Podcasts about Guatemala

In the second episode of our Latino Forestry Workforce series, guest host Gaby Eseverri speaks with Manuel Machado, who is the Natural Resource Workforce Program Coordinator for the Oregon State University Extension Program. This episode was made possible with support from Rivershed SPC, and we are immensely grateful for their help in making this series happen.  Manuel works with community-based organizations across the Pacific Northwest to develop bilingual learner-centric educational materials for H-2B and immigrant forestry sector workers, while developing programming that raises awareness of the labor-intensive forest workforce. His work aims to make this work safer and more equitable, particularly through engagement with the Latine forestry workforce in Oregon. Gaby Eseverri is a journalist based in Missoula, Montana, and originally from Miami. In addition to print journalism, she also helps produce Glacier National Park's Headwaters Podcast, which we highly recommend you check out.  In this episode, Gaby and Manuel spoke about the Latine forestry workforce in the Pacific Northwest, including the workforce's history, how H-2B and immigrant status contributes to a culture of exploitation rooted in a fear of deportation, as well as the nature of forestry and fire work. Gaby and Manuel also discuss the physical, economic and systemic risks faced by this workforce, and how the model and increasing demand for forest resilience work—which includes post-fire restoration, thinning/wildfire risk reduction, and other essential forestry tasks—relies heavily on often underpaid and easily-exploited H-2B and immigrant workers.  Please note that we will be releasing a third and final episode on this topic in a few days. This final episode—also hosted by Gaby with guest Manuel— will be published in Spanish, and will focus more on the resources, training and educational materials Manuel has created and made available for the Latine workforce on Oregon and beyond.  Another note: This episode was recorded in November 2025, just a few months after the incident in Washington State when two wildland firefighters were detained by Border Patrol on an active wildfire. More information about this incident can be found at the links below.  https://utahnewsdispatch.com/2025/08/30/immigration-raid-at-washington-blaze-stokes-fear-in-wildfire-crews-nationwide/ https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/federal-agents-arrest-fire-crew-members-washington-wildfire-rcna227797   A few highlights from the conversation (full transcript can be found here):  "So a lot of the work that the Latine workforce is involved in what land management agencies refer to as forestry services. So this includes everything from planting work, hazardous fuels reduction work, tree thinning, forest restoration, pesticide application. Also, increasingly they're doing more work in fire suppression. So working on the fire line, much of that labor intensive work." "Many of these contractors are based in Southern Oregon, and although they're based here in Medford, in the Rogue Valley, and they travel all over the Pacific Northwest and the US, the workers themselves are brought primarily from Mexico and increasingly from Guatemala and Central America as h-2b visa workers. So the amount of h-2b visa workers is increasing." "The way the forest service handles contracting often awards the lowest bidder, and although this does ensure a lower price per acre, often means that the workers don't get paid as much as I believe they deserve." "With undocumented workers, you know there's that added layer of vulnerability, because they face deportation, and although they can change employers because they have specified documents which allow them that flexibility to change employers, if the employer, at any time, finds out that they are documented, they face that added risk of using that as a threat against them. Given the policies that we're seeing, there's likely to be an increase in labor violations and just less enforcement due to these policies we're seeing under the Trump administration." "It's really just an entire system that's turned on them at a time when I think their work so important, right? They are literally the ones planting trees after fire, or the ones who are fighting fire, the ones who are implementing those treatments that reduce fire risk and restore our forests." "I think a good example (of something actionable) could be for firefighters. We often hear them advocating for better pay and working conditions…but it's important for them to understand that, you know, if an increasing portion of the firefighting workforce is reliant on h-2b visa workers that don't have the same rights, well, then what can they do to build solidarity with those H-2b visa workers? A rising tide will lift all boats, so they have to really consider all of these different segments of the workforce if they want to be more effective at actively bargaining for those working conditions and better pay." "So I always ask the workers themselves, what's something that you would like the general public or policymakers or decision makers to know? What would you tell them, if you had the opportunity to speak with them? The most common responses that I've gotten is that they just want more for the important work that they do."

