Send us a textOn today's podcast conversation I sat down with Jermaine Wilson of Prison Fellowship. Jermaine spent seven years behind bars—four of them as a juvenile. While incarcerated as an adult, he participated in biblically based programs through Prison Fellowship and experienced the life-transforming power of God's Word. With renewed purpose and vision, Jermaine no longer saw himself as a failure and a mistake.After his release from prison, Jermaine created a nonprofit organization, Unity in the Community, to establish trust between citizens and law enforcement. When his criminal record was expunged, he increased his political and civic involvement. In 2017, he was elected city commissioner for Leavenworth, Kansas. In 2020, he became the first formerly incarcerated person to serve on the Kansas Sentencing Committee.Jermaine is an ordained minister, husband, and father of five children.To learn more visit: https://www.prisonfellowship.org/Support The Show: https://www.buzzsprout.com/110664/subscribe Build your own local Tribe with Tribe Builder: https://www.thepursuitofmanliness.com/gear/p/tribe-builderRegister for our 2025 Fall Men's Retreat: https://www.thepursuitofmanliness.com/gear/p/2025-mens-retreatRegister for Tribe XVI starting June 1st: https://www.thepursuitofmanliness.com/gear/p/tribe-xviThis podcast is sponsored by Dark Water Woodwork.

Set in the gorgeous wilds of Leavenworth, Washington, on the banks of a roaring river, this retreat was all about showing up, diving deep, and walking away with a new vision for love and connection.Love Camp was filled with mindset-shifting workshops, laughter, sound baths, meditation, soulful conversations, and personal breakthroughs.This episode is all about:Why getting out of your usual space (physically and mentally) can be a huge game-changer.The magic of creating space for change, without rushing the process.The power of aligning your heart's desires with actionable steps for love.How making small but intentional shifts in your mindset can open the door to magic.The most vulnerable and rewarding moments of Love Camp that made the biggest impact!If you're in a season of quiet growth, personal reflection, or just want to rewrite your story, this episode is for you. 

The Joint Readiness Training Center is pleased to present the one-hundredth-and-one episode to air on ‘The Crucible - The JRTC Experience.' Hosted by the Senior Intelligence Observer-Coach-Trainer for the Intelligence Task Force, COL Cory Reiter on behalf of the Commander of Ops Group (COG). Today's guest is the senior military analyst at the China Desk within the Foreign Military Studies Office at Ft. Leavenworth, KS, Mr. Peter Wood You can access Mr. Wood's intro to China reference booklet at: https://tr.ee/ukc6JINPfn  The Foreign Military Studies Office (FMSO), located at the U.S. Army's Combined Arms Center at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, is a key research organization dedicated to analyzing foreign military trends, doctrine, and operational concepts to inform U.S. military understanding and readiness. Within FMSO, the China Desk plays a crucial role by providing focused, open-source research on the People's Liberation Army (PLA), Chinese Communist Party (CCP) military strategies, and China's evolving approaches to multi-domain operations. The China Desk produces analytical reports, threat assessments, and scholarly publications that help inform U.S. Army and joint force planners about Chinese doctrine, modernization efforts, and lessons learned from regional and global conflicts. By maintaining deep subject matter expertise, the China Desk equips military leaders and planners with the insights needed to better prepare for competition and potential conflict with a sophisticated and adaptive peer adversary.   This podcast episode provides a detailed introduction to China's threat tactics, offering U.S. military leaders and planners a foundational understanding of how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the People's Liberation Army (PLA) approach modern warfare. The conversation highlights that China is assessed as the United States' primary pacing threat—not simply because of a single capability, but because of the integrated strength of its modernization efforts, personnel, training, and cross-domain investments. The episode explores how China blends military and civilian power through its concept of “military-civil fusion,” builds operational depth through advanced space, cyber, and electronic warfare capabilities, and sharpens its military edge through sophisticated training programs, including its own combat training centers. The discussion also addresses the widespread misunderstanding in U.S. circles that China's economic interdependence with the West deters it from military action, underscoring that China continues to develop systems and posture itself for protracted conflict, particularly in the Indo-Pacific region.   Additionally, the episode explores China's multi-domain approach to warfare, combining kinetic capabilities with influence operations, psychological warfare, legal maneuvers, and advanced technology integration. The discussion explains how China has invested in artificial intelligence, quantum technologies, uncrewed systems, and resilient satellite communications to build decision advantage and disrupt U.S. capabilities. One critical takeaway is that the PLA is a learning organization—adapting through lessons from other global conflicts and continuously refining its doctrine and training. Best practices suggested for U.S. leaders include regularly incorporating China-based threat injects into training exercises, familiarizing staffs with Chinese operational concepts, and leveraging available resources such as the TRADOC G-2 China Landing Zone and red-team scenario materials. The episode closes by encouraging listeners to approach the China threat with intellectual rigor and humility, recognizing that the competition space is dynamic and requires constant adaptation and informed preparation.   Part of S11 “Conversations with the Enemy” series.

