The “Billion-Dollar Asset” That Still Had to Be Sold A story Bruce shares in our retirement class teaching always stops people in their tracks. A family inherited an NFL team worth just under a billion dollars. The asset was valuable. The legacy was real. But the planning wasn't there. When estate taxes came due, the heirs didn't have the liquidity to pay the bill. And because the wealth was tied up in an illiquid asset, they had to sell the team. https://www.youtube.com/live/6lCgo4y3LYs Most families will never own an NFL franchise. But plenty of families do own a business, a portfolio of real estate, land that's been in the family for generations, or investments that look substantial on paper but aren't easy to convert into cash quickly. And that's where this topic becomes personal: if you don't plan ahead, your family may be forced into decisions you never intended—simply to satisfy a tax obligation. This is why we're talking about how to avoid estate tax legally—so your wealth can serve your heirs and your purpose, not become a burden or a fire sale.

What You'll Learn About How to Avoid Estate Tax Legally If you've ever wondered, “Will my legacy go to my family…or to the IRS?” you're asking the right question. In this blog, we're going to walk you through the core ideas from our podcast episode on estate and inheritance taxes—what they are, how exemptions work, why the rules change, and what families can do now to protect generational wealth. You'll learn: The estate tax vs inheritance tax difference (and why it matters) How the federal estate tax exemption 2026 conversation impacts planning today Why a married couple's plan can change dramatically when one spouse dies How annual gifting works (and why people confuse it) When Form 709 may come into play Why estate liquidity planning can be the difference between preserving an asset and losing it How life insurance and trusts are commonly used to create options and control Quick note: we're not attorneys. We sit in these meetings with attorneys. We collaborate with estate planning professionals constantly. Our goal is to give you a clear framework so you can make wise decisions and ask better questions with your CPA and attorney. The Practical Building Blocks of Estate Tax Planning Estate Tax vs Inheritance Tax Difference: Start With the Right Definitions One of the biggest sources of confusion we see is people using “estate tax” and “inheritance tax” like they're interchangeable. They're not. Here's the simple distinction: Estate taxes are settled by the estate. The money comes out of the estate before everything is fully distributed. Inheritance taxes are settled by the beneficiaries. The tax bill is tied to what they receive. There's also the state-level reality: not every state has inheritance tax, and state estate taxes can be entirely different from federal rules. That's why one of the first questions we encourage families to answer is: “Which taxes apply in my state, and which apply federally?” When you get the definitions right, you avoid planning in the wrong direction. Federal Estate Tax Exemption 2026 and Why the Rules Don't Stay Put When we recorded this episode, we were in December 2025, and Congress had just changed a tax bill that was expected to sunset at the start of 2026. That shift is a perfect example of why families can't build a legacy plan on the assumption that today's rules will remain tomorrow's rules. Here's what matters more than any single number: tax law can change quickly, and thresholds can move. That's why planning is less about guessing the future and more about building a structure that is resilient no matter what Congress does next. Estate Tax Exemption 2025 vs 2026: Timing Matters A detail that surprises many families is that timing can change what exemption applies. If someone passes away in one year, that year's rules apply. If they pass away the next year, the next year's exemption applies. We don't control the timing of life. But we can control the readiness of our plan. Estate Tax Rate 40 Percent: The “One-Time Loss” That Creates Long-Term Damage A federal estate tax hit can be significant. In our conversation, we referenced how quickly the dollars add up when large estates exceed the exemption threshold. But the bigger point we want you to see is this: It's not just the dollars paid in tax once. It's the generational opportunity cost of losing that capital. When your family loses money to unnecessary taxes, your family also loses what that money could have produced across decades: businesses that could have been started real estate acquisitions that could have created cash flow education and training that could have expanded a child's capacity family philanthropy that could have multiplied impact economic stability that could have protected future generations Bruce tells clients: when the money is gone, you can't make money on that money anymore. That's not just a financial statement. It's a legacy statement. Why Do Estate Tax Planning Strategies Matter Even If You're Under the Exemption Today? This is where most families get lulled to sleep. They see a high exemption and think, “We don't need to worry about estate taxes.” Two realities can make that assumption dangerous: Exemptions can change Your plan changes when one spouse dies Estate Planning for Married Couples vs Surviving Spouse: The Quiet Shift Even if you don't consider yourself “ultra-wealthy,” your planning needs to account for the fact that most couples will not pass away at the same