Dr. Anshu Chandra, founder of the Global Eye Project, has dedicated her career to solving this crisis. Since 2015, her nonprofit has worked to provide free eye exams, advanced treatments, and a sustainable care model by training local staff.During today's episode, Anshu shared how her transformative journey began. After witnessing the dire conditions during a mission trip to India, she decided to focus her career on providing eye care to underserved communities. “I saw how much need there was for eye care and how rare it was for people to have access,” Anshu explained. This realization ultimately led her to Haiti, where the need for care was “so tremendous” she couldn't look away.In 2015, she moved to Haiti with two suitcases—one filled with personal items, the other with medical equipment. Partnering with a local hospital, she established a clinic that has grown into a vital resource for the entire country. The clinic has provided over 132,000 free eye exams and performed more than 7,000 advanced procedures, including laser treatments and surgeries.But the impact doesn't end there. Anshu's commitment to sustainability has led to the training of local staff, many of whom now run the clinic independently. “Some of my staff members are orphans, and they're now supporting their families and caring for their community,” she shared.The Global Eye Project is now raising $300,000 to build a new facility that will expand its services. The proposed clinic will include a surgical center and an optical lab, enabling the nonprofit to become more financially independent. It will also allow the team to continue offering free consultations to ensure no one is turned away.By addressing a critical need with compassion and ingenuity, Anshu is not only restoring sight but also creating opportunities for individuals and communities to thrive. You can support this life-changing work by visiting GlobalEyeProject.org and contributing to their campaign.tl;dr:Dr. Anshu Chandra founded the Global Eye Project to combat preventable blindness in underserved communities.The nonprofit has provided over 132,000 free eye exams and 7,000 advanced treatments in Haiti.Anshu's sustainable model trains local staff to deliver care, empowering the community long-term.The Global Eye Project is raising $300,000 to build a new clinic with expanded capabilities.Anshu's journey highlights the power of thinking outside the box to solve pressing global challenges.How to Develop Thinking Outside the Box As a SuperpowerAnshu's superpower is her ability to think outside the box to solve complex challenges. Reflecting on her work, she explained, “I didn't see a reason why this couldn't happen. How hard could it be to go there, put up a clinic, and train locals?” Her innovative mindset enabled her to approach Haiti's eye care crisis creatively, building a sustainable model that trains locals to provide care independently.One of the most striking examples of Anshu's superpower is how she started her clinic in Haiti. Arriving with minimal resources, she trained local staff by having them practice on volunteers. Without advertising, word spread, and lines of patients formed. Over time, she transformed a rudimentary clinic with dirt floors into a well-equipped facility with 11 exam rooms, advanced diagnostic tools, and a sustainable care model.Tips for Developing the Superpower:Reframe obstacles as opportunities.Focus on the goal rather than the limitations.Start small but think big—break projects into manageable steps.Commit your time, energy, and resources to what you believe is possible.Build partnerships and accept help from others.By following Anshu's example and advice, you can make thinking outside the box a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileDr. Anshu Chandra (she/her):Founder, Global Eye ProjectAbout Global Eye Project: Founded in the United States, the Global Eye Project has grown to include volunteers and donors from all over the world. Together we are empowering local communities by building locally managed sustainable eye clinics through education initiatives and volunteer run professional training services to reduce the need for outside support. With your support, we will make eye care a right, not a privilege.Website: globaleyeproject.orgCompany Facebook Page: facebook.com/Global-Eye-Project-254480721322382Instagram Handle: @globaleyeprojectCompany Twitter Handle: @EyeCareForAllBiographical Information: Anshu has worked in Haiti for the last 15 years building and advancing eye care for the poor. She is working to end disparities in eye care globally by bringing this service to remote areas and giving them health equity. She's leading our efforts in Haiti and has built a permanent eye clinic in Fond-des-Blancs which provides client care and training for local residents. She's also collaborating with other institutions in Haiti providing care via mobile clinics to address the immediate need as well as working on more permanent solutions by helping to further develop the Haitian ophthalmology residency program in Port-au-Prince. This would provide advanced training and access to equipment and supplies so ALL Haitians can have high quality eye care.She holds a Doctor of Optometry degree and did her residency from SUNY College of Optometry in New York. She was raised in India and the USA where her mother worked as a social worker with under-served communities and created programs to strengthen various skills to make members more independent. These influences have given Anshu an understanding of the needs of disadvantaged populations as well as practical, simple solutions to address those needs. Anshu has also provided eye care to communities in Nepal, Haiti, Peru, Lebanon, Tanzania, Honduras, Guatemala, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Indonesia, and India.The Super Crowd, Inc., a public benefit corporation, is proud to have been named a finalist in the media category of the impact-focused, global Bold Awards.Support Our SponsorsOur generous sponsors make our work possible, serving impact investors, social entrepreneurs, community builders and diverse founders.

