Liberty doesn't sustain itself—and the Constitution alone isn't enough to preserve it. In this episode of The Todd Huff Show, Todd explores why a free society depends on informed, engaged, and responsible citizens. From the dangers of passive information consumption and cultural distraction to the rise of tribal thinking fueled by algorithms, Todd breaks down how modern habits are weakening civic awareness. He also shares personal insights on the role of solitude, critical thinking, and truth-seeking in shaping a political framework rooted in first principles. If we want to preserve freedom for the next generation, it starts with understanding, engagement, and a commitment to truth.

Most leaders will tell you they hate bragging — and they mean it. But somewhere between "I don't want to be that person" and never talking about what you've done, a lot of genuinely talented people quietly disappear from the conversations that shape their careers. Josh opens with a real scenario — joining a new company and being asked to introduce himself at an all-hands — and the tension of threading that needle. Bob admits this is his kryptonite. As a self-described introvert and chronic underseller, he's spent years over-correcting away from self-promotion because it feels slimy. The episode digs into the nuance between "I" stories and "we" stories, and why the most effective communicators learn to weave both together naturally.The harder truth surfaces when Bob connects this to the Capital One Agile layoffs — 1,100+ roles eliminated, not because the work wasn't valuable, but because no one made the case for it. Servant leadership culture convinced an entire profession that talking about results was someone else's job. It wasn't. Josh drives it home with Nick Saban's retirement: Alabama is still good, but they're not the same, because the person whose presence elevated everyone around them is gone. That's you. You are the face of your franchise, whether you're comfortable with it or not. Stop underselling. Start telling.

Your doctor is NOT your boss.They are your medical consultant. You are the decision-maker. Period.In this episode Trish breaks down informed consent in the clearest, calmest, most confident way possible - because this one thing is the #1 reason women walk away from birth feeling powerless. It's not the pain, not the interventions… it's not knowing they had the right to say yes, no, or “I need a minute.”You'll hear the powerful story of my student who went from scheduling a C-section out of pure fear to rocking a beautiful unmedicated birth - simply because she understood her rights and started using them calmly. I also walk you through:What informed consent actually means (it's NOT just signing a paper)The four powerful questions that turn any “order” into a conversationWhy labor makes us forget our rights, and exactly how to protect them before you even step foot in the hospitalHow to advocate without yelling, arguing, or being labeled “difficult”This isn't about being combative. It's about walking in informed, respected, and owning your power - the exact power that changes everything in the birth room.You are becoming a mom. That's the most powerful role on the planet. Informed consent is how you protect that transition.So take a deep breath, mama.

Jeremy Brown is an organic farmer and the founder of Broadview Agriculture in the Southern Plains of West Texas. Managing nearly 4,000 acres of certified organic land, Jeremy is a leader in adapting regenerative practices to "brittle," low-rainfall environments. He brings a pragmatic approach to the movement by aligning his production with the natural limitations of his ecosystem, prioritizing soil biology and local economic health over the high-input "rat race" of conventional technology.  In this episode, John and Jeremy discuss:  Jeremy's transition from the "Roundup Ready" era back to organic farming to discover what truly constitutes "good soil."  How high yields in desert-like environments creates a financial "rat race" that ignores the farm's natural context.  30-year plateau in dryland cotton yields despite massive advancements in chemical and seed technology.  How Jeremy uses a weather-responsive approach to interseed multi-species cover crops.  The integration of stocker cattle to offset the cost of cover crop seeds while providing natural fertilizer and biological stimulation.  Why Jeremy chooses to invest in local labor and home-raised seeds rather than high-tech machinery and expensive technology fees.  Additional Resources:  To learn more about Green Cover, please visit: https://greencover.com/  To learn more and to purchase BioCoat Gold, please visit: https://advancingecoag.com/product/biocoat-gold-2/   To learn more about Allan Savory and the Savory Institute, please visit: https://savory.global/  To learn more about Gabe Brown, please visit: https://brownsranch.us/  About John Kempf  John Kempf is the founder of Advancing Eco Agriculture (AEA).

