In this episode, Travis is joined in the studio by his producer, Eric, for a candid conversation about minimum wage, economic realities, and the mindset needed to earn more in today's world. Rather than offering easy political answers, Travis and Eric explore the complexity of wage policy, small business economics, and personal responsibility. The discussion blends practical entrepreneurship insights with honest reflections on the challenges many people face when trying to make a living—and why building valuable skills may be the most reliable path to higher income. On this episode we talk about: The economic ripple effects of raising minimum wage on small businesses Why increased wages can lead to higher prices and reduced buying power The tension between entrepreneurial thinking and systemic economic challenges How innovation and entrepreneurship can create value where others see none Why developing skills, knowledge, and relationships is the best long-term income strategy Top 3 Takeaways Increasing minimum wage can unintentionally squeeze small business margins, often forcing companies to raise prices—ultimately reducing the purchasing power of higher wages. The most reliable way to earn more isn't demanding higher pay—it's increasing the value you bring to the marketplace through skills, knowledge, and innovation. While economic systems are complex and imperfect, individuals can still improve their financial future by focusing on what they can control: learning, building relationships, and creating value. Notable Quotes "You deserve to get paid based on the value you bring to the marketplace." "Life doesn't owe you your dream life—you have to go build it." "There are a few things the economy can't take from you: your knowledge, your skill set, and your relationships."

Nobody talks about Sudan. Focusing on truth will always lead to good things. Increasing the people's knowledge is the key. Lots of taxpayer money goes to stabilize the world. The way this money is used is always suspect. How important is Sudan? Both the ICC and the UN make moves to control it's shores. And Russia needed a port, so they're involved in a big way. Sudan had many assets like gold, water, oil and farmland. Did we mention Niobium? Why do the people have nothing? Average age is 19. Who decided Africa would stay hungry? How do you make foreign aid work. Cindy McCain is finally out. Sieges, war and starving masses. The international community ignores it all. The British structure was designed to extract resources. Export corridors are called development. Keeping them hungry enough to manage. 85 billion in food imports annually. 60% of our planet's farm ready land is in Africa. It's a dirty guns for gold operation. The UAE is evil. Some of this was on Hunter's laptop. Beijing holds a lien on Sudan's production capacity. Do we have the will to change? A double win is within reach. It seems impossible to believe, but our country's future is closely tied to Africa.

Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson has announced a plan to add 1,000 shelter beds to address the city's growing homelessness problem. However, concrete details regarding the execution and funding of this ambitious project remain scarce. Wilson aims to utilize tiny home villages, proposing legislation to streamline permitting and encourage community involvement. While forwarding three legislative pieces, including easing lease agreements and allocating $4.5 million, concerns linger about the plan's overall financial viability. Increasing the size of tiny home villages is part of the strategy, yet residents in areas like the Central District express a need for safety and guidelines. This initiative sparks debate on effective solutions for Seattle's homelessness crisis, the role of city leadership, and financial responsibility. The homeless plan and Seattle's future are at stake. Seattle, Katie Wilson, homelessness, tiny homes.

XRP Rails Activated | Trump Cyber Strategy & Banks Not Ready The financial system may be entering a new phase. The White House has released a new Cyber Strategy for America, and it explicitly identifies cryptocurrency and blockchain as technologies the United States must secure and lead globally. At the same time, the XRP ecosystem continues expanding across institutional finance. Recent developments include: • Ripple Prime clients gaining access to Coinbase Derivatives markets • SEC staff guidance making it easier for broker-dealers to treat certain stablecoins like cash • Ripple continuing to build infrastructure across global financial rails • Increasing institutional engagement with blockchain settlement networks Meanwhile the geopolitical backdrop continues shifting. Iran tensions are escalating, defense production is ramping, and global political alignments are evolving — all while financial infrastructure is quietly being rebuilt. The question now is: What role will crypto play in the next global financial system? Tonight Jeff and Chip break down the intersection of: • XRP and institutional infrastructure • Crypto policy and national cyber strategy • Stablecoin adoption by financial institutions • Global geopolitical developments impacting finance • The evolving architecture of the banking system If you want to understand how crypto, geopolitics, and the financial system are converging, this is the stream to watch.