En este episodio del Serious Sellers Podcast en Español, Adriana Rangel conversa con Gabriel Cáceres desde Guatemala sobre lo que viene para Amazon en 2026. Analizan los cambios más relevantes en publicidad dentro de la plataforma, especialmente el uso estratégico de Amazon Marketing Cloud (AMC) y cómo separar lo “interesante” de lo verdaderamente “accionable” puede marcar la diferencia en la rentabilidad de una marca. Gabriel comparte insights clave sobre reportes como Path to Conversion y Campaign Overlap, explicando cómo múltiples interacciones publicitarias (Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands y Sponsored Display) pueden mejorar significativamente la tasa de conversión. Además, profundiza en estrategias avanzadas de audiencias como “Multiple Detail Page Views” para hacer retargeting más inteligente dentro de Amazon. Finalmente, exploran tres grandes predicciones para 2026: la evolución hacia búsquedas más semánticas impulsadas por IA y Rufus, la reducción de la barrera de entrada para creativos gracias a herramientas de inteligencia artificial, y la posible democratización de Amazon DSP.

Today on the CityLight Podcast, Pastor Mohamed and the CityLight team share powerful testimonies from their recent mission trip to Guatemala. Anchored in 1 Samuel 30, the message reminds us that those who stay with the baggage share equally in the reward with those who go into battle—meaning every giver, prayer partner, and supporter is a missionary.   Whether stepping onto a plane or stepping into a conversation at work, obedience unlocks breakthrough. The gospel is too good to hide and whether in Guatemala or Queens, every believer shares in the mission.(00:00) Sharing in the Reward of the Mission(04:00) Every Dollar Advances the Gospel(12:29) Healing, Freedom, and Words of Knowledge(18:20) Personal Breakthrough Through Obedience(25:06) The Gospel Overcomes Fear and Language Barriers(33:50) Saying Yes and Stepping Into God’s Will(46:18) The Gospel Is Too Good to Hidehttps://citylightnyc.com/ 

1) Naciones: Recuerda que los barcos no se hunden por el agua que los rodea, sino que más bien se hunden por el agua que les entra. Por eso, no permitas que todas las cosas que suceden a tu alrededor se metan en tu interior y te agobien. Te cuento que, estos pocos días después de la misión en Guatemala, me tomé un tiempo de descanso para meditar y pensar. Creo que llegaron momentos en querer tirar el celular, porque me llamaban o escribían para resolver problemas. Hasta luchaba en mi interior porque me daba vergüenza decir: “Estoy de vacaciones”. Pero aprendí que no podía dejar que siguiera entrando agua en mi interior. Por eso, aprende a que los problemas no entren en tu corazón, más bien es ponerte en tu mente el límite. La gente nunca entenderá de los límites que vos le pongas, pero, si no los pones, puede que no te dejen tranquilo ni en tu velorio. Por eso filtra y fíjate qué agua dejas entrar en tu corazón y en tu mente.2) Vengan: No arruines un buen día pensando en un mal de ayer. Ten paciencia con tu vida y recordá que el tiempo lo cura todo y es necesario para construir en tu vida cosas grandes. No compitas y no te compares con nadie, sos único, sos única. Solo debes competir con la persona que eras ayer. Aprende a mantener la calma incluso cuando te des cuenta que no tienes todo lo que necesitas. Uno tiene que seguir adelante en la vida y saber confiar en Dios, que todo viene a su tiempo con el esfuerzo que uno mismo se pone. No dejes que la sonrisa se apague, porque tu sonrisa abre muchas puertas; pero es necesario cuidar tu espiritualidad y tu mundo interior.3) Hambre: Recuerda que un atleta no te va a juzgar por el ejercicio que hagas, un músico no te va a juzgar por crear tu primera canción y un escritor no te va a juzgar porque escribas tu primer libro. Un empresario no te va a juzgar por presentar tu primer emprendimiento. ¡Qué curioso!. Los que siempre juzgan son los que no hacen nada. Son ellos los que juzgan y critican, así que fíjate a quién vas a escuchar y no dejes que te quiten el pan del éxito los que buscan que padezcas de hambre siempre. Aprende a confiar en Dios. Algo bueno está por venir.

¿Qué pasó realmente en el caso Cumbres en Monterrey en 2006?

