The group jokes about aliens, mental shielding, and Guy's emergency hat deployment skills before shifting into the week's Apple news. They begin with VisionOS 26.2 Beta, noting incremental improvements such as fixes for stylus pressure, stability updates, and lingering bugs in AirDrop visibility, SharePlay DRM playback, and subscription syncing. The panel agrees the update feels like a tightening pass while everyone waits for the next major feature drop. Apple's newest immersive video, "Flight Ready," filmed with Navy F-18s, sparks lively discussion. The group praises the cinematic quality—especially nighttime carrier deck landings and aerial shots—but several mention Apple's signature issue with immersive content: the feeling that "people are way too close to your face." The panel also highlights the increasing amount of third-party immersive Vision Pro content, including music videos, training simulations, and niche experiences created in tools like DaVinci Resolve, signaling that spatial content creation is slowly becoming more accessible. Eric shares his in-store test of the Vision Pro M5, where he focused on widgets, Safari multitasking, virtual displays, and system responsiveness. He intentionally pushed the device hard to see if it stutters—and it didn't. Dave walks through updates in iOS/iPadOS/watchOS/tvOS 26.2 betas, pointing out UI refinements such as expanded Liquid Glass styling, an improved Alarm interface, app sorting options in Game Library, and message-pinning in CarPlay. CarPlay itself becomes a heated topic—Dave explains how answering a call sometimes instantly hangs up afterward. Marty expresses frustration over automotive UI "reactions" in group chats while driving. The general consensus: CarPlay is great… except when it isn't. The group digs into macOS 26.2 (Tahoe) with mixed reactions. While some see improvements, Jeff notes memory issues and audio stack quirks still need addressing. 1Password's new behavior—unlocking automatically after system login—splits the panel. Some appreciate fewer prompts, while others insist on strict manual unlocking for security. A retrospective on five years of Apple's M-series chips follows. Marty mentions real-world benefits moving from M4 to M5, Jeff feels his M2 Pro is still strong, Dave says his M4 Pro Mac mini is now his main machine, and Guy jokes that old Intel Macs were basically "space heaters with keyboards."

Tucker Carlson recently did an expose on Thomas Matthew Crooks, the man who got within a fraction of an inch of assassinating President Donald Trump. Biden's FBI claimed he was a MAGA extremist right-winger with a questionable online digital footprint. However, Tucker questions a lot of the notions you've been fed regarding this would-be assassin. Did Biden's FBI lie about Crooks? Glenn asks the questions that need answers regarding the investigation into Trump's would-be assassin. Glenn discusses his most recent podcast with author Timothy Alberino.

Mic, Brian, and Jeff discuss the likely coming digital national ID, whether (and how) it might be a problem for even the law-abiding citizen. Brian shares some salient audio clips. To monitor 340 million people via their digital ID requires heavy use of algorithms. Those are prone to flag innocent people — some by mistake but more by design. "Safer" to flag many innocent people than let one bad guy get away.

What if equity could move as fast as code? Most founders spend thousands on lawyers, cap table management, and outdated infrastructure just to raise money and distribute equity. Joris Delanoue thinks that's ridiculous. As co-founder and CEO of Fairmint, he's building the rails to move private equity onto the blockchain, turning cap tables into smart contracts and making ownership as easy to transfer as sending an email. In this episode of Rising Tide Startups, Joris shares his journey from being a serial entrepreneur in France to a blockchain pioneer in Silicon Valley. After selling multiple companies and experiencing the pain of locked-up investments and cap tables that were impossible to manage, he moved to the US with one goal: to fix capitalism. What started as an idea for a startup exchange using SPVs evolved into Fairmint, a platform that's already moved over $1 billion in equity onto the blockchain. Joris breaks down why blockchain is the superior technology for securities, how Fairmint is deintermediating traditional finance without sacrificing compliance, and why privacy features like zero-knowledge proofs are unlocking trillions of dollars in institutional capital. He also discusses the shift from infrastructure as CapEx to OpEx, and how transfer agents are suddenly the most sought-after role in finance. Additionally, he shares his belief that entrepreneurship changes the world faster than politics ever will. Key Takeaways: Blockchain is a superior infrastructure for equity. Just like cloud computing replaced private servers, blockchain will replace traditional financial rails because it's faster, cheaper, and more efficient. Cap tables should be smart contracts. Moving equity onto the blockchain eliminates intermediaries, reduces costs, and makes ownership programmable and liquid. Compliance is a feature, not a bug. Being an SEC-registered transfer agent means investors don't lose their assets if they lose their private keys. You can always recover securities with proper ID. Infrastructure can become a profit center. With the right tokenomics, what used to be operational expenses can now generate revenue instead of costing money. Equity should be accessible to everyone. Employees, contractors, partners, and community members who contribute value should be able to participate in the financial upside. Entrepreneurship beats politics. As a founder, you can impact billions of people through what you build, the values you embed, and the vision you execute.

