Adam Butcher joins Brian Nichols to reveal what's actually driving your electricity bill higher and why blaming data centers and AI misses the real story about America's energy supply.Everybody's pointing at the data centers. Adam isn't.He's the President and Managing Partner of Basin Ventures. He's managed over $1.25 billion in oil and gas projects for more than 50 players in the industry and deployed over $500 million into minerals and royalties. He's a land guy - leases, title, ownership - which means he sees the part of this story nobody on cable news covers.And he came on with a number that stopped me cold. The Strategic Petroleum Reserve is at its lowest level since 1983. Roughly 35 days of cover. Draining every single week. Adam's take? Cheap oil is a mirage... and we've been hiding that with artificial levers instead of taking our medicine.So I brought him the stat sheet. Retail electricity up 7% in 2025. Up roughly 40% since 2021. Utilities requested $31 billion in rate hikes in 2025 versus $15 billion the year before. Another $9.4 billion in Q1 of 2026 alone. Virginia has 663 data centers, Texas has 405, together over a quarter of every data center in the country.And Adam looked at all of it and called data centers the new boogeyman.We get into Venezuela and why 2028 is the real timeline. We get into why he says he's always made more money under Democrats than Republicans. We get into the LNG export shutdown, ERCOT's grid math, Zuckerberg's city-sized facility outside Shreveport, and why he moved his fund to 50/50 oil and gas betting on a 2027 boom.Meet people where they're at.

A leaked memo from the campaign arm of Senate Republicans says data centers are "the anchor hanging around Jon Husted's neck." That is not opposition research. That is the National Republican Senatorial Committee, in writing, to artificial intelligence companies. This week, Ohio politics ran through one issue: data centers, and who pays for them. Host Radell Lewis breaks down the leaked NRSC memo, the OpenAI data center in Piketon, the tax exemption that missed its own state estimate by eleven times over, and the Ohio Attorney General race almost nobody is covering. Every figure is sourced on air. WHAT IS IN THIS EPISODE: OpenAI confirmed on August 17 that it is joining the PORTS Pike Technology Campus in Pike County, projecting roughly 35,000 construction jobs through 2032 and 2,500 long term positions. The power source is the story under the story: a $33 billion, 9.2 gigawatt on site natural gas facility. The math that paused the tax break: Ohio's Department of Taxation estimated the data center sales and use tax exemption would cost about $136 million in 2025. The actual cost was about $1.6 billion, eleven times the estimate, plus $166.8 million out of local budgets. Governor DeWine paused new requests on May 27. The other side of the ledger is real too: exempted facilities reported $27.2 billion in capital investment in 2025. Two Ohio Supreme Court energy rulings pointing opposite directions, Vivek Ramaswamy's nearly $700,000 private jet bill, the Utica police partnership with ICE, the Clermont County Flock camera case, and the absentee rule change that will cost Ohio voters their ballots. The four day grace period for ballots postmarked by Election Day is gone. Postmarked is no longer good enough. The Ohio Attorney General race is an open seat: Keith Faber, Republican and current State Auditor, against John Kulewicz, Democrat and retired Vorys partner. What the office controls, including the power to certify or reject the summary language on a citizen ballot initiative before anyone collects a signature, and the sharpest split between them, the FirstEnergy corruption case. And the marquee: the NRSC memo calls the Senate race a "dead heat," citing private polling it has not released. The most recent public poll, Fox News in the field August 6 to 10 with 1,008 registered Ohio voters, shows Sherrod Brown at 53 and Jon Husted at 45. Both cannot be right.

CORRECTIONS: Local governments lost $166.8 million to the data center exemption, not $166.8 billion. Keith Faber's auditor record includes 229 findings for recovery totaling more than $20 million, not $20 billion, and 247 criminal charges against public officials. Those are his reported record as State Auditor, not campaign proposals.

In this episode of *With the Wind with Dr. Paul*, Dr. Paul Thomas is joined by pediatrician Larry Palevsky, M.D. for a wide-ranging conversation on keeping kids healthy and safe over the summer, covering sunburns and sun exposure, wound care and tetanus, firework and burn safety, water safety, diet and free play, and a home first-aid kit built around homeopathy and tissue salts.

What if the most important part of your financial plan has nothing to do with the numbers on your statement? In this episode of the Registered Investment Advisor Podcast, Seth Greene interviews Mitch Hamer, Founder and Lead Advisor at Intersecting Wealth, who shares how his psychologically informed approach helps high-net-worth families navigate money across multiple generations. Drawing on his background in psychology, Mitch explains why the most impactful conversations rarely revolve around spreadsheets and how “life-informed” planning better reflects clients' real goals, stories, and risk capacity. He also discusses evolving the business from a trusted practice into an enduring enterprise while adapting to AI, shifting client expectations, and a rapidly changing wealth landscape. Key Takeaways:→ How life, psychology, behavior, and money shape every client's decision.→ More client breakthroughs come from conversations about biases, fears, and dreams than from portfolio models.→ How estate planning, account titling, and goal-setting are often underserved, and each entity in a complex family structure deserves its own balance sheet with clear objectives.→ What life-informed planning looks like in practice and why a one-size-fits-all model can cause advisors to miss what truly matters to clients.→ Why LinkedIn and content creation are key to Intersecting Wealth's next chapter. Mitch Hamer is the Founder and Lead Advisor at Intersecting Wealth. He values guiding families through the comprehensive financial planning process. Given his approach, which is more psychological and behavioral than financial, Mitch enjoys helping families zoom out on what gets too much attention, zoom in on what is largely ignored by advisors, and then pull it all together. He finds being on the journey with families as they find clarity around their goals and dreams, and supporting them in implementation, uniquely rewarding. Prior to founding Intersecting Wealth in 2024, Mitch spent the previous eleven years as a Financial Advisor to high-net-worth individuals and families.Connect With Mitch:Website: https://intersectingwealth.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mitchellphamer/