How many times must I say this, but I would hate to be a Democrat today.And every day that I say this, the worst things get for Democrats. There is always blood in the water, and Trump is a great white shark. The biggest and baddest. Democrats are seals who can't see Trump lurking in the deep water. There is truly no good news for Democrats. I know, because I have looked for it.The economy. Improving. Gas prices. Down. Inflation. Controlled. Jobs. Increasing. [X] SB – Scott Jennings on Trump bombing IranAll their sacred cows are getting slaughtered. I mentioned this the other day when I sat in for a friend's show.For Democrats to maintain their optimism, they are either high or delusional.Do an analysis of their situation, and show me anything where they win.ICE? I know the rumor; ICE is too heavy-handed. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The March 4 edition of the AgNet News Hour featured an energetic and insightful conversation with Stephanie Nash, a dairy farmer, agriculture advocate, and social media influencer who is working to bridge the gap between farmers and consumers. Hosts Nick Papagni and Josh McGill welcomed Nash to discuss her journey from California's Central Valley to Tennessee and her growing role as a national voice for agriculture. Nash grew up in Reedley, California, attending Emmanuel High School before her family relocated to Tennessee in 2013. There, the Nash family built a new dairy operation that has grown into a diversified agricultural business. Today, Nash Family Farms includes a dairy, creamery, cheese plant, farm tours, and even a coffee shop designed to connect consumers with agriculture. Her rise as an agricultural advocate began during the COVID-19 pandemic. Nash noticed misinformation about farming circulating online and felt farmers were often on the defensive in public conversations. She decided to use social media to explain what farmers actually do, debunk myths about food production, and share honest stories about life on a dairy farm. The approach resonated with audiences, leading to national media appearances and a growing following interested in learning more about agriculture. A major focus of Nash's advocacy is education. She regularly hosts farm tours for visitors—many of whom have never stepped foot on a farm before. By showing people firsthand how animals are cared for and how food is produced, Nash hopes to rebuild trust between farmers and consumers. She believes honesty and transparency are critical to strengthening agriculture's public image. The discussion also touched on the future of farming. Nash expressed concern about the shrinking number of dairy operations across the United States and the lack of younger farmers entering the industry. With fewer than 24,000 dairies remaining nationwide, she believes the industry must focus on stronger advocacy, better marketing, and improved policy representation to ensure long-term sustainability. Nash also emphasized the need for more farmers involved in policymaking. Too often, she said, agriculture policy is shaped by individuals who have never worked on a farm. Increasing farmer representation in government, she argues, could lead to better decisions for rural communities and the nation's food system. Despite the challenges facing agriculture, Nash remains optimistic. Her message to farmers across the country is simple: share your story, advocate for your practices, and help bring the next generation into agriculture. The future of farming, she says, depends on it.

Despite being at the backbone of our health system, primary care in Aotearoa is facing unprecedented struggles.That's according to a recent study looking at six wealthy countries healthcare systems, including New Zealand's. An Increasing shortage of GP's, with the marjority of the workforce planning to retire in the next 10 years, an ageing population of patients, along with outdated and disconnected degital systems hampering the streamline transfer of patients between health organisations is putting unprecedented strain on the system, increasing wait times, and worsining outcomes. To discuss their study and dig into their solutions I spoke to one of the study's researchers, Professor Felicity Goodyear-Smith from the Department of General Practice and Primary Healthcare.

The IfG DevoLab is dedicated to exploring the innovations enabled by devolution, learning from the results, and sharing the lessons so that places can take better decisions about how to use devolved powers and budgets. On 25 February, in Manchester, we held our fourth IfG DevoLab event, where three speakers set out how the powers and profile of mayors are being used to increase the supply of affordable homes within their regions. The three case studies presented at IfG DevoLab #4 were: ‘Increasing the supply of affordable homes in the West of England', by Stephen Peacock, Chief Executive of the West of England Combined Authority ‘From housing growth to good growth - experiences delivering housing growth in Greater Manchester', by Andrew McIntosh, Director of Sustainable Growth & Infrastructure at Greater Manchester Combined Authority ‘Supporting regions to increase the supply of affordable homes', by Jackie Rigby, Assistant Director - Place, Partnerships and Capacity at Homes England The three speakers were joined by Ben Denton, Head of Strategic Growth – Affordable Housing at L&G, for a broader discussion of the benefits of devolution and mayoral leadership for this agenda, how mayors can support the government make progress toward its challenging house-building targets, and how further devolution could help accelerate the supply of affordable homes. This event was chaired by Akash Paun, Programme Director at the Institute for Government. Insights from this discussion will inform a published policy briefing containing the three case studies and a synthesis of key lessons. The Institute for Government would like to thank L&G for its support of this event and for its wider support of the IfG DevoLab series.

