A culinary controversy in Georgia. Rick Jackson – the Republican nominee for governor – stopped by a black-owned restaurant. And now the owner of Toast on Lenox is facing a boycott. Tamara Young is the owner of Toast on Lenox. She has since deleted a photo she posted when Jackson dropped by for a visit. Former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms poured gasoline on the fire by saying anyone who welcomes her opponent has made a calculated decision and should understand the risks. Bottoms is the Democrat nominee for governor. During the China Virus Pandemic – the policies enacted by Mayor Bottoms led to the closing of more than 100 small businesses. And now she wants to shut down any business that serves a Republican. Mr. Jackson issued a statement saying he’s going to fight for all Georgians – no matter their zip code or party affiliation. I’m predicting Ms. Bottom’s chances of becoming governor are toast.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on A Pod Named Kickback, we ask one of the biggest questions in today's culture: Can people truly redeem themselves after making mistakes, or has cancel culture replaced forgiveness? From the Toast on Lenox controversy to celebrities accused of supporting MAGA, we debate whether apologies, growth, and changed behavior still matter—or if some actions deserve a lifetime boycott. We also dive into the viral trend of white people trying melanin shots, drinks, and supplements to get darker skin, and ask: is this appreciation, appropriation, or something else entirely?Plus, we break down Boosie's lawsuit over his alleged $600K pardon payment, the comments about Angel Reese that sparked backlash, and why Kamala Harris earns this week's Nipsey Hussle Award. As always, we wrap things up with Netflix & Chill and Eargasm to send you into the week right. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Are You Sure You Want to Be an Executor? Episode 384 – Being named as an estate executor is often considered an honor, and you will be compensated for your efforts. But is it worth all the potential trouble? More SML Planning Minute Podcast Episodes Transcript of Podcast Episode 384 Hello, this is Bill Rainaldi, with another edition of Security Mutual's SML Planning Minute. In today's episode: are you sure you want to be an executor? Perhaps you should consider it an honor. Your Uncle Charlie, who always liked, trusted and respected you, has named you as the executor of his will. What does that even mean? The executor of an estate is the person (or, sometimes an entity) appointed to manage the financial affairs of a deceased individual and to carry out their wishes as outlined in their will. The executor is usually a family member, but it can also be a close friend, financial advisor or family lawyer. It can also be a financial institution. And sometimes there's more than one. So, what does an executor do? Here are some of the early steps many executors take: obtaining copies of the death certificate and filing a copy of the will with the probate court where the deceased lived. Before the court approves the executor, they may schedule a hearing to give interested parties a chance to either contest the will or object to the appointment of the executor.[1] Once approved, the executor generally needs to notify the appropriate parties of the decedent's death. This may include friends and family members, financial institutions and government agencies, such as the Social Security Administration. Then they usually need to gather all the estate's assets and liabilities. After that, the executor will need to settle any debts or taxes before the assets can be distributed. Once all this is done, they will supervise the distribution of the assets.[2] It sounds complicated, and it very often can be. It typically takes three to six months, but it can be much longer, sometimes as long as two years or more.[3] [4] And it could involve a major time commitment on the executor's part. Also, the amount of paperwork can be overwhelming. Here's one good reason to say yes: executors usually get paid. However, for small and modest sized estates where family members act as executor, this is often done free of charge.  In larger and more complicated estates, the rate is typically set by state law, with a normal rate of anywhere between 2 and 5 percent of the total estate value.[5] In many cases the rate will be calculated on a sliding scale based on the value of the estate. In New York, for example, the fee is 5 percent for estates below $100,000, gradually dropping down to 2 percent for estates of more than $5 million. Two percent of $5 million is $100,000. Things can sometimes get tricky for an executor. In most states, the executor can also be a beneficiary of the estate.[6] This has the potential to create a conflict of interest, if not conflict with the other beneficiaries. The entire process can be overwhelming for some. It's important to remember that even though it may be an honor, you don't have to accept it. Another alternative might be to accept the assignment but hire some professionals to help you out.[7] And people do sometimes turn down the opportunity to serve as an executor, despite any personal or financial incentives. Potential family conflicts are sometimes enough to scare someone off. For example, the decedent might own a house that is scheduled to be split among his children. But what happens if one of them is already living there? The executor may have to notify the resident that he or she must move out so that the property can be sold. It may carry some prestige, but acting as the executor can often put them in the middle of disagreements between some of the heirs over the distribution of assets. If you're a family member or friend, being an executor can cause irreparable damage to your personal relationships, and that's one of the big reasons people sometimes opt out. It's also important to recognize that an executor is considered a fiduciary for the estate and its beneficiaries. This is a high ethical standard where, if the executor does something wrong or enriches him or herself unjustly, they can be sued personally. The potential for personal liability may be enough of a reason to reject the nomination, particularly in large or complicated estates. Finally, note that things can get even more complicated if the individual does not have a will. In that case, the court will appoint someone to be the administrator of the estate. That's basically the same job as the executor, but with a court-appointed individual who may or may not have known the decedent. If you're the one who's doing your own estate planning, putting together the will—with the help of a qualified estate planning attorney—is a good start. You'll need to think seriously about who you want as your executor. Just as important, you need to communicate early and openly about your decisions with everyone involved. And be sure to revisit your choice every few years.

