Local newspaper Ponsonby News received a threatening email from Auckland Mayor Wayne Brown earlier this month after publishing an opinion piece by councillor Mike Lee. In the email, sent on July 3, Brown said, “if you are just going to publish Mike Lee bagging me then your paper will die”. "You know, I've been publishing and editing magazines since 1990, and I've never ever had an email like that," Leach told Andrew Dickens.

What if your symptoms are not the enemy? What if they are signals? In this week's episode of the Know Better | Do Better podcast, Autumn sits down with Nicholas Leach, a terrain-based naturopathic practitioner who helps people uncover the deeper patterns behind chronic and complex health struggles. This conversation takes a different look at healing. Instead of seeing symptoms as something to suppress, fight, or fear, Nicholas invites us to understand the body as intelligently designed, adaptive, and constantly working to return to balance. Together, Autumn and Nicholas explore terrain-based healing, the difference between fighting symptoms and understanding them, and why true health often requires looking at the whole person, including the mind, body, environment, lifestyle, and spirit. Inside this conversation: • Why symptoms may be messages, not mistakes • How terrain-based healing differs from conventional and functional medicine • Why fear can keep the body stuck in stress • The role of sunlight, sleep, breath, water, movement, and food • Why purpose, joy, and meaning matter in healing • How toxicity and deficiency can shape the terrain • Why chronic symptoms may require a deeper look at lifestyle and environment • What it means to stop fighting the body and start supporting it If you have ever felt like your body is broken, this conversation may help you see it differently. Maybe your body is not betraying you. Maybe it has been communicating all along. ✴️ Connect with Nicholas on Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube

In this episode of On The Line, host Jen Gerson is joined by Andrew Leach, noted energy and environmental economist and professor of economics and law at the University of Alberta, for a conversation about Canadian energy policy at a pivotal moment.This episode is brought to you by BioCanRx, a federally-funded Canadian not-for-profit research network bringing cutting edge cancer immunotherapy research from Canadian labs to patients in clinical trials –– all in Canada.A drug that can treat your cancer is being tested in a Canadian clinical trial, but can you access it? Depends — where do you live? Clinical trials taking place in Canada usually open sites in major centers with research hospitals. Smaller hospitals face many challenges including having enough know-how to deliver experimental therapies, and administrative, legal, and regulatory responsibilities that come with a trial. There are also data and interoperability issues at hospitals that don't routinely participate in research.So if you don't live in a major centre, participating in the trial requires you to relocate there for the duration of treatment –– the cost of the treatment is covered, but the cost of being in the city where it happens is your responsibility. Patient advocacy groups might be able to help with some of those expenses, but this obviously can be a barrier for a lot of Canadians. A therapy might only become available to everyone across Canada if a trial is successful and the drug is approved –– but not necessarily, and maybe not anytime soon. More on that next time. Visit BioCanRx.com to learn more.Recorded on July 2, 2026, just ahead of two major pipeline announcements, the discussion doesn't cover the specifics of the federal government's decision to retrace the TMX route or the proposed Canadian Shield pipeline between Alberta and Sarnia. Instead, Gerson and Leach focus on the broader forces shaping Canada's energy future.They discuss Prime Minister Mark Carney's latest Forward Guidance video, the influence of the United States on Canadian energy policy and markets, the promise and limitations of carbon capture and storage, and the political significance of the new Memorandum of Understanding between Alberta and Ottawa. Throughout the conversation, Leach offers his perspective on what has changed — and what hasn't — in the relationship between governments, industry, and the public.This episode is also brought to you by the Forest Products Association of Canada. Canada's forest products sector is not asking Ottawa to start over. The federal government has heard the advice. It has recognized the challenges. And it has put a plan on the table. Now the test is action.That means clearing made-in-Canada barriers: regulatory duplication, transportation bottlenecks, and uncertainty around predictable access to manage our forests. It means working with provinces to protect communities from wildfire risk and giving companies the confidence to invest here at home. Nearly 200,000 Canadians working in this sector are looking for results.The playbook is written. Now Ottawa needs to deliver. Learn more at fpac.ca.The episode also asks a larger question: after decades of political conflict over pipelines, is Canada finally entering a new era? Could this be the beginning of a more grounded conversation about the country's oil and gas sector, one that focuses less on symbolic battles and more on practical questions of economics, infrastructure, and national interest?This episode is also brought to you by Cameco. In nuclear energy, timelines and costs matter. Incomplete designs carry real risk of delays and cost overruns. That's why the AP1000 reactor is the right choice for Canada: it is already operating today and ready now to deliver the power we need, with 100 percent Canadian ownership and strong participation from Canadian suppliers. If we are serious about building Canada and powering it on time and on budget, the choice is clear. The AP1000 reactor is the only option that delivers.To learn more, visit ap1000.cameco.com.If you enjoyed the episode, be sure to share it, and as always, like and subscribe to us on your podcast or video app of choice.