Scott Schara is a nationally recognized expert commentator on the dangers of incentivized healthcare. He launched a landmark lawsuit, Schara vs. Ascension Health et al, which concluded in June, 2025, after a three-week jury trial which he calls, "a win for the system." Leading up to this he warned about the dangers of incentivized healthcare and where it leads. It was back in January of 2022 that Crosstalk introduced listeners to Scott, who was in sorrow over the loss of his daughter Grace, age 19, who passed away in October of 2021. Scott believes she was a victim of the medical, industrial complex after having been hospitalized during the COVID-19 pandemic. It wasn't long into her hospital stay that, as Scott indicates and hospital testimony was given, that Grace received a deadly combination of drugs. All of this was done under what's called, "standard operating procedures." Review this broadcast as Scott begins by retelling Grace's story, a story that had Scott wondering which road to travel. He chose the road directed by the frontline COVID-19 critical care doctors and that system, as noted, proved to be a deadly one. But why? There's more to this tragic story and what it points to as Scott sheds light on the following: Are we seeing health care rationing in America today? What's really behind the phrase, "Informed consent"? Why does Scott use the term, "incentivized" so often? Does the American legal system provide cover for the medical system? Is medical murder the number one cause of death in America?

What if the most radical thing a mother can say is also the most honest: I adore my kid, and I hated being pregnant. We open that door and walk through it, using Sarah J. Maas's candid interview as a springboard to unpack the real forces shaping pregnancy, birth, and life after—especially for women who train.We talk about cultural scripts that demand constant gratitude while ignoring grief, body changes, and athletic identity. Then we zoom in on the moments where care breaks down: weight targets that reignite disordered eating, induction confusion, a chaotic C‑section, and the silence that follows. Informed consent is more than paperwork; it's shared language, aligned teams, and clear options delivered without shaming. We map out the questions to ask, why early pelvic health education matters, and how to set recovery expectations that respect timelines and variation.Mental health sits at the center. Coping through intensity works—until it doesn't. When training is limited by birth, injury, or grief, we need a wider toolkit: therapy, breathwork, mindfulness, yoga, nature, and reading that restores perspective. We connect those tools to practical postpartum planning so you can protect your nervous system and your goals. Finally, we confront the collision of work and early parenthood—deadlines, pumping, and the myth of “back to normal” at six to twelve weeks—offering strategies for advocacy and structural change that make performance sustainable.If you're an active mom, a pregnant athlete, or a partner who wants to help, this conversation gives you language, options, and the confidence to choose for yourself. Listen, share with a friend who needs nuance, and subscribe so you never miss our next deep dive. If this resonated, leave a review—it helps more mothers find evidence‑based support and a community that values the messy middle.___________________________________________________________________________Don't miss out on any of the TEA coming out of the Barbell Mamas by subscribing to our newsletter You can also follow us on Instagram and YouTube for all the up-to-date information you need about pelvic health and female athletes.

Turning lead into gold and living forever: that's about the summation of our modern understanding of Alchemy. Informed by high-fantasy films and pop history, it now brings to mind dark, arcane ceremonies in castle ruins, playing God in the pursuit of limitless riches and immortality. However, the reality is that Alchemy spanned thousands of years and countless cultures. It was the precursor to modern science, and undoubtedly changed humanity's understanding of the world around us.

Vikings Have Informed Aaron Jones, Javon Hargrave of Their Release --- A Northern Digital Production

Watch the full episode on our YouTube channel: youtube.com/@mreapodcastWhat is the real value of a real estate team? It's not the number of agents. It's the systems.In this episode, we sit down with Savanna Campbell, Director of Operations for Signature Home Team, a three-person team that consistently closes more than $30 million a year in Northern Colorado. While many teams try to grow by adding agents, Savanna and her team grow by tightening their models.Her compass is simple: Every system must help the client feel safe, heard, and informed.We unpack how one-third of the team's business comes from agent referrals across the country, another third from a 72-touch past client system, and the final third from a Facebook group and YouTube strategy that position them as true local experts. Savanna walks us through their seven milestone emails, their Friday update cadence, and the operational audits they run after every deal.If you want to build a business that grows without chaos and delivers a client experience people rave about, this conversation will challenge the way you think about systems.Resources:Learn more: Quantum Leap  Connect with Savanna Campbell on FacebookJoin: Everything Estes Park Facebook GroupCheck out: Estes Park Living with Signature Home Team YouTube channelOrder the Millionaire Real Estate Agent Playbook | Volume 3Connect with Jason:LinkedinProduced by NOVA

