Clean energy isn't just good for the planet, it's good for your wallet. Solar and wind are now the cheapest power sources in history. But too many politicians would rather protect billionaires than help working families save on their bills. Real change starts when we stop allowing the ultra - rich to write our energy policy and run our government. Let's choose affordable, renewable power. Clean energy means lower costs, more freedom, and a planet that can actually breathe. Promote Celtic culture through music at http://celticmusicpodcast.com/.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan examines President Trump's defense of his plan to double the number of Chinese students in America, Beijing's latest moves to weaponize rare earth minerals, the deepening conflicts in Gaza and Guinea, and how Sweden's cultural war on assimilation mirrors the decline of the West. He closes with promising new medical breakthroughs on Alzheimer's, cancer, heart rhythm, and anxiety. Trump Defends 600,000 Chinese Student Visas: President Trump told Fox News that Chinese students keep American colleges solvent, calling the plan "a business decision." Critics, including Laura Ingraham, warned that Chinese nationals pose espionage and bioweapon risks, while Trump insisted, "MAGA was my idea — I know what MAGA wants better than anybody else." Bryan argues the move exposes Trump's blind spot: treating adversaries as business partners instead of ideological foes. China's Rare Earth Slowdown: Xi Jinping is quietly delaying rare earth export licenses for U.S. buyers, especially those tied to military contracts, while expanding Chinese control of mines in Brazil and Central Asia. Bryan warns that "Beijing seeks domination, not cooperation — we can never trust China on anything." Gaza, Guinea, and the Global Chessboard: Trump's Pentagon is exploring a new base near Gaza to support a 10,000-member Arab stabilization force, while King Abdullah of Jordan says no Arab nation wants to "touch that mission." In Africa, China now controls the world's largest iron-ore mine in Guinea, giving it leverage to flood global steel markets and crush Western industry. Sweden's Self-Destruction: Leftist mayors in Sweden argue that native Swedes must integrate with Arab migrants, not the other way around. Bryan calls it "civilizational suicide" and a warning for America's future: "When a culture stops believing in itself, it dies." Good News in Medicine: Scientists report that NAD⁺ supplements may reverse Alzheimer's symptoms, a high-fiber diet improves melanoma survival, coffee may reduce A-Fib risk, and choline — found in salmon and eggs — helps ease anxiety. Bryan calls it "proof that science, faith, and common sense can still work together."   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Trump Chinese student visas Fox News, Laura Ingraham MAGA debate, China rare earth exports Xi Jinping, Gaza stabilization force Jordan Abdullah, Guinea Simandou iron mine Rio Tinto, Sweden migrant assimilation debate, NAD Alzheimer's research, coffee A-Fib study, choline anxiety nutrient

The Jackpine Mine is an open-pit tar sands project north of Fort McMurray. Last year, the operator applied for a renewal of its licence to operate the mine for another 10 years. In response Ecojustice, the Alberta Wilderness Association, and Keepers of the Water filed a statement of concern asking the Alberta Energy Regulator to recognize the Athabasca River Basin as a “legal person” with the right to participate in decisions that affect its health. We speak with Matt Hulse, a lawyer for Ecojustice.

Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen   This week, we start off with some discussion around Path of Exile 3.27, the Keepers of the Flame league, and how we are doing breach to make things with the tree tree. From there, we talk a bit about the murder of Amazon Game Studios and how New World is essentially a shambling corpse now…  spooky. After that horror story, we needed something chill, so we talked a bit about Powerwash Simulator and its interesting method for delivering a story.  Grace and Bel finally finish the Destiny Rising raid and talk a bit about how good it is at teaching mechanics in lower-level content.  Dispatch is a wildly good game that is being delivered in an episodic method that feels like you are playing a really good television show.  Guild Wars 2 Visions of Eternity launched and we talk about some of our early thoughts, namely around the builds introduced by the new elite specs.  Finally, we talk a bit about Outer Worlds 2 and how it makes good on the idea of Obsidian's very own Fallout New Vegas that the first game started.   Topics Discussed: Path of Exile 3.27 Keepers of the Flame The Tree Tree New World in Zombie Mode Powerwash Simulator Destiny Rising Raid Dispatch GW2 Visions of Eternity Early Thoughts Outer Worlds 2