Se cumplen 30 años de la firma de los Acuerdos de Paz y la pregunta sigue abierta: ¿fueron una promesa incumplida o una oportunidad que el país dejó escapar?Lucy Rodríguez inaugura una nueva serie en Tangente dedicada a revisar esta etapa clave de la historia reciente de Guatemala. Junto a la historiadora Ale Martínez y a Raquel Zelaya —quien vivió de cerca el proceso— recorremos el contexto regional, las negociaciones, los acuerdos socioeconómicos y las decisiones políticas que marcaron el rumbo del país después de 1996.Hablamos de expectativas sobredimensionadas, reformas que nunca se concretaron, el rol de la comunidad internacional y las tensiones que aún hoy siguen presentes en el debate político. ¿Qué sí cambió? ¿Qué quedó pendiente? ¿Y por qué una generación entera creció sin entender qué significaron realmente los acuerdos?

Conversamos con José Luis Sanz, periodista y exdirector de El Faro, sobre comunicación estratégica, discurso autoritario y el momento político que atraviesa Guatemala en un ciclo electoral clave que se extiende hasta 2027. A partir del documento “Hackear nuestro tiempo: 10 recetas para la comunicación estratégica”, exploramos por qué la comunicación ya no es solo una herramienta de la política, sino el terreno central donde se construye la realidad. ¿Cómo operan los discursos autoritarios? ¿Qué podemos aprender de casos como El Salvador, Estados Unidos u otros países de la región? ¿Está Guatemala ante una ventana de oportunidad o ante un proceso frágil?Gracias a nuestros patrocinadores:Party SmartTransdocSíguenos en nuestras redes sociales:Whatsapp:https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaFGJYN7z4ko8qL0Rk3USpotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/6nwrSBjxwubm0nJlEDoJdD?si=d2a6238d0a05462eTiktok: / tangentepodcast X: / tangentegt Facebook: / tangentegt Instagram: / tangente_gt

Voici la première série de Baleine sous Gravillon consacrée à des espèces animales extraordinairement étranges.Dans cette première série, Marc et Marie-Juliette se penchent sur 5 animaux à l'anatomie hors du commun.Après le Fulgore porte-lanterne, le troisième héros de cette série est un autre animal ailé des forêts tropicales d'Amérique du Sud, l'Araponga blanc. Là encore, une bizarrerie ne vient pas seule : si on remarque très facilement cet oiseau sur les photos de par son immense caroncule noire (un bout de peau qui pendouille depuis le bec de Monsieur peut-être pour draguer ces dames -décidément, ça ne fait que ça dans cette série...-), il n'y a pas besoin d'être devant lui pour le repérer. De bonnes oreilles (avec bouchons !) suffisent : c'est en effet tout simplement le piou-piou le plus bruyant du monde, avec un cri (encore un outil de séduction des mâles, décidément) d'un niveau moyen de 115 décibels, et avec un record mesuré en 2019 à... 125 dB.___

The Weeping Woman - La Llorona | Paranormal Podcast This week, we explore the Weeping Woman - La Llorona, who wanders along rivers and lakes throughout Mexico, the American Southwest, and Latin America, forever crying out for her lost children with her signature wail of "Ay, mis hijos!" We trace the possible origins of this vengeful ghost back to the 1500s in Mexico City, examining connections to Aztec mythology including the Hungry Woman and the goddess Cihuacoatl, before diving into the most common version of the tale about a beautiful peasant woman named Maria who married a wealthy nobleman, had two children, but was ultimately abandoned for a younger woman—leading her to drown her children in a jealous rage and then take her own life in the same river. We discuss how La Llorona serves multiple purposes across different age groups: teaching young children not to misbehave or cry excessively, warning teenagers about staying out past curfew and the dangers of wandering at night, and representing deeper themes of regret, misogyny, and social pressure for adults. Then, we share four chilling real-life encounters including a Guatemalan family whose 3-year-old was found drenched in an outdoor sink with a mysterious woman figure, a Texas deputy who heard wailing near the Colorado River that would stop only when he shined his flashlight on the water, and an 11-year-old El Paso boy who woke at 4 AM to hear bloodcurdling screams of "Help, help, mis hijos" coming from a nearby ditch while all the neighborhood animals howled in response.

