UnHerd's Freddie Sayers speaks with Oxford epidemiologist Professor Sunetra Gupta - one of the three primary authors of the Great Barrington Declaration - to uncover why the UK's massive £200 million COVID inquiry has produced a conclusion she calls an "insult" to the public intelligence. With the report claiming that locking down just one week earlier would have saved 23,000 lives, Gupta dismantles the modelling behind the headline and ask the questions the inquiry refused to: Why was the clear counter-evidence of Sweden ignored? And did the scientific establishment betray its own duties by choosing the certain harm of lockdown over the uncertain control of a virus? Hosted on Acast.

After starting as a barista in 1996 to becoming the co-founder, owner, and Co-CEO of Biggby Coffee, this week's guest on Insight Out is Mike McFall, a growth-minded entrepreneur that believes in the power of self-awareness, positivity, and conscious capitalism as the core values of a successful business.  His book, Grind: A No-Bullshit Approach to Take Your Business from Concept to Cash Flow, focuses on the importance of revenue and practical ways to build cash flow in a budding company. He also explores his philosophy that business requires us to be aggressive and simultaneously self-aware.  In this episode, Mike and I discuss the road to becoming CEO of a successful corporation, why conscious capitalism and company culture are at the core of employee retention, why focus is a critical component in building a business, and more. In this episode, we discuss: The key lessons that sailing around the world at 16 taught Mike (3:40) Mike's journey as a Red Wings fan and the importance of visioning work (5:43) A breakdown of the visualization process (10:06) How Mike was introduced to conscious capitalism and the way it transformed his business (13:10) How Mike became partners with Bob Fish (23:44) The importance of competition in business (27:28) Why self awareness is a critical component of your business (29:43) How to ask for valuable feedback (33:10) The biggest contributor to Biggby Coffee's success (35:41) Mike's advice for aspiring or current business owners (38:26)  Why entrepreneurs need to be like the sun (44:30)  Mike's approach to fostering a people-first company (48:07) How to develop company culture that respects the employees (51:37) Where to find Mike McFall and his final word of advice (56:35)  Notable Quotes: “When you say something enough, you begin to hear yourself say it, other people hear you say it, and they can support you. And it helps to reaffirm that you're on the course to go where you want to go.” – Billy (9:26) “The real root of conscious capitalism is that it's an inclusive environment where you don't make tradeoffs between these different components and that you make decisions that everyone benefits from.” – Mike (20:29)  “Your self awareness is the most critical component to the success of your business.” – Mike (30:31)  “In the end it's not about revenue. What it's about is it's about improving, and it's an obsession with improvement. And when we obsess with improvement… the revenue generation, the growth, is a subset of the obsession with improvement.” – Mike (42:34) “Leadership is about setting the example and then living within that constantly.” – Mike (47:16) “In the end, people just want to be around other people who they relate to and they feel a connection to as another human being.” (59:19) Resources & Links: Mike McFall  LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/mike-biggby⁠  Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/mikejmcfall⁠ Biggby Coffee: ⁠https://www.biggby.com/⁠  Billy Samoa Saleebey  LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/billysamoa⁠  Email: ⁠billy@podify.com⁠ and ⁠saleebey@gmail.com⁠  Insight Out  Website: ⁠https://insightoutshow.com/⁠ This is an encore episode and was originally published on December 30, 2022 Learn more about your ad choices.

In this rich conversation, Camden Bucey sits down with Dr. Chad Van Dixhoorn—historian, pastor, and professor at Reformed Theological Seminary in Charlotte—to explore the remarkable work and enduring wisdom of the Westminster Assembly. Together, they discuss how the divines pursued theological clarity through collaboration, not compromise, and how their humility and respect shaped confessional standards that have guided the Reformed church for centuries. Van Dixhoorn explains why the Westminster Confession should be seen as "a document with compromises, not a compromise document," how its chapters differ in tone and theological armor, and what this teaches us about confessional fidelity today. The conversation also explores doctrinal preaching—how to preach theology without losing the text—and why confessions must unite rather than constantly be rewritten. With warmth and clarity, Dr. Van Dixhoorn reminds us that Reformed unity is not built on uniformity, but on the shared pursuit of truth before the face of God. 00:00 Introduction and Word & Deed Ministry 01:18 At the Reformation and Worship Conference 04:10 Introducing Dr. Chad Van Dixhoorn and the Westminster Assembly 06:00 Consensus, Collaboration, and Compromise in the Assembly 09:30 The Process of Drafting the Westminster Standards 12:00 Respectful Debate and the Spirit of the Divines 19:30 Comparing the Westminster and Heidelberg Traditions 25:30 Confessional Revision, Study Committees, and Doctrinal Reports 33:00 Doctrinal Preaching: From Text to Theology 40:50 The Joy of Teaching and Ongoing Research on the Divines