Why do you order pizza, pour a glass of wine, or reach for chocolate or chips when you're not actually hungry?It may not be about willpower. And it may not even be about food.In this episode, Lisa Oldson, MD explains how distress tolerance, your ability to sit with uncomfortable emotions without immediately trying to escape them, may be the missing link in sustainable weight loss and healthy habit change.Drawing from research in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dr. Oldson walks you through how increasing psychological flexibility can reduce impulsive eating, late-night snacking, emotional eating, and even binge behaviors.You'll learn:What distress tolerance really is (and what it's not)Why cravings are often about emotional discomfort, not hungerHow urge surfing works to reduce impulsive eatingA simple 5-minute daily practice to build emotional enduranceHow to use TIP skills to calm your nervous system during intense cravingsWhy delaying a binge by even 5 minutes is meaningful progressWhat real improvement looks like (hint: not perfection)If you feel like you “know what to do” but struggle to actually do it, this episode will help you understand why, and give you practical tools to finally make healthy habits stick.Thanks for listening!

Show Notes HOST Melody Hartzler | | Book Appointment AROUND THE TABLE Kara Siedman | ResBiotic In Today's Episode In this episode of the Tables Talk Podcast, Dr. Melody Hartzler sits down with Kara Siedman, RD, CDCES, Director of Partnerships at ResBiotic, to examine how microbiome-driven physiology intersects with hormonal transitions during perimenopause and menopause. As estrogen and progesterone fluctuate and decline, women experience predictable shifts in metabolic regulation, immune signaling, and inflammatory burden. Increasing evidence suggests these changes are tightly linked to alterations in gut microbial diversity, intestinal barrier integrity, and microbial metabolite production. This conversation explores the gut–hormone axis through a mechanistic lens, highlighting how microbiome dysfunction may amplify symptoms such as blood sugar instability, weight gain, estrogen dominance, gastrointestinal distress, and genitourinary changes. Kara draws on clinical experience and emerging research to clarify why many hormonally driven symptoms occur in the absence of overt disease on conventional testing. The episode emphasizes perimenopause as a critical intervention window—one in which targeted dietary, lifestyle, and microbiome-supportive strategies may meaningfully influence long-term cardiometabolic and immune health. Key Takeaways Hormonal decline during perimenopause is closely linked to reduced microbiome diversity and resilience Estrogen loss impacts intestinal barrier function, inflammation, and metabolic regulation The estrobolome plays a central role in estrogen metabolism and symptom expression Microbiome-targeted interventions may reduce cardiometabolic risk during menopause Diet, fiber diversity, and precision biotics are foundational tools for supporting this transition Episode Highlights Hormonal Transitions & the Gut–Hormone Axis Estrogen and progesterone fluctuations in perimenopause Bidirectional signaling between endocrine function and the microbiome Declining microbial diversity and reduced short-chain fatty acid production Inflammation, Metabolism, and Insulin Resistance Metabolic endotoxemia and LPS-driven inflammation Microbiome contributions to blood sugar dysregulation and weight gain Links between dysbiosis, immune activation, and chronic disease risk The Estrobolome & Estrogen Metabolism Beta-glucuronidase activity and estrogen deconjugation Microbial reactivation of estrogen and clinical implications Estrogen dominance, elimination pathways, and gut health Vaginal Microbiome & Genitourinary Health Estrogen-dependent Lactobacillus depletion Increased risk of UTIs and yeast infections Gut–vaginal microbiome crosstalk and clinical considerations Clinical Interventions to Support Microbiome Resilience Mediterranean-style dietary patterns and plant diversity Fiber intake, resistant starch, prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics Stress, sleep disruption, medications, and microbiome vulnerability Precision supplementation during the menopausal transition