Ohio has an open race for Secretary of State for the first time since 2018, and almost nobody is watching it. Republican Treasurer Robert Sprague faces Democratic state Rep. Allison Russo, with Libertarian Tom Pruss also on the November 3 ballot. This episode breaks down what the office actually controls, where both candidates stand, and the Issue 3 disagreement that split the Democratic ticket in public. On August 7, Democratic governor nominee Dr. Amy Acton announced she supports Issue 3, the voter ID amendment. Allison Russo voted against the resolution that put it on the ballot and called it flawed and fast tracked. Robert Sprague supports it. If you are an Ohio Democrat, your nominee for governor and your nominee for Secretary of State are telling you opposite things about the same ballot question. Both arguments are laid out here at their strongest. Also covered: Ohio's kratom ban, and the company that told a Columbus judge it was selling roughly 59,000 bottles a day in this state. Gov. Mike DeWine's recovery housing executive order, and the jump from 356 recovery houses in 2022 to more than 1,700 today. The Ohio Supreme Court ruling that makes it harder for local councils to fast track a data center, and what it means in Ashville, Trenton, and Butler County. Springfield, temporary protected status, and a Republican governor asking a Republican president to change course. An Ohio 7 update, including the White House reversing course on Max Miller. And Ohio 6, where Rep. Michael Rulli filed 22 stock trades past the STOCK Act deadline. Every claim carries a named source, out loud, at the moment it is made.

In this episode, Jed welcomes back author and educator Kelly Tooman to celebrate her new picture book, "The Birthday Triplets and the Pony Race Adventure." Kelly, who spent many years in Montessori education and now leads virtual creative writing workshops, shares how her background shaped this whimsical, heart-centered story. The book follows triplets Cookie, Candy, and Coco, who live with their magical Granny Rosie and travel to an adventure factory where they bring birthday joy to someone who is sad or lonely. Kelly explains that this particular adventure centers on forgiveness and empathy. When Candy faces a mean-spirited rival in a pony race, she must decide whether to ignore his distress or stop to help him, even though he tried to ruin the race. That choice opens the door to powerful family conversations about kindness, compassion, and doing the right thing when it's hard. Throughout the conversation, Jed and Kelly talk passionately about the importance of reading physical books, nurturing imagination, and giving kids unstructured playtime. Kelly praises Montessori's multi-age, curiosity-driven approach and voices concern about how screens, over-scheduling, and early academic pressure can erode children's focus, creativity, and joy. Later, Jed is joined by attorney and author Ted Sutton, who introduces his middle grade book "Greenback's Book of Law: Everything You Need to Know as Told by a Friendly Dog." Ted shares how his golden doodle narrator helps kids (and parents!) understand contracts, civics, voting, and everyday law in an accessible way—filling a gap left by traditional schooling and empowering families to be informed, engaged citizens.

Mike Thompson is a fifth-generation farmer in West Texas who grew up in conventional "cotton-on-cotton" country. After leaving the farm for 16 years, he returned to face the region's harsh climate, hot winds, and declining water reserves. His perspective shifted during his first year back when his plow hit a patch of decomposing hay on pasture land, effortlessly slicing through moist mud instead of pulling up massive dirt clods. Today, Mike manages a resilient operation by rotating corn, wheat with summer cover crop mixes, and cotton, while dividing his pivot irrigation fields into thirds to optimize water efficiency. By incorporating livestock grazing and multi-species covers like sunn hemp, he has built rich soil structure, eliminated synthetic plant growth regulators, and produced his highest-yielding cotton crops even during severe dry spells. In this episode, John and Mike discuss: Navigating landlord relationships by splitting fields into thirds for consistent annual cotton income and incorporating vegetable species in cover crop mixes. The crucial role of deep pre-watering before planting to build subsoil moisture reserves for late-summer heat. Haney soil test results showing 57 pounds of available nitrogen remaining after harvesting a heavy three-bale cotton crop. Plant physiological changes under regenerative management, including dark green, dinner-plate-sized leaves that act as massive solar panels. Using AEA sap analysis to track how a targeted spring boron application activated a massive mid-season surge in boron, calcium, and magnesium uptake. Testing handheld Croptix sensors for instant field data and utilizing FieldLark AI to analyze root zone nutrient mobility. Mike's advice on the intense scouting, preparation, and attention to detail needed to succeed in regenerative agriculture.

