy promise hides a brutal truth: most execs flame out before they ever cash out. Step into a PE-backed role and three things hit you at once: Culture shock. The rules change overnight. Acronyms fly. Resources vanish. The stamp. Survive a deal and you're branded a pro athlete of business—faster, sharper, battle-tested. The clock. From day one, it's ticking. No 90-day ramp. Deliver value now. In this episode, Kit Lisle—Army intelligence officer turned M&A strategist and founder of TheOperators.pe—pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to get hired into PE: The myths that kill execs in interviews. The red flags that get you crossed off instantly. Why EQ matters more than spreadsheets. And why job boards are useless when real opportunities live in relationships. PE isn't just another job. It's a sprint, a test, and for those who make it, a career-defining badge of honor. Thinking about a private equity role? Listen now. Because the truth isn't in the job description—it's in the hidden rules Kit Lisle reveals.

Boxing is known as the “Sweet Science,” but the name doesn't quite do it justice. The amount of work, effort, blood, sweat, tears, and beatdowns is anything but sweet. But that doesn't mean there aren't so many powerful lessons to be learned from what my guest today, Ed Latimore, calls the “Hurt Business.” Today, Ed and I talk about how and why people either buy into you (or not), why the next win or loss is just a setup for the next experience of your life, the power of consciously choosing to start over in life and after setbacks, why you're only as good as your last win, and why “old endings” are nothing more than “new beginnings.” SHOW HIGHLIGHTS 00:00 – Intro & reconnecting 02:05 – Early podcast memories 04:05 – Building influence through storytelling 06:20 – The power of brand over product 08:40 – Writing the memoir: process and lessons 10:21 – You're only as good as your last win 17:06 – Everything is an audition 23:33 – When to throw in the towel 30:10 – Why most people shouldn't box 33:22 – Fighting serious people comes at a cost 35:01 – Who chooses a life of combat? 39:32 – The worst guy to fight 46:00 – Identity, curiosity, and starting over 48:56 – How to connect with Ed 51:20 – Nobody's coming to save you 52:33 – Final thoughts & wrap-up Battle Planners: Pick yours up today!