https://teachhoops.com/ Why Is "Repetition with Variation" More Effective Than Simple Rote-Drilling? The foundation for getting players to remember anything—from a complex set play to a simple defensive principle—is to make the abstract concrete and give it a name. A play is just a series of movements until it's "UCLA," "Horns," or "Victory." By giving concepts a simple, memorable name, you create a mental shortcut that allows for instant recall under pressure. When teaching it, you must move beyond what to do and relentlessly explain why it's done. A player who only knows his route on a play is a robot; a player who understands the purpose of his cut—to clear space, to occupy a help defender, to set up the next action—can read, react, and make the right decision even when the initial play breaks down. Once a concept is taught, memory is not built through mindless repetition, but through purposeful repetition with variation. Running a 5-on-0 set play perfectly is a start, but it doesn't prepare players for the chaos of a live game. To truly encode a lesson, you must use "interleaved practice"—mixing that new play with other plays and drills—and add layered constraints. Start 5-on-0, then add passive defense, then add full-contact defense, and finally, run it in a scrimmage where the defense knows it's coming. This process of "forgetting" and "retrieving" the information in different, high-pressure contexts is what moves a lesson from short-term memory to long-term, accessible skill. Finally, you must hold players accountable for recall by making it a part of your daily culture, not just a drill. Use film, walk-throughs, and Socratic questioning constantly. Stop practice and ask a player, "What did you see on that possession?" or "What is the primary objective of this defensive coverage?" When a player makes a mistake, don't just tell them the answer; ask them what they were supposed to do. This method forces them to be active participants in their own learning. It builds true basketball IQ, which is not just knowing the plays, but understanding the game well enough to remember and apply the right principle at the right time.

What if the fastest way to grow your pool service isn't a new ad, but a missed call you never return? We walk through the simple, repeatable habits top plumbers, HVAC techs, and landscapers use to win business—and show exactly how to apply them to pool care. The playbook is straightforward: answer quickly, look professional, write clear bids, and respect the clock. Do these well and you'll close more estimates, earn better clients, and build a referral engine that compounds.We start with responsiveness because it's the real gatekeeper. When a homeowner is shopping, they call until a human picks up. A quick reply—by phone or text—keeps the lead alive and signals reliability from day one. We share low-friction systems to capture calls during business hours, including using a spouse, assistant, or simple auto-texts to acknowledge inquiries. Then we dig into presentation: clean, branded trucks, tidy uniforms, and name tags that build instant trust at the curb. Image isn't vanity; it's proof of care.From there, we get practical about paperwork and punctuality. Typed, detailed bids and easy-to-read invoices set you apart from scribbled carbon copies, reduce haggling, and speed approvals. A one-page service agreement clarifies what's included, what costs extra, and how you work—making you look modern and organized. Finally, we get real about time: arriving when you say you will, or texting early if you're delayed, tells clients their day matters. That respect shows up in reviews, renewals, and referrals.If you're ready to turn small habits into a big advantage, this conversation gives you the framework and the tools to start today. Subscribe, share this with a fellow pool pro, and leave a review to tell us which habit you'll upgrade first.We share habits from top trades that any pool pro can use to win more leads: answer fast, look sharp, write clear bids, and show up on time.

Money can so easily capture our hearts. It promises security, comfort, and control—but often leaves us anxious and striving for more. Yet when we give, something remarkable happens. We're declaring our dependence on God, not our bank accounts.Dr. Art Rainer—founder of the Institute for Christian Financial Health and author of Money in the Light of Eternity: What the Bible Says about Your Financial Purpose—joined us recently to explore how generosity becomes an act of trust that transforms our hearts and deepens our faith.Money Reveals the HeartLarry Burkett often said, “Every spending decision is a spiritual decision.” Dr. Rainer agrees.“Jesus said, Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also,” Art explained. “The Bible makes it clear—money management reflects heart management.”Scripture contains over 2,000 verses about money and possessions. Why? Because few things so clearly reveal what—or whom—we truly trust. For believers, the central question is this: Do we believe God's promises about provision, and are we willing to surrender this area of life to Him?Giving as an Act of TrustDr. Rainer describes giving as a tangible expression of faith. “God doesn't tell us to give and then leave us hanging,” he said. “He ties promises to generosity.”Those promises fall into three beautiful truths—God will provide, multiply, and enrich.1. God Promises to ProvideIn Malachi 3:10, the Lord declares:“Bring all the tithes into the storehouse so there will be enough food in my Temple. If you do, I will open the windows of heaven for you and pour out a blessing so great you won't have enough room to take it in. Try it! Put me to the test!”“God invites us to trust Him,” Art said. “He promises to pour out an abundance of blessings—not necessarily material wealth, but blessings that can be spiritual, relational, or emotional. Maybe it's the contentment you've been chasing for years, or the joy of being part of something far greater than yourself.”2. God Promises to MultiplyIn John 6, a young boy offers his five loaves and two fish to Jesus—hardly enough to feed five thousand hungry people. Yet Christ multiplies that small gift until everyone is satisfied, with twelve baskets left over.“Many of us feel like that boy,” Art said. “We look at our meager resources and wonder, What difference can this make? But God is a God of multiplication. He can take whatever you give and expand it to accomplish His purposes. That's His promise—but it requires trust.”3. God Promises to EnrichWho doesn't love a good return on investment—or ROI? “God does too,” Art said.In 2 Corinthians 9:11, Paul writes, “You will be enriched in every way so that you can always be generous.”“God gives so that we can give,” Art continued. “He blesses so that we can bless others. He's looking for conduits of generosity—people through whom His blessings can flow. When we live that way, generosity becomes not just a habit, but a way of life.”Trusting God With Your MoneyAs Dr. Rainer summed it up:“Generosity is an act of trust. It shifts our hearts from reliance on ourselves and money to reliance on God. If you're a Christian, you've already trusted Him with your soul. It's time to trust Him with your money.”When we give generously, we're not losing—we're investing in eternity. We're saying, “Lord, I believe You are my provider.” And that's one of the clearest ways to live out genuine faith.Learn more about Dr. Art Rainer's work at ChristianMoneySolutions.com.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm 69 with no debt and considering a whole life insurance policy—$100,000 with premiums for 10 years—to leave tax-free money to my children.