Join this episode of Right On Radio for a fast-paced mix of news clips, scripture, and commentary. The show opens with the listener game Word on Word (1 Peter 3:18 vs. Isaiah 25:1) and quickly moves into a series of thought-provoking audio segments and host reflections. Topics and guests include a featured Greg Reese report arguing that COVID lockdowns served as a beta test for digital ID deployment — exploring biometrics, QR codes, Clearview AI, DMV photo resale, and how private-sector mandates and consent prompts normalize mass data collection. The host expands on that theme with his own concerns about border controls, facial-recognition cameras, cloud storage, and the erosion of individual freedom. The episode also plays a clip of Donald Trump outlining a proposal to redirect insurance subsidies directly to people and debates whether that move ended the shutdown — with analysis of insurance incentives, marketplace responses, and political maneuvering. A short excerpt from Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney (referenced commentary) frames the current geopolitical shift as a “hinge moment” comparable to the fall of the Berlin Wall. Religion and culture are front and center: short, provocative clips question the origins and institutionalization of the church, argue that denominations can become instruments of control, and raise concerns about infiltration and abuse in some large church networks. The host responds to recent controversies — including Kash Patel's media appearances, Candace Owens' reporting on Calvary churches, past Epstein coverage, and whistleblower claims tied to missionary work — and urges listeners to scrutinize ministries and giving. Balancing the heavier material are human-interest moments and spiritual encouragement: a moving twin-baby allegory about life after delivery, an invitation to Saturday night prayer and Sunday Bible study, and practical resources from rightonyou.com (including a short course on decoding cultural and spiritual influences). The show closes with a comedic Adam Carolla clip renaming ICE to “NICE” and a final call to love God, family, and neighbor. Expect a provocative, opinionated hour that blends political analysis, privacy warnings, spiritual critique, and pastoral encouragement — clips from Greg Reese, Donald Trump, Adam Carolla, and references to commentators such as Kash Patel and Candace Owens — plus calls to prayer, Bible study, and ways to learn more.