Watch… https://youtu.be/D0-y8Q-DYvg About this episode… For decades, advisors operated under the assumption that there was a single path to success—a defined route dominated by the largest and most prominent firms. Over time, the landscape of options expanded, and the independent space matured. With it came a new set of challenges: how to turn the pursuit of freedom and control into something durable, scalable, and ultimately into a true enterprise. Jim Dickson has been thinking through that challenge for most of his career. After two decades at Merrill, Jim went on to found Sanctuary Wealth (a story we shared earlier in this series), where he played a central role in shaping what supportive independence could look like for growing advisory teams. Today, his own journey has entered a new chapter with Elevation Point—a next-generation independent platform focused on helping advisors take business ownership to a new level, with alignment, scalability, and long-term value at the core. In this episode, Jim and Louis Diamond talk about what led Jim to this new chapter, including: Elevation Point's unique value proposition—and how it fills a gap in the landscape. The value of capital—and how Elevation Point adds value along the way. Increasing enterprise value—and what advisors can do to grow without sacrificing control. Ownership and alignment—and why “how much of the pie you actually own” becomes more important as firms grow. Growth and partnership—and what it really means to build a firm intentionally over time. AI, data, and technology—and how each can support better decision-making. This is a story about yet another evolution in the landscape of options available to advisors—and why the future of independence is less about exits and more about elevation.

This episode, I spoke with Seth Ariel Green, a research scientist at the Humane and Sustainable Food Lab at Stanford university. He recently published a meta-analysis called “Meaningfully reducing consumption of meat and animal products is an unsolved problem” (EA Forum summary here) where he reviewed over 30 papers and hundreds of interventions on the topic. Seth also writes about the science of meat reduction on his Substack, called Regression to the Meat, which I highly recommend checking out for some accessible and fun to read writing about meat reduction.We talk about why Seth is more sceptical than most about plant-based defaults, what actually works when it comes to changing people's food choices, why some research in this space is misleading and new interventions to shape diets and food choices that he is excited about. Chapters:(00:00:00) Cold intro(00:00:53) Introduction to Seth and his work(00:05:38) What are defaults and why is Seth sceptical(00:19:55) The best paper on defaults - what does it mean for advocates?(00:28:50) What does the research on meat reduction say?(00:34:25) Is 5 percentage points a small or big change in meat consumption?(00:43:20) What actually works in reducing meat consumption?(00:50:18) Potential interventions that Seth is excited aboutResources:Seth's blog Wayne Hsiung's New Yorker interviewGinn, J., & Sparkman, G.

Two dog attacks in as many weeks has put dog control laws back in the spotlight. Mihiata Te Rore was killed by three dogs while visiting a property in the Northland settlement of Kaihu. A few days later a father was seriously injured while protecting his son from a dog attack at a property they were visiting in Christchurch. In a small seaside settlement on the outskirts of Tauranga, the residents have been wrestling with an increasing number of aggressive dogs for years. Reporter Natalie Akoorie went on a walkabout.

Fatty liver disease is the most common liver disorder, driven by obesity, Type 2 diabetes, and insulin resistance. It often progresses silently for years before symptoms appear Niacin helps your body use energy better. It turns down a molecule called microRNA-93, which normally blocks two key proteins that help your cells make energy and burn fat. By restoring those proteins, niacin helps your mitochondria work more efficiently. This shift supports fat burning in your liver instead of fat storage Higher niacin intake has been linked to reduced liver fat, lower inflammation, improved insulin sensitivity, better cholesterol levels, and reduced long-term mortality in fatty liver patients Niacinamide is the better choice compared to niacin because of its function as an NAD+ precursor. The ideal dosage is 50 milligrams three times a day, ideally in powder form for precise intake. Niacinamide also doesn't cause skin flushing Increasing choline intake is the best way to manage fatty liver disease. Research shows it helps transport fat out of the liver. While there are several types of choline supplements available, citicoline is the preferred one because of its high bioavailability

Not that long ago many church-going Americans saw Russia as a godless place, an “evil empire” in the words of Ronald Reagan. But in President Trump's second term, US-Russia relations have been turned on their head. Last year, the White House sided with the Kremlin at the United Nations, voting against a resolution to condemn Russia's invasion of Ukraine.This seismic shift is also being felt in parishes across America. Increasing numbers of US Catholics and Protestants are embracing Eastern Orthodoxy. Many converts disillusioned by the showbiz elements in many megachurches, say they are drawn to a faith with enduring traditions. Some, uneasy with social and demographic change, believe the churches they were raised in have lost their authority by going “woke” – shorthand for supporting equal marriage, female clergy, pro-choice, Black Lives Matter and other liberal issues.Some converts have hundreds of thousands of followers online, and push Kremlin narratives that Russia is the world's last bastion of true Christianity - a few of the most radical have even emigrated there. Last year, Lucy Ash went to Texas – one of the most religious states in the US – to meet some new converts.This episode of The Documentary comes to you from Assignment, investigations and journeys into the heart of global events.

