Since the 1930s, the federal government has used the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's (FDIC) deposit insurance to justify its increased involvement in banking. Now, in the name of supporting community banks, some policymakers have proposed raising the FDIC insurance cap from $250,000 to $10 million. They claim that in the wake of the bank failures of 2023, depositors fled from small banks and moved their money to “too big to fail” institutions that enjoy implicit government backing. Increasing the FDIC insurance cap, these policymakers argue, will encourage depositors to stay with community banks.Yet for nearly a century, Congress and the FDIC have continued to expand and increase federal involvement in banking, creating a complex web of regulation, increasing costs for consumers, and burdening American taxpayers. Despite these changes being implemented in the name of safety, a select few institutions still clamor for special protection.The proposed expansion will magnify all these problems, making the system more fragile and less resilient, and forcing millions of Americans to bear its cost. Sadly, this latest expansion would come at a time when an incredibly small share of depositors even need additional coverage.Join leading policy experts for a discussion on why expanding FDIC insurance is not only unnecessary but could also ultimately harm both the economy and the community banks it was designed to protect.

Regulations, Water Challenges, and the 2026 Outlook: Roger Isom on the AgNet News Hour In this Thursday edition of the AgNet News Hour, Nick Papagni and Lorrie Boyer sit down with Roger Isom, a leading voice in California agriculture. The conversation covers critical challenges and opportunities for growers, including regulatory pressures, water scarcity, rising energy costs, and strategies for advocacy heading into 2026. Advocacy and Grassroots Engagement Active participation in agriculture advocacy is essential. Growers and farm suppliers are encouraged to engage with legislators and county supervisors. Joining industry organizations strengthens collective influence: Western Tree Nut Association (WTNA): wtna.org California Cotton Ginners and Growers Association (CCGGA): ccgga.org 2026 is an election year—growers need to be heard in policy and voting decisions. Regulatory Challenges Rodenticide restrictions: Proposed DPR rules may limit usage, affecting food safety and crop protection. Sustainable pest management: Phase-out of priority pesticides by 2050 raises concerns about balanced advisory representation. Automation hurdles: Driverless tractors face restrictions under OSHA rules, despite driverless cars operating freely. Increasing paperwork burdens take time away from actual farming. Water, Energy, and Affordability Pressures Groundwater restrictions are enforced ahead of SGMA 2040 benchmarks. Funding gaps prevent critical infrastructure development for water conveyance and storage. Rising PG&E rates threaten farm operations: Proposed 27% electricity hike California agricultural rates up to 3x higher than Texas Solar payback periods under NEM 3.0 now nearly 20 years. The Future of California Agriculture Population loss and migration of growers to states like Texas and Idaho. Regulatory and energy burdens threaten long-term agricultural viability. Advocacy, voter engagement, and unified industry action are critical to protecting California agriculture. Wine Industry Insights Younger generations are drinking less wine due to cost, health, lifestyle, and cannabis alternatives. Wine marketing must emphasize storytelling, tasting experiences, and approachable options. Sampling and education about varietals, winemakers, and history can grow consumer appreciation. In today's episode of the AgNet News Hour, host Nick Papagni (The Ag Meter) and co-host Lorrie Boyer wrapped up a lively discussion on the changing landscape of wine consumption and what the wine industry can do to engage new generations of drinkers. Younger Consumers: Price, Health, and Lifestyle Drive Decisions Lorrie explained that younger adults are drinking less wine for several reasons—cost being a major factor. Many prioritize health, career, or school, while others prefer non-alcoholic beverages now trending in breweries and restaurants. She noted that wineries may need to expand into non-alcoholic options, just as beer companies have. Experience Over Alcohol: What Today's Drinkers Want Nick and Lorrie agreed that modern consumers focus more on experiences than alcohol volume. Craft cocktails, tasting-room visits, and curated beverage moments continue to capture interest. At the same time, the overwhelming number of wine choices can intimidate new drinkers, especially when bottle prices are high. The Value of Tasting and Storytelling Lorrie shared her personal love for wine tasting—trying small pours, exploring Cabernet and Zinfandel, and discovering new favorites based on food, mood, and weather. She emphasized that winery visits are about more than wine: Meeting the winemaker Learning the history Hearing the story behind each bottle Nick added that “every bottle has a story,” underscoring why wine remains a unique and powerful part of agriculture. Wrapping Up Nick and Lorrie closed the episode with excitement for upcoming holiday-themed content and encouraged listeners to return tomorrow for more ag news, insights, and seasonal fun.