time. A couple may look comfortably under a combined exemption threshold—then one spouse dies and the surviving spouse's position changes. Planning that felt safe becomes exposed. We see this across many areas of tax planning, not just estate taxes. The financial world often treats “married” and “single” very differently. That's why it's so important to build your plan while you still have options, flexibility, and time. How to Avoid Estate Tax Legally With Annual Gifting One of the simplest tools families can use is consistent, intentional gifting. In our episode, we talked about an annual gifting amount of $19,000 per person, per recipient, per year. The specific number can change over time, so always confirm the current annual exclusion with your CPA. But the concept is what matters. Here's why annual gifting is so powerful: It reduces the size of your estate over time It can move assets into the next generation in a planned way It can be used to build capability, not entitlement—if you pair it with purpose and guidance Do I Have to Report Gifts Under 19,000? In many situations, gifts under the annual exclusion amount don't require filing a gift tax return. That's why families like it: it's simple and consistent. Where it gets complicated is when you go above the annual threshold. When Do You Have to File Form 709 Gift Tax Return? If you exceed the annual exclusion amount, you may need to file a gift tax return (often IRS Form 709). Filing doesn't necessarily mean you owe tax immediately. It can mean the gift is tracked against lifetime gifting limits. Your CPA is the right person to guide you on the reporting mechanics for your situation. The takeaway: gifting can be one of the cleanest ways to reduce your estate—especially when you do it proactively and consistently. Lifetime Gift Tax Exemption 2026: Larger Gifts and Long-Term Tracking Beyond annual gifting, there is typically a lifetime gifting framework that tracks larger transfers. This is where families often say, “I'm confused,” and they're not alone. The important part isn't memorizing every detail—it's understanding the two-tier structure: annual gifting can be simple and repeatable larger gifts may require reporting and coordination with lifetime limits Again, this is why we encourage families to coordinate with their CPA and estate planning attorney.

Premise: Almost all leaders today lead in an environment that is ripe with disruptions and ever changing competitive landscape. The challenges of leading in this constantly evolving landscape are very different from that of leading in a stable environment where the current management practices are rooted in. So, if we have to succeed in this new world, we need to change the lens through which we view leadership and management practices. That begs the questions - where can we draw inspiration for the new way of leading. Thankfully, we don't need to look far. We can learn from Evolutionary Biology. Leading an organisation today and how evolution works are very similar - they are both a part of and navigate complex adaptive systems. And nature has had a long time to perfect the techniques and tactics that have allowed life to bloom. So, I think there are some interesting and important lessons that we can learn from nature and the evolutionary process. Foundational Tenets of Evolutionary Biology Here are the most fundamental and foundational tenets on which the entire field of Evolutionary Biology is based on: Random events produced the first signs of life. Since then, variation (mutation - adjacent possible and genetic drift - random shifts) provides the impetus for evolution. Selection acts as the fitness test (ability to reproduce and stay alive) Inheritance ensures successful traits are passed on to next generations. Deep time allows cumulative change to produce new functions or species. Over time, simple rules lead to complex patterns, behaviors and species. The starting of our organisation was the random event that started this journey of survival. Embrace Variation - Adjacent Possible & Genetic Drift All evolution happens when there is some sort of variation - either within the organisation or its context. This variation results in something new, which is then put through a rigorous test by its environment and only those variations that are able to navigate the environment successfully are then preferred. Every other variant slowly but definitely dies out. Similarly, as leaders, we need to create an ecology of ideas. We need to look at adjacent possibles (continuous improvement) in our area of work all the time. We should also be on the look out for the genetic drift (random, breakthrough ideas) which can help us shift the level we operate at. Every time something changes - internally within our organisations or externally within the context in which we operate in, we need to explore and come up with experiments and the one that is able to navigate the changes the best, needs to be promoted, while the other ideas slowly but surely die out. Actionable Tip for Leaders: Invite everyone on the team to constantly explore ways to improve the existing processes by running small SMART experiments. And once in a while (maybe quarterly), explore to identify game changing ideas. It is great if you succeed, if not, you would have atleast some more interesting experiments to run. Idea is to engage in the process. Selection acts as the filter for fitness Evolution uses fitness as the only filter to assess whether a variation in a species continues to