We chatted about Olivia's most recent release “Do It Myself” which was released in 2025 and was very much a DIY project for her. We discussed how her music has evolved and how she trusts her mind and gut when songwriting.   Olivia Ellen Lloyd will try anything once. From flight attendant school in Dallas to producing theater in New York and teaching in Guatemala, Lloyd sought adventure but struggled to find a greater sense of purpose - until she found her way back to music. Channeling that restlessspirit, she writes songs that dig deep for hope in the face of hardship. Her debut album, Loose Cannon, has been streamed over 1 million times while she has been crossing the country playing shows, winning songwriting contests (like Kerrville New Folk in 2023) and generally eatinglife down to the rind. She also works as an in-demand side woman, singing backingvocals for the likes of Lizzie No, Emily Scott Robinson, and as part of the Resistance Revival Chorus, with Renee Rapp at the 2024 All Things Go festival.    Lloyd has spent the past three years doubling down on her efforts to build community within the Alt-Country and Americana scene while deepening her working partnership with Mike Robinson, an in-demand sideman known for touring and recording with the likes of SierraFerrell and Zach Bryan. Mike served as her producer and primary instrumentalist on Do It Myself.   Be sure to check out Olivia Here:  Website: olivialloydmusic.com  IG: oliviaellenlloyd  FB: Olivia Ellen Lloyd  YouTube: Olivia Ellen Lloyd

Show Notes: Tobey Weintraub Collins pursued a master's degree in international relations at Georgetown, where she met her husband who joined the US Foreign Service. Tobey worked in project finance in Brazil and Venezuela, focusing on energy projects, and later worked for AES Corp in the US and Chile. She eventually moved back to the US and has been at Astris for the past 13 years, specializing in energy and infrastructure investment banking. Life in Venezuela Tobey describes Venezuela in 2000-2001 as relatively normal, with the US still influential, and her work focused on Central America and the Caribbean. She notes that Caracas was a pleasant place to live, though it was quieter compared to Sao Paulo, Brazil. Tobey reflects on the changes in Venezuela since then, expressing optimism for the future despite the current challenges. She shares a personal story about her son being born in Venezuela and the family's eventual move back to the US. Venezuela Under Chavez The conversation turns to Chavez's administration and the reforms he implemented. Tobey recalls the acquisition of the largest electricity distribution company in Venezuela by AES during her time in Venezuela. She acknowledges Chavez's initial leftist leanings but notes that he later became more radical. Tobey shares a story about a deal she worked on in Guatemala, helping to refinance a company's debt.

En Guatemala siempre se repite la frase: “el cine está creciendo”. En este episodio, Lucy Rodríguez conversa con Pamela Guinea (cineasta y presidenta de la Academia de Cine) para poner esa idea en contexto: el cine en Guatemala no nació ayer; lleva décadas existiendo, resistiendo y produciendo talento, pero sin el piso mínimo para sostener una industria.Hablamos de la historia y la memoria del cine guatemalteco (archivo, patrimonio y la urgencia de una cinemateca nacional), de por qué filmar aquí sigue siendo un periplo de permisos y criterios cambiantes, y de cómo la falta de una ley y un fondo de fomento deja a las productoras en desventaja al negociar coproducciones, propiedad y regalías. También abordamos el gran cuello de botella: la exhibición. Hay películas aclamadas afuera que casi no se pueden ver dentro del país, y eso termina rompiendo la relación entre cine y audiencia.La Ley de Cine —que avanza en el Congreso— aparece aquí como un paraguas: marco jurídico, ventanilla única, mecanismos de financiamiento e incentivos, y una ruta más clara para producir, proteger y circular el cine guatemalteco. Si querés entender por qué esto no es un “tema de artistas”, sino de cultura, empleo, inversión y memoria, este episodio es para vos.

Nos vamos hasta el consulado colombiano de Madrid y entrevistamos a la canciller de Colombia, Rosa Yolanda Villavicencio, con motivo de su visita a España. La canciller ha valorado de forma muy positiva el estado de las relaciones bilaterales con España y ha destacado la cooperación en materia migratoria, donde señala que el Gobierno español ha sido modélico al abordar la migración desde una perspectiva de integración.Además, no perdemos de vista otros asuntos de la actualidad. En nuestro repaso a las noticias hablamos del fin del estado de sitio que fue declarado en Guatemala hace un mes, también de las excarcelaciones de presos políticos en Venezuela, de la situación límite que viven los cubanos en la isla o de las protestas en El Salvador. Y terminamos contándoles la polémica que ha surgido por un homenaje al actual presidente brasileño en el Sambódromo de Río de Janeiro.Escuchar audio