0:00 Introduction: Leg strength for longevity0:37 Leg problems that affect longevity 10:41 Type 2 diabetes 13:50 The Soleus push-up 16:40 Sitting-rising test and longevity 19:43 More tips for strong legs Did you know that your legs can give early warning signs about underlying health conditions? The older you are, the more relevant this becomes! The following conditions that affect the legs can provide insight into your longevity and overall health. 1. Peripheral neuropathyThese symptoms of numbness, pain, tingling, or burning in the bottom of the feet or fingertips are often associated with diabetes. High levels of sugar in the bloodstream destroy the vascular and nervous systems.2. Ankle and foot edema Puffy legs and ankles, or pitting edema, often signify a serious problem with circulation involving the kidney, liver, or heart.3. Restless legs syndromeThis often occurs at night and is related to the overconsumption of sugar. Interference with your sleep can decrease longevity. Dietary changes, vitamin B1, and magnesium may help improve this condition. 4. Deep vein thrombosis Clots in the legs can break off and travel to the lungs. Around 90% to 95% percent of heart attacks are caused by clots. 5. Peripheral artery disease This type of atherosclerosis goes beyond the arteries of the heart and is caused by damage to the endothelial layer of the arteries. 6. Chronic venous insufficiency This is associated with a sedentary lifestyle and puts increased pressure on the heart. 7. Sarcopenia Age-related muscle loss is one of the top predictors of mortality. Protein and exercise are vital, especially as you age. Type 2 diabetes and blood sugar issues cause problems with the inside of the arteries, which often show up in your legs first. A low-carb diet and intermittent fasting can help reverse these issues, but this is often ignored by doctors. Benfotiamine and alpha-lipoic acid can also help with associated peripheral neuropathy.The soleus push-up can significantly improve your blood sugar and circulation, and the sitting-standing test is an excellent indicator of hip and core strength.Potassium, a low-carb diet, and the Soleus Push-up can all help improve edema and reduce excess water weight. Increasing nitric oxide supports the inner walls of the arteries, and consistent exercise and a sufficient amount of sleep can help strengthen the legs and increase longevity.

In today's mobile-first world, organizations juggle a tough balancing act: enabling employees to use personal devices while safeguarding sensitive data. BYOD, which stands for Bring Your Own Device, is a policy that allows employees to use their personal devices (like smartphones, laptops, and tablets) for work-related tasks. This practice has become increasingly common, offering convenience and flexibility for employees while potentially reducing costs for the employer. However, BYOD also presents security challenges that organizations need to address. Hypori, a company that offers a solution that reimagines BYOD, delivering uncompromising privacy, security, and compliance...all through a seamless virtual workspace... joins the podcast to discuss privacy, data, CMMC, compliance and more.