I know what you are thinking, “gee, it seems like it's been a while since I last heard an episode from my number one favorite podcast, Keepers Of The Fringe.  I wonder what's going on with them?” Well, my friend, you are correct, it has been a while, and so the Keepers released this here […]

This week on The Found Podcast, we're diving into the heart of friendship — the kind that's rooted in laughter, ritual, and showing up for each other year after year. As ambitious women, it's easy to let work and responsibilities crowd out connection. But our friendships, the chosen families we build, are what keep us grounded, joyful, and human. In this episode, I'm sharing stories of the traditions that have kept my friendships alive through every season of life, from Christmas candy-making and cookie swaps to spontaneous “meet the baby” dinners and annual scavenger hunts. We'll also explore what the research says about why rituals matter and how you can start or sustain your own. Because years from now, it won't be the to-do lists we remember. It'll be the people we gathered with along the way. What You'll Hear in This Episode: Why friendship is a choice, and how to intentionally invest in it The story behind Molly's 16(ish)-year Christmas candy-making tradition  How shared rituals create meaning, stability, and belonging The difference between everyday rituals, seasonal traditions, and life milestone moments Practical ideas for creating simple, sustainable traditions with friends Why connection (not perfection) is what keeps friendships thriving Key Quotes: “You won't remember your to-do list five years from now. But you'll remember the time you spent gathered with the people you love.” “Rituals and traditions don't have to be fancy — they just have to be meaningful.” Resources & Links: Awake by Jen Hatmaker — a recommended read on friendship, resilience, and community The Psychology of Rituals Thriving Together: The Benefits of Women's Social Ties Follow Molly on Instagram: @mollyknuth Join the conversation and get updates via The Found Field Notes

"With a performer, players can make their own stories." Will and Kim Rutherford met at a summer pool party while in college. Kim recruited Will to help her win a floaty race across the pool. Alas, they lost. " I thought the floaty race was for fun and apparently it was for, I don't know, life bragging rights or something," says Will. Since then, the couple have gone on to many other creative adventures, including creating home haunts. Will even proposed to Kim on Halloween while they were both still in their costumes. So when Will and Kim played their first escape room, they immediately thought it could be like a permanent home haunt experience that they didn't have to tear down and put up every year. They jumped in with both feet, and although they made a lot of mistakes along the way, Escape Artist Greenville was born. Today they have the second highest ranked escape room in the USA (Castle Fluffendor). They've also created a three-hour experience that combines three of their top escape rooms into one narratively cohesive saga called The Chimera Corp Saga. REA reviewer Matthew Stein calls it “a masterpiece of episodic storytelling.” Will and Kim join us on REPOD to talk about the thought process behind their compelling games. I especially appreciated hearing about how they're escape room enthusiasts themselves, and regularly travel the world playing games and seeking inspiration. They tell us, “we are trying to go to the most diverse, immersive experiences that we can and seek out things that actually are a little outside of our comfort zone.” The Rutherfords have also recently joined the team at Keepers of Balance and helped them launch their first project, the epic Temple of Light, which recently won a Golden Lock award. Will and Kim have a boundless enthusiasm for the escape room industry, and I hope you find this conversation as inspiring as I did.     Episode Sponsors We are immensely grateful to our sponsors this season: REA Patreon Backers, PG's Playhouse, Buzzshot, and COGS.

Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen   Hey Folks! This week, Grace and Bel start off the show talking about how good Destiny Rising has been now that they have arrived at the endgame.  They also talk a bit about Helhest, the new banner character. Grace shares her initial thoughts about He is Coming a roguelike that they have been playing. Bel shares some of the early spoilers for Path of Exile 3.27 Keepers of the Flame, which we are getting a full reveal for on the 23rd and is starting on the 31st.  It seems like we are maybe getting a Breach expansion league, with a bunch of quality of life changes.  From there, we dive into the topic that got bumped from last week about how there are so many good games… that it makes it really hard to play less-than-excellent games anymore. We also talk about how players are seeing through pointless grinds, and how AA games are back with a vengeance, while AAA games are floundering.   Topics Discussed Destiny Rising Helhest Banner Master and Grandmaster Mode Content Trikora Happened He Is Coming Path of Exile 3.27 Spoilers Keepers of the Flame Breach League When There Are Too Many Games Players Rebelling Against Grind The Rise of AA Games The Floundering of AAA Games Questionable Business Decisions

