We're kicking off season six with a clear promise: weekly, expert-driven conversations that turn overwhelm into action for families of struggling learners—homeschoolers and classroom parents alike.In 2026, you'll hear from experts around the world on topics relevant to kids with learning struggles and special needs as well as curriculum choices and support for all types of students. Starting with homeschooling guru Christy Faith, we've got a lineup you won't want to miss. For example, occupational therapist Sarah Collins returns with practical strategies for executive function and sensory processing—think sensory diets that fit real lives, smoother transitions, and routines that build independence without battles.We go deep on writing and thinking with Andrew Pudewa, exploring how background knowledge fuels expression and how breaking skills into tiny steps wires stronger pathways. Expect concrete takeaways for reluctant writers, from copywork and oral narration to deliberate practice that sticks. Scientist and autism expert Dr. Teresa Lyons brings a sharp, evidence-first lens to epigenetics, nutrition, and supplements, cutting through social media noise so you can make decisions with clarity and care.You'll also get a no-nonsense guide to choosing methods and reading curricula by fit, not hype—what each approach does well, where the gaps are, and how to supplement at home. We tackle technology and the brain with balanced guardrails: when screens help, when they hinder, and how to protect attention, sleep, and deep work. And we widen the lens with survivalist Timber Cleghorn on fear, faith, and resilience, connecting outdoor grit to everyday parenting courage.We're back to weekly drops, launching a monthly newsletter packed with free PDFs and guides, and hitting conferences across the country to meet you in person.

In this week's POSC Podcast, Pastor Putnam launches a faith-stretching vision for 2026 with a clear and compelling mandate: Just Reach One—because one is worth it. Drawing from Luke 15 and other Gospel accounts, this message centers on the heart of Jesus for individuals, reminding us that crowds never distracted Him from the value of a single soul. With conviction and pastoral clarity, Pastor Putnam challenges the modern obsession with numbers, popularity, and platforms, emphasizing that Jesus was never impressed by crowds—He was moved by people. From the lost sheep in the wilderness, to the Samaritan woman at the well, to the demon-possessed man delivered after a stormy crossing, Scripture repeatedly reveals a Savior who stops, goes out of His way, and pays any cost to reach just one person. This episode calls the church beyond Sunday services and programs into lifestyle evangelism—a daily, personal obedience flowing out of a surrendered relationship with Jesus Christ. Evangelism, Pastor Putnam explains, is not a title, a microphone, or a method; its availability. While only God can save, heal, and transform, every believer has a responsibility to go, to love, and to reach. As heaven celebrates one repentant sinner, this message invites each listener to align their priorities with heaven's joy. Whether it's a neighbor, coworker, family member, or stranger, God is still asking His people to leave the 99 and pursue the one who matters deeply to Him. This sermon will stir your faith, challenge your comfort, and refocus your mission—because the world is reached one conversation, one prayer, and one act of obedience at a time. One is worth it.

SILICON VALLEY KINGMAKER Colleague Keach Hagey, The Optimist. At Stanford, Altman co-founded Loopt, a location-sharing app that won him a meeting with Steve Jobs and a spot in the App Store launch. While Loopt was not a commercial success, the experience taught Altman that his true talent lay in investing and spotting future trends rather than coding. He eventually succeeded Paul Graham as president of Y Combinator, becoming a powerful figure in Silicon Valley who could convince skeptics like Peter Thiel to back his visions.

THE FATAL 1930 LAUNCH AND INEVITABLE TRAGEDY Colleague S.C. Gwynne. Gwynne argues that the fatal 1930 launch was rushed so Thompson could arrive in India as the new Viceroy and return for an imperial conference. Despite warnings about the rotting cover and storms, the ship flew too low, leading to a tragedy Gwynne characterizes as inevitable. NUMBER 4

Ron Garret left JPL for a 100-person startup he'd just discovered on Usenet. Four a.m. alarms. Burbank to San Jose on Southwest. A rented room in Susan Wojcicki's house. He expected the search engine engineering and instead he got asked to build ad serving. In Java and with JSPs and no syntax highlighting and no delimiter balancing. Launch week was a stampede and then a window on his screen fills with declines. Numbers he can't explain. Some of them look… real. How do you even name what's happening? This episode is about creating Google AdWords. Building the machine that prints money, while trying not to get crushed in the gears.