evolve or simply goes extinct. It is nature's job to be always creating variations, testing them for fitness, promoting the fit one's to be passed on and killing off all other variations. It is exactly our job as a leader. We need to continue to create experiments (variations) both in the adjacent possibles and attempt at breakthroughs (genetic drift), give them some air to test and continue to invest in those that are providing to be successful and kill those that are not. Actionable Tip for Leaders: Lets ideas clash for investments - money, attention and time. Let the best idea (defined before the process is run) win, and let the rest die quickly. Inheritance of successful traits: In addition to variation, evolution also ensures that the successful traits are always passed down from one generation to the next. In exactly the same way, as leaders it is our responsibility to ensure that good ideas and what we learn is spread across the organisation and passed on. This can be done by creating systematic process for documenting and sharing of ideas - good one's that work well. In evolution, the only key criteria is for the organism to continue to survive as a species by reproducing itself. In business, the most important criteria is similar - to survive for another day. Anything that can help in this regard needs to be well known and well shared within the teams. Actionable Tip for Leaders: Ensure that best practices and good ideas are widely shared among the team so that everyone can learn and build on them. Let time play out The biggest strength of the evolutionary process is that it takes its time and is in no hurry. It allows for simple variations to compound over time to create complex abilities and species as a result. As leaders, we can also leverage the power of time on our side - by continuing to work on the different experiments, we are in a way creating a flywheel. This flywheel has the potential to compound over time and create an outsized impact for our business. We just need to trust in the process and let time do the rest. Actionable Tip for Leaders: Have a long term view and approach. Allow multiple small ideas compound over time. What does this mean for us as a leader? This requires us to shift from being a controller to a facilitator, creating environments that empower self-organization, experimentation, and optimizing for learning. We can do that by Encouraging exploration and manipulation of ideas and contexts Design robust feedback and feedforward loops for continuous learning Empower teams with autonomy and reward experimentation, even failures Value diversity and inclusion to prevent blind spots and foster robust solutions Be comfortable with ambiguity and utilize managed tension between agents as a driver for adaptive change and novel information Be responsive to environmental shifts Continuously modify internal models Implement continuous learning loops ("learning by doing") Leverage inherent resilience and self-organization of complex adaptive system Adopt adaptive governance with decentralized decision-making As leaders, we need to treat leadership as Experimentation. We treat decisions as hypotheses to be tested, learn from feedback, and adapt accordingly. Self Organisation and Emergence: In evolution, all of these principles when play out and result in what we call Self organisation and emergence. Emergence by its definition is random and can not be predicted in advance and is a result of self-organisation (there is no one in charge there). This also shows that the overall entropy in the system is ever growing (with variation and emergence). As leaders, we need to be aware and constantly looking for emergence as and when it emerges. Once we see what emerges, we can explore how to exploit the emergence towards our goals. Smart leaders are always on the lookout for emergence everytime, they change something - for both expected and unexpected consequences and deal with them in real time. Self-organized Criticality One of the results of emergence is also the concept of self organised criticality, where the response to a small action can be outsized and can cause ripple effects across the entire system (as in the last grain of sand falling on an already tall sand pile leading to the collapse of the sand pile). As leaders, we need to be constantly on the look out for such criticality building up within our systems and plan for the inevitable shock that will come. By being better prepared, we can not only minimize the shock but possibly even find ways to leverage the shock to accelerate our pursuit to our goals. Conclusion Evolutionary biology offers an invaluable lens for leading complex adaptive systems. By embracing variation, facilitating selection via feedback, prioritizing adaptation over prediction, cultivating self-organization and co-evolution, organizations can move beyond outdated management practices. When leaders act as adaptive facilitators, empowering systems to learn, evolve, and adapt to an unpredictable future, we build resilient and some times even an Anti-fragile organisation and that can lead to consistent and significant high performance over a long and sustained period of time in a turbulent environment. In the past few posts, we explore about how we can learn from Anthropologists, Behavioral Scientists, Coaches and Directors. As you can see, Leaders worth following can learn from anything and everything. In order to succeed in the ever evolving environment, we need to optimize for our learning ability.