In this episode, Krisy Thomas, Senior Educator with The CWP Society, is joined by Rima Shaw, Certified Wedding Planner and Certified Educator, for a conversation that goes straight at one of the most uncomfortable moments in our industry — that jolt of panic when a couple asks you to lead a culturally rich, multi-day celebration you don't fully understand.Together, they unpack what true preparation really looks like: before the inquiry call, before the proposal, and long before the wedding day. They dig into the difference between curiosity and genuine cultural fluency, why "figuring it out as you go" ultimately fails the couples who trusted you, and how a planner's integrity shows up not just in the answers they give — but in the questions they know to ask, and the ones they're wise enough not to.The conversation covers the framework behind culturally rooted celebrations: how rituals carry sacred meaning, why the order of events is never arbitrary, and how family dynamics shape decisions that extend far beyond logistics. Rima brings real-world perspective on what planners miss when they're underprepared, what those moments feel like from the family's point of view, and how a trained team can recognize a skipped ritual and course-correct gracefully alongside the officiant.They also take on the biggest misconception in multicultural planning: no two weddings — even within the same faith — are the same. Assumptions quietly erode trust. Informed, respectful discovery builds it.This episode is as tactical as it is principled. You'll hear how to prepare beyond a Google search by building relationships with officiants and culture-immersed vendors, what questions belong in your client questionnaire, how to approach rehearsal protocols, and when the most professional answer is, "I'm not the right fit for this — yet." And they get candid about the real business case for deep specialization, particularly for complex South Asian celebrations, and why continuous education is the backbone of both stronger service and stronger pricing.Saying yes to a culturally significant wedding is a promise to lead with knowledge and respect — not an opportunity to learn on your clients.If this episode resonates, subscribe, share it with a planner who needs to hear it, and leave a review telling us the standard you hold when you say yes.

After the Ohio Redistricting Commission redrew the map to lean Republican by over 10 points, longtime incumbent Marcy Kaptur the longest-serving woman in congressional history faces her toughest reelection yet.

Send a textEducators across grade levels are observing a consistent pattern: students are increasingly distracted, mentally fatigued, and less able to sustain focus during academic tasks. These challenges affect reading comprehension, problem-solving, written expression, and overall learning stamina. This episode examines the cognitive and neurological foundations behind these trends and explores how neuroscience-informed innovation may support learning readiness.Drawing on research in neuroplasticity and cognitive development, the discussion highlights how core brain systems—including attention regulation, working memory, processing speed, response inhibition, and visual control—play a critical role in students' ability to engage in sustained learning. The episode explores how stress, digital overstimulation, anxiety, and sleep disruption can place strain on these systems, reducing cognitive efficiency in classroom settings.Guest Dominick Fedele, CEO and founder of Mastermind Cognitive Training, shares insights into the development of targeted cognitive training exercises designed to strengthen foundational brain skills through structured, repeated practice. The conversation examines how short, gamified training sessions aim to leverage neuroplasticity to enhance focus, learning stamina, and academic readiness. Assessment models used to measure cognitive growth are also discussed, along with early feedback from educators and families.This episode provides educators with a research-informed perspective on cognitive readiness and offers insight into how structured brain-based practice may complement classroom instruction. It invites reflection on how strengthening underlying cognitive systems may help students engage more effectively in learning while supporting teachers in managing diverse attention needs.Great News!