Join your host Syama Bunten, as she talks with Abbe Large. Abbe built one of the most decorated careers in financial services — the only woman in MassMutual's history since 1851 to win both Freshman Five and Chairman's Club — but her road there started with nothing but grit. Growing up in a dysfunctional household, working her first job at 14, and putting herself through college while paying her own rent in New York City, Abbe learned early that if it was going to happen, it was up to her. Now, after more than three decades of helping families protect what matters most, Abbe brings something most advisors can't — a lived understanding of what it actually feels like to be on the other side of the table. She's not selling a script. She's sharing a life. This episode is packed with hard-won wisdom on financial planning, family legacy, raising money-smart kids, and why the spouse in the corner needs to be at the table. Key Topics: How early self-reliance can become your greatest professional asset Why finding the right culture and people to surround yourself with matters as much as the work itself How to talk about money at home — practical ways Abbe raised financially literate kids who now manage their own travel budgets and credit card points The critical estate planning mistake that cost one widow hundreds of thousands of dollars — and how to make sure it doesn't happen to your family Why listeners who have a spouse or partner need both people in the room during financial planning conversations — and what's at stake when they don't What the accumulation, distribution, and preservation phases of wealth actually look like — and why most people only think about one of them How to know if your existing financial plan is outdated, incomplete, or just plain wrong — and what to do about it   Connect with Abbe Large online:  Website: https://www.lenoxadvisors.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/abbeflarge/  Email: alarge@lenoxadvisors.com   Find more from Syama Bunten:  Attend a Salon near you: wealthcatalyst.com/salons Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/syama.co/  Join Syama's Substack: https://thewealthcatalystwithsyama.substack.com/  Website: https://wealthcatalyst.com  Download Syama's Free Resources: https://wealthcatalyst.com/resources  Wealth Catalyst Summit: https://wealthcatalyst.com/summits  Speaking: https://syamabunten.com  Big Delta Capital: www.bigdeltacapital.com

Guest: Professor Richard Carwardine. The discussion turns to the Union's "low point" in August 1864, where Lincolnexpected to lose the election to Democrat George McClellan. Carwardine describes the Democratic campaign as "brokenbacked" for pairing a general with a peace platform. However, the fall of Atlanta revived Union hopes. Carwardine emphasizes how pastors articulated a "higher cause"—the preservation of a unique republican government—to justify the war's terrible "bloodletting" and sacrifice.1887 BEECHER COTTAGE, LENOX, MA

Many fans of Edith Wharton's great novels "The Age of Innocence" and "The House of Mirth" may not realize that her very first published book was not a work of fiction at all. In 1897, in collaboration with architect and interior designer Ogden Codman Jr, Wharton published "The Decoration of Houses", at the time, a groundbreaking work on the philosophy of interior design calling for a return to the classic European principles of balance, symmetry and proportion. In fact when she built her own great country home The Mount in Lenox, Massachusetts in 1902, she incorporated many of the French, Italian and British principles she lays out in the book.In this episode, returning guest Dr. Emily Orlando, noted Wharton scholar and author, helps us understand just what the publication of this first book meant to Wharton and the career that was to come. Furthermore, Dr. Orlando addresses the overriding theme of Wharton's own search for home and place that reoccurs regularly in her stories and novels.  We can then understand not only Edith Wharton's concepts for classic architectural design but at least for her - what makes a house a home.Dr. Emily Orlando is the editor of a recently published new annotated edition of "The Decoration of Houses" available wherever books are sold.This episode was produced and edited by Kieran Gannon  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