Original Episode Transcript Follows:Stephanie Hansen:Hello, everybody, and welcome to Dishing with Stephanie's Dish, the podcast where we talk to people in the food space, a lot of cookbook authors, manufacturers, and people who are doing cool things with food. And Ashley Russell came across my desk, and she has a cookbook that's called “What's Cooking Good Looking”. And I was first of all, captured by the illustrations in the book you are working on or have. They were very. How do I describe them? They were like tattoos. They were adorable, and they are original art by @sadpuppytattoo. When Ashley describes the banana bread of her grandmas, she was generous enough to share the recipe here.Ashley Russell:Yeah.Stephanie Hansen:Tell me about the book and how you decided to illustrate it the way you did. And then I wanted to talk to you specifically about self publishing a book, because I think a lot of people think about it, but they're not sure how to do it. So I just wanted to get your feedback.Ashley Russell:Totally. So I started this book inspired by my grandma. She passed away in 2024, summer of 2024. And it was almost immediate, was like, we have to have all the family has to have our recipes. And so she had a really cute little vintage recipe card box, and the whole process just sort of unfolded over the past year and a half. It is definitely a lot of Southern cooking. She's from Texas, but lived the past 30 years up in northern Washington. And her and my mom and her siblings lived all over the country.So there's just a little bit of everything in there from, like, recipes she got from neighbors or things that she learned from different parts of the country. So it's a really fun, like, eclectic mix of American cooking. And it's just so much her. Like, there's sugar and everything, and it's just. I'm so happy to have all of the family favorites in one place. Yeah.Stephanie Hansen:Did you work with members of the family, or was it primarily. Did it fall on you to compile everything?Ashley Russell:I definitely compiled everything, but my family was there every step of the way. Like, my grandma wrote in cursive, and I couldn't always read it.Stephanie Hansen:A lot of our grandmas wrote in cursive, and it is hard to read.Ashley Russell:It's so hard to read. And so we started this text group, and I would be like, does anyone know what this says? And then also things like vegetable oil or sweet milk or, you know, polio olio. Exactly. What is that?Stephanie Hansen:It's shortening. But, I mean, nobody knew.Ashley Russell:Nobody knew. And so it was a lot of just, like, you know, there were puzzles to it, and it was funny, and it brought us together and it kept us talking about her. And then, in addition to the community that I reached out to here in Portland, all My family members helped recipe test because it's like they remembered how it was supposed to taste. So it was almost like, you know, I think that this is missing this because she didn't write everything down. Like, a lot of things lived in her head.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah. Did you ever done this before or anything like this? Do you. What's your background?Ashley Russell:No. So I worked for a decade in costume design. I worked on a lot of small budget indie film and tv. And so I think I'm used to like, okay, we have this big hurdle of a project ahead. But I've never, I've never written a book. I've never written a cookbook. And the whole process was such a journey, but it, it was all so much fun, I think, because I was like learning and uncovering things about my family along the way. Yeah.Ashley Russell:So.Stephanie Hansen:Well, the creative process too, I think, is. Know you talk about being a costume designer. I didn't really think about writing a cookbook or recipes or being a recipe developer as a creative endeavor until I kind of started doing it more. And then I was like, oh, yeah, this does require creativity. And this is where that, where I scratch that itch.Ashley Russell:Yes, totally. I agree with that. It is super creative. And I never realized that either. I have a few cookbooks, but in this process, it made me realize, like, what little magical creative books they are and how much, you know, there's people's dreams and they nourish us and they're little windows into different parts of history and people's lives and they're just pretty cool. Yeah.Stephanie Hansen:And people talk about like, I'm, I'm in the process of. I just released a book in September, so I'm out at bookstores and grocery stores and selling the book everywhere. And a lot of people are like, oh, you know, nobody really needs cookbooks anymore. And I was like, well, actually, you can always look up a recipe on the Internet that's there, but the narrative, the piece of how that fits into their life, the memory that that recipe brings or that combination of spices that transports you to a place that is what is unique about a cookbook. It's. It's so much more than just the recipe. And if you're not jazzed by any of that, then, yeah, it's probably not for you.Ashley Russell:Totally. Yes. Like, you have to be inspired by it. Right. And like, I don't know, I get pretty annoyed with recipes online. There's a ton of pop ups and your phone, you know, has the auto timer and it has to face ID every two minutes. I. It's just when you have it in a cookbook, it's almost like the record version of like a Spotify song.I don't know, like, you sure? Yeah, yeah.Stephanie Hansen:Like, and you can get a song but you don't have it in the context of all the songs in the record and that the artist had. Yeah, it's very similar, actually.Ashley Russell:Totally. And like, people love listening to records and collecting records and I really just think it's, it's, it's a similar. Comes from a similar place.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah. Okay. So your book, what's Cooking Good Looking? It is a spiral bound, which I thought was an interesting choice that I want to ask you about. And it's also got these illustrations. Did you illustrate it or did someone else? They're real cute. They're like tattooed inspired and they're kind of jazzy and it kind of. It had like a hipster core vibe to it.Ashley Russell:Yes. So my boyfriend's brother's sister, so more or less my sister in law. I've known her for six years now. She's a tattoo artist and she does a lot of florals and she did like a food flash at one point. And I've always loved her art. And when I was first starting the book, I was in Canva and I was like, oh, clip art's cute. And I was like, you know, I don't know if I would ever release a book with clip art in it, you know, And I wasn't sold on doing photography. I knew how specific and it had to be.Ashley Russell:Like, people have nailed food photography. If I was going to do it, I wanted to make sure it rocked. And so I asked her one day, I was like, would you want to illustrate this book? And she was like, oh my God, yes. And her tattoos are in black and white already. So it kind of, it transferred pretty easily into print form. And so I was able to use all of her tattoo library, like things she had already drawn. And then she drew things specifically for the book as well. And I just think it looks awesome.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah, it really does. It's real sweet. And what about the choice of spiral bound? And can you talk, can you make that be the introduction of talking about like how you decided to self publish and did you go out and try to find agents or did you go right to self publishing?Ashley Russell:Sure. So I in the past couple years have been really inspired by Rizzo prints and graphic novels and a lot of small press publishing and super inspired by vintage cookbooks. And a lot of them are spiral bound or they're notebook bound. And it's. It's kind of like, it gives it this retro feel, and it's kind of an homage to all of, like, the women's groups and church groups that did cookbooks over the decades. But I also think it's super functional in the kitchen. And I had a graphic design friend mention to me that she loves when a spiral bound is a color that totally offsets the book. So my book is, like, very black and white and yellow, and then it has this bright red spiral binding.And I just think it makes it pop. Like, it's. It's fun and practical. So as far as self publishing. So when I started this, it was really just a project for my family. It was really just, you know, I wanted them to have all the recipes. I. I wasn't even sure if I was going to print it.And as the process unfolded more, I realized more and more that I wanted to make this a book. And I wanted to put my heart in this book. And I wanted to share who Wanda and our family is with the world. And it really was just like a flower slowly blooming. Like, every week would be like, oh, I have to put the ingredients in the order of the method. Oh, you have to do this. Oh, people like, you know, like, you want everything in a recipe on one page. You don't want to have to, like, go back and forth.And it became this really fun project puzzle for me to be like, maybe I can create a cookbook. And so I didn't reach out to agents or anything, because I think the main important part was for this book to be about my grandma and come from me. And I was worried that having an agent or a publisher might dilute that a little bit.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah, they'd have feedback or input or change things. Sure.Ashley Russell:Yeah. So I was able to work with a lot of friends, family, and get a lot of feedback throughout the entire process. I hired an editor, and so there was that constructive criticism, but I didn't feel like the voice or the vision was changing for profit, per se. And so self publishing is what I stuck with. And I think that in order for me to print this book the way I wanted to and for it to look the way it does, I don't know if I could have convinced a publisher to get on board with that.Stephanie Hansen:So then you make that decision and you've got your book assembled or your PDF pages, essentially. Did you tell me about, like, did you go out and just Google, like, how to self publish? Did you figure out, like, how to print on Demand was there color considerations. Kind of walk me through that process a little bit.Ashley Russell:Sure. So I did start looking up print on demand and I started Googling, you know, how to write a cookbook. I listened to Maggie Green's podcast Cookbook Love, like, religiously. I got books on the subject, and I really just created, like, it was my own research project. And I was learning as I went. What turned me away from doing, like, on demand printing or online publishing was that I really wanted it to be spiral bound. I knew that from the beginning almost. And I really wanted to do a mixture of Rizzo printing.Ashley Russell:And I wanted the paper. I just wanted everything to be really high quality and feel like her note cards, feel like her recipe cards. And I didn't think I would get that with online printing. So I went and talked with a few print shops here in Portland, Oregon, and Brown Printing, like, got the project right away. And I've been working with them for the past several months to get it printed.Stephanie Hansen:Have you. Have you printed, like, X amount and you're kind of selling stock as you go?Ashley Russell:Yeah, So I, you know, budget has been a concern throughout this whole process. Like, anyone who's made a cookbook knows it gets very expensive between recipe testing. And I did end up doing photography. I did it myself. All of those things really add up. And so I did an initial print run of 300, which is almost gone at this point. I just picked it up in the beginning of the month. And Brown's doing another run of.Ashley Russell:Of, 300 for the 1st of December so I can have more for the holidays.Stephanie Hansen:And then do you package them up and ship them when people make an order? Can you talk a little bit about that? Because people don't think about that. But you have to buy, like, special envelopes. You have to go to the post office. There is a category for media mail that makes it a little cheaper, but it's still. It's a process.Ashley Russell:It is a process. Like, every bit of this has been such a process. And so, yeah, my. My limit, I had about 180 orders to ship out when I got all the books from recipe testers. Order, pre-orders, family, you know, you name it. And our whole. Our whole living room and kitchen was just, like, stacked with boxes and you.Stephanie Hansen:And they're bigger than you think.Ashley Russell:Like, they're bigger than you think and they're heavy.Stephanie Hansen:Yes. And a box of like, 15 books is, like, a big box. And they're everywhere.Ashley Russell:They're everywhere. Yeah. So, you know, it's kind of like if you're an Etsy shop owner, you know, kind of our pain, I guess. But, you know, you're doing. You're the manual labor and you're the author and you're the publisher, you know, so you're doing everything. And I lugged them all down to the UPS and USPS and shipped them off. Yeah.Stephanie Hansen:Where do you go from here with it? Like, you gotta sell through your next 300, obviously. Did this, like, create a pathway for you, or is this where you'll end this journey and just one and done. And it was great.Ashley Russell:Yeah. So when I first started, I had over 300 recipes from the family. And I reached out to my first editor contact and they were like, whoa, that's a lot of recipes. They're like, books are usually like 75 to 150. And I was like, oh. And like now seeing this printed and it's 260 pages, like, I get it. But at the time, I was like, I just wanted to have everything. And so I have at least one other book of Wanda's on the horizon.But for now, I'm really just trying to put myself in. What if I had a publisher? What if I had an agent? What would they be doing? So it's a lot. Yeah, it's a lot of reaching out to retail stores, seeing if I can get an interview on a podcast, trying to put my book out there in ways that I know of and seeing where it lands. I have. There's about seven stores in Portland that are carrying the book right now, and they're all stores I really love. And that's super exciting.Stephanie Hansen:They carry it on consignment or do you sell them to them outright?Ashley Russell:It depends. So a couple are wholesale and a couple are consignment. Wholesale obviously works better for us, but I'm just happy to have the book out there. I think it's a good time of year. You know, she made all these dishes for Thanksgiving and. And Christmas, so it's the. It's the time to have it in your kitchen.Stephanie Hansen:Do you. Can you talk about, like, how much you make per book?Ashley Russell:Sure. So if I'm talking just printing costs to do the 300 with the brown printing and the riso printing I did by hand at outlet PDX, we're looking at about $20 a book. And I have the book priced at 38. So because I'm not splitting this with any publisher or agent, that means technically $20 profit goes back into my pocket. But at this point, we're still paying off all the production costs, and it also doesn't include that dollar amount. Doesn't include, like, my labor. So when you really figure it out, it's probably. Or food.When you really figure out the numbers. This first round probably cost me about $50 a book to make, you know, and then the hope is, over the years, if continuing to sell copies here and there, you break even, or maybe you make a few dollars.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah, it's. It is kind of like that. As you get, like, past Wanda's story, do you see this being a journey you'll stay on, or is it really just. I'm curious if it ignited something in you because you seem like a creative person.Ashley Russell:Yeah. Like, I've always wanted to be a writer, and it's been pretty daunting. My grandma always encouraged me to be a writer. This feels like that first step. I also like the idea. I've heard a cookbook is, like, the best business card, you know, And I think that's, like, a great way to look at it, too. It's something that I've made that I can say, you know, I wrote this, I've made this. I'd like to do this project.Stephanie Hansen:And fascinating, because that is for. For me personally, I wanted to have agency in the cooking space, and I wasn't. And I wasn't a writer, so I was like, how am I going to get that? I wanted to have a television show. I wanted to do more podcasting, specifically about food. I had a radio show about food, but I needed to have more autonomy, and that's how I started.Ashley Russell:Totally. That makes sense. Did you. Do you feel like that helped achieve some of the dreams you had?Stephanie Hansen:Oh, for sure. I have a TV show now, and I wouldn't have had the TV show if I hadn't have written the cookbook, I don't think.Ashley Russell:Yeah.Stephanie Hansen:Because even though I'm a home chef or a home cook and not a chef at all, actually having the book gives you some credibility of why this person's gonna invest in you and put you on television station. 88 markets. I don't think they would have done that if I wouldn't have had the book.Ashley Russell:Totally. And honestly, like, I think being a home chef, you almost write a better cookbook because you can anticipate what other home chefs are going to be confused by or what they need written down.Stephanie Hansen:Well. And a lot of the best chefs, who I have much admiration and respect for, their books are really challenging or technical and. And that's great. Like, maybe that's who they're writing them for. But some of my favorite chefs, I get their books and I keep them because I love the photography and I just admire so much of the skills and what they bring to the party. But very few of them I actually ever cooked out of.Ashley Russell:Yeah, they're like these beautiful aspirations.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah, they're aspirational books, for sure.Ashley Russell:Yeah.Stephanie Hansen:Can you talk a little bit about Wanda? Just your grandma? Like, you just have a real spirit about you that must come from her. And I'm just curious why she was so meaningful to you outside of just being your grandma.Ashley Russell:Yeah, totally. So I was raised by my mom. It was just me and my mom and I would spend a lot of time with my grandparents. I think when you're set up in that sort of one parent system, I was either going with my mom everywhere or I was spending summers at my grandparents, and those summers at my grandparents. I, I feel like as an adult, I'm sort of chasing that feeling, you know, of, of being, you know.Stephanie Hansen:Really? Yeah. Oh, that's so touching.Ashley Russell:Yeah. I mean, it's true. Whether it's cooking in the kitchen or laughing with my grandpa. You know, my grandma taught me how to sew, and later on in life, I worked in costumes and I used to bake with her, and now I'm making this cookbook. She meant a lot to me. And I know, I know both of them meant so much to our whole family that I don't want, I don't want us to lose that, and I don't want anyone that comes next in our family to not know about it.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah. Yeah. What a beautiful sentiment. I, I just the I, the what you said, just, I've been chasing that feeling is really. I wrote my book for very similar reasons. You know, my mom had died early of breast cancer, and I wanted to document family recipes. Yeah, just the way you said that was really beautiful, so. Oh, that's so nice.Ashley Russell:I, I, whether or not we're aware of it, that we're, we're kind of doing that right. You know, where's your happy place? What makes you, what brings you happiness? And those memories really do as, as I'm sure other memories for other people do for them.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah. All right. Well, I have loved hearing your story. I knew right away when the book came across my desk and you reached out to me directly, I was like, oh, yeah, I do want to talk to her. I want to figure out, like, what inspired her to take this on. Because it is a labor of love, you. Even if, I mean, I don't I've not read a statistic, but like most cookbooks and most cookbook authors are not getting rich by writing cookbooks. They're using it to parlayed into other things.So it's usually not actually a money making endeavor. It's more a creative process and something that you do as a labor of love. And I think a lot of people that love cookbooks may be listening, you know, have wanted to do this. So I wanted to like, really document, like, how did you do it and what did you think about and how did you decide to put it together? When you put your list of recipes together, was it obvious what was going to make it?Ashley Russell:Yeah, you know, it started with what are the family favorites? What, what do we have to have? And then it was with, you know, what turned out really well in recipe testing. And from there, like, you know, the, the, the baking section's over half the book. Yeah. And then it was sort of trying to round out the other sections of the book. Yeah. And they were recipes that could stand the test of time and that people would still want to make and also that my, my grandma would enjoy another favorites. Oh, yeah. So I mean, her banana bread is like, I knew I wanted to start the book with her banana bread and end it with sweet tea.That's my grandma to the core. And then in between, you know, there's so many great home cooked meals, home cooked desserts. She had a famous chocolate pie, famous pecan pie. Her Italian cream cake is to die for. It's like a coconut cake. Um, my aunt Angie, her oldest daughter, said that people used to request that she make that. So that was fun to learn and to put in the book.Stephanie Hansen:And now you know how to make all the things too, or a lot of the things.Ashley Russell:Yes. My family's like, well, I guess you're cooking for Thanksgiving now because you know all of her recipes.Stephanie Hansen:Oh, that's so great. I really enjoyed talking to you. It is Ashley Russell. The book is I wrote the what's Cooking Good Looking? Sorry. It is a really beautiful, fun, different way to approach this topic of cookbooks. And I was really. I'm impressed by what you did and I know your grandma would be, she would love it. She'd be real proud of you.And it's really nice to talk with you and share your story. I'll put a link to the book in the podcast notes and put that all together and hopefully we'll help you sell through your next 300. Ashley.Ashley Russell:Thank you, Stephanie. I really appreciate it.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah, it was great. To hear your story and to just spend time with you. Good luck.Ashley Russell:Thanks. Have a good day.Stephanie Hansen:All right.