Interview with Alan Carter, President & CEO of Cabral Gold Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/cabral-gold-tsxvcbr-undervalued-investment-series-with-alan-carter-9745Recording date: 16th June 2026Cabral Gold is nearing production at its phase one heap leach operation in the Cuiu Cuiu gold district in northern Brazil, with construction more than 70% complete and on track for commissioning in the third quarter of 2026 and commercial output in the fourth quarter. The project is fully funded through a 353 kg gold loan (approximately $45 million) from its largest shareholder, carrying a 39-month term and 10% interest, with repayments beginning at the end of 2026.The operation is designed to process 3,000 tons of ore per day from near-surface, free-digging oxide material, which avoids the need for drilling, blasting, and complex processing. This contributes to relatively low operating costs and strong projected economics. Despite rising diesel prices and a stronger Brazilian real, the company estimates margins of $3,000 per ounce at current gold prices, with first-year production expected to reach 25,000 ounces.Infill drilling across approximately 160 holes has largely confirmed the resource model outlined in the 2025 preliminary feasibility study, with some higher-grade results, including an intercept of 25 metres at 7.5 g/t gold from surface. Early mining grades are expected to exceed life-of-mine averages, further supporting near-term profitability.Beyond initial production, Cabral is advancing a broader district-scale strategy. The company now controls six known deposits, up from three in 2022, and is actively drilling with six rigs to expand its resource base, targeting an updated estimate by the end of 2026. Notably, around 75% of the district's gold is believed to lie in hard rock beneath the oxide layer, forming the basis for a larger phase two development.Cabral's approach emphasizes self-funded growth, using cash flow from phase one to support expansion, reducing reliance on equity dilution while maintaining exposure to significant exploration upside.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/cabral-goldSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Leach explains how he assesses athletes' readiness to train, uses position and relative-strength standards, and structures off-season weeks with a flexible high/low approach to manage field demands. He outlines non-negotiables such as max-velocity exposures (90%+), jump testing, and quality strength work, and explains how metric trends guide deloads and expectations across phases. The conversation covers planning from the annual calendar down, evaluating daily sessions and entire off-seasons, integrating game-based conditioning and contact prep, using GPS to validate load, and the need to keep programming evolving rather than becoming static. Leach also shares where to find him and his “Grid Iron Warrior 2.0” resources.00:00 Introduction and Background01:54 Rivalries and High School Memories03:03 Hall of Fame Aspirations03:58 Program Design Philosophy04:40 Challenges in College Football Programming06:51 Assessment and Developmental Programs13:36 Training Structure and Flexibility18:48 Max Effort Training and Metrics22:01 Annual Planning and Adjustments24:07 Evolving Training Models and Challenges29:42 Facing Life's Challenges30:26 Evaluating Training Sessions32:50 Assessing Off-Season Effectiveness34:49 Adapting Training Programs38:06 Maintaining Program Flexibility44:41 Contact Prep and Games52:30 Impact on Wins and Losses

COACH IS JOINED BY Dennis Dodd and Tony Barnhart to discuss the increasingly chaotic off-field landscape of college football, even as the on-field product remains as highly entertaining as ever. The trio dives into the current lack of formal employment and collective bargaining for athletes, noting that players are effectively playing for pay through Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) endorsements. Dodd warns that any attempts to cap or cut this compensation could spark player strikes, pointing to past athlete protests at schools like Missouri, Michigan, and Penn State as definitive proof of their leverage. The group also breaks down the proposed Protect College Sports Act, describing the legislation as potentially hostile to the powerhouses in the SEC and Big Ten, while highlighting the heavy political pushback and scheduling hurdles it currently faces in Congress. The conversation then pivots to the College Football Hall of Fame and the controversial exclusion of the late Mike Leach. Dodd criticizes the Hall's rigid requirement of a .600 career winning percentage—a strict rule allegedly championed by former Yankees owner George Steinbrenner—which Leach narrowly missed with a .594, despite his undeniable and transformative impact on the game. The guests argue that this mandate arbitrarily blocks profoundly influential figures from receiving their proper recognition. The segment concludes on a humorous and candid note when Barnhart formally recuses himself from the Mike Leach debate, revealing his active role on the committee that handles Hall of Fame decisions, before cheerfully signing off from the broadcast.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