Have you ever reached a point where burnout reshaped your sense of who you are and what you want next in life? In this episode, we explore the tender, transformative journey that so many people move through when they decide to train as a coach after experiencing burnout. This conversation matters because burnout rarely leaves life untouched. It rewires priorities, reframes identity, and forces us to acknowledge that our wellbeing is the most important asset we have. Throughout the discussion, we reflect on why individuals arrive at coach training following burnout and what they discover about themselves in the process. We talk about the shift from depletion to purpose, the desire to reconnect with meaning, and the way burnout creates fertile ground for growth once we begin to resource ourselves again. We acknowledge how disorientating burnout can be. It can feel frightening and destabilising, yet it can also illuminate our non-negotiables and reveal the parts of life that need to change. As we explore this, we share how coaching becomes a powerful pathway towards rebuilding confidence, rediscovering identity, and reconnecting with values. We dive into the emotional experience behind this choice. Many people arrive having encountered support through counselling, therapy, mentoring or coaching, realising that they want to help others in the same way they have been supported. Others arrive because their old world no longer fits who they have become. They do not return to their pre burnout life because it no longer feels like home. Coaching offers a forward focused space where they can shape what comes next. Throughout the episode, we reflect on the deep sense of safety and acceptance within the coaching community. We talk about how shame often accompanies burnout and how that shame is released when individuals step into an environment where life experience is valued rather than judged. We explore how coaching training becomes a healing process. Not always intentionally so, but in practice it reconnects people with the belief that they are enough. It helps them see themselves with compassion rather than criticism. It builds emotional honesty, self-awareness, and a renewed sense of possibility. We also reflect on how passion and purpose must be channelled with awareness. Burnout can occur in work that is deeply meaningful as well as work that is unfulfilling. Coaching training helps individuals see where their needs are not being met, where boundaries must shift, and how systemic pressures may be influencing their wellbeing. This episode is an invitation to anyone who has experienced burnout to consider how that experience might become a catalyst for growth. Coaching training can be the place where confidence is rebuilt, identity is reclaimed, and a new sense of purpose emerges.   Timestamps: 00.00 Welcome and introduction 00.28 Why burnout leads people towards coach training 00.56 How burnout reshapes identity 01.48 Rebuilding confidence and recognising personal needs 03.45 Entering the fertile ground of growth after burnout 04.14 When returning to old roles no longer feels aligned 05.11 Developing the belief that we are enough 06.13 Releasing shame and finding acceptance in coaching communities 07.32 Understanding mindset, values and beliefs during coach training 08.56 The courage required to share personal experiences 10.21 Recognising burnout risks and unmet needs 11.18 Monitoring wellbeing and understanding control 12.39 Increasing self awareness through coaching skills 14.36 The emotional honesty coaching encourages 15.05 Recognising burnout in clients and systemic pressures 17.00 Why people seek the source of coaching skills 17.58 Channelling ambition into something healthy 19.22 Feeling busy without becoming depleted 20.20 Creating a sustainable coaching life 20.49 Coaching as an oasis after burnout 21.18 How to explore coach training   Key Lessons Learned: Burnout often becomes a catalyst for reassessing identity, values and life direction. Coaching training provides a safe, accepting environment where individuals can release shame and rebuild confidence. The coaching journey is as healing as it is educational, helping people reconnect with the belief that they are enough. Passion driven individuals are at risk of burnout, and coaching skills help them understand and manage their needs. Coaching offers a future focused path that helps people move forward when returning to old roles no longer feels possible. Self awareness, emotional honesty and compassion are key outcomes of coach training after burnout. Life experience becomes a powerful asset within the coaching profession, not a limitation.   Keywords: training to be a coach, coaching after burnout, burnout recovery, coach training journey, emotional wellbeing, values led coaching, identity after burnout, confidence building, self-awareness coaching, healing through coaching   Links and Resources: www.igcompany.com/ilmcall www.mycoachingcourse.com

