What if the chronic pain you can’t shake, the anxiety that won’t quit, or the patterns you keep repeating aren’t actually yours? What if they belong to your father’s father, your mother’s mother, carried forward through generations in your electromagnetic field? While most health approaches focus on chemicals and mechanics, sound researcher Eileen McKusick reveals a revolutionary truth: we are fundamentally electrical beings, and our ancestors’ unresolved trauma lives in our biofield. In this transformative episode, she shares how therapeutic sound can release generational pain that’s been trapped in your body for decades, or even centuries. The Researcher Who Maps the Invisible Eileen Day McKusick isn’t just theorising about energy fields. Since 1996, she has been methodically studying the effects of sound on the human body’s electrical system. Through nearly 30 years of clinical practice using tuning forks, she discovered something extraordinary: the human biofield has specific, mappable anatomy that stores our memories, emotions, and ancestral patterns. As a researcher, writer, inventor, and educator who has trained over 3,500 biofield tuning practitioners worldwide, Eileen bridges the gap between ancient wisdom and modern understanding. Her books, “Tuning the Human Biofield” and “Electric Body, Electric Health,” provide the framework for a completely different way of understanding health. The Ancestral Rivers Running Through You Eileen’s most striking discovery: structures she calls “ancestral rivers” that run down either side of your body, carrying the electromagnetic information of your bloodline. “The one on the right side holds the information of the bloodline of your father,” Eileen explains. “If your father is an alcoholic, and his father is an alcoholic, and his father is an alcoholic, that information is very turgid. It’s very full of problems that were never solved. It’s full of the violence and the chaos and emotional dysfunction of your ancestors.” The left side carries your mother’s lineage. These aren’t metaphors. Skilled practitioners can actually hear and feel these patterns through tuning forks, identifying inherited addiction, suppressed rage, and unresolved grief that inform your behaviour, thinking, and feelings today. What Really Ails You “Most of what ails us, whether it’s physical pain, depression, anxiety, or digestive disorders, is related to a pattern of tension in the body,” Eileen reveals. These tensions come from childhood contractions, suppressed emotions, and the fundamental unsafety many experienced growing up. We’ve been taught to hold back anger, to be strong, to suppress symptoms. This creates electromagnetic resistance in our bodies. Your migraine isn’t just a headache. Your digestive issues aren’t just about food. They’re patterns of tension inhibiting flow, creating noise in your electrical signal. The Power of Coherent Sound Through tuning forks, Eileen has successfully treated acute pain, taking people from an eight or nine on the pain scale to nearly zero in 15 to 20 minutes. Published research shows biofield tuning’s effectiveness for anxiety relief. But how? “A strong, coherent signal overtakes and entrains a weak, incoherent signal,” she explains. The tuning fork produces steady, coherent vibration that gently coaches your body into relaxation and release. It’s physics, resonance, and the body’s innate capacity to heal when given the right support. During our conversation, Eileen relieved my severe migraine in real time using a 222 Hertz tuning fork. The tightness I’d felt like a helmet around my head simply loosened and released. The Electric Health Revolution Eileen challenges us to shift from the chemical-mechanical health model to an electric health perspective. “We go to the beach to recharge, and we literally do,” she says. “Our electric body recharges in sunlight, salt water, and ionised air.” This perspective empowers self-care in radical ways: grounding barefoot on the earth, using your voice to express rather than suppress, listening to coherent sounds, and feeding your electrical body what makes you feel “ah” instead of “ugh.” Breaking Free from Generational Patterns The liberating truth: ancestral patterns can be released. Through sound, you can untie the electromagnetic knots your family has carried for generations. “Your biography becomes your biology,” Eileen warns, “but it doesn’t have to stay that way.” Real healing can be uncomfortable. Detox happens. Emotions surface. But what emerges on the other side is a version of you no longer burdened by patterns that were never yours to carry. Three Golden Nuggets for Electric Health The Electric Health Perspective Changes Everything. Stop looking for chemical solutions to electrical problems. Your body is fundamentally electrical, and addressing that system first allows everything else to follow. Electric Health Empowers Self-Care. You don’t need expensive treatments. Grounding, sunshine, laughter, hugging, and even listening to a single tuning fork can profoundly shift your electrical state. Your Voice Is Your