This week we are reaching back to our very first season to resurface a conversation that has stayed with us. And there is a reason we keep coming back to it.There are a lot of conversations about the mechanics of opening a ketamine clinic. This one is about the why behind it.Dr. Glareh Imani is a board-certified emergency physician who opened Nameen Infusion and Wellness in Goodyear, Arizona after more than eight years in emergency medicine. Her background in neuroscience, her personal experience with ketamine, and a deep sense of gratitude shaped the kind of clinic she built and the way she shows up for her patients every day.What makes this conversation stand out is how honest and human it is. Dr. Imani talks about the unexpected challenges of opening a clinic, the patient transformations that confirmed she had made the right choice, and the personal evolution that came with doing this work. She also reflects on autonomy, on what it means to finally be the one making the decisions, from clinical protocols to the waterfall in her reception area.Recorded at the ASKP3 conference in Austin, Texas during our first season, this episode holds up beautifully. If you are considering the pivot from your current position, or if you are early in building your practice and need a reminder of why you started, this one is for you.What You'll Gain:· Dr. Imani's honest account of what it took to go from the idea of opening a ketamine clinic to actually delivering on it, including what surprised her most along the way· How her background in neuroscience and her personal experience with ketamine shaped both her decision to open a clinic and her approach to patient care· What set and setting actually means in the outpatient clinic context, and how Dr. Imani thinks about the environment she has created for her patients· Two patient stories that capture what ketamine therapy can do when it is delivered with intention and individualized care· What the transition from corporate emergency medicine to clinic ownership actually feels like, including the autonomy, the trade-offs, and the parts you cannot put a price on· How Dr. Imani balances running a clinic, working emergency medicine shifts, and family life, including what she says makes it all possibleEpisode 66 show notes:00:00:00 Teaser: "I'm Happier Now Because I Know I Can Help in a Different Way"00:00:18 Episode Introduction00:02:03 Background: From Neuroscience to Emergency Medicine to Ketamine Therapy00:06:13 Her Personal Ketamine Experience and the Decision to Open a Clinic00:08:19 Unexpected Challenges and the Backup for Everything Rule00:09:00 Ketamine in the Hospital vs. the Outpatient Clinic: Set and Setting00:10:33 Safety Standards and Why EM Training Is an Advantage00:13:00 Patient-Centered Care, Setting Expectations, and the Tools She Relies On00:15:08 Advice to Her Past Self: Start Sooner and Do Not Do It for the Money00:18:02 The Power of Autonomy and What Clinic Ownership Actually Feels Like00:19:40 Personal Evolution: Mindfulness, Journaling, and Resetting Yourself First00:23:21 Patient Stories: Transformation That Confirms the Decision00:26:24 Balancing a Clinic, ER Shifts, Family Life, and Why Community Matters00:28:40 Rapid-Fire Questions Begin00:37:00 Time Travel: Being a Teenager in Vienna as a Refugee00:38:22 Gratitude, Resilience, and the Gift of Helping Others00:40:10 Final Thoughts and Where to Find Dr. Imani00:40:54 Episode EndingConnect with Dr. Imani at:Nameen Infusion & Wellness websiteNameen Infusion & Wellness Instagram

Work can be a source of energy—or the thing that drains it. In Leading for Wellness: How to Create a Team Culture Where Everyone Thrives, industrial/organizational psychologists Dr. Patricia Grabarek and Dr. Katina Sawyer argue that healthy workplaces are built through everyday leadership, not just perks and wellness programs. Then, in Wellbeing at Work: How to Build Resilient and Thriving Teams, Gallup's Jim Clifton and Jim Harter explore how managers can help people thrive across career, social, financial, physical, and community wellbeing. Together, these books ask a deceptively simple question: What would change if leaders treated employee wellbeing as central to performance—not separate from it?

