Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Jill shares DIY strategies for managing rumination, including identifying the root cause of anxious thoughts, journaling, and setting aside a specific “worry time.” How can I humble myself while maintaining healthy boundaries and not becoming a doormat for my wife? After 14 years of marriage, my wife and I argue every day, and I feel like she is constantly punishing and scolding me. I've been divorced for 10 years. How do I deal with competitive women at singles events while trying to find the right man for me? How can I break free from masturbation and porn addiction? I'm 60 and have struggled with masturbation, lust, and porn for decades. I can go a month or three without them, but then I backslide.

Your customer says they're “pretty handy” and offers to handle the filter cleanings to save money. Sounds reasonable until the filter doesn't get cleaned for weeks, the water starts sliding toward algae, and you discover the clamp was reinstalled wrong. Now it's not just a service problem, it's a safety and liability problem. That DIY crossover is getting more common, and we're breaking down where it helps and where it can seriously hurt your route.We talk through why DIY pool maintenance has always been a major part of the industry, and how modern pool automation and chemical automation make homeowners feel even more capable. ORP systems, acid feed, salt systems, and app-controlled equipment can reduce day-to-day effort, but they don't remove the need for correct maintenance and consistent oversight. When “helpful” tasks are done late or done wrong, the pool suffers and the pro often gets blamed.You'll hear real examples of what goes wrong when homeowners clean cartridge or DE filters, including improper assembly and dangerous clamp issues, plus common pump basket and skimmer basket mistakes that can cause loss of prime or equipment damage. We also dig into when chemical-only pool service can be a smart offering for experienced DIY clients, and how to set clear rules so the pool stays clean and everyone stays safe. If you found this useful, subscribe, share it with a pool pro friend, and leave a review with your own boundary rule you won't bend.DIY pool care is normal, but shared responsibilities can quickly create safety problems, bad water, and finger-pointing. We draw a hard line around high-risk equipment tasks and explain when a chemical-only pool service can actually work.• why DIY homeowners still make up a big part of pool care• how pool automation and chemical automation change the workload• why customers want to clean their own filter and why it fails• filter cleaning risks: timing, poor cleaning, dangerous reassembly• real-world DE filter mistakes: no DE and far too much DE• why homeowners should not touch pump baskets or skimmer baskets• what DIY tasks are genuinely helpful: skimming, brushing, watching the water• when chemical-only pool service fits and how to screen for the right clientLearn more at swimmingpoollearning.com.If you're interested in the coaching program that I offer to learn more at poolguidecoaching.com.Send us Fan MailSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors! HASA  REWARDS Apphttps://hasa.com/hasa-appThe Bottom Feeder.

If your nightstand is stacked with self-help books, your TikTok feed is full of relationship advice, and you are listening to podcasts just like this one—you might be caught in the passive healing trap.  In this episode, we are talking about why the most common things people do to feel better won't actually help you move past a breakup. We explore the heavy burden of heartbreak shame, the terrifying nature of vulnerability, and why our brains prefer the safety of "passive healing" (like reading and scrolling) over the active, life-changing work of coaching or therapy. If you are tired of carrying the weight of your breakup entirely on your own, it's time to step out of the shadows.  Ready to Fast-Track Your Breakup Recovery?

Pepe Bandit sits down with fellow coffee roaster and DIY lifer John Cozz of Cozz Coffee for a wide-ranging conversation on running, magic, and lessons learned. They trace parallel paths through coffee roasting and DIY music — Pat the Bunny, Jeffrey Lewis — and the value of just knocking on doors or sending the email to make things happen. John talks about growing up with a magician father and how that shaped his creative instincts, while Pepe shares his own story of going for his first-ever run on the morning he was sentenced to prison. The back half gets into the real mechanics of building a small coffee roastery — cash flow, the 80/20 rule, moving too fast — then Pepe shares a high-stakes history in the marijuana trade that led to prison in the first place, including cartel members and a genuinely hair-raising run-in with a cop in the California mountains.Support the podcast & get bonus episodes & goods (there's even a FREE option)patreon.com/BackontheGrindConnect with Cozz coffee:instagram.com/cozzcoffee/cozzcoffeeroasting.com/patreon.com/BackontheGrind/posts/john-cozz-on-152903606?l=zh-CN (this is the full episode with John on Patreon)Get Coffee for the Bandit in you (roasted by Pepe)StayFreeCoffee.comBack On The Grind Records - For DIY, Folk Punk, Rap & Merch:backonthegrindrecords.bandcamp.com/musicFollow the podcast on Instagraminstagram.com/backonthegrindpod/?hl=engramReach out...Send us questions, comments or topic suggestions toPodcast@BackOnTheGrindRecords.comLeave a comment/question on Spotify or Instagram (we read them all)***Word of mouth really matters for us.