Most Powerful Healing Tool. What comes out of your mouth is more powerful than what goes into it. Express rather than suppress. Your words are electromagnetic and creative, literally shaping your reality. About Eileen McKusick Eileen Day McKusick is a pioneering researcher, writer, inventor, practitioner, educator, and speaker in therapeutic sound, the human biofield, and electric health. She is the founder of biofield tuning and author of “Tuning the Human Biofield” and “Electric Body, Electric Health.” Since 1996, she has been studying the effects of sound on the human body’s electrical system. Key Takeaway You are not destined to repeat your ancestors’ struggles. The pain, patterns, and dysfunction you carry can be released through understanding yourself as an electrical being. When you address the noise in your biofield and restore coherence to your electromagnetic system, your body remembers how to heal itself. Coming home to electric health means reclaiming the brilliant, flowing, coherent being you were designed to be.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1161: Today we're talking about the end of the EV lease credit frenzy and how dealers and OEMs are adjusting. We'll also hit Hertz's big push into e-commerce with Tom Brady, and OpenAI's bold play to challenge TikTok with AI video.With the $7,500 EV lease credit gone, September's sales rush gave way to a new normal. Dealers say volume could dip at first, but manufacturers are adjusting incentives, production, and lease programs while retailers recalibrate inventory and ordering strategies.Ford CEO Jim Farley said he “wouldn't be surprised” if EV sales fall by half without the federal incentive.Like we covered a couple of days ago, GM and Ford are extending the lease credit through creative captive finance workarounds, while Hyundai is offering a $7,500 cash incentive on the 2025 Ioniq 5 and plans to cut 2026 model prices by up to $9,800.Dealer Andy Guelcher says “It was time for this to go away, and I think that [EVs] can stand on their own,” but he expects some near-term demand bumps.“Nobody wants to be in a position where we're stuck with a lot of inventory that's not moving,” said Dealer Ken Ganley.Hertz is going all-in on digital retail, launching a new e-commerce platform that lets customers browse, finance, and purchase used cars entirely online, positioning retail as its primary sales channel, according to CEO Gil West.The new HertzCarSales.com site has evolved from a catalog into a full-service e-commerce platform.The move builds on Hertz's August partnership with Amazon Autos, now covering all 45 Hertz Car Sales locations.Hertz has also expanded its Rent2Buy program to more than 100 cities, giving shoppers extended test drives before committing.A national campaign with Tom Brady debuts this week, promoting the simplicity of buying a Hertz vehicle.CEO Gil West called it “a major step forward in modernizing how we serve our customers.”OpenAI is betting AI-powered video can win the race for user attention, announcing Sora 2, a new social-media app for its AI video generator. Sora 2 lets users create HD video clips with audio from text prompts and upload themselves into AI-generated worlds.The TikTok competitor will include vertical feeds, algorithm-driven recommendations, and safeguards against endless doomscrolling.0:00 Looking back at the history of More Than Cars2:00 Intro with Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier2:30 The Big More Than Cars Launch5:33 Upcoming ASOTU Edge Webinar with Uber For Business6:22 How Dealers and OEMs are Responding To The End of the EV Tax Credit10:01 Hertz Goes All In On Digital Car Sales12:Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

What if the secret to confidence, peak performance, and even happiness wasn't about being perfect all the time—but learning how to access a powerful brainwave state on demand? In this conversation, I sit down with Dr. Izzy Justice—neuroscientist, performance coach, and author of Your Brain Swings Every Club—to explore the science of brainwaves, trauma, and what he calls “Chasing 10 Hertz.” You'll hear how endurance events, emotional relativity, and even micro-traumas shape confidence, how to intentionally “spike down” into presence, and why your brain's electricity is the language of the human experience. Dr. Justice breaks down how confidence and pessimism are simply access issues, why sensory input is the key to flow, and how to simplify your pursuit of peak performance in golf, business, and life. In this episode, you'll learn: Why doing hard things expands your benchmark for confidence and resilience How trauma—both big and micro—acts as the ultimate backdrop for your decisions The neuroscience behind brainwave states and their impact on performance What makes the 10 Hertz state so powerful and how to access it How to “spike down” when stress or distraction takes over Why happiness is really about amplifying sensory input A practical way to simplify performance by only being “perfect” twice a day Get your pencils ready and start listening.  P.S.

