I didn't grow up driving. In Poland, I was terrified of it. But when I moved to the U.S. as an au pair, everything changed. My host families handed me the keys, first to a giant Chevy, then a little Honda, and eventually a Subaru I drove for years. All of them were given to me. I was still scared, still unsure, still depending on what was handed to me.In this episode, I take you through the timeline of how cars shaped my self-concept. From co-signing for my ex's Mercedes (and never driving it), to buying my first Range Rover in cash simply because I liked how it looked, even though I had no idea what I was doing. From forcing myself to drive into Manhattan every Friday for Landmark classes (because if I wanted to grow, I had to drive), to walking into a dealership after quitting my job and negotiating my first Mercedes with a female salesperson.And then came the G-Wagon. It wasn't about money, I could afford it. It was about visibility. About wondering if it was too much. But I got it anyway. That car became my armor, my office, my way of saying “I'm doing this, even if I'm still scared.” And I grew. Big time. Financially, emotionally, professionally. Until I didn't need the armor anymore.That's when I walked into Porsche, asked for exactly what I wanted, paid in full, and drove off in a car that felt like me. Not the version of me who needed to prove anything. The version who knows who she is.This episode isn't about cars. It's about expansion, ownership, and the physical things that can support your growth, if you're intentional. A Chanel bag won't make you confident. A Mercedes won't fix your self-worth. But if you're already evolving, the right container, whether it's a car, a move, or coaching, can help you step into it faster.If you're in a season of becoming and this resonates, reach out. ⁠⁠⁠https://monikaamazur.as.me/CoffeeandGoals⁠⁠⁠

"So those bastards bumped the bridge down so that nobody could use it, and the locals got pissed off at that 'cause they enjoyed having a bridge. So they rebuilt it."This trip was one of the most fun and immersive ones we've recorded so far. Pai has this laid-back charm and unexpected beauty that really took us by surprise.Adrie and I take you along as we explore some of Pai's must-see spots — and wow, what a day. We started with the National Park Hot Springs, where the water gets hot enough to boil eggs (or a human, seriously). Then we checked out the WWII Memorial Bridge (Nara Bridge), which has a surprisingly cool history behind it. After that, we made our way across the Bamboo Bridge, a nearly 1-kilometer-long structure built for the ‘Gram, complete with swings, hearts, and even a ladder to nowhere. Finally, we wrapped things up at the breathtaking — and slightly terrifying — Pai Canyon for sunset. It was beautiful, hilarious, a bit slippery, and definitely memorable. If you're heading to Pai or just want to know what it's really like, this one's for you.Key TakeawaysPai Hot Springs are natural and beautiful, but can be dangerous — always check temperatures and wear grippy shoes.Respect local customs — the hot springs are used by locals, so be clean and mindful (no peeing, no weed, no booze!).Tha Pai Memorial Bridge has a rich WWII history — rebuilt multiple times and now a perfect selfie stop.Bamboo Bridge is a modern tourist gem, filled with photo ops — hearts, swings, and “ladder to nowhere” included.Pai Canyon offers stunning views, but be prepared for narrow paths, sheer drops, and zero handrails — not for the faint-hearted.Chapters & Timestamps[00:02:00] Cultural Tips + Slippery Rocks Lo"Send me a message!"7 Bridges Brewing Co. - An award winning Vietnamese craft brewery from Da Nang, with breweries across Vietnam!Rabbit Hole Irish Sports Bar - Check out their new location on Tran Nao with the best views in the city over Landmark 81!

In the regular quarterly update looking at the latest statistics from Landmark, Today's Conveyancer Podcast host David Opie is joined by Ben Robinson and Rob Gurney of Landmark to pore over the latest Property Trends report covering the first quarter of 2025. Given the changes to stamp duty thresholds on 1st April 2025 there is no surprise the first quarter of the year has seen a sizeable increase in the number of completions, up 30% in the first quarter year-on-year and a staggering 71% on March 2024. And the good news keeps on coming with key indicators of continuing stability looking positive for the remainder of 2025; including an 8% rise in mortgage valuation volumes year on year driven by greater interest rate stability (the podcast was recorded just before the Bank of England rates cut announcement on 8th May). Sold Subject to Contract (SSTC) activity was also up month-on-month, with the 4.4% increase suggesting new activity entering the pipeline regardless of SDLT changes.Summary of Q1 year-on-year activity for England and Wales:Listing volumes up 1%SSTC down 9%Search order volumes up 8%Completions up 30%Listen in to this shorter podcast for the latest insight and opinion. The Today's Conveyancer podcast can be found on your preferred podcast provider and also at www.todaysconveyancer.co.uk.