He's the founder of Creation Science Evangelism and Dinosaur Adventure Land in Lenox, Alabama, where he continues to teach that the Bible is not only spiritually true but scientifically accurate.In this conversation, Dr. Hovind and I go deep into the evidence for a young earth, why carbon dating doesn't work, what the world looked like before Noah's flood, and why dinosaurs fit perfectly into the biblical narrative. We also tackle the flat earth movement and why Dr. Hovind believes evolution isn't just scientifically wrong but dangerously deceptive. If you've ever wrestled with questions about faith and science, this episode will challenge everything you thought you knew.In this episode you will learn:Why there are only two worldviews: creation or evolution, and why it matters for everythingThe scientific evidence that points to a 6,000 year old earth, not billionsWhy carbon dating and radiometric dating methods are deeply flawedWhat the pre-flood world was really like: 900 year lifespans, greater oxygen, and giantsHow dinosaurs lived alongside humans and what happened to them after the floodWhat Behemoth and Leviathan in the book of Job really wereWhy the flat earth theory is wrong and how to respond to it biblicallyHow evolutionary thinking laid the foundation for Nazism, communism, and moral decayWhy you can believe the Bible and still be intellectually credibleCheck out Dr. Kent Hovind's ministry and materials:Call: 855-BIG-DINO Email: drdino@drdino.com Website: https://www.drdino.com/ Kent Hovind TV: https://kenthovind.tv/ Shop: https://dr-dino.myshopify.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@kenthovindofficial1 Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/kenthovindofficial Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kenthovindofficial TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@kenthovindofficial Dinosaur Adventure Land in Lenox, Alabama (free admission!)Subscribe and follow The Dig In Podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thejohnnyovaFollow all things Johnny Ova: https://linktr.ee/johnnyovaGrab Johnny's book, The Revelation Reset: https://a.co/d/hiUkW8H

Mary Hartman, the director of education at Bard on the Beach Shakespeare Festival in Vancouver, BC, Canada, shares her philosophy for Shakespeare education and its emphasis on play. Mary reveals why threads is a better term than themes; how Shakespeare's plays should not be poetry readings; how she's developed the Discovery Zone, an extensive free resource for both students and educators; and how so much of Shakespeare's power is not just in his words, but in the relationship of actors to each other and to the audience. NOTE: This conversation was recorded the night before we learned Tina Packer, the Founding Artistic Director of Shakespeare & Company in Lenox, Massachusetts and an acclaimed director, actor, writer, and teacher, died at the age of 87. Tina was a mentor to generations of artists, scholars, and educators, including Mary, and so this conversation is an unintentionally timely tribute to and celebration of the legacy of Tina Packer. (Length 19:30) The post Play(s), Not Work(s) appeared first on Reduced Shakespeare Company.

Your body's 'terrain' can help determine whether disease takes hold, and it's shaped by inflammation, insulin sensitivity, and microbiome balance. Functional medicine physician Dr. Elizabeth Boham reveals exactly how to optimize this internal environment. Discover why "crucial cruciferous" vegetables, colorful plant foods, and some other simple lifestyle shifts create a terrain where your immune system naturally eliminates abnormal cells before they become problematic and allows true health to blossom.   LET'S TALK THE WALK!

Years before Brian Walshe was charged with murdering and dismembering his wife Ana, he allegedly pulled off another calculated crime—this time against his own father. Dr. Thomas Walshe, a prominent neurologist at Brigham and Women's Hospital, hadn't spoken to his son in over a decade when he died unexpectedly while traveling in India in September 2018. And for good reason: according to court documents, Brian had stolen nearly $800,000 from his father during a Lenox home refinance deal years earlier—took the check, then vanished for over a decade.  Thomas made his feelings clear in his will, leaving his only child "my best wishes but nothing else from my estate." He even appointed his nephew Andrew as executor. But Brian, according to family friends, got into his father's Hull home before anyone else, allegedly destroyed the will, then convinced Plymouth County Probate Court he was the rightful heir. By the time Thomas's friends intervened, Brian had already drained at least $250,000 from bank accounts, sold off a Salvador Dalí painting, a Miró, oriental rugs, jewelry, even the car—and nearly unloaded the waterfront house itself.  The only reason the scheme was stopped? One of Thomas's friends had photographed the will with his cell phone. Court filings also reveal allegations that Brian once tried to smuggle antiquities out of China and allegedly attacked guards when confronted. One longtime friend wrote that Brian was diagnosed as a sociopath at Austen Riggs psychiatric hospital. The pattern here is impossible to ignore: allegedly forge, destroy, manipulate, and take what isn't yours. This is the same man now accused of killing his wife days after learning of her affair—and standing to collect $2.7 million in life insurance. Jury deliberations resume Monday. #BrianWalshe #AnaWalshe #TrueCrime #WalsheTrial #ThomasWalshe #InheritanceFraud #CohassetMurder #CrimePodcast #MurderTrial #TrueCrimeYouTube Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Most people don't realize that what happens in the mouth can ripple through the whole body. The balance of the oral microbiome—the community of bacteria living in our mouths—can either protect us or trigger widespread inflammation that affects the heart, joints, and brain. Hidden dental infections or mercury fillings can quietly drive fatigue, autoimmune issues, or dementia—and fixing the mouth often helps the rest of the body heal, too. The good news is that with simple steps like eating whole foods (often removing gluten), cleaning the mouth well, and breathing through the nose, we can protect both our smile and our overall health. When we care for the mouth as part of the body, lasting wellness becomes possible from the inside out. In this episode, Dr. Todd LePine, Dr. Elizabeth Boham, James Nestor, and I talk about how a healthy mouth microbiome is a key to whole-body wellness. Dr. Todd LePine graduated from Dartmouth Medical School and is Board Certified in Internal Medicine, specializing in Integrative Functional Medicine. He is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner. Prior to joining The UltraWellness Center, he worked as a physician at Canyon Ranch in Lenox, MA, for 10 years. Dr. LePine's focus at The UltraWellness Center is to help his patients achieve optimal health and vitality by restoring the natural balance to both the mind and the body. His areas of interest include optimal aging, bio-detoxification, functional gastrointestinal health, systemic inflammation, autoimmune disorders, and the neurobiology of mood and cognitive disorders. Dr. Elizabeth Boham is Board Certified in Family Medicine from Albany Medical School, and she is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner and the Medical Director of The UltraWellness Center. Dr. Boham lectures on a variety of topics, including Women's Health and Breast Cancer Prevention, insulin resistance, heart health, weight control and allergies. She is on the faculty for the Institute for Functional Medicine. James Nestor is an author and journalist who has written for Scientific American, Outside, The New York Times, and more. His book, Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art, was an instant New York Times and London Sunday Times bestseller. Breath explores how the human species has lost the ability to breathe properly—and how to get it back. Breath spent 18 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list in the first year of release, and will be translated into more than 30 languages. Breath was awarded the Best General Nonfiction Book of 2020 by the American Society of Journalists and Authors, and was nominated for Best Science Book of 2021 by the Royal Society. Nestor has spoken at Stanford Medical School, Yale School of Medicine, Harvard Medical School, The United Nations, Global Classroom, and appeared on more than 60 radio and television shows, including Fresh Air with Terry Gross, the Joe Rogan Show, and more. He lives and breathes in San Francisco. This episode is brought to you by BIOptimizers. Head to bioptimizers.com/hyman and use code HYMAN to save 15%.