Some assignments take you around the world on small roads. Others land you on a highway with your plane. In Part 1 of this two-part conversation, former National Geographic Staff photographer Robert “Bob” Madden takes us back to his beginnings, the golden era of the magazine and into the stories behind two remarkable images — including his famous Guatemala earthquake bush-plane crash photograph, later selected as one of National Geographic's 50 most iconic pictures, and the return of the Apollo 11 astronauts. We talk about how Bob got his start in the late 1960s, what it was like working during that era of travel and exploration, and why the real story of a photograph often begins long before the shutter clicks. That's just the first stop on this Planes, Trains & National Geographic road trip. Next week we're back with more stories and some amazing images from the field — and trust us, you'll want to be on board for Part 2! Enjoy it. *****

Dr. Boj Lopez is a Maya-K'iche' Assistant Professor of Chicanx and Central American Studies at UCLA. We discuss her academic journey and early interests in the project of ethnic studies, as well as in building Maya community spaces in diaspora. Boj Lopez works in the growing field of Critical Latinx Indigeneity which she approaches as a bridge of conversations between Latino/Chicano Studies and Native American and Indigenous Studies. This approach interrogates the complicated relationships with categories like ‘Latin,' which some refuse. Yet, at the same time also leaves room for Maya diaspora communities who may adopt or use the ‘Latin' category for survival. The book Indigenous Archives recently released and we explore some of its premise which responded to questions of why displaced Maya diaspora communities look for each other and how they find one another. Boj Lopez shares an introduction to her book that confronts the dominant function of archives of upholding hegemonic narratives located in centers of power, and shifts to archives beyond dominant institutions, such as the mobile and living ones found in inter-generational ancestral clothing and textiles.   References: Floridalma Boj Lopez, ‘Naming, A Coming Home: Latinidad and Indigeneity in the Settler Colony', The Funambulist, 41 (2022). Floridalma Boj Lopez, Indigenous Archives: The Maya Diaspora and Mobile Cultural Production (Duke University Press, 2026)   Notes on Terms: Xela/Quetzaltenango (Xela is shortened from Xelajú N'oj, which is an Indigenous Maya name for this place. Whereas Quetzaltenango is the official national place name derived from Nahuatl); Tongva (Indigenous people and place name for Los Angeles, California); Soonkahni (Indigenous place name for the Salt Lake Valley in the Newe/Shoshone/Goshute language); Maya-K'iche' (K'iche' refers to an ethno-linguistic group of diverse Highland Maya peoples and communities, and Maya is a post-colonial term that has been adopted by many, which contemporarily refers to the Mayan culture and people in Mesoamerica); Corte (A skirt that is typically made and worn by Guatemalan Mayan women often featuring ikat or jaspe patterns. Corte is derived from Spanish and it is also known as Uq or Uk in the K'iche' language). Huipil (A generally loose-fitting feminine blouse worn by Indigenous Mesoamerican women, which in Guatemala are often lineage-based and regionally distinct, identified by their unique patterns, colours, and styles; huipil is derived from Nahuatl, but this garment is also known as p'ot in the K'iche' language). Kab'awil (Maya concept for duality or pairing of oppositional or complimentary forces; etymologically it is a compound word expressing the number two and face, which means to see with multiple visions or faces or a double view; philosophically linked with interconnectedness, complexity, and plurality, which is often depicted in textiles as mirrored images such as two exact birds facing different directions).

We talk about important culture war fights that conservatives will always think are destroying the fabric of America before moving on to something that conservatives couldn't care less about—a global cabal of ultra wealthy pedophiles, and it's dead ringleader, Jeffrey Epstein. This is a sample of a premium episode. Sign up to listen to the entire episode. patreon.com/wetwired Last month's release of 3 million or so Epstein documents has churned up dozens of subterranean connections between Epstein and diplomats, government ministers, tech billionaires, scientists, and academics.  The files have also resurfaced Epstein's longstanding fascination with gene editing and cloning, and how told friends about wanting to use his New Mexico ranch as a baby farm to create a new race of humans. We review the 2019 investigation opened and quickly closed by the Attorney General of New Mexico, Epstein's genomics interests over the years, and wonder why so many ultra-wealthy weirdos are so into transhumanism.

