How did America's universities lose the trust of the public, and what will it take to restore faith in higher education? In this episode, we are joined by Benjamin and Jenna Storey, renowned scholars, co-authors, and directors at the American Enterprise Institute's Program on the Future of the American University. Together with host John Tomasi, they undertake a searching examination of the forces eroding confidence in universities and offer a roadmap for rebuilding their legitimacy and civic purpose.The conversation draws on the Storeys' personal journeys through academia, they explore how universities have shifted away from their civic mission, the implications of declining viewpoint diversity, and the urgent need to re-envision liberal education in a polarized era. Their discussion critically engages with recent initiatives, including the founding of university-level Schools of Civic Thought, and emphasizes both the perils and promise of institutional reform amidst increasing political and public scrutiny.Read the report: “Civic: A Proposal for University Level Civic Education” (AEI, December 2023) In This Episode:

What if healthcare actually focused on health instead of just managing disease? This groundbreaking conversation with Jordan Cash, founder of Salt Health, reveals how membership-based primary care is revolutionizing healthcare in Northwest Arkansas and beyond.The current medical system is fundamentally broken—rushed appointments, disconnected specialists, and treatment plans that mask symptoms rather than addressing root causes. Salt Health's membership model ($349/month individual, $699/month family) provides remarkable access: up to 20 medical appointments yearly plus facilities that rival luxury fitness clubs. More importantly, it delivers something increasingly rare in healthcare—time. Time for providers to truly understand your health history, goals, and challenges. Time to develop comprehensive treatment plans addressing root causes rather than just symptoms.Unlike traditional practices that bounce patients between specialists with minimal coordination, Salt Health provides truly integrated care. On-site laboratory services, X-rays, nutritionists, health coaches, and massage therapists collaborate under one roof. When specialist referrals are necessary, Salt Health coordinates care and follows up to ensure continuity—something sorely lacking in conventional medicine. Their approach to hormone replacement therapy exemplifies this holistic philosophy: thorough testing, personalized treatment options, and ongoing monitoring rather than one-size-fits-all prescriptions.What most impresses about Salt Health is their commitment to transformative rather than transactional medicine. They're not looking for quick fixes but sustainable solutions that may actually reverse conditions rather than merely managing them. Whether you're an elite athlete seeking optimization or managing chronic conditions affecting daily life, the comprehensive Salt Health approach addresses the whole person, not just isolated symptoms.Ready to experience healthcare that actually works?