Four institutions told this administration no. Four times, the answer was to find another door. This week on Purple Political Breakdown: the Senate confirmed Todd Blanche, Trump's former criminal defense attorney, as Attorney General by a vote of 50 to 49 at 4:31 in the morning on a Saturday. Bill Cassidy stood on the Senate floor, said the nominee had exempted the President from IRS audits and was running a department that sues the President's political enemies, and then voted yes anyway. We follow the money to Greenland, where a Texas oil company tied to Trump's circle landed drilling equipment the Greenlandic government never authorized, and got a public rebuke for it two days before Trump posted an AI image of himself looming over a Greenlandic village. Plus the DC Circuit blocking the White House ballroom 2 to 1, with the court reminding the President that he is a temporary tenant, not the owner. Then the story nobody covered correctly: roughly $100 billion in tariff refunds went back out the door after the Supreme Court struck the Liberation Day tariffs. Apple got $2.2 billion. Ford got $1.3 billion. Amazon got $600 million. You got nothing, because only the importer of record can file a claim, and the German Kiel Institute found that American importers and their customers ate 96 percent of the cost. The $2,000 rebate checks never happened. We break down the two birthright citizenship executive orders Trump signed on August 6, six weeks after losing at the Supreme Court in Trump v. Barbara, including the part almost no outlet caught: the citizenship order will be litigated for a year, but the visa order is already running through consulates where there is almost no judicial review. In Research on a Dime, David Crowley beat Francesca Hong by four tenths of a point in Wisconsin, and we get into what that actually says about DSA momentum in the Democratic Party, including Hong separating herself from the national platform on camera. Plus Peggy Flanagan, Andy Ogles losing a Trump endorsed primary, Iowa, and Markey against Moulton. And the main event: a real breakdown of what AIPAC is. Not the vibes version. The four separate entities, the difference between AIPAC PAC and the United Democracy Project super PAC, and the answer to the question nobody gets right. Haley Stevens could not have refused that $30 million even if she wanted to. Neither could Abdul El Sayed refuse his $2.3 million. We walk through the three legal buckets, why AIPAC is not a foreign entity under FARA, what the actual history of that argument is, and why the honest fix here is campaign finance reform rather than a FARA designation that is not going to happen without evidence. Good news to close: gene edited hypoallergenic beagles, real progress on HIV and AIDS, motor improvements in boys with muscular dystrophy, the first mRNA flu vaccine approved, Google's AI buying hurricane forecasters an extra day, a much larger ancient Amazon civilization than anyone expected, and NASA engineers fighting for ten watts on a 49 year old spacecraft 13 billion miles away. Data centers, water usage, energy usage and jobs are coming next week. Political Solutions Without Political Bias.

Housing is one of the biggest line items on just about any retirement budget. Whether you're still paying a mortgage, looking to escalate your payment schedule so you can retire debt-free, or thinking about relocating or buying a vacation home, where you live plays a significant role in how you spend your time, who you spend it with, and what your financial plan looks like.  On today's show, we group together some common questions about managing mortgages that we've received from seniors in our Keen on Retirement audience. 

This was one of the most special podcast episodes I've recorded to date, especially since it was the first time it was recorded LIVE! We gathered for GALILEA's Gathering — an intimate evening that brought together clinicians, researchers, founders, and facilitators for a real conversation about the future of women's health. I had the privilege of recording a live interview with neuropharmacologist and GALILEA creator Stephanie Karzon right there in the room, surrounded by people who are genuinely building something new A core focus of our conversation was mapping out why hormones and life stages are important to factor into female care and why they're especially needed for the psychedelic experience, from a biochemical perspective and for the lived experience. A psychedelic-informed lens in women's care has now become non-negotiable; since clients will likely explore these medicines with or without capable practitioners willing to guide them. And let's face it, current pharmacotherapy isn't enough. Identity and spirituality matter in clinical practice. We need to bring hormone and cycle awareness into practice, as well as the relationship between estrogen, serotonin, glutamate, and psychedelic medicine. Stephanie Karzon Abrams is a clinical neuropharmacologist, founder of Beyond Consulting—powering the integrative and psychedelic medicine spaces by bridging emerging research with clinical practice, and designing clinics and healing centers from the ground up. She serves as Clinical Director at Mystic Health, is an associated prescriber of MDMA and psilocybin therapy under Canada's SAP, and is the Research Director at the Microdosing Collective non profit. Stephanie believes in the undercurrent of joy and authenticity woven into the fabric of our existence, and thus creates talks and workshops where the human experience is explored through the lenses of science, culture, and celebration. With experience in neurology, intensive care, and medical devices at Johnson & Johnson, she is a recognized leader in innovative healthcare. Her work bridges neuroscience, women's health, plant medicine, and the healing power of music. A musician, writer, and speaker, Stephanie also builds community through gatherings rooted in music and meaning through her label Public Secret.

Nancy Verdezoto-Feijoo spent 15 years as a reporter and editor in Ecuador before landing in Manitoba as marketing manager at IHT Group, which builds heating, cooling, and lighting systems for the swine industry. She argues the newsroom taught her the one skill industrial marketers most often skip: listen before you speak. Her buyers are technical, deeply experienced, and allergic to buzzwords, and they talk to each other, which means a single bad experience travels faster than any campaign. Nancy walks Jeff and Carman through months-long buying cycles, why proof beats claims, and why she treats marketing as a growth function rather than a support function.

Football's back. And on the first day of the 2026 preseason, Josh and Bob take one of the oldest lines in coaching and point it straight at leadership.Good teams don't win on trick plays. They win because they run the routine plays routinely. Block, tackle, catch the ball, do it again next week, do it while everybody else is chasing something clever.So what are the routine plays of leadership? The habits that quietly work when you do them consistently and quietly fall apart when you don't?Bob made a list. Josh made a list. Bob's was longer, and he made sure everybody knew it.