Joshua 13:1-33 I Andrew MurchThis passage might seem odd, irrelevant, or far off. It speaks of amoment in history and a cultural context nearly 3,500 years ago. Yet what is notfar off from us is the desire for home, and the security that offers. Every humanbeing knows the ache of having a place to lay their head and a future that is sure.What the ancient Israelites were given by the Lord (just as he promised), we areoffered through Jesus Christ—a secure future, an eternal inheritance, a suresalvation.
More on the altars outside and prior to the Temple - from Gilgal to Nov & Givon, and Shilo (when private altars weren't allowed). The Gemara explains that a verse in Deuteronomy that speaks of "menuchah" (rest) and "nachalah" (inheritance) should be applied to Shilo and Jerusalem, or perhaps the reverse. Also, investigating the claim that there were no grain-offerings at a private altar. The Gemara also pushes for implicit recognition that bird-offerings and grain-offerings were fundamentally different from larger animal sacrifice, which seem to have been more special.

On today's episode of Great Points, Matt runs through a scenario where a younger person receives a gift or an inheritance. As with any chunk of money, there are a variety of options what you might do with it. What would a $19k gift be worth in 40 years if I invest it? What if I pay off student loan or other debt? What if I spend it? There may not be one right answer, but thinking through the different scenarios can help you make the right choice for you.
As a father and now grandfather, I often think about the wise words of instruction found in Proverbs twenty-two, six. “Train up a child in the way he should go; and even when he is old he will no depart from it.” Training our children is not a once and done task. Rather, it is an ongoing project that in many ways lasts a lifetime. Neither is the training we are called to only verbal in nature. While the verbal instruction is necessary, equally necessary is the example we pass on to our kids. Let me share with you some great wisdom from the Puritans on the power of example. John Boys writes, “If both horse and mare trot, the colt will not amble.” Consider these words from Thomas Brooks: “Example is the most powerful rhetoric.” If we are to raise and train our children to follow the Lord, we must be eagerly following Him with every ounce of our lives. Remember, Jesus has called us to deny ourselves and follow Him. A heritage of faith is the most valuable inheritance we can pass on to our kids.
Much like when parents try to put off the "talk" when their kids are younger, they often avoid sharing estate plans when their children are older. Greg Aler explains how clear communication on wills and trusts—especially in blended families—prevents probate battles and protects your legacy with a simple, actionable roadmap.

This conversation explores the transformative power of travel and cultural experiences in shaping family dynamics and personal growth. The speakers discuss the impact of parental alienation, the evolution of fatherhood, and the importance of being present in children's lives. They share insights on cultural connections, ancestry, and the significance of community in nurturing relationships. The discussion also delves into the themes of failure, recovery, and the journey of writing a book that encapsulates their experiences.Key TakeawaysTravel can provide children with a broader perspective on life.Cultural experiences can strengthen family bonds and connections.Fatherhood is evolving from transactional to transformational.Being present with children is more important than perfection.Understanding ancestry can deepen children's sense of identity.Community plays a crucial role in family dynamics.Personal growth often comes from embracing failure and learning from it.Intentional parenting can help break cycles of alienation.The power of pausing allows for reflection and growth.Sharing stories can inspire others and foster connection.Chapters00:00 - Navigating Parental Alienation Through Global Experiences 03:32 - Transforming Perspectives on Fatherhood 11:49 - Cultural Connections and Ancestry 15:52 - The Power of Presence and Intentionality 20:51 - Embracing Failure and Recovery 25:20 - Reflections on Change and Community Support 27:11 - Navigating Parental Alienation Through Global Experiences 30:44 - Transforming Perspectives on Fatherhood 39:19 - Cultural Connections and Ancestry 46:01 - The Power of Pausing and Personal Growth 49:02 - Understanding Failure Immunity 52:32 - Hope and Intentional ParentingIf you wish to connect with Lawrence Joss or any of the PA-A community members who have appeared as guests on the podcast: Email - familydisappeared@gmail.com Linktree: https://linktr.ee/lawrencejoss (All links mentioned in the podcast are available in Linktree) Please donate to support PAA programs: https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=SDLTX8TBSZNXSsa bottom partThis podcast is made possible by the Family Disappeared Team:Anna Johnson- Editor/Contributor/Activist/Co-hostGlaze Gonzales- Podcast ManagerConnect with Lawrence Joss:Website: https://parentalalienationanonymous.com/Email- familydisappeared@gmail.com
An expository sermon from Exodus 36:1-13 on the future security of the Tribal Inheritance of Israel in the Promised Land.