About This EpisodeCRM3 is the next major evolution in investment cost transparency and it arrives on Canadian investment statements in early 2027.In this episode, Keith Matthews is joined once again by TMA's chief compliance officer and director of operations, Michael Baldoni, for a follow-up to their episode on fiduciary care. CRM3 follows CRM1 and CRM2, two earlier rounds of fee disclosure reform, but goes a step further with a single number, the FER, that shows exactly what your investments cost you in dollars. Keith and Michael break down what's changing, what it means for your statement, and the questions worth asking your own advisor once it arrives.Michael walks through the full history of the CRM framework, from CRM1 in 2009 to CRM2's fee and performance reporting, all the way to what CRM3 will require: a complete, dollar-by-dollar breakdown of every cost layer in a client's portfolio, including embedded fund fees that many investors have never seen clearly reported before.Keith and Michael discuss what investors will actually see on their new statements, who stands to benefit most from this change, which firms and advisors will be under pressure, and what questions every investor should be asking right now.If you want to know exactly what you're paying, and what you're getting for it, this is the episode for you.Happy listening!Key Topics Covered:What is CRM3 and why does it matter for every Canadian investor?

(08:07)MER vs. TER — what most investors don't know about trading expense ratios (08:55)These aren't new fees — the difference between disclosure and transparency (10:51)Walking through the math: the four cost layers on a $1 million portfolio (13:04)Why high-fee strategies will be impossible to hide after CRM3 (15:28)Cost vs. value — why cheapest isn't always best, and why services matter (16:32)Where embedded fees were previously disclosed — and why most investors never noticed (19:05)Does having an embedded fee automatically make an investment bad? (19:42)The hierarchy of investment costs: DIY, stock-picking advisors, index strategies, full-service firms (20:13)The winners: investors and low-cost index-based strategies (22:03)Who will be under pressure: branch-level advisors and high-fee mutual fund providers (23:26)Canada's largest mutual fund — a real example of what CRM3 will reveal (24:11)Questions every investor should ask their advisor right now (26:10)How long before the industry shifts?

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 637 of the Chasing Tone Podcast - The worst time to start a pedal company, a Guitar Summit gear haul, and Fender cancels humCould you realistically start a pedal company and clear $50k in your first year? A Reddit thread and a 60 Cycle Hum livestream posed the question, and the guys have thoughts. Short version: this might be the worst possible moment to launch, but it doesn't matter if you love guitar gear. Speaking of falling in love with gear, Blake shows off a gorgeous player-worn 1965 Fender Mustang in Daphne Blue, and Richard gets genuinely misty-eyed over a 1992 Zoom 9002 ad that made him feel fifteen again.Then it's a proper Guitar Summit gear haul from Mannheim. Top of the pile is the Wampler Pedalhead, now tweaked and sounding mighty fine, alongside the upcoming Tone King Royce. The Boss EX-4 FX Expander gets the guys excited as a clever sidecar for small rigs - four effects at once, slow gear and slicer included - while the Two Notes Torpedo Captor X Pro is basically a Captor X thats been training with Arnie as it is pumped. There's also a jaw-dropping demo room that ping-pongs between sixteen heads and sixteen cabs at the flick of a switch - which Brian now needs in his life.Fender has announced it's "solved" single-coil hum with a secret metal plate under the pickguard - which, the guys note, looks an awful lot like a dummy coil that's been around for years (a humbucker plus twenty percent, as Blake puts it). Brian makes  a heartfelt pitch for a full retro mode on the Wampler website, complete with visitor counter and dancing baby Gifs.Knobless pedals, a skunk that smells like a Willie Nelson concert, missing out on both Google and Bitcoin, the BlackBerry movie, and Brian defending America's spelling one Reddit comment at a time...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!We are on Patreon now too!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/chasingtonepodcast)Courses and DIY mods:https://www.guitarpedalcourse.comhttps://www.bluesguitarmethod.comhttps://www.betterguitartone.comhttps://www.wamplerdiy.comCheck out Oliver Effects:https://oliverfx.co.ukYoutube:https://www.youtube.com/@chasingtonepodcastFind us at:https://www.wamplerpedals.com/https://www.instagram.com/WamplerPedals/https://www.facebook.com/groups/wamplerfanpage/Support the show

