Most Canadians believe that Canada's Old Age Security benefits act as a safety net, lifting struggling retirees out of poverty. But in this episode of the Hard Truths pod, Generation Squeeze founder, Dr. Paul Kershaw explains the hard truth: Some seniors with two homes, seven-figure portfolios, and six-figure incomes are still collecting OAS. And not just a token amount — retired couples with $180,000 in income still qualify for roughly $18,000 a year in OAS benefits. Paul dives deep into The Globe and Mail's "Financial Facelift"column. Every weekend, financial experts help Canadians fine-tune their retirement plans. The advice is smart and methodical, showing how to make the most of tax and benefit rules. But those columns also reveal something deeper —how our most expensive federal program, Old Age Security, has drifted from protecting retirees from poverty to padding the comfort of affluence .

If you want the real truth about divorce, buckle up. In this episode, Andrea and Morgan deliver the unfiltered, uncomfortable, absolutely-necessary truths your lawyer wishes you understood…but might be too afraid to say directly.From how the legal system really works to why your expectations are sabotaging your sanity, this episode is the wake-up call you need if you're navigating divorce, co-parenting, or even just preparing for that dreaded Thanksgiving dinner with your very opinionated family.This one is honest, hilarious, a little unhinged (hi Andrea), and packed with strategic guidance that will help you avoid major mistakes.What You'll Learn in This Episode1. Nothing in divorce is “fair” — and why that mindset will destroy youThe legal system doesn't care about fairness. It's designed for equitable distribution, not emotional justice.2. Stop expecting the legal system to deliver revengeMorgan breaks down why the courts aren't built to punish your ex — even when you deeply (and correctly) feel they deserve it.3. Lower your expectations, raise your strategyWhy your expectations are often unrealistic, what “the range” actually means in divorce outcomes, and how lowering your expectations protects your mental health and your wallet.4. Know the law where you actually live (yes, geography matters)Andrea reminds listeners that different states = different standards. Don't guess. Don't Google. Ask your lawyer to explain what's realistic where YOU live.5. Stop focusing on your ex — focus on YOUYour ex won't suddenly transform into a better human mid-divorce. (Brenda does not become Glinda.) Focus on your responses, your regulation, and your strategy.6. Backseat drivers & Thanksgiving disastersHow to shut down intrusive family commentary (“That's not fair!”) and exactly what to say at the holiday table when everyone wants details about your divorce.7. Your kids will hurt — but they will be OKAndrea shares her own emotional story about her first Thanksgiving without her kids, and how focusing on what she could control changed everything.8. Do NOT fire off emotional textsUse a communication app like OurFamilyWizard to protect yourself legally and emotionally — especially with the ToneMeter feature that stops you from sending something you'll regret. Hard Truths from This EpisodeThe legal system is not designed to make you feel better.Your ex won't change just because you'd like them to.Your attorney isn't your therapist.Fairness is not a legal standard.

Pool Pros text questions hereOn this Wednesday episode of the Talking Pools Podcast, host Natalie Hood (Director of Education & Network Development for The Grit Game) sits down with lifeguard historian, trainer, and content creator Miss Madison Ray to pull back the curtain on what lifeguards actually do, why they're leaving the industry, and how dangerous our “they're just babysitters” mindset really is.From CPR in real facilities to CPR to Taylor Swift on TikTok, this episode hits both the heart and the hard facts.Episode SummaryNatalie opens the show with a real incident: At her facility, a patron went into cardiac arrest. The on-deck lifeguard initially walked past—but caught the emergency within seconds, initiated CPR, and helped save a life. The response was described as textbook by higher management.From there, Natalie introduces her guest:Meet Madison Ray — The Lifeguard HistorianLifeguard, aquatics professional, and content creator known as:@missmadisonray on TikTok & Instagram“The Singing Lifeguard” on TikTok“The Lifeguard Historian” on YouTubeCreates viral CPR rhythm videos using Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter, and more to teach compressions.Fell into aquatics after a missed movie theater job call and a nudge from her mom to apply at the rec center.Planned to become a high school history teacher… instead became head of aquatics at 21.Now 23, she's writing a full history of lifeguarding that started as a 25-page thesis and has grown to 100+ pages (and counting), including research back to the 1800s and original 1938 American Red Cross Lifesaving manuals.With tuition assistance on the line, Madison made her college history degree directly relevant to aquatics by tying lifeguard history + education into her senior thesis. She argues that lighthouse keepers were essentially the first modern lifeguards—vigilance, rescue, and readiness long before red trunks and rescue tubes.Myth-Busting with the Lifeguard HistorianNatalie and Madison spend the heart of the episode tearing down three of the most harmful myths in aquatics.