Host Radell Lewis and panelist Elijah break down the biggest stories shaping American politics right now. Is Gavin Newsom positioning himself as the 2028 Democratic frontrunner and are MAGA's racism accusations against him just manufactured outrage? We dig into Newsom's shifting stance on trans rights and sports, why Hasan Piker saying he'd vote third party over JD Vance is dangerously misguided, and what JD Vance's connections to Curtis Yarvin and Peter Thiel reveal about the real power behind Trump's agenda. The conversation goes deep on Trump's tariff policy and whether bringing back manufacturing is a fantasy that ignores the AI revolution already reshaping the workforce. Plus, we tackle the growing tensions with Iran, Jared Kushner's troubling foreign business dealings, the latest Epstein file revelations, and why the "taxpayer dollars" argument against trans military service doesn't hold up.

Purple Political Breakdown host Radell Lewis sits down with Adam Swart, founder and CEO of Crowds on Demand the country's largest protest and advocacy firm for an eye-opening conversation about the state of protesting in America. With ICE protests dominating headlines and tensions escalating between civilians and law enforcement, this episode delivers the insight you need right now.Adam brings over a decade of experience organizing high-profile protests and advocacy campaigns across the political spectrum. Featured on Fox News, Fox Business, NewsNation, OAN, and Newsmax, his takes on modern activism have drawn millions of views and sparked national debate about transparency, funding, and ethics in protest movements.After more than a decade inside the protest-organizing world, Adam is sounding the alarm. Modern demonstrations have shifted from grassroots expression to highly coordinated operations driven by money, messaging, and strategic optics. He reveals that requests to hire or coordinate demonstrators have surged over 400% in recent years, tied to flashpoint issues from immigration and energy policy to foreign conflicts. Adam breaks down how professional demonstrators, nonprofit pass-throughs, and activist contractors operate behind the scenes and why hidden funding, not paid protesting itself, is the real threat to public trust.Adam and Radell dive into your First Amendment rights as a protester what you can do without a permit, how to navigate police interactions, and why violence, vandalism, and blocking streets will always hurt your cause. They tackle de-escalation from both sides, examining why ICE agents' approach has drawn widespread criticism and what law enforcement should be doing differently. The conversation also covers cancel culture hypocrisy from both the left and right, celebrity double standards on climate change, and why Venezuela's history of U.S. influence campaigns estimated near $1 billion between 2004 and 2009 provides critical context for understanding today's protest landscape.Adam introduces two major proposals: the Protesters' Bill of Rights and Responsibilities, a framework holding both demonstrators and authorities accountable, and the Transparency in Political Demonstrations Act (TPDA), legislation he authored and submitted to Congress. The TPDA protects peaceful protest while requiring basic funding disclosure for large coordinated demonstrations of 500 or more participants targeting who funds and organizes protests, not what people say.Whether you're planning to hit the streets, organizing your community, or just trying to understand your rights in today's political climate, this episode is essential listening.Topics discussed: protest rights, ICE protests 2025, First Amendment protections, peaceful protest tips, de-escalation techniques, paid protests, paid activism, protest funding transparency, cancel culture, free speech, police accountability, defund the police, Protesters' Bill of Rights, Transparency in Political Demonstrations Act, TPDA, advocacy strategies, protest organizing, civil rights, Trump administration, BLM protests, Venezuela influence campaigns, climate change activism, Crowds on Demand, nonprofit pass-throughs, professional demonstratorsListen to Purple Political Breakdown political solutions without political bias.

What happens when a leader decides they're done leading? In this episode, Bob and Josh tackle one of the most uncomfortable topics in technical leadership: stepping down from a leadership role. Whether you're the one considering walking away from the org chart, or a team member just told you they want out, this conversation is for you.Bob shares his personal story of transitioning from a senior development leadership role at iContact to an agile coaching position—a move that required navigating salary adjustments, title changes, and the inevitable shift in organizational perception. He credits his boss Ralph Kusuba for handling the conversation with grace and business acumen, recognizing Bob's value beyond just his title.The hosts draw an important distinction between organizational leadership (titles, org charts, formal authority) and leadership as a way of being (influence, modeling great teammate behavior, cultural contribution). While you can step away from the former, Bob argues you can never truly abdicate the latter—and he'd "smack you with your own hat" if you tried.They also explore how to recognize when someone has genuinely reached their limit versus when they're just hitting a sticky spot that coaching can help them push through. The key insight: if you're leading well, these conversations should be rare. And when they do happen, the leader's job is to find a gracious glide path—just like NFL coaches who step back to coordinator roles and become invaluable advisors to first-time head coaches.