Host Chris introduces a brief 10-minute catch-up with director and actor Patrick Brice to discuss Season 3 of The Creep Tapes.- Initial Greetings: Chris and Patrick connect before jumping into the interview.- The Creep Tapes as a Dark SNL Sketch: Chris brings up his realization that the series functions like an SNL sketch, where a recurring character hosts a different celebrity guest star each week.- Developing the Series Structure & Airbnb Production: Patrick discusses using the tapes from the original film as a structural jumping-off point for TV and describes the intimate experience of living and filming in Airbnbs alongside guest stars like Kate Siegel and David Dastmalchian.- The DIY / Punk-Rock Energy: Chris notes how the series balances a DIY, high-school-filmmaking energy with thoughtful structure and planning.- Balancing Deliberate Structure with Absurdity: Patrick reflects on preserving the core DNA of Creep, embracing absurd humor, and how working on this show feels like finding a creative "cheat code."- Catchphrases, Subverting Tropes, and Audience Expectations: Chris and Patrick explore how recurring elements like "Tubby Time" and the mask function as catchphrases for a serial killer entertaining himself, and how the show aims purely to entertain rather than outsmart the audience.- The Razor-Thin Line Between Social Awkwardness and Menace: Discussion on how the show walks the line between uncomfortable silence and terrifying sociopathy. Patrick cites British comedy like Peep Show as a core influence on the show's cringe dynamic and reflects on the dramatic tonal shift in Kate Siegel's episode.- Favorite Jokes & Wrap-Up: Chris highlights a standout Tommy Lee Jones joke from the Kate Siegel episode before wrapping up the interview.If you enjoyed this episode, don't forget to subscribe and leave us a review!

Watch Full Video EpisodeWhat if the same technology we blame for weakening mechanical aptitude could help rebuild it?In this episode of Automotive Field Theory, Matt considers whether YouTube, internet access, and large language models could help address the automotive industry's skill gap. Younger generations may be less likely to grow up around parents, grandparents, or neighbors who routinely repair cars, appliances, and homes—but they now have immediate access to demonstrations, explanations, and step-by-step guidance.These tools can certainly become a crutch. Much like GPS can get someone to a destination without teaching them how to read a map, an instructional video or AI-generated procedure can help someone complete a task without necessarily understanding the underlying system.But that may not be the whole story.For someone without a mechanically inclined mentor, a YouTube video or AI assistant may provide the encouragement and initial guidance needed to attempt a repair. The result will not always be successful, and professional shops regularly see the aftermath of DIY repairs gone wrong. Still, taking something apart, getting stuck, finding additional information, asking for help, and eventually working through the problem can begin developing real mechanical aptitude.That raises an interesting possibility: some of the people who eventually enter the automotive profession may trace their interest not to holding a flashlight for a parent or grandparent, but to repairing their own vehicle with help from a screen.In this episode:How mechanical aptitude was traditionally developedWhy fewer young people grow up around hands-on repairThe similarity between diagnostic databases, AI, and GPSThe difference between following instructions and understanding a systemWhy unsuccessful DIY repairs may still create useful experienceThe limits of translating personal repair experience into professional workHow YouTube and AI could provide a new entry point into the tradesWhether technology is eliminating mechanical aptitude—or cultivating it in a different wayCould the technology we thought was contributing to the skill gap ultimately become part of the solution?Thanks to our Partners, Pico Technology and AutelAre you chasing elusive automotive problems?