The conversation highlights the pressing issue of intergenerational tensions in Canada, particularly focusing on the financial burdens faced by younger Canadians. Sabrina discusses the potential consequences of failing to address these issues, including the risk to public healthcare and the erosion of political support for senior programs.

A school police officer told an auditor that filming an officer is illegal. It wasn't—and what followed became a masterclass in rights, ego, and how quickly a routine moment can unravel when the law takes a back seat. We invited David from San Joaquin Valley Transparency to walk us through the viral arrest and the lessons he's learned after years of auditing—then put those claims under the microscope with three cops who train recruits and call out bad policing.Together we map the real line between lawful public recording and unlawful interference and explain why prior restraint and, in California, the Bain Act matter on the street—not just in court. We talk through field-tested approaches any patrol officer can use today: speak to the caller first, observe before you engage, and treat auditors as a chance to educate the public. We also get into the cultural stuff you won't see in a policy binder: how ego fills the gap when an officer isn't sure, why a simple “let me verify” can defuse a confrontation, and how confidence from jiu‑jitsu or boxing training lowers hesitation and reduces force.David shares concrete wins achieved through public records, complaint routing, and sustained local pressure, including leadership changes that followed documented misconduct. We push for more transparency, including body‑worn cameras that stay on with no muting during calls, and accountability that extends past police to prosecutors, judges, and corrections. The conversation lands on a nuanced truth: yes, we need professionals to handle real violence, and yes, citizens must know their rights. When both are true in practice, cameras become bridges, not battlegrounds.If you care about First Amendment audits, police reform that actually works, and the kind of training that protects everyone, this one's worth your time.

11.23.2025 - Hard Truths for Soft Relationships - The Nobility and Burden of Widowhood - 1 Tim. 5-3-16 by Anacostia River Church

Thanks for worshiping with us! Let us know you're here at tulsafbc.org/next we'd love to connect with you! Minor Prophets – Hard Truths: Haggai | Haggai 1:1-2; 5:4-15 Sermon from November 23, 2025 – Deron Spoo, Pastor Part 7 of 12 in the series Minor Prophets

Ananias and Sapphira paid the ultimate price, not for holding back money, but for lying to the Holy Spirit about their motive. Did God overreact, punishing a “trivial offense” with death? This sermon on Acts 5 reveals how we must understand the entire human story—from Genesis to the Cross—to grasp God's absolute holiness and the staggering mercy we live under every day. God's grace changes our hearts and frees us to be cheerful givers who trust Him completely.Support the show

For decades, investor and business leader Steve Howard watched companies pour money and effort into sustainability initiatives ... and still fall short. The problem isn't a lack of will, he says; it's that capitalism and climate have been wired to work against each other. He shares four realities that explain why even well-intentioned businesses fail at climate action — as well as a plan to flip the system, making green innovation so powerful the market can't resist it. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This episode flips the script as producer Jimmie Markham interviews host Dan Karnuta about the year's biggest healthcare themes. They revisit discussions form previous episodes on AI governance, operational adoption, workforce resistance, healthcare education pipelines, insurance pitfalls, nursing workflow redesign and physician well-being. Karnuta emphasizes that rapid technological change demands strong communication, thoughtful change management and a workforce prepared to partner with AI. They also explore deeper systemic issues, including healthcare's "klugeocracy" — a system built on decades of quick fixes. Despite the complexity and inefficiency this creates, Karnuta ends on a hopeful note: the industry is talking openly about its challenges, experimenting with new solutions and developing leaders committed to improving the system. Karnuta is an associate professor in the Naveen Jindal School of Management's Organizations, Strategy and International Management Area as well as director of its Professional Program in Healthcare Management.