As we start the new year, Alan speaks into a defining moment of realignment and preparation — a season where God is not calling us to strive harder, but to be repositioned under what He is already pouring out. Drawing from Obadiah 1:19 and the Psalms, this message reframes inheritance not as something we chase, but something we are positioned to receive. This teaching explores how every promise from God carries a repositioning — shifting us from survival into stewardship, from comparison into calling, and from old boundaries into new territories of responsibility and influence. As God redraws the map of our inheritance, we are invited into unique training, divine reassignment, and a deeper realm of governance where preparation precedes possession. This is for those who are sensing a new assignment, a new season, or a holy disruption. Alan reminds us that before we inherit what God has promised, He lovingly prepares us to carry it — dismantling what no longer serves us and entrusting us with what will shape the lives of others.

In Urdu poetry, dua is never just prayer but it is a reflection of how a poet relates to hope, faith, and control.For Ghalib, dua is too uncertain. He chooses action over waiting, offering his entire self instead of trusting outcomes.For Munawwar Rana, dua is absolute assurance, a mother's prayer that walks beside him like protection, unquestioned and complete.And for Kaifi Azmi, dua becomes the final gift that a father offers when strength, means, and time have run out, leaving only blessing and trust in the child's choice.Three poets.

Jesus' Lineage; Our Lineage by Autumn Dickson I opened up the New Testament this week to study the birth of Christ. I ended up down a bit of a rabbit hole, and I'm going to take you to part of it with me. My rabbit hole took me all over the place, but I'm going to try and simplify it into some basic ideas. It's going to be very technical at first and there are some nice enough implications, but then I want to more broadly apply it to the rest of us. The thing that really got me started down this rabbit hole is the fact that the very first verses we read in the New Testament are the lineage of Joseph. Funny enough, I had never noticed it consciously before because I usually just skip over that part. As I thought about it a bit further, I realized that it was odd. Why are we sharing Joseph's lineage when Jesus isn't of that lineage? Wouldn't it be more effective and helpful to share Mary's lineage (Yes, I know that wasn't the tradition then; it just seems like it would make more sense considering the fact that she's his biological mother). I then learned that many biblical scholars believe that we do have Christ's lineage through Mary. In Luke's account, we receive another account of lineage. This listed lineage lists Joseph, but scholars believe that it's Mary's line anyway. It just mentioned Joseph because of social norms. There are some other theories surrounding Luke's account of lineage, but the most widespread theory is that it really is Mary's line. We're going to go with that theory for all intents and purposes in this particular post. Why is lineage important? Well, it's important for a few reasons. We'll talk about its significance in the life of Christ, and then we'll talk about its significance in our own lives. It had been prophesied that Christ would come off of the Davidic line. Beyond that, He wasn't going to be just some random descendant but heir to the throne (if the Romans hadn't been in charge at the time). Christ's lineage through Mary and Joseph was really important for this particular prophecy. Christ comes off of the Davidic line biologically through Mary. This biological portion of being from the Davidic line is important for obvious reasons. However, Joseph's line is important too. Through Joseph, Christ is able to be known as an heir to the throne of David because that kind of thing always legally passed through males. I spent some time learning about Jewish customs and laws surrounding adoption, and I'll give you a couple of short facts. There wasn't much of a legal proceeding with official records and paperwork when it came to adoption. Rather, if a man stepped up to the role of father in a child's life, that child was legally adopted. If the father treated the child as his own, then the child held claim to everything that the other children held claim to. Inheritances, the family name, all of it. This was actually really important in a society where it mattered who your family was. Christ was of the Davidic line in all the ways that mattered. And this is absolutely amazing. It's cool to think about how God orchestrated every single detail to come together for Christ to fulfill prophecy. It's amazing. Even with His human side coming through His mother, He was still legally adopted