"I think the Scottish accent's been voted one of the sexiest, but it's also, some of them, one of the most disgusting" - CraigThis bonus episode was a hilarious trip down memory lane. Craig and I just let loose with our Scottish accents, sharing stories about growing up in Glasgow that we've never really talked about on the main show. The cultural differences, the misunderstandings with Americans, and the unique character of Glasgow compared to the rest of Scotland - it all came pouring out in our natural voices. I think listeners will get a real kick out of hearing us in our element, not holding back on the Scottish slang and experiences that shaped us before we moved abroad. It's raw, it's authentic, and it's Glasgow through and through.What's fascinating is how our identities are still so tied to Scotland even though we've both been away for decades. The way we slip in and out of our accents, the experiences that only make sense to other Scots - it's like carrying a piece of home with you that never quite fades, even when you have no plans to move back. This episode really captures that weird space of being proudly Scottish while also acknowledging why we chose to build our lives elsewhere.Key Takeaways: - The difficulties of being understood with a Scottish accent in America and how Niall had to adapt his speech to be understood- How Americans have particular difficulty understanding Scottish accents, especially with words like "bottle of water" - Discussion of Scottish comedy (Kevin Bridges, Still Game) and how specific cultural references don't translat"Send me a message!"7 Bridges Brewing Co. - An award winning Vietnamese craft brewery from Da Nang, with breweries across Vietnam!Rabbit Hole Irish Sports Bar - Check out their new location on Tran Nao with the best views in the city over Landmark 81!

The UK and India have finalised a major trade agreement, reducing tariffs on UK exports including gin, whisky and cars.

This is an update from Episode #155 & # 163 & #201 & #223 & the last one posted on 11th July 2024 after Scott's Daughter was murdered in the hospital. Now he has taken a landmark lawsuit. Previous Episode https://www.awakeningpodcast.org/update-an-landmark-covid-court-case-scott-schara/#covidlawsuit #hospitalcorruption #gracesdadAbout my Guest:Grace's dad, Scott Schara, is working tirelessly to bring his daughter's story to all corners of this country, and even across the world to Australia, to help prevent anyone else from going through the pain of losing a loved one at the hands of medical personnel.  More importantly, he hopes Grace's story will stir people's hearts to turn to the Lord – the only one who will protect them into eternity.   Grace, a 19-year-old girl with Down syndrome was killed by the actions of unethical medical personnel. Scott had to watch Grace die on FaceTime because he was prevented from being with her in the hospital, and no doctor or nurse would help save her life because of an illegal Do Not Resuscitate order placed on Grace without family consent.   The good news is Grace's work here on earth isn't done. It's only beginning. The love she demonstrated to everyone when she was with us continues to live on through Scott and his family. What we Discussed: 00:15 Who is Scott and what is his mission02:20 They were not Awake04:05 What they Tested their daughter06:00 Legal Vs Illegal06:40 Drugs used that should never be used together09:00 We are afraid going into Hospital11:35 The number countries with more casualities12:45 How to help with the Lawsuit13:40 Is it possible to have the court case live online14:40 What the Lawsuit Claim is About17:50 They must convince 10 of 12 to win19:00 With Corruption how do we know the Jury is not placed21:00 Jury Selection is not Random22:25 A jury Foreman telling his experience24:00 The Jury can pick up on genuineness25:00 The amount of time for the court case daily26:25 What I think Scott is perfect for this Court Case28:50 Whay are they so little Lawsuits against hospitals31:00 Can we Reall Trust the Science33:45 The Standard of Care34:20 What Dr's Recommend for Cancer36:40 What is BOHICA37:30 What are people not open to Alternative Medicine41:30 What Medicare is about43:00 How they modified the Medical system46:45 Standing in your Sovereignity48:20 How the Song about his daughter was created49:20 How to Donate and find Scott50:30 The Song created for his daughter who was murderedHow to Contact Scott Donate https://www.givesendgo.com/theskysthelimit https://ouramazinggrace.net/home www.GraceSchara.com ouramazinggrace.substack.com ===============Donations ⁠⁠https://www.podpage.com/speaking-podcast/support/⁠⁠------------------All about Roy / Brain Gym & Virtual Assistants athttps://roycoughlan.com/------------------