Interview with bassist Paul Zamost of The Effigies. Chicago's pioneering punk bands, shaping the Midwest punk scene with their aggressive sound and captivating lyrics. The band's DIY ethos and commitment to authentic themes about corruption and urban alienation positioned them as a seminal influence on the punk scene for generations. Led originally by vocalist John Kezdy, bassist Paul Zamost, drummer Steve Economou and guitarist Earl Letiecq, the band's early work blended the raw energy of classic punk with a distinct Midwestern working class sensibility, setting them apart from the coastal scenes of New York and Los Angeles. Their early performances in small Chicago clubs energized a local community of fans and helped establish the city as a notable hub for punk and alternative music. Early releases such as 1981's “Haunted Town” EP, 1982's 7” single “Body Bag” b/w “Security”, and 1983's “We're Da Machine” cemented the band's significance in the expanding scene.   Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, The Effigies shared stages with many prominent acts, including local favorites Naked Raygun and Big Black, as well as national acts The The, Circle Jerks, Black Flag, The Cramps and PIL. Their live shows became legendary for their intensity and were seen as a threat to the local rock establishment still mired in tribute and cover bands. Renowned record engineer Steve Albini writes that “The Effigies were absolutely essential to development of a healthy punk scene in Chicago. Between them and Naked Raygun in the early 80s they basically kept the scene going until it developed momentum beyond them. The Effigies were a moving force during a crucial and exhilarating time.”   While the band drew inspiration from post-punk, hardcore and metal, they have always maintained that, at heart, they are a punk band. Their music consistently embodies the core values of the punk movement: celebration of individuality, egalitarian ideals, and the power of a committed supportive community.   In 2023, the band emerged from a period of relative inactivity to record a new album. They teamed with Andy Gerber at Million Yen Studios, who also produced the 2007 release Reside, and would go on to take over lead guitar duties with the band. The tragic death of founding member John Kezdy in August of 2023 marked a deeply emotional turning point for the band - Kezdy's vision and charisma had been central to the Effigies identity. Inhonor of his legacy and last works, Burned was released in October of 2024 on BFD Records followed by reissues of 1984's For Ever Grounded and 1985's Fly on a Wire. To support the album releases and continue moving the legacy forward, the band enlisted a new vocalist, Geoff Sabin, whose energy and passion have reinvigorated the group. Their return to the stage has featured festival sets at RiotFest, Rebellion, and PunkRockBowling, a regional tour with The Black Crowes, and coast to coast shows including prominent clubs like Metro, The Whiskey, Sainte Rock, and The Middle East. The live sets havebeen embraced by long-time fans and critics alike, signaling that The Effigies are poised for a new chapter while maintaining the spirit and integrity that Kezdy helped establish. As of 2026, The Effigies are touring extensively, with plans to continue reaching audiences worldwide.  Tickest to SEP 27TH  https://www.bandsintown.com/e/108364731?affil_code=&app_id=js_effigies.com&came_from=700&utm_campaign=event&utm_medium=web&utm_source=widget https://www.instagram.com/theeffigies https://www.facebook.com/share/1DL4Hp63Wr/?mibextid=wwXIfr https://open.spotify.com/artist/17gqhz2M1O1fSw1Uwmeqtv?si=vIdoXARpTsiDTwTSIOYyQg&utm_source=copy-link https://music.apple.com/us/artist/the-effigies/259248417 https://music.youtube.com/search?q=The+Effigies https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=The+Effigies https://www.bandsintown.com/a/150038-the-effigies https://www.tiktok.com/@the.effigies?_r=1&_t=ZP-98dTczMNHaQ    

This week we are joined by Megan, Director of Design at Dupler Office. We learn how Megan's passion for design evolved from rearranging her bedroom to a career in commercial workplace design. Megan describes discovering the field in high school through a craft mall job, choosing Kent State after learning interior design was more technical than she expected, and ultimately focusing on how built environments impact people at work. She explains why she prefers dealer-design work in furniture over A&D firms, citing variety, client engagement, and broad expertise. They also discuss her DIY hobbies and elaborate birthday parties, and preview attending the CET Designer user conference in Cincinnati with most of her team, including the event's costumes and networking.00:00 Meet Megan and Jason00:17 How Megan Found Design01:27 From Pillow Fluffing to Built Environment02:14 Choosing Commercial and Furniture04:10 Technical Creativity and Dealer Life06:54 Dupler Showroom Experience07:50 DIY Projects and Party Planning09:30 CET Experience Conference Plans11:43 Costumes Legos and Community12:18 Thanks and Final Wrap Up