In this week's Purple Political Breakdown, host Radell Lewis breaks down the Supreme Court's landmark 6-3 ruling striking down Trump's IEEPA tariffs, what it means for $175 billion in refunds, and how the administration is scrambling with Section 122 workarounds. Radell dives into the ongoing DHS government shutdown, the Democrats' 10-point ICE reform demands, and why ICE agents shooting U.S. citizens including a newly revealed Texas cover-up is reshaping the entire debate. In the Research on a Dime segment, Radell investigates Jared Kushner's rise from real estate heir to unofficial peace envoy, his $4.6 billion Affinity Partners fund backed by Saudi and Qatari sovereign wealth money, and the conflict of interest questions surrounding his Gaza reconstruction master plan.

You can weep for the dying oceans while marveling at the stars. You can rage for Gaza while reveling in the earth beneath your bare feet. Reading by Tim Foley.

In her new report (404) Job Not Found: What Workforce Training Can't Fix for Black Atlantans in the Age of AI, Data & Society researcher Anuli Akanegbu provides the first ethnographic examination of how AI-related skills are defined, taught, and valued across Atlanta's growing tech economy. Drawing on interviews, field observations, and historical analysis, she traces how AI literacy is promoted by industry, implemented by government, and interpreted by workers and community leaders navigating an increasingly AI-driven workforce infrastructure.On February 17, Akanegbu, TechEquity Senior Vice President of Labor Programs Tim Newman, and Bard Computer Science Professor Annabel Rothschild held a critical conversation on the policy stakes of AI-focused workforce development at the state and national level. This conversation was  Informed by Akanegbu's report and an accompanying policy brief co-authored by D&S Policy Manager Serena Oduro, who moderated this conversation, panelists discussed how government and industry priorities shape workers' access to opportunity and how policy can address the real-world impacts of automation and AI on workers. Learn more about the eventRead Anuli's reportLearn about Data & Society's 'AI Civics' Initiative

Hillary Clinton calls out Trump for pushing closed-door testimony, and Pam Bondi's hearing before Congress raises serious questions about a potential cover-up at the DOJ. The panel examines Trump's connections to Epstein, the Mossad and Israel allegations, and why the Attorney General can't answer basic questions about Ghislaine Maxwell's prison deal.Then the conversation shifts to Trump's attack on free speech after Stephen Colbert's interview with Texas gubernatorial candidate James Talarico was pulled from CBS under FCC pressure from Brendan Carr. Why is Trump afraid of Talarico, and what does this mean for political speech in America?The panel also breaks down Trump's EPA rollbacks removing greenhouse gas regulations on methane, CO2, and nitrogen emissions a move that benefits oil executives while making the atmosphere more dangerous for everyday Americans.

When you put your faith in vaccination, disappointment is inevitable. Aaron Siri, Esq. has been litigating Big Pharma issues for many years, and has a wealth of legal knowledge about the topic as a result. He has found that belief in this pharmaceutical system has evolved into a religion for many people. Despite all the flaws in safety testing and ethical concerns with mandates, questioning these things is considered taboo and those who do not follow in lock-step with the “safety and efficacy” narrative are outcast. Doctors lose profit, media outlets lose funding, relationships suffer and employees are fired.

In 2023, ABA Area birders welcomed Chihuahuan Meadowlark to the official ABA Checklist, and subsequently to many life lists. Previously considered a distinct subspecies of Eastern Meadowlark, the split was the result of work done by Dr. Johanna Beam while she was an undergraduate researcher. Informed by her background as a birder, Johanna used museum specimens, audio recordings, and genetic tools to inform the eventual split. She joins host Nate Swick to talk about how it's done, and what other potential new species might be out there.  Also, the ABA announced our 2026 Community Weekend schedule.