and considered an heir through Joseph's line. But I actually want to take this further to allusions surrounding our own heritage, inheritances, and legality in terms of God's family. Like Christ, there are two parts that play into our inheritance. Biologically (not sure if that's the right word but we're going to run with it because I don't have a better word), we are spirit sons and daughters of our Heavenly Father. Because of our divine parentage, we were always meant to inherit a throne. It's within our “blood,” so to speak. But there's another portion of this. Through divine authority known as the priesthood, we are “legally” adopted into the family of God. There are three parts to this next thing I was to talk about. Christ could have stepped into His kingship if the Jews had been RIGHTEOUS enough to hold on to their kingdom. Joseph SACRIFICED and LEGALLY ADOPTED Christ and because of that, Christ would have been able to step into His kingship. If Israel had been righteous, Christ would have been king. If we are RIGHTEOUS and lay claim upon Christ's power to LEGALLY ADOPT us into the House of Israel, the because of Christ's SACRIFICE, we are to be divine heirs. As another detail in inheritance that is rich in meaning, primogeniture (firstborn son's claim to the throne over other children) was overwhelmingly common but not the absolute rule. Through wickedness or directly through the decisions of God, the older could be deemed unfit to inherit such power. Heavenly Father truly is the Master. All of the details are laid out so beautifully. There are a million parallels in the gospel that add layer upon rich layer to our understanding. I testify that God is in the details. The more I learn about the gospel, the more I am filled with a sense of awe at all of His orchestration. I testify that we come from a divine family, and I testify that Christ made a sacrifice and gave us the power we needed to adopt us into His family as well. All of these combine to an astounding truth; we have been set up to be heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ, to inherit a divine throne. There is so much we were born into. God has so much in store for us. Autumn Dickson was born and raised in a small town in Texas. She served a mission in the Indianapolis Indiana mission.

Historically Thinking: Conversations about historical knowledge and how we achieve it
In this episode of Historically Thinking, we begin not with a historian's voice, but with the voice of a seventeenth-century woman.Lady Frances Culpeper Berkeley—born in England, twice widowed, and married in 1670 to Sir William Berkeley, governor of Virginia—speaks from the midst of crisis. Jamestown has burned. Nathaniel Bacon's rebellion has fractured the colony's political order. Her husband has been recalled to England to answer charges before the Crown. Lady Berkeley, left behind, attempts to make sense of loyalty, loss, honor, and exile.That voice is brought to life by my second guest, Amy Stallings, a historian and historical interpreter who believes the past is best understood not only through documents, but through embodied experience. Together, we explore Bacon's Rebellion from an unfamiliar vantage point, the interior world of Lady Frances Berkeley, and the intellectual stakes of historical reenactment itself: what it reveals, what it risks, and what it makes newly visible.00:00 - Introduction00:28 - Lady Frances Culpeper Berkeley Introduces Herself00:58 - Writing to Her Husband in England02:55 - Sir William Berkeley's Accomplishments in Virginia04:23 - The Royal Commissioners and Personal Betrayal05:47 - Berkeley's Loyalty During the English Civil War07:17 - Berkeley's Resistance to Parliament08:15 - Berkeley's Return to Power and Jamestown's Glory09:39 - Nathaniel Bacon's Rebellion Begins11:08 - Bacon Surrounds the State House12:57 - Introducing Amy Stallings13:41 - Theater and History Intertwined14:27 - The Dissertation on Ballroom Politics21:40 - Dance as Political Resistance24:25 - English Country Dancing Before the Waltz28:53 - First Character: Susan Binks, Tobacco Bride28:53 - Learning History Through First-Person Interpretation39:14 - Developing Lady Berkeley's Character46:52 - Lady Berkeley's Isolation and Loss46:52 - Lady Berkeley's Inheritance and Legal Battles55:00 - The Challenges of Colonial Communication57:00 - Sewing Period Costumes61:51 - Conclusion
Nineteen-year-old Darren Munoz called 911 to report a burglary — but police say it was all a lie. Investigators allege Munoz masterminded the execution-style murders of his own father and stepmother, recruiting his 18-year-old friend Julio Zamora to pull the trigger with a ghost gun so he could cash in on an inheritance. What officers say they found inside the home — and what was allegedly on Munoz's phone — flipped the case instantly.