Ohio's 7th Congressional District has a deadline, and it lands Monday afternoon. Rep. Max Miller let the 90 day withdrawal mark pass on Wednesday, which killed any chance of a special primary. That leaves August 10 as the last day county party chairs can name a replacement on the ballot, and Cuyahoga County has to give two days notice before that meeting even happens. If Miller withdraws after Monday, there is no Republican on the ballot against Democrat Brian Poindexter. Meanwhile a co/efficient poll circulating this week has Miller down 14, Sen. Bernie Moreno says Miller fails any basic standard of character for elected office, and Sen. Jon Husted has called on him to resign and drop out. Speaker Mike Johnson says the Ethics Committee process has to play out. This episode walks the clock, the record, and the Republican split. Then the main event: your entire statewide ballot, office by office. What the governor actually controls. What the Secretary of State actually controls, and what Robert Sprague says he wants to do with it, including a front end citizenship check, photo ID, and his stated interest in Ohio returning to in person voting. What the Attorney General decides. What the Auditor audits, and why that office sits on the Ohio Redistricting Commission. Plus the race that gets the deepest dive of the night: Treasurer of State, an open seat, where the unclaimed funds question and stadium financing collide. Statehouse Watch covers the JobsOhio board chairman who is a registered lobbyist paid by Intel while the board he chairs disbursed more than two million dollars to that company, what JobsOhio and the governor's office say in response, what the Ohio Ethics Commission says, and the structural reason none of it is illegal. Also, 14 Ohio universities landed on a national free speech watch list, with the national context most coverage leaves out. Research on a Dime explains something almost nobody covers: exactly how an Ohio political party replaces a nominee on the ballot, the 90 day and 86 day marks, the two day notice rule, and what happens when the window closes. Political solutions without political bias. Building a better Ohio on the way to a better America.

Purple Political Breakdown: Political Solutions Without Political Bias. Host Radell Lewis breaks down the week in national politics, Trump corruption, the 2026 midterms, and the stories other coverage is flattening. This week opens with two pieces of audio and the gap between them. Hasan Piker responds to Abdul El-Sayed's Michigan Senate primary win by calling Democrats Islamophobic and relitigating a race that was already over. El-Sayed responds by saying there is more that unites us than divides us and that there are thirteen weeks to beat Mike Rogers. One of those people understands the political landscape. The other is grifting for clout. Radell explains why the difference matters heading into November. Then the debut of a new weekly segment: Follow the Money, This Week in Trump Corruption. Trump Media launched Truth API on August 1, selling financial firms a real-time feed of the President's Truth Social posts milliseconds before the public sees them, at up to 100,000 dollars a month, while Trump holds roughly 41 percent of the company and announces tariffs and military action on that platform first. Warren and Schiff have asked the SEC to investigate. Also covered: Capital One telling a federal judge it closed more than 300 Trump-linked accounts over money laundering concerns, framed accurately as a litigation position rather than a finding, plus the 1.776 billion dollar slush fund and the tax immunity deal at the center of the Todd Blanche confirmation fight. Nuanced News: hackers compromised water systems in twelve states while the President blamed Minnesota, and the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act expires September 30. Blanche advanced out of committee 12 to 10. Elon Musk authorized up to 120 million dollars for America PAC across eight states including Ohio and Michigan, one year after saying he was done with politics. Plus the ADP jobs miss, 25 states suing over tariffs, the Minnesota nudify app ruling, Iran talks, the stalled Gaza roadmap, Colorado River water cuts, and the measles elimination review. Research on a Dime goes deep on Michigan: who Abdul El-Sayed actually is, his real policy positions, the 49 to 47 result, the immediate unity from Haley Stevens and Mallory McMorrow, the down-ballot picture including Michigan 7 and 10, and why the DSA platform is a separate question from El-Sayed himself. Radell lays out why MAGA is the primary enemy, why DSA is not an ally, and why the money story is really a media attention story. Breakdown in the Public: Supreme Court approval hit a record low 33 percent in Gallup polling, driven almost entirely by Republicans defecting after the Court ruled against Trump. Trump approval sits at 32 to 34 across three polls. Plus new data on who Americans actually consider elite. Good News: global hunger fell below 8 percent for a third straight year, the first at-home tick test launches this month, and the Phoenix Species Project puts 200 million dollars behind 100 critically endangered species.

I'm joined this week by Katherine Sigblad, host of the *Mom's Off the Record* podcast and mother of two unvaccinated children in Florida. Katherine brings the perspective of a mom who has thought deeply about these choices — not from theory, but from lived experience. Her eight-week-old daughter's hospital visit tested everything she believed about navigating the medical system, and she came through it with insights worth sharing.

Sue Ann Arnall grew up in Poteau during the cultural revolution of the 60's and 70's. In her hometown she had the formative experience of witnessing her best friend's parents, Dr. and Mrs. John Montgomery, establish the LeFlore County NAACP. After graduating from The University of Tulsa College of Law, she was recruited by the predecessor to Continental Resources to establish and manage the oil and gas marketing departments. There she enjoyed a successful career while raising her two beloved daughters, Jane and Hilary. Following her departure from the oil and gas industry, Arnall set her focus on a new aim—to level the playing field for marginalized individuals by lowering barriers to social and economic mobility. Informed by her early experiences and with the recognition that not all Oklahomans enjoy the same opportunities, she created the Arnall Family Foundation in 2015.   Since its founding, Arnall has invested more than $200 million primarily to improve Oklahoma's foster care system and reduce its unprecedented incarceration rate. To meet the gaps and needs in the current system, she guided the Foundation to create the Diversion Hub, which has assisted thousands in permanently escaping the criminal legal system to lead productive lives. Arnall also serves on the Oklahoma County Jail Trust, leading efforts for a new state-of-the-art facility that meets the government's responsibility for public safety while also providing necessary diversion and rehabilitation services. Ancillary to her work, she strives to educate the public on policies that contribute unjust treatment and trap disenfranchised individuals in a cycle of incarceration. https://www.arnallfamilyfoundation.org/ Huge thank you to our sponsors.