Many psychiatric labels—like bipolar disorder and schizophrenia—can obscure underlying biology, and symptom checklists often fail to explain or heal what's really going on. Emerging evidence reframes mental illness as a problem of brain energy, mitochondria, and inflammation—shaped by insulin signaling, circadian rhythm disruption, the gut–brain axis, toxins, infections, and nutrient status. Metabolic interventions such as ketogenic nutrition, already established for epilepsy, show promise for rebalancing neurotransmitters, lowering neuroinflammation, and improving overall brain function. With depression now a leading cause of disability, shifting from “manage the symptoms” to “fix the biology” could dramatically improve outcomes where standard drugs fall short. In this episode, Dr. Christopher Palmer, Dr. Todd LePine, Dr. Iain Campbell and I explore how rethinking mental illness as a metabolic and inflammatory disorder of the brain—rather than just a chemical imbalance—could transform the treatment and prevention of conditions like depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. Dr. Chris Palmer is a psychiatrist and researcher working at the interface of metabolism and mental health. He is the Director of the Department of Postgraduate and Continuing Education at McLean Hospital and an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. For over 25 years, he has held leadership roles in psychiatric education, conducted research, and worked with people who have treatment-resistant mental illnesses. He has been pioneering the use of the medical ketogenic diet in the treatment of psychiatric disorders - conducting research in this area, treating patients, writing, and speaking around the world on this topic. More broadly, he is interested in the roles of metabolism and metabolic interventions on brain health. Dr. Todd LePine graduated from Dartmouth Medical School and is Board Certified in Internal Medicine, specializing in Integrative Functional Medicine. He is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner. Prior to joining The UltraWellness Center, he worked as a physician at Canyon Ranch in Lenox, MA, for 10 years. Dr. LePine's focus at The UltraWellness Center is to help his patients achieve optimal health and vitality by restoring the natural balance to both the mind and the body. His areas of interest include optimal aging, bio-detoxification, functional gastrointestinal health, systemic inflammation, autoimmune disorders, and the neurobiology of mood and cognitive disorders.  Dr. lain Campbell is the first academic research fellow to specialise in Metabolic Psychiatry as the Baszucki Research Fellow in Metabolic Psychiatry at the University of Edinburgh. He has a PhD in Global Health from the University of Edinburgh and is a principal investigator on a pilot trial of a ketogenic diet for bipolar disorder. He is a workstream lead and co-investigator on the first publicly funded research hub for Metabolic Psychiatry, the UKRI Medical Research Council Hub for Metabolic Psychiatry at the University of Edinburgh. His research in metabolic psychiatry has been published in Nature press journals Molecular Psychiatry and Translational Psychiatry and presented at Mayo Clinic Grand Rounds and The Royal College of Psychiatrists International Congress.  This episode is brought to you by BIOptimizers.