Trauma is the ultimate benchmark—it shapes risk perception more than success does. Electricity is the brain's language—high spikes drown sensory input and sabotage performance. 10 Hertz is the sweet spot—it amplifies sensory input and unlocks stored knowledge. Presence = sensory amplification—seeing, feeling, hearing more deeply in the moment. Flow isn't magic—it's measurable through brainwaves, heart rate, and oxygen levels. Be “perfect” twice a day—reserve your energy for the two most important moments instead of chasing constant perfection. Key Quotes: “Confidence and pessimism aren't traits—they're both access issues.” “We don't have to be perfect all the time—just perfect in the moments that matter.” “Electricity is the language of the brain—and therefore the human experience.” “Your trauma is your hostage, but you can use it as fuel instead of shackles.” “At 10 Hertz, sensory input is amplified and your best self shows up.” “Happiness isn't about possessions—it's about amplifying what you feel, see, and hear.” “The best experiences of our lives always happen in the same state—why keep it a secret?” Time Stamps: 00:00: The Allure of Ultra-Endurance Events 02:34: Emotional Relativity and Personal Growth 05:45: The Role of Trauma in Personal Development 08:32: Happiness and the Pursuit of Meaning 11:25: Amplifying Sensory Input for Fulfillment 14:15: Understanding Brainwave States and Performance 27:12: Understanding Trauma and Its Impact on Performance 28:49: The Power of 10 Hertz in Enhancing Sensory Input 31:39: Cognitive Functionality and Accessing Memory 37:41: Flow State: The Intersection of Performance and Presence 40:38: Perception of Time: How We Experience Moments 47:26: The Role of Substances in Achieving 10 Hertz 51:47: Actionable Takeaways for Achieving Peak Performance

On today's episode of The Ultimate Assist, John Stockton and Ken Ruettgers welcome Dr. Danice Hertz, a gastroenterologist with over 40 years of medical practice, whose life was upended after taking the Covid-19 vaccine in December 2020. What began as blurred vision and facial burning within minutes spiraled into years of debilitating symptoms that left her abandoned by colleagues, gaslit by the system, and written off as a psychiatric case.In this explosive conversation, Dr. Hertz recounts how she went from a respected physician to a leading voice for the vaccine-injured—connecting with thousands worldwide, engaging directly with the NIH, and then watching support vanish under what she believes was pressure “from above.” She exposes the failure of informed consent, the silencing of injured patients, and the false narrative that serious vaccine injuries are “rare.”From the formation of React19 to the discovery that spike protein may persist in the body for years, Hertz shares why she now believes America's medical establishment has betrayed its duty, why many injured patients have lost hope—or even their lives—and what must be done to restore truth, accountability, and real science.

Avis found a loophole for selling used cars at whatever price he wanted. This became the norm for all rental companies. Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector, and storyteller. I'm Stephen's sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today's episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it's us, but we're highlighting ads we've written and produced for our clients. So here's one of those. [ECO Office Ad] Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast, Dave Young, here alongside Stephen Semple. And again, breaking from tradition, if you listen to the episode just before this, which is the Hertz Rental Car, you realize that we have a spoiler. Stephen told me the topic of this podcast, gosh, a whole podcast ago. Stephen Semple: That's it. Dave Young: We talked about Hertz Rental cars, and now we're going to tell the story of Avis, number two, but they try harder. Stephen Semple: If you haven't listened to Hertz, I recommend go back and listen to it because these two stories kind of tie together. And it is interesting. We think about Avis as number two. They're not number two any longer. They're now number three. It's now Enterprise, Hertz, Avis. But that's a whole different thing. Avis is still... Look, it's a massive business. They have 5,500 locations. They do 5 billion in sales. They're a big deal. And they were founded by Warren Avis in Detroit in 1946. So just shortly after the end of World War II. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: So the war's over. Troops are returning home. Cars are now being produced for the domestic market. Because, if you remember, one of the things we talked about in the last episode was you could not sell a car domestically. All car production was going into the war effort. We've got people returning home. Roads are being built. The suburbs are the place to be. Cars are now being produced for the domestic market, and sales are exploding for cars. It's going crazy. And so Warren decides to open a Ford dealership. He sinks 10 grand of his own money in. He gets a $75,000 loan. But there's one problem with being a new car dealer at this time. The federal government puts a cap on what you can charge for a car. So there's price controls on cars. So it's actually hard to make a living selling new cars because the margin is really thin, even though lots of people want to buy it. Dave Young: If you're renting cars, you're selling them over and over and over almost. Stephen Semple: Well, you're really close. Warren finds a loophole that you can hold onto a car for six months, and then sell it as a used car, no restriction. So this is what he starts doing. However, this creates an expensive inventory problem. So it's hard to do and hard to grow because he's holding onto the cars for six months. Around this time, Warren Avis rents a car from Hertz. Now, if you remember in the Hertz episode, while Hertz did amazingly well during the war because you couldn't get a car and they had cars for rent, at the same time they couldn't replace their cars. So the cars by this time were pretty rough. Dave Young: Yeah. Oh, I bet. I mean, usually rental cars now, you don't have to have very many miles on them to have them be a little rough. Stephen Semple: And Hertz was also in what was now becoming poor locations because Hertz had located in downtown locations, and now people are moving out to the suburbs. So it was out of the way, kind of a crappy car. So Avis decides to take his new cars that he has on the lot, rent them, and then sell them as used at the six-month mark, which means he would always have new cars for rent. Dave Young: Yeah, this is the business model they're all in now. Stephen Semple: Yes.