New Zealanders are getting a new ChatGPT feature In a pilot with select countries, you'll be able to have a 'group chat' with ChatGPT. It's available on all plans, and Open AI wants feedback before it's rolled out more broadly. You can invite between 1 and 20 people to join you. Apparently ChatGPT knows when to stay quiet and when to chime in, and you can summon it if you need. Americans can now put their passport on their phone Apple has launched Digital ID in the USA, allowing anyone with a US passport to be able to load it onto their phone. At the moment, the best way to think about it is like having a verified digital copy on your phone with you. You can't use it at the border just yet, but you can use it at security checkpoints for domestic flights. Slowly State IDs are rolling out on the platform too, so it will be interesting to see if hospitality establishments allow this as a form of ID. NZ is working on digital driver's licenses, which had a goal to launch in "late 2025", but it seems they won't be done 'natively' with the Apple or Android software, but will be in a separate app. Is the iPhone "pocket" the next big fashion thing? Apple has partnered with Japanese designer Issey Miyake. The iPhone Pocket is described as a "cloth sling" for your phone that costs $150. If you want it as a cross body, that'll be $230. It looks like a sock with handles on it that then join again at the top, so there's a loop in the middle so you can thread it onto your bag. It's "3D knitted", in wildly bright colours and fits any iPhone (or, non-Apple phone). it's only available in select locations, so might be the next Labubu?