In a high-stakes episode, @intheMatrixxx and @shadygrooove dive into Trump's law-and-order crusade, starting with his bold May 4, 2025, directive to reopen Alcatraz—a notorious prison shuttered since 1963 that once held Al Capone—to house America's “most ruthless and violent offenders.” They unpack how Trump's plan, backed by Stephen Miller's vision of a “strong America,” targets criminals like the 150 Tren de Aragua gang members recently arrested, while also expanding three shuttered detention sites, including one in Leavenworth, Kansas, to hold 30,000 “criminal aliens” amid mass deportation efforts. The show exposes deep state pushback, from San Francisco locals calling it a “stunt” to lawsuits blocking ICE in California, as a desperate attempt to shield illegal immigrants. Then, they reveal gain-of-function secrets, alleging these sites may detain whistleblowers exposing CIA-linked bioweapons research, tying it to Ancient Orders' globalist schemes. With the constitution as your weapon, join the fight against deep state corruption. The truth is learned, never told—tune in at mg.show to uncover the hidden agenda!

Join us for a transformational women's retreat at Love Camp! For women in midlife who want deep connections, real confidence, and a love life that actually feels good. ✅ https://findinglove.co/love-camp-retreat/ Let's take a look at this season of White Lotus and see if we can spot all the relationship red flags! We all love a good love story, full of cinematic whirlwinds. But what if the love story you're telling yourself isn't real? What if you're falling for an idea rather than the actual person?Season 3 of White Lotus (in addition to being incredibly fun to watch) is shining a light on a pattern so many of us fall into in midlife dating: fooling ourselves into mistaking fantasy for love. When we crave romance that feels like a movie, we risk ignoring red flags, rushing into relationships, or clinging to an illusion that's never going to last. I'm unpacking a few of the biggest relationship red flags from this season, and how they can hold a mirror up to our own patterns.I'm breaking down:Why turning a blind eye to someone's true personality is a great way to build a completely inauthentic partnership (Victoria and Timothy).How getting caught up in fantasy-driven love will lead you down a dark path (Chelsea and Rick).How friendships can be a minefield of past hurts and betrayal, especially when no one does the hard work of having honest, direct conversations (Jacklyn, Laurie and Kate).A few key shifts that can help you move from fantasy and delusion to real connection and romance.If you've ever held onto a relationship because of its potential, overlooked signs and ignored your gut instinct, or found yourself chasing chemistry over compatibility, tune in.And if you're ready to tell yourself a new love story and manifest the life you truly deserve, join me for four transformational days at my women's retreat in Leavenworth, Washington, this April 23-26. Let's do the work to unlock deep, lasting love in midlife TOGETHER! ✅ Ready to find a love that truly sees and celebrates you?