Summer has come to an end and Kelly is ready for football season! She is fully committing to being a Detroit Lions fan. But is she actually excited to watch the game or just excited to watch the commercials? Since summer is over, Kelly has a list of what she learned this year that she is taking into next year including kids camps, America clothing and hay season.  The micro-hobbies are continuing as Kelly is now obsessed with buying banners to celebrate holidays and major family events. This is her first item in Last Three Transactions this week along with Labor Day sales from the Tea Collection and a birthday present for Sloan. Meanwhile, Lizz has been stocking up on Burt's Bee jammies, consignment shop finds and Paw Patrol toys from Facebook Marketplace.  There's some juicy news in Industry News this week. First, the federal tax credit for electric vehicles is about to end. Kelly has details on the exact date it ends and how you may be able to still be eligible if the car you want isn't ready yet. Then, Hertz and Amazon are teaming up to sell used rental cars through the app. They'll break down exactly what that means and why this might not be the best idea.  Finally, in Ditch the Drive-Thru Kelly and Lizz somehow managed to bring the same recipe without realizing it and it's a family staple you can easily make your family tonight! 

Walter Jacobs was an automotive geek. From the assembly line to owning a Ford dealership to Rental Car King. Walter built and Empire. Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast. Teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Stephen Simple is a marketing consultant, story collector, and storyteller. I'm Stephen's sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today's episode, a word from our sponsor, which is ... Well, it's us. But we're highlighting ads we've written and produced for our clients, so here's one of those. [Travis Crawford Ad] Dave Young: Welcome back to the Empire Builders Podcast. Dave Young here alongside Stephen Semple, and we're talking about empires. We're talking about big businesses that started out as usually smaller businesses. None of them ever start big, Stephen, when are we going to talk about businesses that just started huge? Stephen Semple: I don't know that they're as interesting, Dave Young: But today we're talking about Hertz Rental Car. Stephen Semple: Yes. Hertz Rental Car. Dave Young: And in my mind, they've always been the big one. They're the big guy. They're the top dog. Stephen Semple: Well, actually in the market today they're number two. Enterprise is the largest one, and they're number two, and then Avis is number three. Dave Young: But the Enterprise combined ... They conglomerated a bunch of them, right? Stephen Semple: Yeah. And there's even a few that are under Hertz as well these days. None of them are just one banner anymore. Dave Young: Yeah. Everything's becoming one brand. Stephen Semple: They're big. They do over nine billion in revenues in 160 countries, and they're part of the S&P 600. So they're a big deal. Dave Young: They've been big for a while. Stephen Semple: They've been big for a long time. Dave Young: I remember when Avis started, this was back in the Mad Men era. The big idea, the big advertising slogan for Avis was, "We're number two, but we try harder." So at that point, Hertz was number one. Stephen Semple: Yeah. We'll find out as we go into the story, Hertz was the first national brand as well. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: So they really, and in many ways, kind of created the car rental business as we know it today. Dave Young: Awesome. Stephen Semple: They were founded by Walter Jacobs in 1918 in Chicago. And as I was saying, today they do like nine billion in revenue. So it's 1918 in Chicago, and the Model T Ford has been out for 10 years. There's about six million cars on the road, which is about 60 cars per 1000 people in the United States at that time. So they're pretty new, but you'll see a car. They're not foreign, but they're not new. It's kind of at that stage where you'll see them. Dave Young: Sure. Stephen Semple: So now back to Walter Jacobs. Walter's this real car junkie, and he had started out actually working on an assembly line, and now he owns a Ford car dealership. He really sees cars as the future. And when he opens the dealership, he has some sales success, but he runs into a problem. Lots of people are coming in to test drive a car, but they really still see them as a novelty. So if you think about it, there's no driver's license. Vehicles are standard, they're not automatic. And he would take people out for this test drive and it's kind of exciting, and it's a thrill, but what he's finding is that people are coming to do these test drives for the thrill. They're not really buying, to the stage where people come back and offer him money to take the test drive. Dave Young: Do another test drive. Stephen Semple: It was almost like an amusement ride for them. So lots of people want to drive, they don't want to buy it. And Walter looks at it and goes, well, people like the idea of a car.