I hate carrying my wallet. Not because I'm a prickle pockets —I swear I'll always buy my round!— but because at heart, I'm an optimiser. I don't want something else to remember, a bulge in my back pocket. I want to be able to do everything with the least baggage possible. My wallet has four cards. Just four. Bank card, credit card, driver's license, and my TVNZ access card. Until two weeks ago, I needed a card to get into the Newstalk ZB offices as well, but not anymore. We've moved to a digital swipe system, an app on our phones. Very 2025. I don't carry cash. My wallet has nowhere to put it. Except for the $2.40 in change in the centre console of the family Corolla, I don't have any cash whatsoever. I barely use my physical debit and credit cards; I just pay for everything with my phone. For the best price I still need a real card for the bus, although they've recently changed the system so that in a pinch I can pay with my phone. My library card is digital. Concert tickets are digital. Auckland FC, Air New Zealand – it's all on my phone. If all goes well with the Government's rollout, in a few months we should be able to access digital driver's licenses. In the US they've now gone one step further. As of this week, American citizens with either Google or Apple phones can upload their passports to their devices and store them in digital wallets. The systems scan your passport and then read the little chip. They compare the photo page with a biometric scan of your face. You can use it as ID for domestic travel and although you still need a physical passport for international flights, surely it won't be long until your digital ID does that too. I know what you're thinking. Digital passports, bank cards, driver's licenses. Digital swipe cards for getting into the office. What could possibly go wrong?! And I agree with you! The more that our vital ID and payment systems go digital, the more vulnerable many of these systems might be to failure, power outages, coding errors, or hacking. At least for the near future, there will be traditional options. They're not scrapping plastic driver's licences just yet. But all things being equal, I reckon 2026 might be the last year of my life in which I actually need to carry a wallet. I'm going to be first in line for a digital driver's licence. A year from now, everything I need from my cards I should be able to do my phone. And while I know there are risks, I know it's a single point of failure, I know it'll be even more of a disaster if I accidentally lose my phone. Truthfully my concerns are drowned out by an even stronger impulse. Sure, there are security concerns. But man, just think of the convenience. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
//The Wire//2300Z November 12, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: FORD CARRIER STRIKE GROUP ARRIVES IN CARIBBEAN. APPLE ROLLS OUT DIGITAL ID. JOBS REPORT FOR OCTOBER NOT PUBLISHED DUE TO GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Caribbean: Overnight the USS GERALD FORD (CVN-78) arrived in the SOUTHCOM area of responsibility, and is expected to be in position to carry out operations in theatre within a couple of days.Analyst Comment: Venezuela continues wartime preparations, same as before, with various internal militia and homeland defensive efforts being publicized over the past few weeks. Most of these efforts appear to mostly be just for show, but preparations continue all around nonetheless.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. - This afternoon the White House stated that a handful of financial reports for the month of October might not be released due to the government shutdown. Press Secretary Leavitt stated that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) report and various other jobs reports might not ever be released for last month, due to federal employees not being on the job to gather the data at the time in which it was most valuable (the data needed to make the jobs reports accurate must be gathered in real time throughout the month, and not in retrospect).Analyst Comment: At a time where the White House is facing increased scrutiny, this isn't a great omen since this is extremely important financial data to consider on the general state of the economy. Economic indicators are also a data point to consider even in the world of national defense, to set conditions and expectations on the homefront before a military campaign, for instance. Now, right at the crux of major economic concerns, the data simply isn't available because federal workers stopped doing their jobs during the shutdown. The data probably does exist, but by the time it's compiled and released it will be stale, and we'll be on to the next crisis.USA: This morning Apple announced the release of a Digital ID product, intended to digitize identification documents such as American passport data. The plan involves partnering with the Transportation Security Administration to integrate Digital ID efforts into air travel around the United States.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Apple's efforts are not to create a universal new identification scheme, but rather to digitize identity documents that already exist. TSA in particular has already had their own varying levels of subscription-based identity-check procedures for a while now, so in the grand scheme of things this has been coming for a long time. Of course, any Digital ID effort requires universal acceptance to work. It is not the ability to save an ID on one's phone that is new...it's the widespread adoption in such a short period of time that is the more concerning detail. This, coupled with the note that this is set up within the Apple Wallet ecosystem, has caused even more eyebrow-raising since it's not a huge jump to speculate that this ID scheme will be linked to finances at some point.In this case, Apple announced that this plan is already streamlined to work with TSA for air travel at over 250 airports around the nation. This plan was announced about two weeks ago, so in just that time, we've gone from announcement to implementation to full integration with TSA in ways that haven't really been done before. Individual states are also partnering with Apple to integrate their Driver's Licenses into the app, and 12x states/territories have done so already. As such data security concerns have abounded...while Americans have been watching the developments of a Digital ID system being implemented in the United Kingdom, a very similar system was being worked on here at home. But because it's a private company digitizing already-existing documents, less attention has been placed o