This week marks the 25th anniversary of the historic passage of the civil unions law in Vermont. On April 25, 2000, after a remarkable four-month marathon of public hearings, legislative maneuvering, protests, counter-demonstrations and statewide soul-searching, the Vermont House of Representatives voted 79-68 to pass the civil unions bill, the most sweeping grant of rights to gay couples in the nation. The law allowed same sex couples to form civil unions, the legal equivalent of heterosexual marriage. Gov. Howard Dean signed it into law the next day.Rep. Bill Lippert was the lone openly gay Vermont legislator in 2000 and led the fight for passage of civil unions and later same-sex marriage. I was a reporter covering these historic events for Mother Jones. Lippert invited me onto the House floor moments after civil unions passed in 2000 to interview him and other supporters of the bill. I described how Lippert made a beeline across the House floor to thank Rep. Bill Fyfe, an 84-year-old former jail warden and Republican state representative from Newport City. His wife was in the hospital, and Fyfe was due to have surgery the following day. But he made sure to be in the Statehouse to cast his vote for civil unions.I asked Fyfe why he had voted for the bill. He looked at me through his thick glasses and his eyes began to water. “Because he's one of my better friends here,” he said, motioning to Lippert. “And there were two ladies who were my next-door neighbors for many years …” He broke into a soft sob. “They were treated terrible. I'm just glad I could do something to help.”Lippert squeezed Fyfe's shoulder to comfort him, “People can be cruel, Bill,” Lippert said.Vermont's civil unions law passed four months after the Vermont Supreme Court ruled in Baker v. Vermont that gay and lesbian couples were entitled to the same legal rights and benefits of marriage as heterosexual couples. The court ordered the Vermont legislature to craft a law that would satisfy the ruling, either by legalizing same-sex marriage or by creating an equivalent partnership structure. The decision, wrote Chief Justice Jeffrey Amestoy, “is simply a recognition of our common humanity.”Vermont's civil unions law was a tipping point for the national movement for LGBTQ+ rights. In 2009, Vermont became the first state to legalize same-sex marriage through an act of the legislature, overriding a gubernatorial veto to do so.In 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-4, in the landmark case Obergefell v. Hodges, that same-sex couples could wed throughout the country. Today, LGBTQ+ rights are under attack. President Donald Trump has targeted transgender people with a slew of executive orders. Hundreds of bills aimed at restricting LGBTQ+ rights have been introduced in state legislatures and in Congress. Many people fear that a conservative U.S. Supreme Court could roll back LGBTQ+ rights, including the right to marry.Bill Lippert was living in Philadelphia when he first visited Vermont in 1972 to hike the Long Trail. He had just come out and recalled that he had trouble finding even one other gay man in the state. Lippert became active in Vermont's small gay rights movement and went on to serve 28 years in the Vermont House of Representatives from 1994 to 2022 as the representative from Hinesburg. He served as chair of the House Judiciary Committee for a decade and then chaired the House Health Care Committee.Lippert, 75, is now retired and working on preserving Vermont LGBTQ+ history, including recounting his own experiences as a gay activist and gay legislator in Vermont.Lippert acknowledged that winning civil unions was viewed by some gay rights advocates — including lead attorney (now federal judge) Beth Robinson — as a defeat.Lippert said that he knew that “this fight for marriage equality in Vermont was going to be the biggest gay rights fight perhaps of our lifetime.” But he said that as a legislator for six years, “I could tell what was achievable and what wasn't. It was clear (that) full marriage equality in the year 2000 was not feasible. It was not going to happen.”Lippert insisted that civil unions “was an important step that brought us ultimately to full marriage equality.” And he was determined to build that bridge.“When civil unions passed, I made a personal commitment to myself that if I could continue to be re-elected, I would stay in the Legislature until we achieved full marriage equality, and that happened in 2009,” he said.Lippert says that today's political attacks on trans people has a familiar ring. “Trans people are being used as a target because it's the ‘unknown,'” he said. “Gay and lesbian people used to be the scary unknown, but that doesn't work anymore in the same way.”I asked Lippert what concerns him most today. “The taking away of our basic democratic rights,” he said. “The shocking willingness to detain and deport people who have every right to be here because they've been granted that right.”