Tyler shares the moments most owners hide.

When was the last time you actually sat down and reflected on where you're at?Not the "I'll think about it while I'm rushing through my to-do list" kind of reflection. I'm talking about actually sitting with yourself, asking the hard questions, and getting real about what's working, what's not, and where you're actually going.Today's episode is different. This is a full reflection exercise that I'm walking you through, both personally and professionally. I'm asking you the same questions I ask myself and my clients, and I'm sharing my own raw answers as we go.We're covering what made you proud this year (even if nobody noticed), where you drained yourself, what boundaries you slipped on, what surprised you about your growth, where you self-sabotaged, and what you actually want for next year. I'm also getting honest about where I overextended, under-resourced myself, and tried to pretend I wasn't human this year.Grab a journal or your notes app. You can listen and reflect as you go, or come back to this one quarterly. Either way, this is the clarity work that actually creates direction.00:46 Introduction06:03 Personal Reflection Questions14:10 Professional Reflection Questions20:49 Wins and Wake-Up Calls32:01 Facing Fears and Taking Risks33:39 Overextending and Setting Boundaries39:24 Personal Goals and Daily Life42:13 Becoming Your Future Self45:35 Sustaining Growth Without Burnout51:11 Long-Term Vision and Focus58:54 Reflection and DirectionTo join the Ambitious Network for free, click HERE.

The High and Low Basketball Show is back!Host Ike Amaechi returns with Ugo, Mitch Orsatti, Steven Leslie, and Sean Khan to break down the state of the NBA after a long hiatus. The crew dives straight into the deep end — debating who's the real face of the league in 2025: Luka? Shai? Wemby? Ant-Man? Or has the NBA finally outgrown the idea of one defining superstar?Then, Ike leads the panel through a no-holds-barred Hard Truths segment — confronting the uncomfortable realities NBA fans don't always want to hear, including why the U.S. might not be the center of the basketball universe anymore.And finally, they unpack the “noise” — how the NBA became louder than ever online, yet somehow lost the attention of fans who actually used to watch.Also, check out brand new High and Low merch at vonnabrahamm.com/store, and subscribe to the High and Low Retrospective YouTube channel for deep dives into the TV, film, and music that shaped the culture.Music for this episode is by Lyve of the Enjoy Music Group and Sonny Rocwell of The Goodness.

Most AI startups die before they even ship. Worse: they spend months building the wrong thing.This week on Zero to One, Ankur Patel (Multimodal / AgentFlow) dropped some of the clearest, most brutal (and useful) advice we've heard for anyone trying to go from zero to one in enterprise AI.

LightSpeed VT: https://www.lightspeedvt.com/ Dropping Bombs Podcast: https://www.droppingbombs.com/ What if doing hard sh*t on purpose was the fastest way to build a multi-company empire? In this hard-hitting Dropping Bombs episode, Buck Holly—Marine veteran, world champion shooter, and founder of C&H Precision—goes from broke farm kid in Minnesota to leading multi-million-dollar plays in precision manufacturing, software, and performance nutrition. He built gear warfighters trust (red-dot pistol optics, optic mounting plates, limited-run pistols), invented early drone tech as a defense contractor, and hires misfits with grit over pedigree. Buck says it straight: comfort destroys success, real-world exposure crushes racism and homophobia, and the government keeps people divided on race and guns so they never build anything that lasts.   Then he hands you the operator's playbook: buy the machine you'll need next year, overstaff so you never miss demand, and when suppliers squeeze you—build it in-house. He's rolling out AIM Software to replace agency spreadsheet chaos, expanding BullyWerx to manufacture parts and run youth EV kit programs that teach real manufacturing, and pushing Ruck Pack (featured on Shark Tank) to fuel performance without junk. If you're done with fragile supply chains, influencer gear, and borrowed narratives, steal Buck's model—do hard sh*t, make it easy to buy, and build companies that outlast trends.