Kedves BB PRO tagok! Úgy gondolom, hogy ez az egyik legfontosabb anyag, aminek az elkészítéséhez valaha közöm volt. Olyan ereje és súlya van a tudatalattinkban kialakult identitásnak és a benne élő hiedelmeknek a vállalkozási eredményeinkre, amivel semmilyen szaktudás vagy gyakorlati dolog nem vetekedhet. A rossz hír, hogy ezeket felismerni, hatalmas munka. A jó hír, hogy lehetséges felülírni azokat a korlátokat, amiket csak magunknak állítottunk, vagy azokat a folyamatokat, amikkel szabotáljuk magunkat. Farkas Flóra transzformatív coach segítségével hihetetlen mélységekbe jutottunk el a vállalkozói életünkre ható negatív hiedelmek, önkorlátozás formáinak megértésében, és legalább 10 féle kegyetlenül nehéz területre tudtunk megoldási alternatívákat kínálni Flórával. Ezeket a témákat érintettük: - mi az az identitás és hogy alakul ki, mi köze ennek az eredményeinkhez és a kitűzhető céljainkhoz - mik azok a hiedelmek, hogyan korlátoznak bennünket, hogyan alakulnak ki és hogy lehet felismerni a működésüket (pl. pénzre, munkára vetítve) - mi az önszabotálás folyamata, és egyáltalán, miért gáncsoljuk el magunkat, ha elvileg tisztán látjuk, hogy a mi a célunk és milyen út vezet hozzá - hogy működik a halogatás és hogyan kaszáljuk el általa tudattalanul a céljaink elérését - hogyan hat a hibázástól való félelem arra, hogy mibe merünk belekezdeni és hogy milyen korlátaink vannak az életben - a komfortzóna tágítható-e, ha felismerjük, hogy újra és újra elérjük ennek a határát, de ez nem elég ahhoz, hogy a céljainkat elérjük - a célállítás hogyan lehetséges, ha közben mélyen belül nem hisszük el, hogy valami lehetséges a számunkra (+ mindenféle megnyilvánulása a pénzügyi és vállalkozási célok terén az önszabotázsnak) - a másokhoz való folytonos hasonlítgatás miért alakult ki, hogyan véd és hogyan korlátoz minket - és a kedvencem: az állandó túlvállalás mögött mi húzódik meg, és hogyan lehet megérteni, majd felülmúlni ezt a mély félelemből eredő jellemvonást Még egyszer: talán a legfontosabb beszélgetés, és a legfontosabb mondatok, amiknek a kimondásához valaha közöm volt. Kérlek, tedd meg magadért azt a szívességet, hogy meghallgatod és kezdesz valamit a benne lévő tudással! ============== Az eredeti anyag podcast formában a Biznisz Boyz PRO könyvtárában jelent meg, és csak előfizetőknek szól.