“I am an optimist by nature, but this is a frightening time, and I've participated in more protests and demonstrations in the last month than I had in the last 10 years,” he said. “And I think it's important that we do that. We deserve to have the country that some of us have fought for … by fighting for civil rights, for LGBTQ+ rights, rights for women, rights for religious freedom.”The passage of civil unions came at a price. Seventeen legislators who supported civil unions in 2000 were defeated in elections the following November as part of the “Take Back Vermont” movement. Lippert takes inspiration from those elected officials.“One of the lessons that I take from civil unions is that there are still people of tremendous personal moral courage and political courage,” Lippert said. He mentioned defeated Republican legislators John Edwards, Marion Milne, Diane Carmolli and Bill Fyfe.“When you're not part of the same ‘despised minority' but you say it's wrong to have discrimination against them, it's wrong to be prejudiced against them — you get attacked as well. And they did so,” he said.“They did the right thing. They chose to stand up,” Lippert said. “That girds my hopefulness.”

"I planned to do six months. I planned to do like Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, that kind of bit of Southeast Asia and never left Vietnam.... It's so unlike any other place I've ever been." - Craig HaggartThis episode was a long time coming, and it was more than worth the wait. I've been trying to get Craig on the show for over six months, and sitting down with someone who not only shares my hometown but also so many formative experiences was something truly special. As two Glaswegians in Saigon, the nostalgia and humor flowed naturally—and maybe a bit too much football chat!What struck me most was Craig's vulnerability and openness. From his journey as a gay man in Glasgow to finding community in Vietnam, and navigating love, culture, and identity—he told it all with humility and a cracking sense of humor. I know listeners will take something valuable from this episode, whether it's a laugh, a moment of reflection, or simply a reminder of how far we can come when we step into the unknown.Key Takeaways: The chaotic beauty of Vietnam – “It's so unlike any other place… the smells, the lights, the busyness—it's sensory overload.”Coming out in Glasgow at 14 – Craig candidly shares what it was like to come out young and navigate high school as a gay teen.Vietnamese culture and family acceptance – Insight into being part of a liberal Vietnamese family and his relationship with his Northern-born boyfriend.Scottish identity and sectarianism abroad – A raw discussion on how football-related sectarianism follows Scots globally, and how i"Send me a message!"7 Bridges Brewing Co. - An award winning Vietnamese craft brewery from Da Nang, with breweries across Vietnam!Rabbit Hole Irish Sports Bar - Check out their new location on Tran Nao with the best views in the city over Landmark 81!

Episode 300 The first genetically engineered synapses have been implanted in a mammal's brain. Chemical brain signals have been bypassed in the brains of mice and replaced with electrical signals, changing their behaviour in incredible ways. Not only did they become more sociable, they were also less anxious and exhibited fewer OCD-like symptoms. This work has sparked hope that one day we could use this technology to help humans with mental health conditions. But would you want someone making permanent edits to your brain? For the first time, climate scientists can now link specific fossil fuel companies to climate-related economic damages in particular places. A new method has been developed that can show the exact impact these companies are having on our environment - which the world's top five emitters linked to trillions of dollars of economic losses. Find out how scientists have managed to piece this together - and whether these companies are about to face massive lawsuits. As we reflect on the death of Pope Francis, we explore his legacy on scientific issues and his transformative stance on climate change. As the spiritual leader of 1.4 billion Catholics, he became an influential figure in advocating for better care to be taken of our planet. Will his legacy continue with the next Pope? Chapters: (00:28) First brain engineering in a mammal (10:57) Landmark in fossil fuel lawsuits (19:33) Climate legacy of Pope Francis Hosted by Rowan Hooper and Penny Sarchet, with guests Alexandra Thompson, James Dinneen, William Schafer, Chris Callahan, Justin Mankin and Miles Pattenden.