What happens when you've done all the work to stop hating your body…and you still want to change it?Maybe you've spent years undoing diet mentality, learning to eat without guilt, rebuilding trust with your body, stepping away from obsessive tracking, embracing intuitive eating, or finally realizing that a smaller body was never going to make you more worthy.And then one day you realize: I actually do want to lose fat.Now what?Does wanting intentional fat loss mean you failed at body acceptance? Does tracking automatically mean restriction? Does feeling hungry mean you've slipped back into diet culture? And if you pick up tools you intentionally put down during a healing phase, are you “going backwards”?In this episode of The Diet Rebel Podcast, I'm revisiting the Third Option framework from my Beyond Body Positivity work: Grace, Grit & Guardrails.The full Beyond Body Positivity class (as well as all other Inner Game Masterclasses) can be accessed via the Vault.  Learn more about it and other DIY programs here: https://eatmore2weighless.lpages.co/work-with-me/If you know what you want but need help using your current data to build an intentional plan (with guardrails that keep you from sliding back into old patterns) book a Blueprint Call or explore 1:1 coaching below.Book a Blueprint:https://eatmore2weighless.lpages.co/blueprintExplore 1:1 Coachinghttps://eatmore2weighless.lpages.co/book-free-strategy-session/

When Vanessa Hutchinson-Szekely and Raina Mast aren't going bananas about the Golden State Valkyries, they're teaching kids in San Francisco. In this episode, meet and get to know Vanessa and Raina, cohosts of the Valkyries, Say Less podcast. We begin with Vanessa. Her parents met in San Francisco in 1970. Her mom came here the year before from her home country, France. In her mom's first month in The City, she met the man who became Vanessa's dad. She had just finished photography school back home, and planned to return to France. But fate wanted a word with her. Vanessa's dad grew up on the East Coast. Before he settled on creating stain-glass works, getting to know his own artistic bent, he came to San Francisco to explore that side of himself. He met Vanessa's mom. They were young artists, they were in love, and the rest is history. About a decade later, in 1979, they had a kid—Vanessa, their only child. She talks about being on the cusp between Gen X and Millennial, but considers herself mostly Californian/French. With her parents, Vanessa spent (and still often spends) summers in the French Alps. Both being artists, Vanessa's mom realized that between herself and her husband, one of them needed a job that offered health insurance. And so she went to a temp agency. That allowed her dad to pursue his stained-glass art. He later designed the stained glass in the Mrs. Doubtfire house. A lot of his glass art still exists around North Beach. Vanessa grew up amid all that art here in SF. But at the time, she might not have appreciated it like she does today. Eventually, she moved to New York City for college. She was drawn in by the romantic version of NYC depicted in movies and shows. After her time at Columbia University, Vanessa moved to LA to teach. She always knew she would come home, but wasn't sure when. After 11 years away (four in New York and seven in Los Angeles), she came back. She was 30 and had met the man she would later marry. It was time. Riffing off her seven years of teaching middle school in LA, which she started when she was 22, Vanessa came back and found work with the SFUSD, where she's been since 2008. We go on a sidebar about raising kids in San Francisco, something I didn't do but Vanessa did and wants more people to do. She and her Valkyries, Say Less cohost, Raina, met through a mutual friend. Vanessa's version of their meeting 10 years ago is that they were both invited to a party at that mutual friend's house. Vanessa saw Raina and thought, Damn, that is one cool-looking person. We'll hear Raina's version of that story later in Part 1. We end Vanessa's segment by hearing about her SF schools, a must for born-and-raised folks. She's quick to note that she only went to one school for K through 12—the French-American International School. Then we turn to Raina. They grew up in Pennsylvania Amish country, where they played basketball and ran track. They're from Easton, the town where Crayola crayons are made. Raina says the company would often survey town folks to help name new colors. Easton is 1.5 hours away from both New York City and Philadelphia. Both cities called to them, they say. They lived in New York City, Puerto Rico, and Upstate New York. Then they joined friends on a cross-country road trip, looking for a place to call home. After 13 years of Catholic school, they never really felt like the fit in back home. I ask if, like me, Raina is a recovering Catholic. They say they are fully recovered, in fact. Remarkable, especially for a queer woman. Brava! Being one of five kids in their family, with three brothers, was another challenge. Raina's oldest brother was the artist among them. Eventually, they took another trip across the US. New Orleans tried to grab Raina, and possibly almost did. The other choice was San Francisco, but they didn't move here right away. When it came time to move here, their family was shocked not at all. The first visit happened in 2001. There's a really funny story they share about driving through SF and ending up in Sacramento before they realized it. With no GPS and only paper maps, they circled back and this time, exited off the bridge to San Francisco. A few years later, now pregnant, they started thinking, Where do I wanna raise this kid? That's when SF really drew them in. Their younger brother lived here already, with an apartment in the Marina. There are stories about getting bested by The City's hills and wearing sandals and wondering why they were so cold—classic newcomer to San Francisco stuff. Despite all that, they loved it. In 2014, they made the leap. Since arriving to live here, they've lived in the Mission, the Haight, and nowadays, they call the Richmond home. Before their move here, they applied for art school and teaching fellowships at the same time. The teaching gigs they got offered health insurance and more stability, so they chose that path. Today, they are able to walk parallel paths of art and education. They've taught art, but these days, it's Spanish classes. Going back to their meeting story, Raina and Vanessa are both creative folks who also teach. As creative people with not a lot of money, a DIY mindset set in for them individually and together. It's what propelled and inspired them to start their podcast—Valkyries, Say Less. Vanessa speaks to being on the same "teacher rhythm," meaning time off at the same time, stuff like that. Raina adds that, both being Gen Xers, they grew up without women's sports being what it is today. We end Part 1 with Raina's version of meeting Vanessa, who would later be their podcasting partner. Right away, Raina thought Vanessa was very stylish, mostly owing to her French heritage, as they later learned. In May 2025, channeling Raina's music-recording background, Vanessa's podcasting knowledge (she has a meditation show), and both of their love of women's sports, and with the kickoff of the first WNBA team in The Bay, Valkyries, Say Less was born. Check back Thursday for Part 2 with Raina and Vanessa. We recorded this podcast Rikki's Women's Sports Bar in August 2026. Photography by Jeff Hunt