The latest AgNet News Hour delivers a wide-ranging look at the issues shaping American agriculture—from meat-industry shakeups to the rapid evolution of organic farming technology. Hosts Nick Papagni and Lorrie Boyer blend personal updates with in-depth interviews and industry analysis, creating a vivid picture of the pressures and opportunities facing today's producers. Holiday Reflections and Shifting Trends in American Beef The program opens with lighthearted Thanksgiving conversation, including cooking traditions and reflections on a recent interview about preparing the perfect turkey. But the tone quickly shifts as the hosts discuss a major jolt to the U.S. beef industry: Tyson Foods' decision to close a key Nebraska processing facility. The plant, which employed roughly 3,000 workers and handled nearly 5% of daily U.S. beef slaughter, has broad implications for cattle markets, regional economies, and long-term production capacity. Nick and Lorrie explore the underlying pressures contributing to the closure, including: Declining cattle numbers Rising labor and operational costs Expanding automation Increasing regulatory burdens Concerns for rural communities dependent on packing-house jobs These factors, they note, are reshaping beef production and accelerating the push toward efficiency and technology across the supply chain. Spotlight on the Organic Grower Summit in Monterey The show transitions into an extended conversation with Matt Jungmann, Senior Director of Events for the Organic Grower Summit (OGS), scheduled for December 3–4 in Monterey, California. Jungmann outlines the mission and growth of the summit, which brings together growers, researchers, suppliers, and innovators advancing the organic marketplace. He highlights several key components of this year's event: Educational Sessions & Key Issues Regulatory challenges for U.S. organic producers Labor shortages and rising wage pressures Banking, finance, and risk management Regenerative farming and soil health Marketing, consumer trends, and retailer engagement Retail chains such as Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, and Sprouts—longtime champions of organic demand—continue to play a significant role in pushing the category forward. Automation, Robotics, and New Tech Demonstrations Jungmann emphasizes that technology is becoming a central force in the organic sector. While organic acreage is growing steadily rather than rapidly, he notes that the barriers to converting new ground remain high. For many producers, automation offers a path to improved efficiency and long-term sustainability. Among the most anticipated summit attractions: Autonomous weeding and cultivation machines AI-driven tools for mechanical pest and weed control Concept robotics from startups such as Reservoir Hands-on demonstrations showing how machines perform in real organic environments He stresses that as chemical options narrow—especially with fewer new pesticides entering the organic toolbox—mechanical and robotic solutions are filling critical gaps. Community, Collaboration, and the Organic Grower of the Year Beyond technology, Youngman celebrates the strong community that defines organic agriculture. The summit fosters a sense of fellowship, giving growers space to exchange ideas, compare seasons, and learn from firsthand experience. He also highlights the Organic Grower of the Year finalists, representing innovation, stewardship, and leadership across multiple states. The award underscores the dedication required to farm organically in an era marked by rising costs, fluctuating markets, and rigorous regulatory frameworks. California's Regulatory Reality vs. the Rest of the Nation The interview includes a candid discussion of how California's farming environment differs dramatically from states like Illinois, where Jungmann grew up. California producers face: Significantly higher labor costs More intensive regulatory requirements Water uncertainty Environmental compliance challenges Market pressures from global competitors with lower production costs Jungmann argues that the future of California agriculture may hinge on growers' ability to embrace new efficiencies—and events like OGS help equip them for that transition. Industry Conversations Continue at the National Association of Farm Broadcasting Convention After the interview concludes, the show returns to Lorrie Boyer, who recounts her recent trip to the National Association of Farm Broadcasting annual convention in Kansas City. The event provided a deep dive into: Commodity and livestock market outlooks Fertilizer prices and global supply chains Weather impacts on crop production Innovations in machinery and agritech Geopolitical pressures influencing U.S. agriculture Consumer nutrition trends and the federal MAHA (Make America Healthy Again) report She also notes discussions around Proposition 12, nutrition policy, new consumer-facing pork campaigns, and the impact of synthetic food dyes on children's health. Rising Consumer Awareness and the Push for Better Food Quality The show ends with a discussion about food dyes and the slow pace of regulatory change. A parent from California shared how removing dyes transformed her son's health—an example the hosts use to highlight growing consumer scrutiny of food ingredients. This concern ties directly back to the organic movement and the mission of improving food quality, even as healthier products come at a higher cost. Final Thoughts From meat-industry upheaval to breakthroughs in organic farming, the AgNet News Hour offers a candid snapshot of modern agriculture's evolving landscape. Whether it's automation, regulation, or shifting consumer demands, producers across the country are adapting quickly—and conversations like these help illuminate the challenges and opportunities ahead.