What if the way to get big money out of politics is to make every voter a donor? In this episode I sit down with Dan McMillan, a historian, former Brooklyn prosecutor, and founder of Make Voters the Donors, to break down his proposed reform called Voter Dollars. The idea, as Dan explains it: every registered voter would get an account of public campaign cash, one hundred dollars in a presidential year and fifty for the midterms, that they can only assign to the candidates they choose. With roughly 174 million registered voters, Dan argues that would give ordinary Americans enough collective giving power to compete with billionaires and special interests. We trace how we got here, from the 1976 Supreme Court decision in Buckley v. Valeo that treated political money as protected speech, through Citizens United and the rise of super PACs. Dan makes his case for why public financing is the reform most likely to survive the courts, and he points to Seattle, which has run a democracy voucher system since 2017 and recently voted to renew it. He also lays out his swing state strategy focused on Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. I press him on the hard questions too: whether tax dollars should fund campaigns while the country runs deep deficits, whether reform should start local rather than national, and whether either party in Washington would ever get behind it. As always, curiosity over confrontation, with the strongest objections handled fairly.

This episode is all about nonviolent homeschool communication — specifically, the patterns that make it harder than it needs to be. Nonviolent homeschool communication starts here — with understanding these old patterns. And there is one book that has shaped how I think about this more than any other. I’ve read a lot of books on relationships, parenting, connection, and attachment over the years — more than I can count. But Marshall Rosenberg’s Nonviolent Communication is the one I keep coming back to. For me, it is the bible of relationships and communication. And it has changed how I show up in my homeschool in ways I didn’t expect. Here’s what it taught me. https://youtu.be/J7kN_HHX52c?si=jZyaiXFDGyilrnsw But first, how does Marshall Rosenberg define nonviolent communication? NVC (aka Nonviolent Communication) is a language of life that helps us transform old patterns of defensiveness and aggressiveness into compassion and empathy and to improve the quality of all of our relationships. (Definition provided by the Center for Non-Violent Communication). We all have old patterns that need to be transformed. And we definitely notice we have reactive, defensive, and aggressive patterns when we attempt to create relationships. Certainly, we notice this when we saturate ourselves in the homeschool parenting role. The 4 NVC Components That Transform Nonviolent Homeschool Communication Observation: Observation without evaluation consists of noticing concrete things and actions around us. We learn to distinguish between judgment and what we sense in the present moment and to simply observe what is there. Feeling: When we notice things around us, we inevitably experience varying emotions and physical sensations in each particular moment. Here, distinguishing feelings from thoughts is an essential step in the NVC process. Needs: All individuals have needs and values that sustain and enrich their lives. When those needs are met, we experience comfortable feelings, like happiness or peacefulness, and when they are not, we experience uncomfortable feelings, like frustration. Understanding that we, as well as those around us, have these needs is perhaps the most important step in learning to practice NVC and live empathically. Request: To make clear and present requests is crucial to NVC's transformative mission. When we learn to request concrete actions that can be carried out in the present moment, we begin to find ways to cooperatively and creatively ensure that everyone's needs are met. (Definitions provided by the Center for Non-Violent Communication). Here’s how each component transforms homeschool communication in real life. Lesson One — The Homeschool Communication Shift That Changes Everything “What I want in my life is compassion, a flow between myself and others based on a mutual giving from the heart.” ― Marshall B. Rosenberg, Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life This is what we all want: we want a flow within ourselves and between us. But we’re not all trained to enable that flow. We have walls built up to defend ourselves; sometimes we even have spikes and landmines built up to defend ourselves. Either way, those defenses don’t build relationships. Vulnerability and authenticity allow relationships to expand and grow. Nonviolent homeschool communication requires this foundation first — self-compassion. And that is an easy thing to say and a less easy thing to do. Big Emotions Journal for the Homeschool Mom Are you a homeschool mom navigating the ups and downs of daily life with your kids?