This Day in Legal History: Army-McCarthy Hearings BeginOn April 22, 1954, the Army-McCarthy hearings began in Washington, D.C., marking a pivotal moment in American legal and political history. The televised proceedings, which stretched over two months, were convened to investigate conflicting accusations between Senator Joseph McCarthy and the U.S. Army. McCarthy claimed the Army was sheltering communists; the Army countered that McCarthy and his chief counsel, Roy Cohn, had improperly pressured military officials to give preferential treatment to a former McCarthy aide.These hearings drew millions of viewers and brought McCarthy's aggressive, often unsubstantiated allegations into public view. Under questioning, McCarthy's bullying tactics and disregard for evidence became increasingly apparent. The most famous moment came when Army counsel Joseph Welch rebuked McCarthy with the now-historic line, “Have you no sense of decency, sir?”—a turning point in the hearings and in public perception of McCarthy.As support for McCarthy dwindled, the hearings exposed the dangers of reckless accusations without due process, a central legal concern during the Red Scare. Later that year, the Senate formally censured McCarthy, effectively ending his political influence. The hearings stand as a cautionary tale about the abuse of investigatory powers and the erosion of civil liberties in times of national fear. They also highlight the essential role of transparency and accountability in American governance. The legacy of the Army-McCarthy hearings continues to inform debates over the balance between national security and individual rights.Alphabet's Google faces a major antitrust trial starting Monday in Washington, as the U.S. Department of Justice and 38 state attorneys general seek to break up its dominance in the search engine market. Central to the government's case is a proposal for Google to sell its Chrome browser and potentially even its Android operating system if competition isn't restored. Prosecutors argue that Google's exclusive agreements, like those paying billions to Apple and other companies to be the default search engine, have harmed rivals, including emerging AI firms like Perplexity AI and OpenAI.Google insists the DOJ's demands are extreme and warns that ending these deals could harm browser makers like Mozilla and raise smartphone costs. U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta is presiding over the trial, expected to last three weeks. Google plans to appeal any unfavorable ruling and argues that its deals help fund free, open-source technology. The case follows a separate DOJ victory last week, where a judge found Google maintained an illegal monopoly in ad tech. The trial's outcome could dramatically reshape how Americans access information online and influence future antitrust enforcement, with similar scrutiny already aimed at companies like Meta.Google faces trial in US bid to end search monopoly | ReutersThe U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear Minnesota's appeal defending its law that barred individuals under 21 from obtaining permits to carry handguns in public. This decision leaves in place a ruling from the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that found the restriction unconstitutional under the Second Amendment. The case is one of many that have challenged age-based and other gun restrictions following the Supreme Court's 2022 Bruen decision, which established that firearm regulations must align with the nation's historical traditions to be valid.Gun rights groups, including the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus and Firearms Policy Coalition, challenged the law, arguing it infringed on the rights of 18- to 20-year-olds. Minnesota defended the law as a modest safety measure, noting that youths already have access to guns under specific conditions, such as hunting or supervision. The 8th Circuit disagreed, saying the state failed to prove that young adults posed a sufficient threat or that the restriction had historical precedent.While more than 30 states have similar age-related laws, Minnesota's could no longer be enforced once the appeals process concluded. The case underscores how courts are interpreting and applying the Bruen test, which has reshaped the legal landscape for gun laws. Although the Supreme Court has upheld some modern firearm restrictions, it has consistently signaled that any such laws must fit within historical frameworks.US Supreme Court won't save Minnesota age restriction on carrying guns | ReutersIn my column for Bloomberg Tax this week, I talk about the risk posed by the Department of Government Efficiency's (DGE) access to taxpayer data. If the federal government wants more access to your tax data, it should have to meet a high bar—proving a clear need, protecting the information, and being transparent about how it's used. Right now, the DGE, spearheaded by Elon Musk, is pushing for expanded