Financial Coaches Network - The Podcast: Build your Financial Coaching Business
Join Josh and Amelie to discuss everyone's favorite…taxes! What are your obligations in sending 1099s to someone? Did you know that there may be requirements for you to send 1099s to someone?! Top takeaways: If you receive over $600 income through a third party (AdvicePay/Stripe/Paypal etc.), that third party will issue you a 1099 (though this has and will continue to change a lot). Double check 1099 numbers so they all line up correctly. If you pay someone/some company over $600 over the course of a year, you have to issue a 1099 to them UNLESS it is a corporation or if you pay by credit card (NOT debit card). Your deadline is January 30!!!! If you missed that…do it ASAP and be prepared to pay penalties. Want help building or growing a successful financial coaching business?

Today is January 1st, 2026. You woke up with that feeling. That mixture of hope and determination that only exists on this day. That fragile belief that this year will be different. That this is finally the year your blog takes off, your email list grows, your digital product launches, your income becomes real.I want to honor that feeling. That spark of "this is my year" energy is beautiful. It's the part of you that refuses to give up on your blogging dreams.But I also need to tell you something that might be hard to hear on a day when everything feels possible. Something that could save you from reliving this exact moment next January, making these exact same resolutions, feeling this exact same hope that fades by February.The way you've been approaching your blog isn't going to magically work just because the calendar changed.This episode walks through two versions of 2026. Two possible futures for your blogging business, both starting from this exact moment. One where you do what you've always done and end up exactly where you've always ended up. And one where you make a fundamentally different choice, where you stop trying to build alone, and where December 2026 looks nothing like any December before it.This is the episode I wish someone had made me listen to years ago.In this episode:Why New Year's blogging resolutions fail by February (and it's not a willpower problem)The structural problem with relying on motivation to grow your blog and email listTwo versions of 2026: where you'll be if nothing changes vs. where you could be with supportWhat I've observed in 8 years of coaching bloggers through January goal-settingWhy the bloggers who succeed aren't more disciplined, they're more supportedA month-by-month vision of what building your blog with partnership actually looks likeWhat happens when you stop trying to figure out content strategy, email marketing, and digital product creation aloneSpeaking directly to the part of you that's scared to invest in your blogging business againHere's the truth about bloggers who break through:They're not the most talented. They're not the most disciplined. They're not the ones with the most time or the fewest obstacles.They're the ones who got support. Every. Single. Time.The bloggers who stay stuck are the ones who keep trying to do it themselves. Who buy blogging courses but implement alone. Who set content calendar goals but have no one to hold them accountable. Who resolve to be more consistent with their blog posts, email newsletters, and social media, as if willpower alone has ever been enough.Make 2026 the year you stop doing it alone.Blog Execution Manager Plus is your hands-on blogging partner for the entire year. Not a course to consume by yourself. Not coaching where you get advice and figure out implementation alone. Actual partnership.What you get when you join this month:→ Onboarding call to map your blog, niche, audience, and goals → Custom roadmap built specifically for your blogging business → Lead magnet created to grow your email list → Welcome email sequence written and loaded → Content strategy mapped for consistent blog traffic → Sales page copy for your digital product or offer → Launch emails written to sell your course, ebook, or service → Project management handled so you always know what to focus on → Up to 16 hours per month of done-for-you work on your blog$500/month at beta pricing.

The week after Christmas can feel strangely heavy. The celebration is over, the quiet settles in, and the weight of a new year starts pressing in. In this episode, John reflects on the line from O Holy Night that hit him in a new way, “a thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices,” and why this sacred pause between Christmas and New Year's is meant for hope, not anxiety. He challenges listeners to make a simple “holy list” with three focus points: one thing to let go of, one thing to heal, and one thing to build, so you stop trying to fix yourself through self-reliance and start letting Jesus heal what is actually broken.