Today, we're speaking to Dr Jasjot Saund, a public health registrar based in London. Title of paper: Association of the NHS Health Check with all-cause mortality: a longitudinal cohort study in primary careAvailable at: https://doi.org/10.3399/BJGP.2025.0451The NHS Health Check (NHS-HC) has been shown to improve detection and management of surrogate markers of health, such as blood pressure and cholesterol. The long-term impact, however, is less evidenced, with mortality reductions seen in a UK Biobank cohort and no mortality reduction seen in a Cochrane review of general health checks, including those outside the UK. The current study added real-world evidence from a diverse UK urban population, and a 15-year study period. Survival analysis of GP electronic health record data shows reduced mortality in those who attended an NHS-HC compared with those who did not. These findings should be interpreted cautiously given the observational nature of the study design.TranscriptThis transcript was generated using AI and has not been reviewed for accuracy.

Thanks for taking the time today to listen to this podcast.In today's episode, we're talking to Dr. Jazjot Sound, a public health registrar based in London.We're here to discuss the paper she's recently published here in the BJGP titled Association of the NHS Health Check with All Cause Mortality, A Longitudinal Cohort Study in Primary Care. So thanks very much for joining us here today, Jazja.It's really great to talk about this work and I think just before we get into the study itself, we know that NHS health checks are something that most GPs will probably be very familiar with, but maybe we don't always stop and think about the evidence behind them. So, just to start off, I wonder if you can explain to us a little bit about, about what the NHS Health Check program is actually designed to do.Speaker B00:00:59.050 - 00:02:16.370Yeah, absolutely.So the NHS Health Check program was rolled out in 2009 and it's essentially a population level preventative initiative, focusing particularly on cardiovascular disease, but potentially wider as well.And so it's specifically targeted at people who are between the ages of 40 and 75 and who don't already have a, a cardiovascular disease or a known cardiovascular disease. And I think that's really important because it's targeting people who are potentially at risk or have undetected disease.And what this means is, so ultimately the health check itself, it consists of a check that's usually undertaken by primary care, so looking at lifestyle factors, modifiable risk factors, biochemical tests, as well as sort of just other general checks. And importantly, this is embedded into primary care pathways.So essentially it's ensuring that these patients are followed up if they are determined to be high risk and potentially put on prescriptions or followed up with lifestyle modifications. So that's generally what the health check is at the moment.Speaker A00:02:16.690 - 00:02:31.070Brilliant. Yeah. And I guess the big question behind this paper is, do they actually make a difference?And I wonder what did we actually know about the impact of NHS health checks before you started this work? So what was out there in the literature already?Speaker B00:02:31.550 - 00:04:07.320Yeah, so there is a, a huge amount of evidence in different parts of the health check. So you might be aware already that it's a multifaceted intervention. So there's, there's the process bits like uptake and invitation.So there's a big amount of evidence that's been telling us that it's really important that we even just the method of invitation can be really influential on who takes up the health check. But then there's also the specific parts of the check itself.So how we communicate risk to patients, for example, can have an impact on how people go home and take on lifestyle advice. And then there's the body of evidence that's closer to where this paper sits, which is looking at clinical outcomes.And there is a whole body of evidence looking at surrogate markers, so things like does it shift the marker on blood pressure or bmi. And then there's the evidence on mortality, for example, or clinical endpoints such as stroke.And so far the evidence is predominantly positive to say we do see a change in clinical outcomes.And more recently, there was a paper in 2024 which was using a UK Biobank cohort and shows that there was an impact, a