Stop this barbaric treatment! Sign the petition here: https://stopect.com/email-congress This barbaric medical treatment is still being used to treat depression and mental illness in the US. Find out about the dangerous side effects of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), one of the most controversial mental health treatments that exists. You won't believe they're still doing this!0:00 Introduction: ECT for depression0:41 Electroshock treatment background2:11 Is ECT dangerous? 2:23 What is electroconvulsive therapy?4:22 More side effects of electroconvulsive therapy4:38 Trauma from electroshock therapy This barbaric mental health therapy costs around $2000 to $2500 per treatment, and is covered by Medicaid, Medicare, and the VA system. It's a multibillion-dollar market! The average treatment plan includes 12 sessions in the first month, followed by maintenance sessions every 3 weeks. This treatment has never been scientifically proven to work! There have been no official trials, and it has even been performed on children and pregnant women. The UN calls this treatment a human rights abuse and compares this forced treatment on minors to torture. In China, it's actually used as a form of torture. In addition, this treatment has never been FDA-approved and was merely grandfathered in. In 2018, the FDA downgraded it from a high-risk classification to a moderate-risk classification. This dangerous treatment causes structural brain damage, creates swelling and inflammation in the brain, and even kills brain cells. Electroconvulsive therapy involves putting 150 volts through a person's brain to induce a grand mal seizure. ECT treatment comes with many side effects, has 60 documented adverse events, and can cause permanent brain damage, memory loss, and heart attacks. This treatment uses enough energy to stop the heart, and there is nothing stopping the voltage from traveling to the rest of the body. This can lead to cardiac arrest! People who use this treatment are also at an increased risk of suicide. I've seen firsthand in practice that people who've had this treatment lose their personality, humor, creativity, and more. ECT treatment can lead to death, destruction of cells and mitochondria, and shrinking of the hippocampus. Neurologist Dr. John Feinberg noted in 1977 that ECT caused structural brain damage, indistinguishable from head trauma. If you have depression, diet and lifestyle changes may help. Increasing vitamin D levels, B-vitamin levels, and omega-3 levels, along with a low-carb diet and intermittent fasting, can significantly improve your symptoms.Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

What does it take to build a team that consistently performs at a high level? In this episode, Kevin sits down with Dr. Vanessa Druskat to explore what emotionally intelligent teams look like and how leaders can foster them. Vanessa introduces the concept of "team emotional intelligence" and explains why team culture, not just individual skills or personalities, is often the key differentiator between average and high-performing teams. She shares her practical three-part model, based on nine team norms, that top teams use to create environments of trust, psychological safety, and accountability. Vanessa also discusses why emotionally intelligent teams are fundamentally about how people interact, not just how they feel. She reveals what leaders should do in the first meeting of a new team to set the tone for long-term performance, and why nonverbal behaviors and small habits matter more than you think.

The podcast episode discusses the advantages of prioritizing UGC Retainer Deals to move your income from 1-2k months to 8-10k months within the first quarter of 2026! Here is why over 50% of my monthly income comes from UGC retainers, how I book them and how to stand out to be hired for a retainer contract, even as a new creator. Here's a breakdown of the key points: • What are Retainers? A retainer means a brand or agency hires your services for a set duration, rather than for a single, one-off project (0:42-1:02). This provides predictable income, as you know how much content you'll produce and how much you'll be paid for a specific period (1:12-1:29). • Benefits of Retainers: • Predictable Income: Over 65-75% of the speaker's UGC income comes from retainers, providing stability and peace of mind (2:29-2:51). • Less Clients, More Money: You can achieve your income goals with fewer clients, which is ideal for those with other commitments (2:53-3:00). • No Pressure to Go Viral: The focus is on delivering consistent, valuable content, with the brand deciding how it's used (3:02-3:07). • Control: You control your rates, time, and schedule, and can customize retainers (3:09-3:15). • Efficiency: Working with fewer brands allows for deeper integration and understanding of their message and audience, leading to more efficient content creation (8:05-8:29). • Why Brands Love Retainers: Brands appreciate not having to constantly search for new creators, as it simplifies bookkeeping and ensures a consistent brand voice (1:59-2:25, 3:44-3:56). • How to Secure Retainers: • Communicate Value: Position the retainer as beneficial to the brand, focusing on how it solves their problems rather than your need for consistent income (4:09-4:45, 9:02-9:13). • Demonstrate Reliability: Brands look for creators who deliver on time, communicate well, follow directions, are easy to work with, and take feedback constructively (6:59-7:14). • Make the Brand Look Good: Delivering excellent content makes the brand's team members look good to their superiors, increasing your likelihood of being hired (7:25-7:37). • Common Length: Most common retainer lengths are 3 to 6 months, though some can be on a rolling basis (7:49-7:58). • What to Avoid: Be wary of brands that ask for free videos with the promise of a retainer later, as this can be a "carrot dangle" to get free content (5:31-5:56). Instead, counter with an offer for one paid video at your normal rate to test performance (6:03-6:20).