In this conversation, Dr. Aaron T. Dossey discusses the surprising amount of land clearing around the globe for agriculture and its detrimental effects on the environment, including biodiversity loss and climate change. The solution, according to our guest, is insect protein as a sustainable alternative to traditional livestock because of the efficiency and nutritional benefits of growing insects for food. Dr. Dossey shares his journey into the field of entomophagy, detailing how he transitioned from a passion for insects to founding All Things Bugs LLC where he focuses on the commercialization of insect-based food products. In this conversation, Dr. Aaron T. Dossey discusses the challenges of the insect protein market, the processing techniques he developed, the hurdles faced in scaling production, and the importance of consumer acceptance. Dr. Dossey emphasizes the need for collaboration within the industry and shares his vision for a sustainable future where insect protein becomes a mainstream food source.Key points from this episode:Land clearing contributes significantly to climate change.Deforestation leads to loss of biodiversity and ecosystem degradation.Insect protein is more sustainable than traditional livestock.Insects require less water and resources for production.Insects provide complete proteins and essential nutrients.Funding opportunities can drive innovation in sustainable food sources.Product development in insect protein is complex but necessary.Scaling insect farming can address food security issues.Serendipity plays a role in entrepreneurial success.Innovative processing techniques can enhance the quality of insect protein.Market challenges include competition from lower-quality products.Consumer acceptance is crucial for scaling insect protein products.Collaboration within the industry can lead to more efficient practices.Raising awareness about the benefits of insect protein is essential.Funding and investment are critical for growth in this sector.Sustainable practices can make insect protein a viable alternative.The ingredient price must be competitive for widespread adoption.Consumer products can help normalize insect protein in diets.A better world includes more wild spaces and equitable economic systems. Sound Bites“It appears that land clearing potentially is a bigger problem than climate change.""We're losing species faster than we can track.""Insects are really a no-brainer when you really look at their benefits, their efficiency, all the positive attributes and lack of negative – other than perception, there really aren't a lot of negative attributes.""Insects use very little water compared to livestock. For example I see usually around 1% water use compared to beef, or something in that range.”"Insects are complete proteins, unlike many plants.""We need to scale up sustainable technologies quickly.""We need to reduce beef and dairy consumption.""We are the R&D labs for major food manufacturers." LinksDr Aaron T Dossey on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/aarontdossey/All Things Bugs - https://allthingsbugs.com/All Things Bugs on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/allthingsbugs/All Things Bugs on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/AllthingsbugsAll Things Bugs on X - https://x.com/AllThingsBugsAll Things Bugs on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/AllThingsBugsAll Things Bugs on TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@allthingsbugsAll Things Bugs: Leader in Insects as a Sustainable Bioresource - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgGWStYQC_YBugs In Space: Biomimicry Solution for Sustainable Food on the Moon, Mars and Earth - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vp0S-Gfk_tAInsects as Sustainable Food Ingredients (Book) - https://shop.elsevier.com/books/insects-as-sustainable-food-ingredients/dossey/978-0-12-802856-8Invertebrate Studies Institute - https://isibugs.org/Invertebrate Studies Institute on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/isibugs/Invertebrate Studies Institute on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/InvertebrateStudiesInstitute/Invertebrate Studies Institute on X - https://x.com/ISIBugsInvertebrate Studies Institute Research Video - https://vimeo.com/user48219928Griopro (Ingredient) - https://griopro.com/Some videos:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgGWStYQC_Yhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vp0S-Gfk_tAhttps://vimeo.com/user48219928…Brands for a Better World Episode Archive - http://brandsforabetterworld.com/Brands for a Better World on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/brand-for-a-better-world/Modern Species - https://modernspecies.com/Modern Species on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/modern-species/Gage Mitchell on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/gagemitchell/…Print Magazine Design Podcasts - https://www.printmag.com/categories/printcast/…Heritage Radio Network - https://heritageradionetwork.org/Heritage Radio Network on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/heritage-radio-network/posts/Heritage Radio Network on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/HeritageRadioNetworkHeritage Radio Network on X - https://x.com/Heritage_RadioHeritage Radio Network on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/heritage_radio/Heritage Radio Network on Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@heritage_radio