Shop now Lesson Two — Homeschool Communication and Grace “All violence is the result of people tricking themselves into believing that their pain derives from other people and that consequently, those people deserve to be punished.” ― Marshall B. Rosenberg, Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life We do what we do because that is what we know to do in the scenario at the time. And in the words of Maya Angelou, “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.“ If we have a growth mindset about life and relationships, how we show up will shift over time. Growth changes everything. Over time, we show up differently in the same scenarios — five, ten, or twenty years later — if we choose that path. Looking back in regret and shame is one option. Forgiving ourselves and growing is another. And when we grow humble and self-aware enough, we realize that others aren’t trying to intentionally cause us pain or friction either. Punishment didn’t teach us when we simply didn’t know better. It won’t serve the people engaging us wrongly now either. So we choose grace — the same grace we’d want extended to our own growing selves. This shift in perspective is at the heart of nonviolent homeschool communication. Lesson Three — What Anger Is Really Telling You “At the core of all anger is a need that is not being fulfilled.” ― Marshall B. Rosenberg, Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life Anger is that mighty sharp tip of an iceberg that protects our fragile hearts. It’s a useful tool to self-protect. But it also protects or keeps us from connecting with others if we self-protect too hard. Under the mighty iceberg of anger’s sharp tip is a whole lotta other big emotions. You name the emotion, it’s there. And those emotions are always fueled by our unmet needs. Nonviolent homeschool communication asks us to address those needs directly rather than react to the emotion on the surface. So we need to address our own needs and respectfully request that others meet our needs, so that we don’t spend our lives reactively, angrily demanding others meet our needs, and/or never connecting with ourselves or others. Lesson Four — The Danger of Not Knowing Yourself “We are dangerous when we are not conscious of our responsibility for how we behave, think, and feel.” ― Marshall B. Rosenberg, Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life You know when you’re not a parent and you have heaped judgments on your own parents parenting approaches BUT THEN you have kids??? And all you can think to yourself is DANG, this parenting thing is only easy when I’m not doing it. (& also, I can see now that my parents were doing the best they could do with what they knew to do in their parenting years, no matter how unhealthy things were). Because parenting is SO CHALLENGING at times. Every parenting book I’ve read had something to say. And I’ve appreciated most of them for something. But this core point, that we need to grow in self-awareness and self-compassion has had the most impact on my parenting approach. I’ve made the gamut of parenting mistakes. I really have. Which means I have regret. (& lest you try to console me for my perfectly imperfect parenting, I will go to my grave regretting them, but I also don’t fuel them with self-contempt). Self-shaming won’t change how I engage my kids now. Mistakes were made — I’m human. Healthy examples weren’t always available to me, and no matter how many parenting books or hours in a therapist’s office, I was bound to struggle with this one relationship: the relationship with myself. My defenses and my reactiveness towards things that hurt me or offended me or confused me were my instinctive armour and battle gear that I brought into my family life, as a wife, and as a mother. I wish this weren’t true. But it is. I had (& still have) armour and battle gear. Do I like that? Hell no. Will it serve me to pretend that these patterns weren’t mine at the beginning of my family journey? Again, hell no. I’ve learned that including practices in self-awareness has helped me see me a little more clearly (a little more, because there will always be room for more self-awareness, I’ll never see myself clearly). Or in the words of Carl Rogers, “The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.” Self-awareness is the foundation of nonviolent homeschool communication — and this is where it starts. Lesson Five — You Are Not Vanilla “My theory is that we get depressed because we're not getting what we want, and we're not getting what we want because we have never been taught to get what we want. Instead, we've been taught to be good little boys and girls and good mothers and fathers. If we're going to be one of those good things, better get used to being depressed. Depression is the reward we get for being “good.” But, if you want to feel better, I'd like you to clarify what you would like people to do to make life more wonderful for you.” ― Marshall B. Rosenberg, Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life If we don’t acknowledge who we are, that we are separate people, and that we have separate needs, we force ourselves to go underground. Our identity becomes like vanilla ice cream. Vanilla is a flavour of ice cream, sure (aka it’s a personality of ice cream types, though it is a basic personality). But it doesn’t have a specific personality, a particular flavour, or a particular texture. It has an entry-level nothingness. (Clearly vanilla is not my favourite. Bring on the peppermint chocolate chip). But we each aren’t vanilla personalities: we have our own flair, our own flavour, and our own textures. We are unique and are meant to be here for a special purpose. When we put our efforts toward being good or right, enabling ourselves to go undercover, we aren’t really us. And so does our nonviolent homeschool communication. And when we put our efforts toward fully accepting all of our parts, and each of our needs, and acknowledging our real selves, we flourish. The Homeschool Communication Tool I Use Every Day The very most important thing I gain from Marshall Rosenberg’s book, Nonviolent Communication, is this fill-in-the-blank statement. It is a useful tool: a fill-in-the-blank conversation “instruction manual” to address my needs and request someone to engage my needs (which, not coincidentally when you practice doing this for you, makes it awfully easy to engage for others too). When I see that______________ I feel ______________ because my need for ________________ is/is not met. Would you be willing to __________________? This single sentence changed my nonviolent homeschool communication more than any other tool I’ve found. So my goal in my relationships with my kids and my relationship with my partner is to make observations, clarify and express my feelings, declare my underlying needs, and ask for my needs to be met. That simple. And not easy at all.

Beyond the Facts: Tacit Knowledge and the Hidden Infrastructure of Our Informed Times (Bloomsbury, 2025) describes tacit knowledge, what it is, how it used and its role in our current data driven world. Author James Cortada argues that fuzzy, hard-to describe information is greater and more, important than just hard facts. What is tacit knowledge? It is what we might consider knowledge that is unable to be fully communicated; knowledge that we understand implicitly, but it is a bit hard to explain. For example, it is the kind of knowledge one needs to ride a bicycle, but that cannot be described precisely on paper in the way one might be able to explain how to cook a dish. Tacit knowledge is the least understood type of information and one of the most difficult to communicate. Yet there is more tacit knowledge in our lives than the specific facts one can find in a book, on the Internet or in the simple form of a fact. This book is designed to introduce the reader to the concept of tacit knowledge and how to recognize and use it. This book offers definitions of tacit knowledge and compares the topic to explicit knowledge, then describes how the former is used today. The author argues that both types are used today and explains how one can use both types of knowledge in their lives. This book is essential primer to understanding tacit knowledge and learning how to use it to your advantage.  Guest: James (Jim) Cortada is a senior research fellow at the University of Minnesota. He is a leading authority on the role of modern information. He holds a PhD in modern history but worked at IBM Corporation for nearly 40 years in sales and consulting. He has written several books on the business history of the computer industry and just over a dozen on the history and use of information over the past two centuries. So, he straddles the subject between historical evolution and its current uses.   Host: Dr. Michael LaMagna is the Information Literacy Program & Library Services Coordinator and Professor of Library Services at Delaware County Community College.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Bob opens with a metaphor about window blinds. Truth isn't a switch, he says, it's a set of slats you're constantly adjusting. Closed all the way, open all the way, and every shade of dim in between. He argues we're all doing this already, whether we admit it or not, because nobody walks around spewing 100% of what they know to every person they meet.Josh's picture is different. His light switch is taped to the on position with a sign that says "Do not touch!" The filtering happens somewhere else, in deciding who gets which truth and when.That gap turns into an actual disagreement, which almost never happens on this show.