access to the IRS's Integrated Data Retrieval System (IDRS), which holds deeply sensitive taxpayer records. The rationale? To root out fraud and streamline federal oversight. But noble intentions aren't a substitute for safeguards—and as it stands, DGE hasn't provided any clear guardrails for how it would handle this data.We've seen how this can go wrong. In Sweden, the national tax agency is now facing a lawsuit for sharing taxpayer data with private companies, including marketers and data brokers. Sweden's commitment to constitutional transparency has been used to justify these disclosures, even as they appear to violate Europe's strict privacy laws. It's a reminder that transparency can be weaponized, and privacy treated as an inconvenience. If that sounds extreme, just imagine your tax return fueling a marketing database in the name of government openness.In the U.S., Section 6103 of the tax code makes unauthorized disclosure of taxpayer data a felony. DGE's quest to tap into the IDRS raises serious questions about whether internal access could amount to disclosure, especially if it increases the risk of leaks, misuse, or political meddling. DGE already has access to some refund-related data, but it's now seeking far more granular insight—without explaining what it will do with it, or how it will prevent abuse.What Sweden's case makes clear is that even the best intentions can lead to disastrous outcomes when privacy is not treated as sacrosanct. The U.S. should take that warning seriously. Taxpayer data is among the most sensitive information the government holds. Expanding access to it—especially by an agency as vaguely defined as DGE—should not happen without a fully transparent, purpose-limited, and accountable framework.Until then, DGE should not be granted access to the IRS's IDRS system or any individualized taxpayer information. The risks are too high, and the protections too flimsy. This is a public episode.

Our guest in this episode is Josselyne Herman-Saccio, a master coach and transformative leader who empowers people to live the life of their dreams with her "Unmessable with" philosophy. In her conversation with host Jürgen Strauss, Josselyne explores the power of shifting beliefs, living dreams now, and maintaining a focus on vision over vehicles for lasting fulfilment. Key points discussed include:* Shedding Limiting Beliefs for Dream Fulfilment: Josselyne shares her journey of overcoming the belief that art couldn't be a career, which led to achieving her dreams with ease.* Living Dreams in the Present: She emphasises creating visions that can be experienced now, urging us to manifest desired life experiences rather than postponing them to a future "someday."* Harnessing Vision Versus Vehicles: Josselyne explains the distinction between vision and vehicles, encouraging a focus on vision to navigate life's uncertain paths and avoid getting stuck on one method of achieving goals.This insightful conversation inspires us to unlock our potential by realising dreams in the present, focusing on unyielding visions to guide our journeys.Listen to the podcast to find out more.Listen to the PodcastShow Notes from this episode with Josselyne Herman-Saccio, Be UnMessableWithEmbracing the Unmessable With PhilosophyWelcome to an invigorating exploration of potential and resilience with the transformative leader, Josselyne Herman-Saccio. In her insightful conversation with Jürgen Strauss on the Innovabuzz podcast, Josselyne, a master coach and the creator of the "Unmessable With" philosophy, reveals how we can transform our lives by overcoming limiting beliefs. With experience spanning over three decades, she steers individuals towards living the lives of their dreams in the present, not in the elusive "someday." Let's delve into the core themes and insights from this inspiring dialogue.The Journey from Dreams to RealityJosselyne's own life is a blueprint of how dreams can transform into reality. Her journey from a pop star to a transformative coach is rich with lessons on overcoming limiting beliefs. She shares the pivotal moment in her early twenties when she questioned an ingrained belief that one cannot pursue art as a career. This epiphany marked the shift from seeing it as an unchangeable truth to seeing it as a mere belief. By shedding this limitation, she swiftly accomplished her dream of a music career, demonstrating the powerful unfolding when personal barriers are dismantled. Her story reminds us that living our dreams starts by questioning and transforming the narratives we tell ourselves.Understanding the Unmessable With ConceptAccording to Josselyne, being "unmessable with" is not about being tough or suppressing emotions; it's about staying committed to your vision regardless of external chaos. She emphasises that it's natural to react to life's upheavals, but the true art lies in transitioning from reaction to creation. This philosophy equips individuals to remain steadfast in their