One DM almost convinced Kendra to completely change a webinar that was already working.After someone told her they were disappointed that she didn't teach more about HTMA interpretation, Kendra second-guessed her instincts and added even more teaching to her webinar. The result? Her live sales dropped from six to just two.So she went back to what she already knew: a webinar isn't meant to teach people everything. It's meant to shift their perspective, challenge what they believe to be true, and help them see a problem or solution differently.When she removed the extra teaching and focused on those "micro shifts," the results were dramatically different: eight sales from just 68 live attendees.In this episode, Kendra breaks down what went wrong, why teaching too much can hurt webinar conversions, and why you need to be careful about letting feedback from non-buyers influence how you market and sell.In This Episode:Why teaching too much on a webinar can actually hurt your conversionsThe difference between teaching and creating belief and perspective shiftsHow one piece of feedback from a non-buyer completely got into Kendra's headThe webinar mistake that took her from six sales to twoWhy the pitch is about giving people a reason to buy now, not convincing them that your offer is valuableHow "micro shifts" can be more powerful than giving people a step-by-step solutionWhy your webinar content should sometimes make you feel uncomfortableThe danger of empowering potential clients to DIY something they actually need support withWhy feedback from actual buyers and clients can be more valuable than opinions from people who haven't purchasedWhy you don't need to make everyone your buyer  RESOURCES:Grab the niche statement workbook: DM the words "niche workbook" to me on Instagram @kendraperryincHealth Coach Accelerator, my six month business mentorship for health coaches and practitioners: go.kendraperry.net/hca Find me on Instagram: @kendraperryincWebsite: kendraperry.net  Leave the podcast a 5-star review: https://ratethispodcast.com/wealthy

⚖️ How to Avoid Common Pitfalls in a DIY Divorce? | Los Angeles Divorce Thinking about handling your California divorce yourself? A DIY divorce can give you more control over the process, but completing the paperwork correctly is important. Missing forms, incorrect information, incomplete disclosures, improper service, or inconsistent dates can result in rejected filings, requests for corrections, or unnecessary delays. One common misconception is that filing the paperwork is the entire process. California divorce cases involve multiple steps, including filing, service, financial disclosures, agreements, and submitting the appropriate judgment documents. This video explains some of the most common DIY divorce pitfalls and why getting the details right from the beginning can help keep your case organized.