Your hosts tonight are Jeremy Pozderac, Aaron Krieger, Nick Lynch, and me Shawn Herrin, welcome to the show! Text Dear WLS or Reviews +1 743 500 2171 - Dear WLS Dependable Don - So what holsters do you run with your fanny pack? I got the qilo prison wallet which is Velcro backed so crossbreed has holsters that work but not crazy about it. Switch to a blapha or are Velcro backed holsters acceptable? Adam W - I am looking for a red dot that can stand up to a .357 magnum Chippa Rhino. I have put 2 other dots on it I had laying around and now I just want one I don't have worry about. I was thinking the Judge XL from Gideon. Would this be a good choice? The use case for this gun is local matches and range toy. Also, I am looking for a holster for this setup. The Chippa Rhino is the 60ds model with the pic rail in front of the cylinder. Your help is much appreciated. Scanks Adam Luis G - I am in Florida and do a lot of lake bank fishing. What would be a good caliber to carry and what type of rounds to use against alligators? Should I run a couple of snake shot rounds first for moccasins then the gator rounds? Jack B - Matt diniman just did a kickstarter campaign where 2 of the reward tiers included getting killed in a future DCC book. If you were get this prize for another cast member, which option would you choose and how would they die? Option, They are a crawler who gets killed. Option 2, They are a monster or NPC that gets killed by Donut and T-bagged by mongo. Ny(e)gerski - "This one is mostly for Mr. Saggins. Scroto, what are you signed up to hunt this year? I feel like we haven't had any 47 minute long hunting stories in a while and are due for one or 2. P.S.....are you sure you and Kevin from Q aren't kindred spirits?.....I can't tell who tells longer hunting stories... Pee Pee S.....i had something for here, but forgot....and now got you to say pee pee...." Eli K - I am building a new house soon. It will have a vault room in the basement. The floor, ceiling, and all four walls will be poured concrete. Other than that, I'm leaving it unfinished after framing and insulation, and I will take it form there. It will have HVAC and electrical available. What else should I do? Seems like a good idea to put a drain in. I'm tentatively planning to do Lockdown walls. Anything other suggestions? Jerry F - Do either of you guys have any idea where i can find Accurate Nitro 100NF for sale? I've been checking all of the reputable dealers online (Brownells, Midway usa, ammoseek etc) and I haven't been able to find any 4 or 8lb bottles all summer. I shoot trap every weekend with my dad and our local league just started and I commonly go through a hundred plus rounds each weekend. I believe accurate is a division of Hodgdens. Any help would be greatly appreciated. And in your opinions where is all the powder going? Love the show, thank you. Jeremy is not a cunt, he just doesn't have any patience for stupidity. John J - I've recently realized I'm a fan of both Jeremy and Aaron. Which probably means I'm either deeply complex, or there's something wrong with me. Thoughts? Also, would love to see some more Dangerous Freedom videos. I am looking forward to the red dot - magnifier comparison. One of my AR's has a CompM5 with a 3x magnifier. I want to love it for what the combo cost, but I find myself removing the magnifier more often than not. Thanks for the show. The winner of this week's swag pack is John J!

PUSHING BOUNDARIES WITH DENSIFIED PROPELLANT AND BARGE LANDINGS Colleague Eric Berger. Following the 2015 launch failure, SpaceX introduced the "Falcon 9 Full Thrust," which utilized densified propellants—super-chilled liquid oxygen—to increase fuel mass by up to 12% for greater efficiency. This technology required tight launch windows but was essential for the company's reusability goals. Simultaneously, the company attempted to land boosters on an ocean barge, a process described as trying to land "nine Dixie cups" in a storm. These efforts were driven by the need to recover and reuse delicate rocket stages that are easily crushed when not pressurized. NUMBER 4 MARCH 1958
STARSHIP: THE FULLY REUSABLE ARCHITECTURE FOR MARS Colleague Eric Berger. At Boca Chica, Texas, SpaceX transformed a swamp into "Starbase," a modern rocket factory for the Starship and Super Heavy launch system. Starship represents the endgame of Musk's vision: a fully reusable rocket larger than the Saturn V, designed to be caught by "chopstick" arms on the launch tower to eliminate landing legs and speed up reuse. The plan involves orbital refueling and launching fleets of ships every two years to transport massive amounts of cargo, serving as a "Grand Central Station" for deep space colonization. NUMBER 8 1921 FRANCE
THE CHUTE SHOW AND THE RACE FOR COMMERCIAL CREW Colleague Eric Berger. SpaceX competed with Boeing to restore NASA's ability to launch astronauts, a program politically legitimized by Boeing's participation. Developing the Crew Dragon required rigorous testing, particularly by a team nicknamed the "Chute Show" who tested parachutes in the desert. While Boeing and SpaceX faced similar challenges, SpaceX optimized its Falcon 9 Block 5 for rapid reuse, hardening parts based on lessons from previous flights. Despite the inherent risks of human spaceflight, SpaceX ultimately succeeded in flying veteran astronauts to the station, maintaining reusability as a core requirement. NUMBER 7 1938
Innovation doesn't suffer from a lack of talent — it suffers from a lack of access.In Part 1 of this powerful two-part conversation, Dr. Alisa sits down with Race to Innovation co-authors Dr. John Bamforth and Dr. Roy Zwahlen to unpack what they call America's innovation deficit — and why unlocking overlooked potential is not just a moral imperative, but an economic one.This episode dives deep into the hidden history of Black entrepreneurship, the mindset shifts required to recognize undervalued opportunities, and the underestimated role of enclaves — communities, networks, and institutions that quietly fuel innovation when mainstream systems fall short.You'll hear how innovation has always existed in marginalized communities, why it has often gone unseen, and what leaders, investors, and entrepreneurs must do differently if they want to build sustainable, scalable impact.This is not theory. This is strategy. And it sets the foundation for the ownership, legacy, and acceleration conversation coming in Part 2.Learn more about Race to Innovation: Unleashing the Power of Entrepreneurship for Everyone and connect with co-authors Dr. John Bamforth and Dr. Roy Zwahlen.Explore the book, the research, and the ideas behind inclusive entrepreneurship and innovation:
Innovation creates momentum — but ownership creates legacy.In Part 2 of this must-hear conversation, Dr. Alisa continues the dialogue with Dr. John Bamforth and Dr. Roy Zwahlen, shifting the focus from awareness to activation.This episode explores why ownership is the cornerstone of generational wealth, how diverse innovators bring a unique lens to underserved markets, and what it truly takes to accelerate transformative change — not slowly, not someday, but now.The conversation goes personal as both guests Flip the Script, sharing pivotal mindset shifts from their own global careers — moments that challenged assumptions, reshaped leadership, and redefined how innovation ecosystems must function if they are to work for everyone.If you're a leader, entrepreneur, or change-maker who wants more than surface-level inclusion — this episode delivers the mindset, strategy, and clarity to move from intention to impact.Continue the conversation with Dr. John Bamforth and Dr. Roy Zwahlen, co-authors of Race to Innovation.Visit the official book site to dive deeper into ownership, innovation ecosystems, and accelerating transformative change:
In this episode, I'm diving into one of the most important (and often overlooked) parts of a successful launch: the emails you send while your cart is open. If you want more sales, more engagement, and fewer crickets during your launch, these emails matter more than you think.I break down the three essential sales emails I believe every launch needs—and exactly why they work. We talk about how to handle objections before they stop someone from buying, how to connect emotionally with your audience so they feel seen and understood, and how to clearly communicate the benefits of your offer (not just the features).I also share why every email needs a clear call-to-action and how to make sure you're guiding your subscribers instead of leaving them confused or overwhelmed.This episode is practical, strategic, and designed to help you feel more confident hitting “send” during your next launch.3 Key Takeaways:Objections don't disappear unless I address them If I don't proactively answer my audience's concerns, doubts, and fears, they'll default to not buying. Objection-handling emails remove friction and make decisions easier.Emotion drives action more than logic People don't buy because of information alone—they buy because they feel understood. When I lead with emotion and connection, my audience is far more likely to take action.Benefits sell, features support Features explain what my offer includes, but benefits explain why it matters. When I focus on the transformation instead of the content, my sales emails land much more powerfully.LINKS TO RESOURCES MENTIONED IN TODAY'S EPISODEConnect with Teresa on Website, (Grow, Launch, Sell), Sign up to Teresa's email list, Instagram,