Ohio's 7th Congressional District was rated Solid Republican. It is not anymore. This week the Purple Political Breakdown Ohio Edition covers the race almost nobody outside Ohio was watching, and the reasons it moved. Congressman Max Miller is facing domestic abuse allegations from his former wife, Emily Moreno, who is the daughter of Republican Senator Bernie Moreno. Miller denies the allegations and has filed a defamation suit. No charges were filed in the police matter that made the records public. Those are allegations, they are not findings, and this episode labels them that way while covering the documented court record and the measurable political effect on a district Donald Trump carried by eleven points. Also in this episode: Ohio counties sold record amounts of residents delinquent property tax debt to investors who can collect at up to eighteen percent interest, and a bipartisan bill to stop it. The two billion dollars in state and local sales tax exemptions that went to data center operators in a single year, and why Ohio lawmakers walked away from the vote to change it. Where Amy Acton and Vivek Ramaswamy actually stand on data centers and property taxes. Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur voting yes on HR 2616 and the backlash from her own base. Temporary protected status ending for Haitians and what it means for the Clark County workforce.

Lanny Davis joins Brian Nichols to reveal why as Bill Clinton's lawyer, he now agrees with libertarians on government surveillance and why America's privacy crisis is happening right now.This isn't a gotcha. Davis was Special Counsel to President Clinton, legal advisor to Michael Cohen, and the only Democrat George W. Bush put on the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board - the panel that watched the government's surveillance programs from the inside. The invitation came from Karl Rove himself.So what makes a lifelong Democrat go straight to George Orwell's 1984? Flock cameras. License plate readers. Every car in America logged and shared between departments. Davis looked at all of it and said the quiet part out loud... "the bigger government is, the more I feel shared wisdom with libertarians."His new book, Finding the Third Way, tackles the civility crisis head-on. He and Joe Lieberman once asked 535 members of Congress and 50 governors to sign a civility pledge - three signed. Davis names his own party's labeling problem, pulls a Harry Truman warning from 1948, and makes the case that Democrats and libertarians agree on more than either side admits.And then Brian does the thing we do... the scorecard. Three things Lanny got right. Three where he lost me. One of them pointed straight at our own side.

Thanks to our Partners, NAPA TRACS, Today's Class, KUKUI, and Pit Crew Loyalty Watch Full Video Episode Are your customers rolling up to the counter with their vehicles already "diagnosed" by ChatGPT or Gemini? More customers are turning to AI before they ever call your shop, using tools like ChatGPT and Gemini as the "WebMD" for their vehicles. They often arrive convinced they've identified the problem, making today's service advisor responsible for validating the customer's concerns while guiding the conversation back to proper testing and professional diagnostics. Brian Weeks, Jon Kloosterman, and Alex Littlewood join Carm Capriotto to explore how AI is reshaping customer expectations and why the shops that thrive will be the ones that combine technology with authentic human connection. What You'll Learn Why the "human premium" is becoming more valuable as AI-generated content grows.How to respond when customers arrive with AI-generated vehicle diagnoses.Why AI should automate administrative tasks, not customer relationships.How AI helps service advisors and technicians become more efficient.Strategies for adopting AI without overwhelming your team.Why AI can reinforce the value of professional diagnostics and repair expertise. As AI-generated content floods the internet, customers are finding it harder to separate facts from fiction. That uncertainty creates an opportunity for repair shops. AI can improve efficiency, but trust is still earned through knowledgeable people, thoughtful communication, and genuine relationships. The future belongs to shops that use AI to support the customer experience, not replace the human connection that builds lasting confidence.

urple Political Breakdown, hosted by Radell Lewis. Political Solutions Without Political Bias. The Supreme Court struck down this administration's tariffs. So it found a different law and taxed 99.4 percent of everything America imports anyway. A federal judge blocked the order rewriting how you get a mail ballot. So it went to the Supreme Court, and the Postal Service started building the portal regardless. OpenAI sealed two AI models in a sandbox to test whether they could hack. The models picked the lock and hacked a real company on the way out. Nobody in this episode broke a rule. Everybody found a way around one. That is the thread. This week we launch a new opening segment, What Has Trump Said This Week, going straight to the tape on the fourth term comments and the Netanyahu remarks. NUANCED NEWS: The tariff sequence nobody is explaining. Three different legal authorities in six months producing nearly the same outcome, each time a court closed a door. Section 301 after Section 122 after the Supreme Court struck the original Liberation Day tariffs. Then the same authority aimed at the European Union one day later over the Google antitrust fine, and a lawsuit filed by Friday afternoon. Plus the mail ballot executive order reaching the Supreme Court with a response due August 3, two federal appeals courts splitting on ripeness in the same week, and the postal portal getting built anyway. Plus the OpenAI containment breach, including the detail almost nobody reported: when OpenAI tried to defend against its own attacking agent, another American lab's safety guardrails made its model useless, so the defense ran on an open source Chinese model. RESEARCH ON A DIME: Jay Clayton, confirmed Director of National Intelligence 51 to 47, and the surveillance law nobody will vote on. Section 702 of FISA has been dead since June 12. It is not being debated on its merits. It is collateral. And on July 10, the bipartisan 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act became law without a presidential signature for the same reason. Same bill. Two hostages. Then Michigan's Senate primary, the 36 million dollars in outside spending, and the 16.8 million from a group that does not have to say who funds it until after you vote. BREAKDOWN IN THE PUBLIC: Is it actually harder now, or does it just feel that way? New Pew data on how young adults see homeownership, education, savings, and jobs, the Minneapolis Fed's argument that we may be measuring American homeownership 12 points wrong, and an honest steel-man of the case that the whole gerontocracy frame is a misdirection. GOOD NEWS: States are revoking data center tax breaks after residents connected their power bills to the building down the road. Solar hit a quarter of all EU electricity for the first time. And a Stanford Medicine trial has kids with multiple food allergies eating full servings safely.