"Within 10 years, big changes will occur and the dollar will no longer be the reserve currency," says Dr. Marc Faber. In today's interview with Daniela Cambone, the famed contrarian investor and Grant Williams detail their stark outlook for the West, arguing that true capitalism has been dead for decades. "We haven't had real capitalism for 50-odd years now. It's been creeping further and further away to crony capitalism," Williams states, with Faber adding that the "damage has been done" after years of money printing that has expanded government and eroded living standards.They break down the surprising optimism and economic growth they see across Asia, contrasting it with the declining conditions in the U.S. and Europe. Faber also shares why he believes physical precious metals, and specifically platinum which he calls a prime target for a market "squeeze", are the ultimate assets to protect wealth, while Williams reveals his argument for why Bitcoin and stablecoins are "highly questionable" in a world facing the risk of systemic blackouts and why central bank gold buying is a signal every investor must follow.Chapters: 00:00 – What people are saying in Asia04:26 – The current state of the UK11:06 – NYC's new mayor13:33 – Capitalism: how did we get here?16:17 – Reasons Europe is declining19:23 – Can central banks be eliminated?19:48 – Mark's prediction for gold26:57 – Why Mark favors the platinum market30:25 – De-dollarization36:30 – China's role on global stage38:05 – Marc's warning about war43:26 – Final thoughts from Grant and Marc✅ FREE RESOURCESDownload The Private Wealth Playbook — a data-backed guide to strategically acquiring gold and silver for maximum protection, privacy, and performance.

Dharshan Rangegowda, founder of ScaleGrid, left a decade-long engineering career at Microsoft to solve a painful database operations problem he had lived firsthand. After early missteps selling to enterprises, he shifted to helping developers manage MongoDB, Redis, and Postgres on the cloud, bootstrapping the business from scratch. ScaleGrid grew steadily through product depth, technical support, and Dharshan's mastery of SEO—becoming the top organic result for many key searches. The company expanded into multiple database engines, added a distributed engineering team, and reached 20 employees by 2021, serving both SMB developers and some enterprise teams.  Dharshan sold a majority stake to Spotlight Equity Partners during the pandemic after receiving an unsolicited offer, later stepping out of day-to-day operations while remaining on the board.  In this conversation, Dharshan shares hard-earned lessons about product-led growth, support as strategy, SEO as a long-game advantage, and how bootstrapped founders can build meaningful outcomes in massive markets.  Key Takeaways SEO Power: SEO remains a long-term growth engine for bootstrappers because big VC-backed companies rarely have the patience to compound it. Support as Strategy: Deep, responsive technical support became ScaleGrid's differentiator and directly informed product innovation and content. Start at the Edges: Enterprises won't buy from a one-person startup, but edge users with urgent problems will — and they become your early beachhead. Bootstrap Constraints: Founder over-frugality can limit growth; strategic delegation and early team building prevent burnout and plateauing. This Interview Is Perfect For Bootstrap SaaS founders Technical founders selling to developers Founders stuck in early traction or slow growth Anyone considering a PE exit or multi-year acquisition process Quote from Darshan Rangegowda, founder of ScaleGrid "You can't take random people and make them an entrepreneur. You have to want to be an entrepreneur and want to be on your own. You have to enjoy the freedom and the risk and the upside that comes with it and the unmitigated downside as well. You have to accept and be comfortable with it.  "You want to be on your own so you can try things. You are constantly looking at problems and new solutions. You want to be around people who like that sort of process: Here's a new problem and here's a new solution.  "But the most important thing you have to do as an entrepreneur is you have to add value to your customers. And most people forget that."

It explores why simply limiting screen time or enforcing rules isn't enough, and instead emphasizes building environments that foster long-term habits and motivation. His book 10 to 25: The Science of Motivating Young People: A Groundbreaking Approach to Leading the Next Generation―And Making Your Own Life Easier unpacks this even more.  It's not hard to make the connection between top-down rules about screen time and top-down rules about using AI. If parents or teachers want kids to obey the rules, we need to give kids agency and involve them in setting their own boundaries.