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1126: Today we're joined by Steve Greenfield and talking about Hertz vehicles showing up on Amazon, VinFast's new San Diego dealership kicking off a coast-to-coast franchise push, and how AI is helping Atlas become a surprisingly capable humanoid robot.Hertz has partnered with Amazon to list its used vehicles on the retail giant's platform, giving customers a new way to shop for former rentals online. The move builds on the roughly one-third of Hertz's vehicle sales that already go directly to consumers.Shoppers can now browse and buy Hertz vehicles on Amazon, then pick them up in Dallas, Houston, L.A., or Seattle—with plans to expand to 45 U.S. locations.Retail sales, add $1,000–$1,500 in value per vehicle for Hertz compared to wholesale channels.Hertz is also expanding its “try before you buy” program to 100 cities and enhancing digital sales through platforms like Carvana and Autotrader.“It is really important as well that we get more net out of what we're selling,” said Hertz CEO Gil West.VinFast's U.S. dealership network is taking shape with the grand opening of its first California franchise location in San Diego.The new store, operated by Sunroad Automotive Group, offers sales, service, and test drives of the VF 8 and VF 9 electric SUVs.The automaker plans to replace all 15 of its former company-owned California stores and now operates nearly 30 authorized dealerships across 14 states, with the company “recognizing the distinct advantages of this distribution channel” to maximize business efficiency.California remains a key focus for the brand, which calls the state a “top priority” for EV growth.The new location includes full support for warranty, repair, and maintenance using genuine VinFast parts.“This event marks a pivotal moment in our strategy,” said Mike Nolte, VinFast's U.S. VP of Sales and Marketing.Boston Dynamics and Toyota Research Institute are working to make humanoid robots useful in real life by teaching them complex, adaptable behaviors through massive AI models.Many of us are familiar with Boston Dynamics, but Toyota Research Institute (TRI), a Toyota subsidiary, focuses on human-centered AI innovations in automated driving, energy, and materials to improve the human condition.The Atlas robot is being trained with Large Behavior Models (LBMs) to handle complex, long tasks using proprioception (a robot's internal sense of position and movement), vision, and language prompts.These AI-driven policies allow Atlas to walk, crouch, grasp, and manipulate objects with surprising dexterity—even reacting intelligently when things go wrong.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

S&P Futures are trading lower this morning as tech shares remain weak. Yesterday we saw a rotation out of tech and into cyclical and value-oriented stocks. In the pre-market EL, TGT & LZB are lower after earnings releases, FUTU and Keys are higher. This afternoon the Fed will be releasing the meeting minutes from July Fed meeting and traders will be closely examining the minutes to see if any FOMC members, beyond Governor Bowman and Governor Waller, indicated support for a potential rate cut in upcoming meetings. Hertz announced that it will sell used vehicle online through Amazon. Tomorrow morning earnings results are due out from WMT, BILI & YMM.

Adam also reflects on the passing of actor Michael Madsen, sharing a story from when he appeared on the show, and recounts a recent conversation that perfectly captures his personality. Later, they react to a baffling speech from Gavin Newsom filled with trademark political word salad.In the news with Jason “Mayhem” Miller, reports reveal that Amazon now employs more robots than humans, while Hertz faces backlash for its AI damage scanners charging customers for tiny scuffs. Plus, a man is convicted for impersonating a flight attendant to score over 120 free flights, and new research shows a single dose of psilocybin—aka magic mushrooms—can provide up to five years of depression relief.Get it on.FOR MORE WITH ERICA RHODESINSTAGRAM & TWITTER: @ericarhodesWEBSITE: www.ericarhodescomedy.comFOR MORE WITH JASON “MAYHEM” MILLER: INSTAGRAM & TWITTER: @mayhemmillerWEBSITE: www.mayhemnow.com Thank you for supporting our sponsors:BetOnlineBetterHelp.com/CAROLLAListen to Cocaine Air wherever you get your podcastsHomes.comoreillyauto.com/ADAMPluto.tvsimplisafe.com/ADAMLIVE SHOWS: July 10 - Irvine, CA (Live Podcast)July 11-12 - Covina, CA (4 shows)July 16 - Rosemont, ILJuly 17 - Plymouth, WISee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