Ryan Koo and Jourdan Aldredge report from Fantastic Fest 2026 in Austin, Texas, where they explore how the festival is expanding beyond exhibiting genre films to helping filmmakers actually get movies made. They break down the first completed feature from Fantastic Pitches, Nicholas Curcio's Playhouse, what filmmakers can learn from its $100,000 production, and this year's ambitious winning pitch, Father Figure. They also discuss the value of pitching even when you don't win, the advantages of designing films around microbudget constraints, and some of the movies and filmmaking communities they've encountered at the festival. In this episode, No Film School's Ryan Koo and Jourdan Aldredge discuss... How Playhouse went from winning Fantastic Pitches to premiering at Fantastic Fest in just one year Designing a $100,000 movie around limitations like one location, a small cast, and practical aesthetics Why microbudget filmmakers need a creative “hack” that makes their limitations work for the movie How filmmakers can make a live pitch memorable with props, costumes, trailers, and a strong presentation Why being selected for Fantastic Pitches can create opportunities even if you don't win The ambitious Technocrane strategy behind this year's winning pitch, Father Figure What Ryan and Jordan noticed about the DIY films, filmmaking collectives, and genre community at Fantastic Fest Why festivals can have a bigger impact by supporting filmmakers before their movies are made Memorable Quotes: “With filmmaking it's always good, fast, cheap. Pick two. And with Fantastic Pitches, they're trying to do all three.” “You've gotta have a hack to make your pitch audience-friendly.” “The best route is the one that's available to you probably.” “It's easy to select things that turned out well. It's much harder to bet on them at the beginning and to actually help them bring something to fruition.” Resources: Fantastic Fest Fantastic Pitches Find No Film School everywhere: On the Web: No Film School Facebook: No Film School on Facebook Twitter: No Film School on Twitter YouTube: No Film School on YouTube Instagram: No Film School on Instagram

In this episode we answer emails from Michael, Matt, and Ron.  We discuss books for a 30-something family man and practical advicbe for approaching non-fiction more efficiently in the age of AI ChatBots, the world's most famous Easy Chair, and how EDV can work in a risk parity style portfolio.  And THEN we our go through our weekly portfolio reviews of the eight sample portfolios you can find at Portfolios | Risk Parity Radio.Additional Links:The World's Most Famous Easy Chair:  Easy Chair.jpg - Google DriveCatching Up To FI Podcast With Yours Truly in Said Easy Chair:  Are Bonds Dead?: Fixed Income Fundamentals (Part 1) | Frank Vasquez | Episode 229Bigger Pockets Money Podcast feat. Yours Truly:  We Built a 5% SWR Retirement Portfolio Using Fidelity in 48 Minutes (Golden Ratio Portfolio)AI Agent Folllies with Hannah Fry:  Why AI Agents are either the best or worst thing we've ever builtbBreathless Unedited AI-Bot Summary:Most personal finance advice fails for one simple reason: it ignores where you actually are. We start by answering a listener's question about book recommendations, but we do it through a framework that makes the whole money world easier to navigate: four investor levels, from budgeting and cash flow, to early-stage investing, to low-cost index fund competence, to more advanced goal-driven portfolio design. Along the way, we call out the “shiny object” traps where media and marketing keep people stuck buying products instead of building skills.From there we get practical about learning efficiently in 2026: use AI to summarize popular personal finance books, compare what overlaps, and only read the ones that truly fit your family. We talk through standout titles like The Psychology of Money, The Simple Path to Wealth, Die With Zero, and Just Keep Buying, then pivot to what matters most for couples in their 30s with kids: getting on the same page. We share resources built for real relationships, including Ramit Sethi's Money for Couples and a surprisingly useful marriage-centered option from John Gottman that includes guided money conversations.Next, we tackle a classic risk parity investing question: should you use EDV instead of TLT for long-term Treasury bond exposure? We break down bond duration in plain English, why total bond funds like BND can be weak diversifiers against equities, and how Treasury STRIPS funds can change portfolio volatility and sizing. Finally, we run through our weekly portfolio reviews and the current market backdrop, including why managed futures can behave differently when stocks and bonds struggle.If you like data-driven investing with a human filter, subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave us a rating and review so more DIY investors can find it.Support the show