What would you do if everything you thought you knew about your father turned out to be wrong? What if his silence, his distance, his strange obsession with the mountains wasn't coldness at all, but something else entirely? What if he'd been guarding a secret so profound, so impossible, that it had consumed his entire life? That's the question facing Marcus Stone as he pulls up to a cabin he hasn't entered in twenty-three years. His father is dead. The funeral has already happened, and Marcus wasn't there. Twenty-three years of silence between them, hardened into something neither could break. And now it's too late.Or is it? Because Robert Stone left something behind. A trunk in the cellar. A note in his father's handwriting that speaks of burdens and secrets and an ancestor named Captain Elijah Stone.A note that hints at something that's been passed down through generations, waiting for someone brave enough to finally bring it into the light. What Marcus finds in that cellar will change everything he thinks he knows about his family, about history, and about what really walks in the deep places of the American wilderness. Seven leather-bound journals. Letters tied with twine that's gone black with age. A stone pendant carved with symbols that don't match any language Marcus has ever seen. And the words of a man who died two hundred years ago, preserved in ink that has faded from black to brown but remains perfectly legible.March fifteenth, seventeen ninety-nine.Captain Elijah Stone. Revolutionary War veteran. A man haunted by stories he heard during the brutal winter at Valley Forge. Stories told by Oneida scouts around dying fires. Stories of the elder brothers. The ones who were here before us. The ones who watch from the shadows of ancient forests.This is the beginning of an expedition into the unknown. Nine men riding west from Richmond, following legends and whispers toward something that might not exist. A hot-tempered Scottish soldier carrying grief like a loaded weapon. A Kentucky frontiersman who's been waiting twenty years for someone to go looking. A Philadelphia naturalist convinced that science can explain anything. A former minister searching for proof of God in a world that suddenly seems random and cruel.And leading them all, a captain who knows, somehow, that not all of them will return.The signs begin almost immediately. Footprints eighteen inches long, pressed deep into mud by something that weighs five hundred pounds. Wood knocking in the darkness, three sharp strikes echoing through the trees. Food stolen from bundles hung fifteen feet in the air. Structures built with purpose and intention, a language in the landscape that speaks of intelligence, of planning, of something that thinks. They know we're here, the frontiersman says. They've known since we crossed into the mountains. And then comes the story that changes everything. A blizzard twenty years ago. A young trapper who thought he was going to die. And something that carried him through the storm, examined him in a dark cave, and made a decision. They were deciding what to do with me.What walks in those mountains? What has been watching humanity since before we learned to walk upright? And what did Robert Stone spend his entire life guarding? The answers are waiting in the pages of those journals. And Marcus Stone is about to discover that some inheritances come with a price.This is The Bigfoot Journals, Part One.The expedition has begun.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

The actor Jessie Buckley says she wasn't surprised that she got pregnant right after she finished shooting “Hamnet.” The film — starring Paul Mescal as William Shakespeare and Buckley as his wife, Agnes — tells the story of a couple grieving the loss of their only son. “When I was filming ‘Hamnet,' I deeply wanted to become a mother,” Buckley says. “And it was such a gift to move through this woman and her motherhood and her love and her loss before I became a mother myself.”On this episode of “Modern Love,” Buckley describes how she was able to access the vulnerability she portrayed onscreen. And she talks about how her life has changed since having her own child. Plus, she reads the Modern Love essay “The Wrong Kind of Inheritance” by Victoria Dougherty.How to submit a Modern Love Essay to The New York Times.How to submit a Tiny Love Story.