In this episode, I talk with Dr. Alice Shillingsburg about her work on rapport building and pairing procedures in applied behavior analysis for children with autism. We explore how building therapeutic rapport goes beyond simply "liking someone," emphasizing the importance of establishing trust and engagement to facilitate learning, especially when tasks are challenging. Alice explains the nine-stage pairing protocol she developed and highlights how careful timing, observation, and reinforcement choices can make pairing effective. We discuss the significance of observing children's approach behaviors to understand their preferences and keep therapy engaging, as well as how instructional fading can gradually increase task difficulty without creating aversive experiences. During our conversation, we took a quick sidebar to talk about the upcoming Verbal Behavior Conference. This is a conference like none other. Whether you participate online or make the short drive to Austin, you'll be treated to very in-depth talks about generative learning for individuals with Autism and related disabilities. Learn more and register here. We also dive into practical applications — how pairing and instructional procedures can be adapted in real-world therapy settings, while still maintaining their effectiveness. Alice talks about data collection strategies for engagement and behavior, including the importance of tracking approach behaviors, avoidance, and other signals of a child's readiness. Finally, we consider the sustainability of pairing procedures over time and potential directions for future research, including investigating methods of instructional fading and tracking gestural communication development in children with autism.

Life does not move in straight lines. Plans change. People leave. Seasons shift. Pressure arrives without warning. In Built for Disruption, we examine the reality that disruption is not something to avoid but something to prepare for. This episode unpacks a foundational truth: when pressure hits, you do not rise to the occasion. You fall back on your preparation. Adaptability is not discovered in crisis. It is built in calm seasons through daily discipline, structure, and intentional discomfort. We explore how disruption reveals what you have actually built your life on. If stability depends on comfort or outcomes, disruption will shake you. If identity is tied to a role or title, disruption will threaten you. But when identity is anchored in values and reinforced by consistent discipline, disruption becomes a refining force rather than a destructive one. This conversation also introduces practical steps for building capacity. Protecting non negotiables. Training discomfort on purpose. Separating emotion from identity. Increasing margin before it is required. Deciding who you are before pressure demands it. Leadership maturity is not measured by how well you perform when things are predictable. It is revealed by how steady you remain when everything shifts. Disruption is coming. Preparation is optional. This episode challenges you to choose discipline now so that when life demands hard things later, you are ready. Thank you for joining us on this insightful journey!

Chronic disease isn't just caused by what you eat. In this video, uncover the indoor lighting dangers you probably don't know about! Find out how to stop circadian rhythm disruption, melatonin suppression, and other modern lighting health problems.Download Dr. Berg's Free Daily Health Routine: https://drbrg.co/46POGyB0:00 Introduction: Artificial light health effects1:45 Lux explained2:50 Why indoor lighting is bad for your health4:36 Indoor lighting and melatonin suppression4:57 Indoor lighting and sleep7:44 How to improve sleep and reduce circadian rhythm disruptionLight affects the circadian system, which in turn influences your mood, metabolism, hormones, sleep, and more. The circadian rhythm is a clock controlled by light and dark signals. In our modern-day environment, the days are too dim and the nights are too bright. During the day, sunlight is filtered through glass, preventing exposure to UV and infrared light, and at night, we're exposed to LED lights, TVs, phones, and tablets. We're dealing with a lack of contrast! Historically, humans were exposed to significantly more light during the day and minimal light at night. Modern lighting leads to melatonin suppression and affects your sleep and cortisol levels. Most people are not getting the restful sleep that they need. This affects the metabolism, insulin, blood sugar, and mood. Research has shown that bright nighttime light exposure can increase your risk of type 2 diabetes. Increasing sunlight exposure alone can improve your blood sugar, while evening bright light exposure can worsen it. Constant lighting is even considered psychologically harmful. Humans have evolved with significantly more light contrast, so we're dealing with an ancestral mismatch. To restore your circadian rhythm and combat the harmful effects of indoor lighting, try the following:1. Make your days aggressively brightEnsure adequate sun exposure before noon, and avoid wearing sunglasses. 2. Make the night genuinely dark Turn off overhead lighting, use soft night-lights, and dim screens 3 hours before bed.3. Restore contrast Focus on bright light during the day and remove light sources from your room at night. Replace light bulbs with incandescent lights if possible. Addressing the problems with modern light is one of the easiest ways to improve sleep naturally and restore your circadian rhythm.