positive impact on disease, end stage disease, as well as mortality. But as the paper sort of addresses, there's some gaps in this evidence, which is what we. What we hoped to fill.Speaker A00:04:07.560 - 00:04:25.280Yeah.And I guess I wondered if you could just talk us through the data used for this study, because this was a really large real world cohort from an inner city London population, wasn't it? So very different than the kind of population that might, for instance, have taken part in UK Biobank?Speaker B00:04:26.240 - 00:05:17.420Yeah, absolutely.So we thought it was really important to look at whether or not the health check was having an impact as it was being delivered in a real world population.And so we were lucky enough to look at a cohort going all the way back to when the health check was implemented in 2009 in Lambeth, which is a really ethnically diverse and socioeconomically diverse cohort. So, for example, we have a population in lambeth that is 40% non white, as opposed to, I think the UK Biobank participants were 96% white.So there's a real difference.And so we wanted to ensure that the population we looked at was representative of some of the inner city boroughs that have particular challenges around NHS health check uptake.Speaker A00:05:17.660 - 00:05:27.330Okay, so let's get into what you found. And what was the headline result when you compared people who attended at least one NHS health check with those who didn't?Speaker B00:05:28.120 - 00:05:53.320Yeah, so the headline result actually showed that there was a 32% relative risk reduction associated with the health checks on all cause mortality. So that's looking at any cause of death, but shows quite an impressive risk reduction. So that is a relative risk reduction as opposed to absolute.So it's important to note that overall the absolute rate of survival was high,.Speaker A00:05:53.750 - 00:06:03.670And that's pretty Striking, actually. So that substantially lower risk of all cause mortality, were you surprised by the size of that association? So 32% is quite big, isn't it?Speaker B00:06:03.750 - 00:06:33.490I think initially I was surprised, but then looking back at the evidence and the data that's already out there, it does fall in line with kind of what we were seeing, particularly in the UK Biobank cohort as well. I think there is sort of evidence that potentially looks at general health checks, which has shown a converse picture.But as we discussed in the paper, it's really different to how the NHS health check is delivered here. So that's definitely something to bear in mind.Speaker A00:06:33.810 - 00:06:45.250And you also looked at absolute mortality risk over 10 years and the difference seemed to be really pronounced with increasing age. So could you talk us a little bit through what you found there?Speaker B00:06:45.650 - 00:07:39.440Yeah, so we found that although the older population had a. A higher absolute risk reduction, they also had a higher absolute baseline risk of death as well.So it's really difficult to distinguish whether or not that finding was related to the health check being more beneficial in older patients or whether or not actually we see a bigger absolute reduction, because in our over 65 population there is a higher baseline risk of, of death. I think we, like, when looking back at the data population who was enrolled in 2009 at the youngest possible age were 40.And even though we had 14 years of follow up, they would only be 57 years old at this point now. So their absolute risk of death is still very low, which might be more difficult to pick up in a study like this.Speaker A00:07:39.760 - 00:08:10.860Yeah, fair enough.And I guess, you know, whenever we look at observational research, I suppose the question is whether people who attend an NHS health check are somehow different than people who don't. And that's, you know, in parallel to the studies. For instance, you know, just focusing on UK Biobank, it's sort of a different population really.And I guess people who attend a health check could potentially be more health conscious or more likely to engage with healthcare. Anyway. How did you try to account for that in this work?Speaker B00:08:11.100 - 00:09:45.530Yeah, and that's a really important point to pick up and something that's really challenging in observational data in general. But so, yeah, we really wanted to make sure we tried to adjust or account...