This week’s recovery radio is an interview with Deena Ramberg, the Vandal Recovery Outreach Coordinator. Lots of cool stuff going on and coming to campus at the University of Idaho!Enjoy!Radio Johnny & Denise Miller Recovery Radio is originally broadcast on KRFP FM in Moscow, ID.
On episode 105 of Native Land Pod, hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers recap the end of the government shutdown. Moderate Democrats in the Senate caved and passed a temporary budget without getting their demands met to continue funding health care subsidies. What the heck happened and what was the point of this record-breaking standoff that saw federal workers furloughed and the poorest Americans lose food assistance? It is not Democrats who “lost” the government shutdown, it is us, the American people, but it has made the Democrats look like losers. MAGA is teeing up to rig the 2026 election. Reporter Ari Berman wrote an article this week about Trump's pardons for high-profile attorneys and others involved in his plot to overturn the 2020 election–but it’s not just about 2020. Ari’s reporting outlines what Trump’s likely path toward rigging 2026 will be, and the under-the-radar efforts by the Trump administration to fill the voting process with red tape (voter ID, ban voting machines, etc.), which Ari says the administration will use as a pre-text to claim that “millions of Americans voted illegally” in 2026. Ari Berman is the national voting rights correspondent at Mother Jones.

Digital ID systems are expanding across the world and becoming a key part of the growing technocratic control grid. From finance and healthcare to travel and online access, digital identity is being positioned as a requirement for participation in society. In this episode of the Live Free Now Show, John Bush explores what digital ID is, how it's being implemented across sectors, and what it means for those who value privacy and freedom. We'll also discuss ways to begin opting out and protecting yourself from the tightening grip of digital surveillance. We'll dig into: What digital ID really is and why it's being pushed globally How identity systems are being used to usher in centralized control Real-world paths to opt out and live free in both physical and digital realms How faith, adversity, and spiritual growth can strengthen your resistance to the beast system John will also share personal insights on how challenges and setbacks can become fuel for awakening—and how staying spiritually rooted is one of the most powerful tools for freedom. Whether you've already taken steps to resist or you're just starting to question the system, this episode will offer clarity, strategy, and inspiration.
Your soul's frequency is being flattened into data—and it's happening right now?In this groundbreaking solo transmission, Dr. Samuel B. Lee, MD unveils one of the most urgent spiritual battles of our time: the rise of digital ID systems and their hidden agenda to fragment your soul signature, lock you into artificial timelines, and rewrite your energetic blueprint. Between now and 2030, we are entering the most accelerated bifurcation window in human history—a split between the false light and the organic source-connected path of eternal life.Dr. Lee explores the spiritual mechanics behind biometric surveillance, digital ID, and centralized systems, exposing how these infrastructures subtly manipulate frequency, consent, and identity. Drawing from CDT Plates, eternal flame teachings, and firsthand visions at Burning Man and Davos, he breaks down how the base-10 metatronic systems hijack your Kathara grid and reroute your consciousness into synthetic loops—while offering clear, sovereign alternatives.This episode is a clarion call to remember your true identity—not as a scanned barcode, but as a living scalar breathprint of Source.

Dr. Jerome Corsi breaks down a major development: The Clintons and their foundation are now under renewed investigation — including allegations of global influence-peddling and misuse of charitable funds. As Dr. Corsi notes, his research long predicted this moment, and now the legal spotlight is finally turning toward the Clinton network. CN 11 12He also reviews the potential legal exposure facing former Obama intelligence leaders like Brennan and Clapper, in connection with the Russiagate operation and related misconduct. Dr. Corsi shares how his past books — including Partners in Crime & Coup d'État — are being vindicated as the facts emerge. CN 11 12On the streets, Antifa erupted in Berkeley, disrupting a Turning Point USA event as masked agitators clashed with security amid violent scenes. Dr. Corsi explains how this domestic extremism continues to threaten civil society. CN 11 12Meanwhile, a $100M corruption scandal has erupted in Ukraine, where investigators are probing financial ties linked to Zelensky's network and business associates. As Ukraine struggles with scandal and military setbacks, Russia continues advancing across Donbass — with the war approaching a likely endgame. CN 11 12Back home, rumors grow about a draft Executive Order requiring citizenship verification and voter ID for federal elections. Dr. Corsi discusses how this could reshape the 2026 political landscape — and why opponents are already panicking. CN 11 12Plus:✅ Chaos and miscalculation surrounding the recent shutdown deal✅ U.S. drug-interdiction successes despite foreign reluctance to cooperate✅ Gold surges above $4,100/oz as global instability accelerates✅ DOJ leadership signals shifting momentumDr. Corsi also provides a personal update and reflects on the importance of perseverance, faith, and national repentance in this troubled moment for America.

Today the Independent Media Alliance (IMA) brings you a panel discussing digital ID, its differing definitions, and how it's one of the most important elements of the control grid agenda. We discuss why digital ID is so important to this agenda, the global nature of the digital ID roll out, and what we can do to stop it from coming to pass. We also discuss the role that mainstream alternative media is playing in this execution, the varying lines in the sand we are drawing, and why it's important that we each find and define what that line is for ourselves, before the choice is looming over us.

Sometimes we just need our Savior - Him and only Him. All it takes is a single encounter with Jesus to put everything in perspective. It will change you. It will restore and heal you - and it will bless you. There is nothing like it. Take some time today and turn off the chaotic noise. Sit with Him for a while. The love He has for you is more than you will ever be able to comprehend. It is beautiful and wonderful. Lay all of your burdens at His feet. Laugh with Him. Lay your head on His shoulder and rest for a few moments. Empty yourself of all the junk, and when you've done that - it will be just Him...and He is more than enough.