vision, enabling them to navigate life's unpredictabilities with grace and persistence. It's about developing the nimbleness to recalibrate swiftly and consistently focus on building the life envisioned.Crafting and Living Your Vision NowJosselyne brings forth a transformative approach to vision creation where one doesn't wait for someday. Instead, she encourages crafting and living your dreams in the present. Unlike goals, which are tangible endpoints, visions are lived experiences that aren't reliant on circumstances and are fulfillable in the moment. She emphasises that achieving tangible goals without an overarching vision often leads to emptiness, whereas a vision constantly rejuvenates and fulfils us. The process illuminates how aligning with one's vision can imbue life with purpose and lead to holistic success.The Balance of Vision and VehicleIn exploring the intricacies of breadth in life's pursuits, Josselyne talks about the significance of distinguishing between vision and vehicles. Often, individuals become overly fixated on specific paths (vehicles) and lose sight of their broader vision. Josselyne stresses that numerous vehicles exist to manifest one's vision, thus providing flexibility and adaptability. When setbacks occur, it's an opportunity to explore alternative avenues rather than perceiving them as dead ends. This approach ensures one remains open to possibilities, cultivating a dynamic balance between aspirations and the means to achieve them.Building Resilience while Staying True to Your VisionResilience, as Josselyne discusses, transcends bouncing back from adversity. It's intricately linked with being unmessable, where one not only recovers but continues to progress towards their vision. It's about identifying personal cues of reaction and having mechanisms like physical or mental exercises to shift back to a space of creation. By utilising these strategies, one fosters resilience that is not just about maintaining status quo but about thriving and evolving continuously in alignment with one's vision.Creating a Vivid Roadmap through Vision CraftingIn the transformative journey with her clients, Josselyne stresses crafting an explicit vision as a roadmap. Her method involves articulating experiences one seeks in life, transcending material goals, and centering on emotions like freedom or connection. By shifting focus to experience, individuals construct a vibrant framework that steers every aspect of life harmoniously. This creates an undivided life view, integrating personal and professional endeavours under a unifying vision, leading to enriched and fulfilling experiences.Conclusion: The Empowering Path of Living Your Version of SuccessJosselyne Herman-Saccio's conversation inspires us to embrace the joy of living a life not bound by fears or constraints but fuelled by our authentic visions. Her insights unravel the profound impact of questioning beliefs and creating present-moment experiences of our dreams. Josselyne's teachings challenge us to step beyond conventional boundaries, realising a life where resilience, vision, and excellence are the norm. Let her transformative philosophy inspire you to pursue your potential and redefine success.Call to ActionConsider what limiting beliefs might hold you back from living your dreams.

We've got to get back to sound money and just compete on the world stage,” urges Utah Rep. Ken Ivory. In this exclusive interview with Daniela Cambone, Rep. Ivory discusses the groundbreaking HB306 bill, which, if passed, would make Utah the first state in the U.S. to allow vendor payments in gold.The bill passed unanimously in the House and secured strong support in the Senate, yet it was vetoed by Gov. Spencer Cox. Despite this setback, Rep. Ivory remains optimistic: “Every Republican, every Democrat voted for it in the House, and 25 out of 29 senators voted for it in the Senate. Those are veto-proof majorities. So why he would veto it is really kind of inexplicable.”Beyond HB306, Rep. Ivory warns of the nation's growing debt crisis and advocates for a return to sound money. Don't miss this crucial conversation on where HB306 is headed and what it means for the future of sound money in the U.S.Questions on Protecting Your Wealth with Gold & Silver?

Dan starts this week with a very bizarre story. It's hard to even explain but we are off to Finland to review a tale about a sculpture garden. Then we head to Saudi Arabia to explore the lore around Bride of the Red Sea. Lynze really goes for it this week with five stories! They are short and quite varied. Her first two deal with family members sticking around after their deaths in very small, kind but still eery ways. Then, because it's March, she offers us a little Leprechaun tale. Then, we hear a tale of poltergeist activity not surrounding an angsty teen, which feels new. Lastly, a shadow figure that seems to leave behind some lasting effects. March Bad Magic Donation: This month, we are sending $11,800 to The AP.