In this episode of the Hunting Connection Podcast, I'm joined by Brad from Aussie Bowhunting Apparel, who is also the man behind an awesome initiative called Boars for a Cause. So, what exactly is Boars for a Cause? It's pretty simple — bowhunters get out there and chase pigs, while businesses and individuals pledge a dollar amount for every boar taken throughout the campaign. At the end of it, those pigs turn into something positive for people who genuinely need a helping hand. What started as an idea to bring the bowhunting community together has grown into something pretty bloody special. Last year, with the support of hunters, businesses and everyone who got behind the cause, they raised over $11,000. That money went towards toys for children's hospitals, grocery vouchers, blankets for Ronald McDonald House and support for kids affected by domestic violence. No big organisation. No complicated bullshit. Just hunters, businesses and good people getting behind a good cause and making a difference. Hunt pigs. Raise money. Help people.

Paxlovid helped a lot of people get over COVID faster. But what about the people who never got better? A large NIH-funded trial put that question to the test in almost 1,000 people, and the answer was no. The 89% reduction that made Paxlovid famous came out of a narrow, high-risk group back in 2021, during the Delta wave. That was a different question, in a different group, at a different point in the pandemic. Evan H. Hirsch, MD, breaks down what the RECOVER-VITAL trial actually found after six months, why trials at Yale and Stanford landed in the same place, and what the drug was designed to do from the start. He also gets into what else is keeping you sick: the spike protein appears to wake up viruses that have been dormant inside you for years, and he shares how a client who took Paxlovid twice only got better once all of the Toxic 5 were addressed. In this episode, you'll learn: What Paxlovid was actually approved for, and why the famous 89% reduction in hospitalizations came out of a narrow, high-risk group during the 2021 Delta wave What the NIH-funded RECOVER-VITAL trial found when almost 1,000 people took extended Paxlovid for six months, and why trials at Yale and Stanford found the same thing Why the drug is safe to take for that long but still cannot resolve Long COVID on its own How the spike protein appears to wake up viruses like Epstein-Barr and HHV6 that over 90% of us already carry, and why a new trial at Mount Sinai is stacking antivirals because of it What the Toxic 5 are, and how a client who took Paxlovid twice recovered only after all five root causes were addressed How a client recovered by addressing all five root causes together, not just the reactivated virus driving her brain fog Discover your fatigue score and the root causes keeping you stuck: https://myfatiguescore.com Free Fatigue Masterclass: https://fixyourfatigue.com See real results: https://energymdmethod.com/results Chapters: 00:00 - Introduction 00:38 - What Paxlovid Is and What It Was Made For 01:53 - Can Paxlovid Help the Chronic Version? 02:19 - What the RECOVER-VITAL Trial Found 03:13 - Why One Antiviral Was Never Enough 04:24 - The Viruses the Spike Protein Wakes Up 05:39 - Case Study: A Client's Recovery 06:43 - Where That Leaves Paxlovid Subscribe to the EnergyMD Podcast for weekly conversations with leading experts on resolving ME/CFS and Long COVID by addressing the real root causes. .

A former Marine who did eight combat deployments in eight years now spends his time teaching people to stop pitching and start asking better questions.Keith Gillispie, founder of REI Automated, left the Marines in 2020 to build a real estate investing and coaching business that's helped more than 1,200 people, with close to 580 of them closing their very first deal. He broke down exactly how he qualifies, questions, and consults his way to the close.Why "Selling" Is the Wrong Mindset (Stop Being House Horny)Keith's blunt term for pushy sellers: house horny, chasing the deal so hard that they force the wrong solution onto someone just to close it.His fix is simple: stop selling, and start asking great questions that guide the prospect to the answer on their own.He reviews sales calls with his own team every week, and the biggest issue he catches with newer reps is a used-car-salesman energy that shows up the moment they stop asking and start pitching.Qualify for the Right Industry FirstKeith gets over a hundred Facebook messages a day, and his team has to pre-qualify people before he ever gets on a call.A recent example: a rep flagged someone as "qualified" who actually wanted coaching on commercial real estate, which Keith doesn't teach at all. Same broad label, completely wrong fit.Even inside a niche that sounds close enough, being in the wrong specific industry wastes everyone's time.Qualify for the Right Problem: Your