What comes to mind when you think about retiring? Is it enjoying your "golden years?" That's an outdated approach, says today's guest Dean Jackson! He joins host Brian Skrobonja to discuss a new way to think about retirement – and how doing things this way will change your life – the concept of "pre-tiring," two types of economy, and what "money hobby" and self-managing companies are all about. The idea of the conversation with Dean came to Brian as the result of conversations he has been having with clients, plus the increased longevity and the outdated models that are still presented as the tools to approach retirement planning. From an early age, Dean realized the difference between what Dan Sullivan calls the time & effort economy, and the results economy. In the first type of economy. you get paid a fixed amount for your time and effort, whereas in the latter. you're paid by the results you create. Dean has been “pre-tiring” since 1999, splitting his time between Canada and Florida. For Dean, trying to define what success means to you and what your ideal lifestyle looks like are key aspects to reflect on. Society has been structured in a way where people worked with an eye on retirement, where they would spend their golden years. Now, things have changed. As Dean points out, there are billions of definitions of what "a perfect life" looks like, and "everyone's in possession of what could be a perfect life in their definition." The key is filling the blank, using your own situation and words, in regards to the sentence "I know I'll be successful when ____." Rehearsing for retirement is one of the things Brian has been helping clients with. Retirement is a transition, so being prepared for it is crucial. Dean believes that one of the important steps to take to prepare for the transition into retirement is what he calls "money hobby." Find something you're truly passionate about and look at whether you can turn it into some kind of business, like the Ryan's Toys YouTube channel, for example. Brian thinks that retirement isn't an age but a mindset. You can retire at 65 or at 35 if you have the right mindset and path to run down to create passive income. Citing Dan Sullivan's ideas and work, Dean and Brian touch upon the whole idea of life extender and making your future bigger than your past. For Dean, it isn't about how to do something but who can get something done for your company. You should decide whether you want to find a who that can help you with a specific thing – you can then turn into a business – or become that who yourself, for someone else's business, and do the what you really love. Dean talks about the so-called eight profit activators, a blueprint that's universally applicable to all businesses. It's about looking for opportunities to activate profits in any of the eight areas.     Mentioned in this episode: BrianSkrobonja.com Previous episode - Retirement is Not an Age DeanJackson.com Dan Sullivan - StrategicCoach.com/our-team/#/people/dan-sullivan Tony Robbins' New Money Master program Thomas Leonard Shopify.com Ryan's World on YouTube Chat GPT   Brian, Dean Jackson and MAS are not affiliated entities.   Securities offered only by duly registered individuals through Madison Avenue Securities, LLC.

General Mykhailo Drapatyi has overseen an increase in combat effectiveness, in the Kharkiv, Luhansk, and Donetsk directions, that is crippling Russian artillery and armour. Ukrainian forces are shattering Russian artillery in record-breaking numbers, according to reports, countering Russia's rumoured plans for a massive offensive in the Borova-Lyman sector. General Drapatyi commands the Third Assault Corps and has built a ferocious defensive line that is stopping Russian forces, as well as assembling an elite force.

Newsflash is brought to you by IntelStor. For Market in intelligence that generates revenue, visit www.intelstor.com. Leading off the week German wind turbine manufacturer, Nordex secured orders for 2100 megawatts of turbines in the first quarter of 2025. A 5% increase from the same period last year. The company received contracts to deliver 337 wind turbines for projects across 10 countries with Turkey, Germany, Finland, Latvia, and Brazil being the largest markets. The average sales price increased slightly to 870,000 euros per megawatt from 850,000 euros per megawatt a year earlier. CEO Jose Louise Blanco expects this positive momentum to continue throughout 2025. Nordex has installed approximately 57 gigawatts of wind [00:01:00] power capacity in over 40 markets globally, and operates factories in Germany, Spain, Brazil, India, USA, and Mexico. The first suction bucket jacket foundation has been installed at Ørsted's Greater Changhua 2B and 4 Offshore Wind Farm Site in Taiwan. The 920 megawatt project will comprise 66 Siemens Gamesa 14-236DD wind turbines all mounted on suction bucket jackets foundations. This marks the first large scale use of this foundation type in the Asia Pacific region. According to Ørsted, the suction bucket jacket design minimizes seabed disturbances, generates almost no noise during installation, and can be fully removed at the end of the wind farm's life. The foundations are being installed by Heerema Marine Contractors, heavy lift vessel Aegir and supplied by HSG Sungdong in South Korea and Petrovietnam Technical Services Corporation in [00:02:00] Vietnam. Europe's wind industry has proposed a new offshore wind deal calling on European governments to auction at least 100 gigawatts of new offshore wind capacity between 2031 and 2040. The proposal announced at Wind Europe's annual event in Copenhagen. Recommends using two-sided contracts for difference to provide revenue, stability, and reduce investment risk. The plan calls for more coordinated offshore wind development among European countries with capacity evenly distributed over time at approximately 10 gigawatts annually. In return, the industry commits to reducing offshore wind costs by 30% by 2040. Major developers and suppliers, including Ørsted, RWE, Vattenfall Iberdrola, Vestas, and Siemens Gamesa have signed the proposal pledging to invest in projects, manufacturing capacity and workforce development.