In this engaging episode of "It's the Bottom Line That Matters," hosts Jennifer Glass, Daniel McCraine and Patricia Reszetylo are in for an honest exploration into what they call the “CEO ID crisis”—the struggle of business owners who find themselves constantly switching hats and drowning in operational tasks. The conversation kicks off with a playful inquiry about how many metaphorical hats each person is wearing at the moment, quickly revealing a common pain point among entrepreneurs: doing too much, often out of necessity. Patricia candidly shares her frustration at being stuck in the “worker bee” role instead of focusing on high-level strategy, and Daniel admits how easy it is to slip between CEO, consultant, project manager, and even accounts payable, sometimes all within a single hour.The trio delves into real-world examples of what it means to balance resources and responsibilities. Jennifer recounts her own experiences of taking on nearly every job in a startup, emphasizing that just because you can do everything doesn't mean you should. They dig into the nitty-gritty of delegation, with Jennifer giving her rule of thumb on outsourcing tasks that take more than five minutes, while both Daniel and Patricia reflect on when and how to train others to step up. Daniel shares his recent journey in hiring an assistant for a complex, risk-laden area of his business, recognizing the up-front investment in training will pay off as he gradually steps out of the weeds. Patricia expresses both the challenges and motivational shifts she's felt during these growing pains, noting the impact of outsourcing on both efficiency and peace of mind.Throughout the episode, the hosts debate the fine line between staying connected to mission-critical areas—like finance, sales, and marketing—and learning when to let go and trust others, even to the point of letting them evolve the company beyond the founder's original vision. They cite lessons from their own mentors and programs like Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses, stressing that a true CEO must understand the numbers, keep their eye on key metrics, and ultimately operate as the strategic guide rather than chief everything officer. The show wraps up with actionable insights for entrepreneurs: identify the roles only you can fulfill, let go of the rest, and stay vigilant to avoid burning out or stalling your company's growth. Listeners are left with a motivational nudge to shed a few hats, step fully into leadership, and focus on the bottom line that really matters.KEYWORDS:small business owners, wearing many hats, business delegation, outsourcing tasks, working on the business, working in the business, CEO responsibilities, founder vs CEO, business strategy, supervisory roles, bookkeeping, accounting, social media management, virtual assistants, project management, staff training, business growth, financial management, business operations, time management, business mentorship, Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Business Program, business vision, executive decision making, distraction management, work-life balance, role delegation, business scaling, marketing supervision, sales oversightSpeaker Bios: Jennifer Glass, Daniel McCraine, and Patricia Reszetylo are dynamic business strategists, each with real-world experience growing companies and coaching entrepreneurs through their toughest challenges.

Cuando iba a entrar en una ciudad, vinieron a su encuentro diez hombres leprosos, que se pararon a lo lejos y a gritos le decían: «Jesús, maestro, ten compasión de nosotros». Al verlos, les dijo: «Id a presentaros a los sacerdotes». Y sucedió que, mientras iban de camino, quedaron limpios. Uno de ellos, viendo que estaba curado, se volvió alabando a Dios a grandes gritos y se postró a los pies de Jesús, rostro en tierra, dándole gracias. Este era un samaritano. Jesús, tomó la palabra y dijo: «¿No han quedado limpios los diez?; los otros nueve, ¿dónde están? ¿No ha habido quien volviera a dar gloria a Dios más que este extranjero?». Y le dijo: «Levántate, vete; tu fe te ha salvado».________________Descárgate la app de SerCreyente en https://sercreyente.com/app/¿Conoces nuestra Oración Online?

With Mexico and the U.K. being the latest countries to roll out mandatory digital ID's the conspiracy has once again become a reality! Many people who have not heeded the warnings or passed them off as a conspiracy theory are now realizing the warnings were real. Let's look at how we got here, what the future plans are and the end goal of digital ID's. This is just another step in the nightmare to come!Email us at: downtherh@protonmail.com

Change can energize or paralyze—so we chose energize. We sat down with Eric Silverman, founder of Voluntary Disruption and a four-time guest, to unpack what's actually moving the needle in enhanced benefits today. The surprise? Products haven't radically shifted, but execution has. Simple, high-interest options like pet insurance, ID protection, legal plans, and life paired with long-term care continue to win attention. The real breakthroughs are how teams communicate, guide choices, and run enrollment with less friction and more trust.We dig into decision support tools and their mid-market roadblocks, then map how AI can personalize choices with Amazon-like clarity. Think smart nudges that connect plan design to real life: a high-deductible plan paired with accident coverage, or young families steered toward urgent care-friendly options. We also trace a major distribution shift—from carrier direct to advisor-led strategies—where brokers step up to own the full package: medical, pharmacy, disability, life, and voluntary. That move isn't just good practice; it's how you reduce risk across absenteeism, presenteeism, and unexpected costs.Communication is where results jump. Text-first outreach beats inbox fatigue. Short, captioned videos from HR leaders outperform generic vendor clips. Family-focused messaging, including the emergency contact, turns open enrollment into a shared decision. We share a practical playbook: launch midweek, keep enrollment windows short, host content on a 24/7 microsite with searchable chapters, and go off the January 1 cycle to escape fourth-quarter chaos. Virtual, self-service enrollment replaces one-on-one sales pressure and leaves a clean digital trail that cuts buyer's remorse and HR headaches.If you advise employers—or lead HR—and want better participation without arm twisting, this conversation gives you the modern blueprint. Subscribe, share with a colleague who needs a smarter enrollment strategy, and leave a review with your top takeaway so we can dive deeper next time.This episode is sponsored by Benepower, the platform of choice for a modern benefits experience.

Jillian Michaels sits down with Glenn Beck for one of the most explosive political conversations of the year. Beck warns that Zoran Mamdani's shocking win in New York City isn't just a local upset it's a preview of what comes next as socialism sweeps major American cities. He breaks down how Soros backed campaigns, color-coded revolutions, and Occupy Wall Street tactics quietly evolved into today's political machine replacing prosecutors, collapsing justice systems, and reshaping elections city by city. Jillian and Glenn reveal how California's Prop 50, Maine's rejection of voter ID, mass illegal immigration, and collapsing tax bases all connect to the same strategy: break the system, overload it, and rebuild it under a new ideology. Beck pulls the curtain back on how these movements are funded, how corporations got pulled in, and why the U.S. is now seeing the same playbook once used to flip governments overseas. If you want to understand what just happened and why every election from this point forward could look different this episode maps the entire blueprint.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