Core Competency Must Match Their Core ConstraintKeith's rule: everyone has problems, but that alone doesn't make someone a fit. What he's good at has to be exactly what the prospect is bad at.He calls this matching your core competency to their core constraint. If there's no real gap for him to fill, there's no real reason for the two of them to work together.This is what separates a win-win engagement from a sale that shouldn't have happened in the first place.Qualify for the Right Money (Or Every Call Becomes Charity)Even with the right industry and the right problem, a prospect still has to be able to afford the solution, or the call turns into free coaching.Keith shared a recent example of two prospects who badly wanted to join his program but couldn't spend even $300, when his coaching runs into the thousands.He's direct with his own team about this: sending him financially unqualified leads turns every call into charity work, which isn't sustainable as a business, even though he's genuinely happy to hand out free value when it makes sense.Diagnose Before You PrescribeKeith estimates that more than half of the people who come to him think they know what they need, and they're wrong.His example: prospects ask for automation when they don't even have leads coming in yet, or don't know how to structure a deal. Automating a broken process just scales the chaos faster.He compares it to a patient self-diagnosing before seeing a doctor. The seller's job, like a doctor's, is to ask enough questions to find the real issue before recommending anything.Get Comfortable Asking Uncomfortable Financial QuestionsKeith walks straight into questions like current income, whether that number is gross or net, and total debt, early in a call, because he can't build a plan without knowing where someone actually stands.He compares it to Google Maps: you need a point of origin and a point of destination before you can build the route in between.Roughly one in twenty-five or thirty people push back on how direct these questions are. Keith's response is straightforward: if they can't handle these basic questions now, the program itself is going to be a rough fit.Build Yes Momentum With Small AsksKeith structures his qualifying questions to build what he calls yes momentum: each small, reasonable question makes the next one easier to answer.He starts broad, what do you do, how long have you done it, before narrowing into income, debt, and financial specifics, so the conversation earns its way to the harder questions instead of opening with them.That same sequence doubles as training. The financial questions he asks on a discovery call mirror the exact questions his students will later need to ask sellers and private lenders.Ask Questions, Don't Make StatementsKeith's rule for himself: don't make a statement for the first 60 percent of any sales call, aside from short softening statements like "I'm glad you asked that."The only exception is a brief acknowledgment before turning right back around and asking another question.Whoever is asking the questions is steering the conversation, and Keith treats that as true for the entire first half of every call he runs.Never Fully Answer a Question Without Asking One BackKeith borrows from Socratic questioning: when a prospect asks a direct question, like how fast he can close on a house, answering too quickly and too specifically can blow up the deal in either direction.Instead, he gives a partial, honest answer, then asks a question that uncovers the real reason behind their question, like whether they need to move fast or need more time.That extra step means his eventual answer is actually calibrated to what the person needs, instead of a generic response that might scare them off or fail to meet an urgent situation.Become a Lifelong Student of Your CraftKeith has taken more than ten thousand sales calls over eleven years and still says the more he learns about sales psychology, the more he realizes he doesn't know.His advice for anyone serious about improving: invest in a coach or mentor who can review real calls and point out specific gaps, rather than trying to learn everything for free through trial and error.His framing: you'll pay for the lesson either way, either in money to a mentor, or in wasted time and missed opportunity learning the hard way."People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care." — Keith GillispieResourcesConnect with Keith Gillispie on LinkedIn.Visit REI Automated to learn more about Keith's education, software, and coaching community for real estate investors.Join our LinkedIn cohort and learn to prospect the right way.Visit Blue Mango Studios for help creating podcast production content.Sponsorship OffersThis episode is brought to you in part by Hubspot.With HubSpot sales hubs, your data tools and teams join a single platform to close deals and turn prospects into pipelines.