Host: Cindy Allen Show: Simply Trade – Cindy's Version Published: February 13, 2026 Length: ~15 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center State of Grace: Tariffs, First Sale Under Fire, and a Glimmer of Stability In this episode of Cindy's Version, Cindy Allen, CEO of TradeForce Multiplier, walks through another busy week in global trade and ties it to Taylor Swift's “State of Grace”—focusing on the idea that, despite the shock of recent policy shifts, this is still a “worthwhile fight” for trade professionals. From new trade deals to challenges against tariff policy and first sale threats, Cindy explains what's changing and where there are signs of hope.​ What You'll Learn in This Episode New trade deals and tariff shifts A U.S.–Taiwan deal capping total tariffs at 15% (either limiting MFN above 15% or applying 15% where MFN is lower). Details emerging on agreements with Guatemala, El Salvador, Argentina, and an India deal rolling back some reciprocal tariffs tied to India's Russian oil purchases.​ Where to find official text and specifics: USTR's website.​ Border infrastructure and electronic bonds The administration's threat to block the opening of the long‑planned Gordie Howe Bridge between Detroit and Ontario over funding/ownership disputes, and why Canada and Michigan intend to proceed regardless. How this new public crossing will compete with the privately owned Ambassador Bridge for billions in daily cross‑border trade.​ CBP's move to mandate electronic surety bond filing for all bonds, formalizing what many brokers, importers, and sureties already do—and why Cindy strongly supports it.​ Section 232 guidance softens (slightly) New CBP guidance on 232 tariffs for steel, aluminum, and copper, dialing back earlier aggressive interpretations. Trade groups have received written clarification allowing certain labor/overhead costs to be prorated into steel/aluminum values instead of fully loaded, even as petitioners continue to argue that none of those costs should be included. Why importers should review the latest guidance carefully, track affected entries, and monitor the ongoing Court of International Trade challenge.​ USMCA and IEPA signals from Capitol Hill Senate Finance Committee signaling support for extending USMCA, seeking stability before any renegotiation, while the administration is rumored to prefer separate bilateral deals with Canada and Mexico.​ The House vote to end IEPA duties on Canada for certain non‑USMCA goods—a positive step toward predictability, though the bill still must clear the Senate and avoid a presidential veto.​ First sale under threat Introduction of a bill to eliminate first sale, driven by some of the same groups that pushed to curtail de minimis and oppose duty‑reducing mechanisms generally. Why this is significant: many large importers rely on first sale, provide extensive upstream data to CBP, and enable deeper supply‑chain visibility and risk management. Trade associations have already begun weighing in to defend first sale; Cindy flags this as a fight to watch closely.​ EU deal conditions and a big auto bill The EU moving its U.S. tariff deal through lawmakers but adding elements like sunset deadlines and “security triggers” that go beyond earlier negotiating language.​ Ford announcing an expected 900 million dollar 232‑related tariff hit after previously anticipated automotive offsets were disallowed for several months—raising questions about how other automakers will fare and whether Ford might push back through protests or litigation.​ Global trade up, U.S. trade down Conference insights from Manifest: global trade volumes are rising overall, but trade into the U.S. is declining, as exporters pivot to other markets they perceive as less costly and less complex. This trend aligns with a surge in trade deals worldwide that do not include the U.S.​ Why “State of Grace”? Cindy connects the week's developments to Taylor Swift's “State of Grace,” highlighting the line: “I never saw you coming and I'll never be the same. This is a state of grace, this is a worthwhile fight.” She uses this to frame: How studies now confirm what many suspected—U.S. consumers have already paid roughly 1,000 dollars more due to tariffs, with an additional 1,300 dollars expected in the coming year. How tariffs are hitting companies and rural communities: constrained exports for U.S. agriculture, rising small‑farm bankruptcies, and knock‑on impacts to local economies. Research showing that about 90% of tariff costs are passed from suppliers to U.S. importers, then to consumers, and even to manufacturers who never import directly but rely on tariff‑burdened inputs.​ Despite this, she sees reasons for cautious optimism: Companies challenging IEPA and 232 in court. Large players like Ford publicly quantifying tariff impacts. Congress beginning to reassert its constitutional role over tariffs and question security‑based justifications used as broad economic tools. Early, coordinated pushback against eliminating first sale—stronger than what was seen around de minimis.​ For Cindy, these developments suggest the industry may be entering a state of grace—a moment where data, legal challenges, and coordinated advocacy start to rebalance the conversation and make the fight for smarter trade policy worth it.​ Credits Host: Cindy Allen Producer: Annik Sobing Presented by: Global Training Center Sponsor: PAX AI ​ Listen & Subscribe Simply Trade main page: https://simplytrade.podbean.com​ Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/simply-trade/id1640329690​ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/09m199JO6fuNumbcrHTkGq​ Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/8de7d7fa-38e0-41b2-bad3-b8a3c5dc4cda/simply-trade​ Connect with Simply Trade Podcast page: https://www.globaltrainingcenter.com/simply-trade-podcast​ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/simply-trade-podcast​ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SimplyTradePod​ Join the Trade Geeks Community Trade Geeks (by Global Training Center): https://globaltrainingcenter.com/trade-geeks/