Myseum is rethinking social networking by focusing on private, intentional sharing instead of public feeds and algorithms. Darin Myman, CEO of Myseum, explains how the platform was designed to solve a modern problem: people take more photos than ever, yet meaningful sharing and long-term preservation have become more difficult.The conversation begins with the core idea behind Myseum, a personalized social network built to pass photos and media forward to the people who matter. Darin explains how today's phone-based photo sharing has replaced shoeboxes and albums, but without a clear way to preserve memories across generations.Marc and Darin dive into Picture Party by Myseum, a new feature launching soon that allows instant, private group sharing without passing phones around. Users can create temporary or permanent social spaces for meetings, family gatherings, events, or parties. These spaces can disappear after a set time or live on as part of a personal digital archive.Privacy and security are central to the platform. Darin explains how Myseum encrypts content, limits access to invited users, and gives creators full control over saving, screenshots, and self-destruction. Unlike traditional social platforms, Myseum does not allow AI models to ingest user content.The discussion wraps with Myseum's long-term vision, from small private gatherings to large-scale events with thousands of participants, all organized into searchable, purpose-driven spaces. The goal is simple: make sharing fun again while ensuring memories are protected and easy to find in the future.Chapters0:00 – Introducing Myseum and Darin Myman0:23 – What Myseum is and why it exists1:12 – Why modern photo sharing feels broken2:00 – The unlimited tier social network concept2:36 – Why passing phones around does not work3:01 – Picture Party and Pop-Up Gala explained4:01 – Preserving family history and legacy4:37 – The idea of a digital shoebox5:42 – How Picture Party works in real life7:03 – Privacy, encryption, and security controls8:39 – User control over saving and sharing8:41 – The long-term vision for Myseum9:47 – Launch timing and what's coming nextSubscribe for more conversations with founders building the next generation of technology.Visit yourtechreport.com for more interviews and tech insights.Relevant LinksMyseum: https://www.myseum.comYour Tech Report: https://www.yourtechreport.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