Ginny Burton’s life began in chaos. She says she was introduced to drugs at just seven years old, endured years of abuse and violence, spent almost a decade in prison across three sentences, and accumulated 17 felony convictions. At her lowest, Ginny describes a life of drugs, violent crime, and repeatedly believing she wouldn’t survive. Then, after being arrested again at 40 and facing a fourth prison sentence, something changed. Nearly 14 years later, she is clean and sober and now uses her experiences to help others rebuild their lives. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Why Help People Anyway? Helping people sounds simple until the person we help disappoints us, criticizes us, misunderstands us, or gives us absolutely nothing back. Today we'll talk about why we help in the first place, what happens when expectations get mixed into service, and how we can continue being useful without letting other people's behavior control our serenity. We'll also talk about the vulnerability that comes with putting ourselves out there publicly—because helping people does not mean we stop being human or stop having reactions when things hurt. We can have boundaries. We can step away when necessary. And we can still choose to help because that is the kind of person we want to be. #TheDailyTrudge #WhyHelpPeople #Service #Recovery #Sobriety #AlcoholicsAnonymous #AARecovery #Boundaries #Serenity #HelpingOthers

Mann School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, to explore how those experiences have shaped the way she thinks about leadership, belonging, well-being, and organizational success. Melissa shares the unconventional journey that took her from choosing pharmacy as a young woman seeking stability, to academia and chronic pain care, to experiencing a significant period of professional burnout that forced her to reconsider her relationship with work and leadership.That experience became part of what shaped the work she does today.Across her roles—as a mother, clinician, educator, and organizational leader—Melissa keeps returning to a common idea: people are more likely to succeed when the environments and systems around them are intentionally designed to support their success. In this episode, you'll learn: How Melissa's experiences as a woman, single mother, healthcare professional, educator, and leader have shaped her approach to leadership  The burnout experience that changed the trajectory of her career  Why belonging and well-being are connected to organizational success  How Melissa's clinical experience influences the way she approaches organizational leadership  Why sustainable change requires moving beyond programs and events to systems and structures  The importance of listening to people rather than assuming what they need  Why accountability and compassion don't have to be opposites  How values, data, strategy, and stakeholder input can guide organizations through change  Why developing new leaders is essential to building communities and initiatives that last  Melissa's refreshingly simple advice for navigating an uncertain future: do something useful One of the biggest reminders from this conversation:Belonging and well-being aren't separate from organizational success. They're part of the conditions that make success possible.Whether you're leading a healthcare team, university, corporation, employee community, nonprofit, or simply thinking about the environments you create for the people around you, this conversation invites us to consider a bigger question:Are we asking people to thrive—or are we intentionally building the conditions that allow them to?About Dr. Melissa DurhamDr. Melissa Durham, PharmD, MACM, is an Associate Professor of Clinical Pharmacy and Associate Dean of Organizational Success and Well-being at the USC Alfred E.

What does it actually look like to love your neighbor? In this message from illuminate church in Kissimmee, Florida, Christine Ingram unpacks Matthew 25:34-40, where Jesus draws a direct line between caring for the hungry, the stranger, and the person in need, and caring for him personally. It is easy to treat compassion as optional, something we get to if we have time or resources left over, but Jesus does not leave room for that. This message also looks at John 13, where Jesus washes his disciples' feet, not out of obligation, but because he knew exactly who he was and the authority he carried. Real generosity, real service, and real love for people in need does not come from guilt or pressure. It flows from identity, from knowing who you are in Christ. You will hear real stories of everyday people, on a softball team, behind a camera, and in a church lobby, who chose to show up for someone else without needing recognition for it. Whether you are wrestling with what it means to help people in need, curious about the connection between faith and identity, or just looking for a practical next step to love your neighbor this week, this message will meet you there. illuminate church exists to help people find abundant life in Jesus. Learn more and plan your visit at illuminate.church.

The age of generic, non-denominational Christianity may be coming to an end. Phil, Skye, and Kaitlyn discuss why Christians are increasingly drawn to narrower theological identities, and whether the internet is turning legitimate doctrinal differences into purity tests and church fights. Then, the crew opens the mailbag to answer whether prenuptial agreements are compatible with Christian marriage and if praying in public is an authentic expression of faith or an uncomfortable performance. They also consider what Christians should read to better understand the end times and why Jesus supplied wine to an already-drunk wedding party. Also this week, why the VeggieTales have nothing to fear from the cyclosporiasis outbreak.   Holy Post Live! https://www.holypost.com/events   Holy Post Plus: Ad-Free Version of this Episode: https://holypost.substack.com/p/732-mailbag-prenups-mere-christianity?r=35kf51&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&triedRedirect=true 0:00 - Show Starts 0:33 - Theme Song 0:55 - Sponsor - Ridge - The Ridge 5-in-1 Power Bank, power on-the-go without compromise!

Today's episode takes us all the way back to episode one as part of my somewhat sporadic summer review series. We're revisiting one of the foundational ideas behind almost everything I do as a counselor, consultant, and in my own relationships: emotional security. What is emotional security? Why does it matter? How does it change the way we handle conflict, build trust, and grow stronger relationships? Whether you're trying to repair a struggling relationship, deepen a healthy one, or simply become a wiser, more emotionally mature person, this conversation lays the groundwork. It explores the philosophy that undergirds nearly everything I teach in couples therapy and throughout my work. If you've ever felt stuck in your relationships or wanted to understand why some people seem to grow through life's challenges while others stay trapped by them, this is a great place to start.

we're nearly halfway through 2026 so let's take a moment to consider how many of our New Year's resolutions we've actually stuck to so far. I don't know about you but I didn't even bother this year; I've just failed to keep so many in the past that I didn't want to set myself up for disappointment again. Wait a minute, vegan but bacon - aren't those polar opposites?! Are we basically saying it's fine to only do things halfway then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

YOU DON'T NEED TO BE AN EXPERT TO HELP PEOPLE. HERE'S WHY. I've recorded close to three thousand talks over the last ten years.  And I still don't think of myself as a teacher. In today's episode, I'm talking about why, and how shifting from "teaching" to "creating experiences" has completely changed the way I build everything, from courses to community to the new project I'm starting this year. Join me on 13th July for a free masterclass where I break down the steps: from idea to income when it comes to teaching art and building experiences. You don't need any experience.