Last week, our Client Seat episode featured me coaching Michelle through feeling out of control with her money after moving to Guatemala. The cash system felt chaotic. Multiple accounts, inconsistent tracking, and no clear rhythm for how money moved. She wanted stability back.This week, I'm showing you what was happening on my side of that conversation. The coaching decisions I was making while listening and what I chose to prioritize and intentionally left alone. When you don't know the client's context, when the situation is completely unfamiliar, you can still lead a session that creates real progress.This isn't about having all the answers, because we never will. It's about helping the client find clarity. Four specific observations from that session show how to guide someone toward that clarity when the path isn't obvious to either of you yet.Links & Resources:Join the Facebook groupFinancial Coaching EssentialsEpisode 133: Coaching session with Mary AnnClient Seat applicationKey Takeaways:Targeted focus narrows the conversation and reduces overwhelm. When a client's situation feels chaotic, ask: Where does it feel most out of control right now?Not knowing something doesn't remove your authority as a coach, but pretending does. Name what you don't know and stay present as the guide.Progress happens in layers. Stabilization comes before optimization. Solving one thing well creates momentum for what comes next.Your clients can be the expert on context while you remain the expert on process. True collaboration happens when you share the stage.When clients feel scattered, optimization adds pressure. Stabilization gives them room to breathe, refine, and improve from a solid foundation.Limited scope isn't a weakness. Framing realistic progress as a win builds trust and creates buy-in during the session.Predictability before perfection. Give clients something concrete they can work with right now, not everything they could eventually do.

Brandon shares what “managing up” looked like through a leadership transition at Prism Controls—how learning a new boss's values and cadence sharpened communication and trust over time. Emily takes the mic to unpack her shift from a high-intensity med-surg unit to hospice nursing at a level one trauma center, showing how empathy, presence, and dignity can transform even the hardest days. Together, we reflect on a 25-year marriage, a long-running remodel that turned project management into a domestic art form, and the bittersweet edges of the empty-nest season.We also pull back the curtain on the show's direction: more farm stories from industry legends and rising talent, because the generational arcs, pivots, and practical wisdom inside those barns teach better than any playbook. Brandon recalls a faith-forward moment on stage—“I matter because I'm a child of God”—and how it ignited deeper conversations and personal accountability to live what he says. Then we travel to Guatemala, where a simple yes led to a 4,000-bird ministry farm, an Egg A Day approach to feed mountain communities, and a plan to scale layers where jaguars make backyard flocks impossible. Eggs become logistics, nutrition, and hope—proof that operations and compassion can align.Finally, we keep AI grounded. Brandon uses transcripts from one-on-ones to audit his own leadership patterns and turn blind spots into follow-through. On farms, he frames AI as decision support: spotting subtle flock deviations, correlating storms, feed changes, and performance so producers can act faster with confidence. It's not about replacing people; it's about freeing them to be more human. Alongside this, there's a spring triathlon on the calendar—because physical grit fuels clear thinking and long-term leadership.Subscribe, share this with a friend who loves farm stories, and leave a review with the one insight you're taking into work this week.

On today's episode of The Jimmy Rex Show, Jimmy sits down with Naweïa Wilder, a health + healing practitioner who works with Iboga and other alternative modalities focused on deep emotional healing, truth work, and self-love.They start with Naweïa's background growing up Mormon in California, her unexpected decision to serve an LDS mission in Guatemala, and the spiritual questions that followed. From there, Naweïa shares how her path expanded into energy work, kinesiology, EFT tapping, and ultimately plant medicine, including early experiences with ayahuasca and the moment she felt strongly called toward Iboga. Jimmy and Naweïa break down what makes Iboga different, why it's often described as a “truth hunter,” and how it can help people work through trauma, addiction patterns, emotional loops, and the deeper roots of self-sabotage.Naweïa also talks about the real meaning of self-love, why healing isn't just “feel good” spirituality, and how different parts of the psyche can stay stuck even when the adult version of you looks successful on paper.This is a deep, honest conversation about faith, healing, forgiveness, personal evolution, and what it looks like to find your own path to God without judgment.