As Halloween swiftly approaches, we've conjured up a classic from the Modern Law Library crypt. What do zombies and pirates have to do with the law? Grab your candy and find out as host Lee Rawles is joined by Paul Golden, author of Litigating Adverse Possession Cases: Pirates v. Zombies.  —---- “Trespassing plus time equals adverse possession,” Paul Golden writes in his new book, Litigating Adverse Possession Cases: Pirates v. Zombies. When someone has occupied or used a piece of property as though they own it for long enough, a court could determine that they are the rightful owner—regardless of what the paperwork says. It's a concept more popularly discussed as squatter's rights. In this episode of The Modern Law Library, Golden speaks with the ABA Journal's Lee Rawles about the ancient concepts underlying modern adverse possession law; some quirky state laws; and why societies would allow land to be transferred in this way. They also discuss how the plain meaning of terms like “hostile” are changed when used in adverse possession cases, and Rawles raises a hypothetical—taken from real life—of a neighbor's crooked fence. During Golden's first appearance on The Modern Law Library, he explained how the lack of a written contract could be navigated by a savvy lawyer. In his new book, Golden guides attorneys and their clients through the finer points of arguing for and against adverse possession claims. He shares some of the errors he's seen pop up in adverse possession cases, and offers advice for how to avoid common pitfalls.

Some of the dirtiest secrets of South African politics and policing are being laid before the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry and Parliament's Ad Hoc committee. In this interview, Action Society's Juanita du Preez tells Chris Steyn "It's almost sickening that people can have so much against another person that they can actually ruin a whole country because of those secrets...and we will only see how much ruin actually happened and is still going to happen after everything comes out, after the secrets come out - if all of them come out.” Du Preez comments on the safety fears for Witness X, the health fears for CI Chief General Dumisani Khumalo, suspended Deputy Commissioner Shadrack Sibiya's muted performance at the Ad Hoc Committee, the way President Cyril Ramaphosa's has framed his link by former marriage to Tembisa Hospital looting kingpin Hangwani Maumela, the WhatsApp messages between tender tycoon “Cat” Matlala and some very prominent people, as well as the erratic behaviour of former Police Minister Senzo Mchunu, now on special leave.

I recently asked myself, "Do I really know how to access the power God makes available to covenant keepers?"  Pres. Nelson expressed the need for this knowledge but I don't think I ever let it sink in. Then I had an experience that left me so desperate for help and healing that my only option was to access God's promised power in my life. It is a bit vulnerable for me to share but the Spirit urged me on. I truly hope you will gain insights that will help you experience healing you never thought possible because that is exactly what happened to me. Follow me on all social media platforms @amberdawnpearceCome with me on an Alaskan Cruise July 30- August 6th 2026!  I will be presenting twice a day on the days at sea.

The business world rewards those bold enough to bet on seismic shifts; those who don't just ride the wave, but fundamentally reshape the tide. In a fascinating conversation with Tien Tzuo, legendary founder of Zoura, we get a rare look into category design, entrepreneurial persistence, and the mindset required to rewire an entire industry, as Tzuo did for the subscription economy. As technology continues to accelerate, with AI now setting the stage for yet another major leap, this dialogue holds powerful lessons for anyone seeking to lead, not follow. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go.   Building Enduring Category Leaders: Evangelism and Timing Legendary startups aren't created by chance. As Tien Tzuo describes, successful category creation starts with seeing a shift others overlook, then boldly evangelizing that vision. "Part of the category is to say, okay, there's a shift that's happening with this new technology. It's a significant, meaningful, profound shift." - Tien Tzuo Tien Tzuo's journey with Zoura began well before “subscription” was a buzzword; when Netflix mailed DVDs and Wall Street scoffed at recurring revenue. He and his team endured blank stares and skepticism, proving that timing, storytelling, and the relentless ability to communicate the new reality separates mere participants from true category leaders.   The Relentless Power of Story and Persistence Distilling complex ideas into a market-moving narrative is as important as technical innovation. Tzuo credits much of Zoura's momentum to persistent storytelling: on stage, in books, and across every communication platform available. “What I saw was good storytellers…talk about a big, big trend that's happening all around us…the market, the world.” Writing a book, he admits, was hard but necessary. "The only person that can tell your company story is you. Right, because it's your idea, it's your vision." For founders, being ignored or doubted isn't a sign to pivot away; it's a signal to refine and hammer home the message until the world is ready to hear it.   Tien Tzuo's Advice for Category Creators in the AI Era Today, the pace of change is faster than ever. Yet the recipe for winning new categories remains strikingly consistent. Tzuo counsels entrepreneurs to begin with their unique insight into a megatrend, not with the category label itself: “Don't start with a category. Start with…what gives you a right to exist?” - Tien Tzuo The logic applies in AI as much as SaaS: massive investments will be lost by those chasing what's already established, while the next category-defining companies will stay close to their customers, listen relentlessly, and focus on the transformation they alone can catalyze. As Tzuo puts it, “With every new technology shift, there's an opportunity to displace an incumbent.;” if you have the courage to shape, not just surf, the future.