In this disturbing episode, Chris revisits the case of Devin Fernandez, a former corrections officer who crossed the line from authority figure to alleged predator, luring a 14-year old girl for sex, during an undercover sting operation. Through graphic chat logs and tense interrogation moments, Chris exposes the calculated manipulation, grooming tactics, and dangerous mindset behind the encounter.  But the investigation goes deeper. Chris pulls back the curtain on the justice system itself, comparing wildly different sentencing outcomes in cases from Florida to California — including the controversial plea deals that leave many asking whether predators are truly being held accountable. Why do some offenders face decades behind bars while others walk away with shockingly light punishment.  Sponsored by: Home Title Lock: Go to https://hometitlelock.com/chrishansen and use promo code HANSEN to get a FREE title history report and a FREE TRIAL of their Triple Lock Protection!

Rickey Smiley is a nationally beloved stand-up comedian, award-winning syndicated radio host, television personality, bestselling author, and one of the most authentic voices in entertainment today. Born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama, Rickey first captured America's attention through his legendary prank phone calls and breakout performances on BET's Comic View before building a media empire that includes The Rickey Smiley Morning Show, heard in over 70 cities nationwide. A two-time Marconi Award winner, Rickey has starred in multiple television series and specials, including his critically acclaimed Hulu comedy special Foolish. Beyond the laughs, Rickey is a devoted father, grandfather, mentor, and man of deep faith who uses his platform to uplift communities and inspire others. His bestselling memoir, Sideshow: Living with Loss and Moving Forward with Faith, chronicles his journey through unimaginable grief—including the loss of his eldest son Brandon—and stands as a powerful testament to resilience, service, and the healing power of purpose. Takeaways:Give Your Kids What You Had, Not What You Didn't: Rickey Smiley is unapologetic about raising his children and grandchildren with the same discipline, structure, and old-fashioned home training his grandparents gave him. No negotiations, no iPads as pacifiers, no coddling. In a world where everything right is being called wrong and everything wrong is being called right, Rickey stands firm—because the foundation that built him still works. If you liked who you became, give your kids the blueprint that made you, not the things you missed out on.Men, Put Your Ego Down and Get Help: Rickey Smiley performed comedy shows while crying backstage. He went back on the radio three days after burying his son because eight million listeners needed him. But behind closed doors, he sat on the steps of his kitchen and cried for days. This conversation is a direct message to men—you cannot be too big, too proud, or too successful to grieve, to seek therapy, and to talk about what you are carrying. Rickey's honesty about his own mental health journey, and Mick's personal testimony about how the book Sideshow pushed him into therapy, is the kind of real talk that saves lives.Help People, Protect Your Peace, and Pay It Forward: Rickey's “because” is simple—he wakes up every day to serve, to bless, and to make somebody's life better. But he also delivers a truth that every giver needs to hear: not everybody you help is going to appreciate it. Out of twenty people you pour into, maybe six or seven will say thank you. Be prepared for the disappointment, protect your peace fiercely, and keep pouring anyway—because that is the assignment. Our grandparents and teachers made personal sacrifices so we could have what we have, and the only proper response is to pay it forward. Sound Bytes:“I told God a long time ago, hey, if you get me out of this rut right here, I promise you, I'll serve you to the day I die and try to make somebody life better because of the things that you bless me with.” “You literally on stage, doing joke, doing comedy, performing while you crying on the inside.” “I think that what my grandparents and my parents did for me, it worked for me. It was critical to my development. And if it worked for me, it should work for my kids, because it still works.” Connect & Discover Rickey:Instagram: @rickeysmileyofficialFacebook: @RickeySmileyOfficialYouTube: @RickeySmileyOfficialTikTok: @rickeysmileydigitalWebsite: RickeySmiley.comShow: The Rickey Smiley Morning ShowBook: Sideshow: Living with Loss and Moving Forward with Faith