What's the bigger threat to America right now: Israel's influence on U.S. politics, or Trump and MAGA itself? I sat down with a leftist creator (Cousin Ali on TikTok, Project Socio on YouTube) to dig into a tweet I put out that got people fired up, and to actually have the conversation instead of a shouting match. He makes the case that AIPAC's money and influence over Congress and the presidency, including Trump's Iran policy, makes Israel's lobby a uniquely dangerous force in American politics, one he argues is more entrenched and harder to challenge than MAGA on its own. I push back where I think the comparison breaks down, we talk about the far right turn in Israel's own government (Ben-Gvir and company), the growing divide inside the Democratic party over AIPAC-aligned candidates, and where healthcare policy (public option versus Medicare for All) fits into the bigger picture of what the American left can actually deliver. This is a solutions-focused, nonpartisan conversation. My guest's views are his own, and I bring my own pushback throughout, we don't always land in the same place, and that's the point.

David Osborne joins Brian Nichols to reveal how public sector unions trap members into paying union dues long after they quit - and why leaving your union is nearly impossible right now. Osborne is the former CEO of Americans for Fair Treatment and helped start the Fairness Center, a public interest law firm representing teachers, firefighters, police, and municipal workers against their own unions. This is a throwback to Episode 233, April 2021, with a five-year scorecard on what he got right and what he missed.Inside, you'll hear the uncensored breakdown of the union resignation window, the restrictive membership forms nobody reads at orientation, and the clause that makes public employees pay dues regardless of membership status. This is the playbook nobody hands you when you take a government job.And here's the part that should bother you... the union never had to win. They just had to make leaving expensive enough that you stopped trying. What happens to your paycheck when the organization that's supposed to protect you is the one you need protection from?At 6:00, the Pennsylvania teacher whose own union blocked where her money could go - even after they agreed she'd never pay them a dime. At 10:17, the gym membership analogy that explains the whole trap in sixty seconds. And at 25:30, the specific request David made to the Supreme Court in April 2021 - and the answer he got eight weeks later.Subscribe for new episodes every Thursday.

Reducing pecan scab and weevil pressure by balancing trace minerals and applying AEA products like Pinion and PhotoMag. Evaluating plant metabolism and internal health by measuring sugar levels, EC, and pH/EH homeostasis on a sap analysis. Managing almond bloom diseases and pests like navel orange worm using AEA's Pinion alongside targeted applications of calcium and boron. Executing safe foliar applications of solubilized urea by managing overall solution concentration and electrolyte levels to prevent crop leaf burn. Improving late-season calcium absorption in fruit crops through soil shading and foliar boron applications.  Pre-blending AEA nutritional products before spraying to create a synergistic response because the formulations are designed to support living biology. Addressing insect pests like the apple borer using a foliar combination of AEA's PhotoMag, Rejuvenate, and Rebound Boron.

In this episode of *Pediatric Perspectives*, I'm joined by Peter McCullough, M.D. — one of the world's most published cardiologists, an epidemiologist, and the lead author of what may be the most comprehensive scientific document on autism spectrum disorder ever produced. His McCullough Foundation report, *Determinants of Autism Spectrum Disorder*, spans 52 pages with 308 references and extensive supplemental material. Dr. McCullough entered this arena not from a place of advocacy but from an epidemiologic one: when the numbers stopped making sense, he followed the data.

Kenny Cody joins Brian Nichols to break down how woke culture took over corporations, the media, and COVID - and why he called its collapse five years before it happened. This is the very first episode The Brian Nichols Show ever put on YouTube, back in early 2021, and Kenny looked into the camera and warned that government was becoming a religion and social media the temple. Now watch it age.Back then it sounded dramatic. Coca-Cola getting called "Woka-Cola." Dr. Seuss canceled. Corporations pulling out of Georgia. And Kenny tying all of it - cancel culture, corporate America, and COVID hysteria - into one machine. But here's the part nobody was saying out loud in 2021... that the same people demonizing you online were just handing the federal government more power to do it.So we did something different with this one. We went back, five years later, and graded the tape. What did Kenny nail? What did he completely whiff on? Because we don't just take victory laps around here... we call the misses too. And one of his biggest predictions aged in a way you won't see coming.Inside you'll hear why Kenny says conservatives literally cannot be fascists, the "government is a religion" breakdown that predicted the last four years, and the three issues he swears the left loses on every single time. Then stick around for the 2026 scorecard - where Kenny is now, and the full-circle endorsement you genuinely could not script.If you want common-sense politics that actually holds up over time, hit subscribe and ring the bell.