When it comes to startup success, few voices are as insightful as Rich Hagberg and Tien Tzuo. On this episode of “Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different,” these two innovators unveiled the complex tapestry of traits, behaviors, and pitfalls that define great founders. With decades of psychological research and hands-on experience in the tech ecosystem, they've distilled their findings in their new book, Founders, Keepers: Why Founders Are Built to Fail and What It Takes to Succeed. This lively, honest conversation goes far beyond the usual business platitudes, aiming to equip listeners, whether aspiring entrepreneurs, seasoned founders, or investors, with tools for self-awareness, adaptability, and ultimately, building companies that last. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go.   The Double-Edged Sword of Founders: Why Strengths Can Be Weaknesses One of the core insights that Hagberg and Tzuo bring forward is the “double-edged sword” nature of founder psychology. Successful founders often possess massive vision and creative drive, seeing the future before others do and inspiring teams with almost evangelical zeal. Yet, these very strengths can morph into ticking time bombs as companies grow. Founders are frequently high in vision but far less gifted in execution or relationship building. Hagberg's decades of data, including 50+ measured personality elements and 46 leadership competencies, reveal consistent patterns: founders often struggle to manage and scale companies beyond their own shadow. As Hagberg observes, those strong on visionary skills can be “allergic to structure,” resisting the very systems and processes that enable growth and stability. Tien Tzuo, drawing on his own journey as a founder, recounts the moment when his company started unraveling as it outgrew his initial hands-on approach. The culture suffered, teams fragmented, and productivity declined. Only by honestly confronting his own leadership shortcomings and seeking help from coaches like Hagberg, was he able to pivot and build an organization beyond himself. The lesson is clear: self-awareness is not optional; it's the foundation for sustainable success.   The Critical Role of Self-Awareness, Adaptability, and “Recovering Founders” Delving deeper, Lochhead, Hagberg, and Tzuo discuss a trait that repeatedly separates successful founders from those destined to “blow up”: brutal, reflective self-awareness. Hagberg's research shows that founders who actively seek feedback, reflect on both successes and failures, and are open to learning are dramatically more successful than their peers. It's not just about innate curiosity; it's about the willingness to recognize weakness, hire complementary strengths, and genuinely adapt as the organization matures. This journey often requires what the guests jokingly call becoming a “recovering founder,” someone who learns the hard way that vision alone won't scale an enterprise. The most successful founders are those who create adaptable organizations, listen keenly to advisors and employees, and deliberately build processes for collective decision-making. They reserve their opinions in meetings, choosing instead to solicit diverse viewpoints before weighing in; a counterintuitive move that leads to more honest conversations and smarter strategy. The inability to adapt, on the other hand, is lethal. Data from Hagberg's cohorts shows that unsuccessful founders are consistently more egotistical and stubborn, craving to be right over being successful and cultivating environments where disagreement is stifled. This leads to what Hagberg terms “sunflower bias”; teams that simply turn to follow the founder, rather than challenging assumptions or uncovering blind spots.   Building Teams, Accountability, and the Myth of the Asshole Genius