In Part Two of our deep-dive biography on Paul "The Waiter" Ricca, we chronicle his ascent to the top of the Chicago Outfit from the late 1940s through the early 1970s — a reign that cemented his legacy as one of the most powerful and influential mob bosses in American history.Listen to Part One: https://youtu.be/D2S-22pslCAThis episode picks up with Ricca serving time in Atlanta Federal Penitentiary following his conviction in the infamous Hollywood extortion case — a racket that siphoned millions from the motion picture industry during the 1930s and 1940s. We explore Ricca's brutal prison experience under Warden Joseph Sanford, a notorious white supremacist who cracked down on Italian inmates, and how Ricca's allies on the outside — including Tony Accardo and Murray "The Camel" Humphreys — pulled political strings and greased palms to orchestrate his early transfer to Leavenworth and eventual release after serving only three years.Once back in Chicago, Ricca quietly shared power with Tony Accardo in one of the most successful power-sharing arrangements in Mafia history. While Accardo handled day-to-day operations, Ricca became the Outfit's elder statesman — making high-level decisions, approving hits, and shaping the organization's future from behind the scenes. The two men orchestrated the Outfit's expansion into Las Vegas, using Teamsters pension loans and alliances with Meyer Lansky to finance casinos like The Stardust, Desert Inn, and Riviera — creating a multimillion-dollar pipeline of skimmed cash that flowed directly into Chicago's coffers for decades.Despite his low profile, Ricca remained a prime target for law enforcement. Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, he fought off tax evasion charges, perjury indictments, and a relentless deportation campaign that sought to return him to Italy — where he had been convicted of two murders in his youth. His decade-long legal battle to avoid deportation became one of the longest-running immigration cases in American history, with Ricca outmaneuvering authorities at every turn.As law enforcement pressure mounted, Ricca and Accardo made the strategic decision to promote Sam "Momo" Giancana as front boss of the Chicago Outfit in the mid-1950s — allowing the brash and flashy Giancana to become the lightning rod for law enforcement while Ricca and Accardo continued pulling the strings from the shadows. But Giancana's high-profile lifestyle, affairs with celebrities, and erratic leadership style caused turmoil within the Outfit. By the mid-1960s, Ricca and Accardo had seen enough, orchestrating Giancana's ouster and restoring order to the organization.During this era, Ricca rubbed shoulders with and mentored some of the Outfit's most notorious figures, including Murray Humphreys, Gus Alex, Ralph Pierce, Sam Battaglia, Willie Daddano, and Felix "Milwaukee Phil" Alderisio. He also played a pivotal role in grooming the next generation of Chicago gangsters — including the fearsome enforcer Marshall Caifano and the psychopathic loan shark Sam "Mad Sam" DeStefano.Even into his 70s, Ricca's influence never waned. He remained the ultimate consigliere of the Chicago Outfit — a man whose word was law and whose wisdom guided the Outfit's rackets from Chicago to Las Vegas. This episode breaks down how Ricca's strategic brilliance, political connections, and ruthless pragmatism helped him outlast nearly all of his contemporaries and solidified his place as one of the most underrated and powerful mobsters in American history.00:00:00 Start00:00:42 Opening Remarks00:01:37 Cliff-Notes of Part One00:07:24 The Waiter's Time in Prison (Mid-to-Late 1940's)00:28:15 Co-Boss of The Outfit (Late 1940's and 1950's)01:17:20 Running the Chicago Outfit (Keeping Control in the 1960's)02:13:56 Late Career & Legacy (The 1970's)02:23:16 Closing Remarks

Just about every town in America has a tree lighting event, walk-through light display or downtown shopping night for the holidays, but a few spots like to do something a little extra. On this week's episode of Peak Northwest, we look at the Pacific Northwest holiday events that might be worth traveling to, from busy winter festivals to visits from Krampus. There's something delightful about small towns going all out for the holidays, one-upping each other for the biggest, best and busiest events –and offering Northwest travelers a window into local holiday traditions. Here are some highlights from this week's show: Why you should check out Leavenworth's Christmastown, even though it will be a scene. The best light display in Oregon? It might be at a state park on the coast. Get a taste of Victorian Christmas pageantry in this southern Oregon destination. A small town in Washington has a delightfully creepy Krampus tradition.
