Graphene is a 2-dimensional variety of the element carbonIt's what's know as a carbon "allotrope" consisting of a single layer of carbon atoms tightly bound in a hexagonal honeycomb lattice.Graphene is known for its exceptionally high tensile strength, electrical conductivity, transparency, and being the thinnest two-dimensional material in the world.Despite the nearly transparent nature of a single graphene sheet, graphite (formed from stacked layers of graphene) appears black because it absorbs all visible light wavelengths.On a microscopic scale, graphene is the strongest material ever measured.Graphene is a versatile, ultra-strong, and highly conductive material used to enhance batteries (faster charging), create durable anti-corrosion coatings, develop flexible electronics, improve solar panel efficiency, and advance biomedical applications like drug delivery.It acts as a super-material additive in composites, strengthening everything from tennis rackets to car tires.To discuss the coming graphene revolution, we have the good fortune to talk with Kjirstin Breure, President and Chief Executive Officer of HydroGraph Clean PowerSCHEDULE YOUR FREE PORTFOLIO REVIEW with Thoughtful Money's endorsed financial advisors at https://www.thoughtfulmoney.com#graphene #graphenecoating #hydrograph_____________________________________________ Thoughtful Money LLC is a Registered Investment Advisor Promoter.We produce educational content geared for the individual investor.

Today, Gavi FINALLY gets to talk about his favorite topic, Jean Beaudrillard's "Simulacra and Simulation," which explains Hyperreality. "The Matrix" film is allegorical to the postmodern condition of Hyperreality. We discuss examples of simulacra, Hyperreality, and the history of how we (in the western canon) came to view the world this way. We discuss simulated reality as it relates to christian fundamentalism and the US.If you have any thoughts, opinions, or questions about this topic (or corrections) please let us know either by comment or by emailing us at LeavingEdenPod@gmail.com!

A Note from Michael: The Thriving Farmer Podcast is currently on pause as we navigate a busy season on the farm. While we're taking this break, we're excited to share Farm in Focus, a special series of short, focused conversations recorded earlier this year. These bite-sized episodes highlight practical insights from farmers and experts across the industry. We hope they're helpful and encouraging as you continue your farming journey. What does it look like to rebuild—not just a house, but a sense of home—after loss? In this Farm in Focus episode, Michael sits down with Shawn and Beth Dougherty to talk about the journey of rebuilding their farmhouse after losing it in a fire. What began as a devastating loss became a catalyst for a deeply meaningful family project—one rooted in resilience, shared work, and intentional design. Shawn and Beth reflect on the emotional and practical realities of starting over, how their grown children contributed their skills to the rebuild, and the lessons they carried forward from their original home. From architectural choices that emphasize natural light and gathering spaces, to the importance of porches, durability, and legacy, this conversation is ultimately about belonging—on the land and with one another. This episode offers encouragement for anyone walking through loss, rebuilding something meaningful, or seeking to create spaces that foster connection, family, and community. In this episode, you'll hear about: Rebuilding After the Fire How the fire became the catalyst for a family-wide rebuilding effort [01:35] Why rebuilding was essential for a sense of belonging and continuity [01:35] The role of community support in their recovery [01:35] Designing a Home with Intention Lessons learned from their original farmhouse [10:58] Why natural light and open gathering spaces mattered most [10:58] How porches and outdoor spaces shape daily life and hospitality [10:58] Family, Legacy & Community How their children contributed professional skills to the rebuild [21:44] Building a home meant to last for generations [21:44] Why investing in family relationships is foundational to stability [21:44] Doing the right thing—even when it's hard [21:44] Bio: Shawn and Beth Dougherty have been homesteading together since 1985, for the past 35 years in northern Appalachia. They raise dairy and beef cows, pigs, and poultry on a small acreage designated by the state of Ohio as "not suitable for agriculture." The Doughertys write, teach, and speak on holistic grazing and inputs-free farming, using grass-fed ruminants to restore abused land and build fertile, resilient farmsteads. They are the authors of One Cow Revolution, The Independent Farmstead, and The Independent Farmstead's Field Guides to Inputs-Free Farming series. Links:
For simple actionable tips to grow your business, subscribe to The FoundHer Files Attention from the media can change the trajectory of a brand, but it is rarely the full story. In this episode of Dear FoundHer, Lindsay Pinchuk sits down with Elyce Arons to talk about what getting press really did for her business and how it influenced long term growth. If you are focused on founder visibility and questioning how getting press translates into revenue, this conversation offers valuable insight.Elyce shares one of the most grounded real founder stories about building Kate Spade and later launching Frances Valentine. She shares stories of meeting Katie in college, how the business really started in Katie and Andy's loft, and how getting press created credibility and momentum for the handbag company, especially in a pre-social media era. Elyce explains that disciplined execution turned that visibility into demand. Publicity can spark interest, but managing rapid growth is what determines whether a company can sustain it.They also discuss scaling responsibly when cash flow is tight and every decision carries so much weight. Elyce reflects on motherhood and entrepreneurship and how her priorities evolved as her business grew. This episode is for founders who want stronger visibility, are navigating expansion, or are thinking carefully about how to build something that lasts well beyond early recognition.Episode Breakdown:00:01 Elyce Arons On Building Kate Spade And Starting Over With Frances Valentine02:03 From Kansas To New York: The Friendship That Started It All10:27 The Small Branding Choice That Made Kate Spade Instantly Recognizable12:44 Getting Press Before Social Media: Editorial Coverage As A Growth Engine16:57 Managing Rapid Growth And The Decision To Sell Kate Spade20:22 Motherhood And Entrepreneurship After Exit: Identity And Chapter Two25:05 Leading Frances Valentine Through Loss And Protecting Katie's Legacy41:29 3 Lessons For Women Founders On Experience, Funding, And Trusting Your GutConnect with Elyce Arons:Follow Elyce on InstagramFollow Frances Valentine on InstagramFoundHer Faves:Varley Wide Leg PantsPetite Plume Pajama SetMidi Health Daily Fiber+CreatineMenopause Survival KitThe MenopsychologistUpskill DevelopmentalJoin our online networking community: Dear FoundHer Forum Follow Dear FoundHer on InstagramPodcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm Hosted on Acast.

Patty Riddle Kirshner, a Nebraska pastor and evangelist, shares how her life changed when COVID swept through her church in August 2020. Patty spent 83 days in four hospitals, over four weeks in a coma, suffered paralysis from the neck down, and died briefly from cardiac arrest. During that moment, she describes being in heaven's "glory," overwhelmed by God's presence, seeing an unusual sky color and things that stunned her. God told her she could stay or return; she chose to come back because there was more work to do. After extensive rehabilitation, she recovered movement and a national news team welcomed her home. Tragically, she soon faced her husband Ronnie's glioblastoma diagnosis; he died in May 2021. Patty reflects on the anger, the grief, learning to live "in the moment," staying connected to community and church, starting the widows' group Embrace, and testifying that God remained faithful through suffering, loss, and renewed purpose. 00:00 A Glimpse of Glory 00:41 Meet Patty and Her Story 01:33 Life Before COVID 02:37 Symptoms and Denial 04:43 Hospitalization and Fear 07:20 Coma and Ventilator Fight 10:29 Heart Stops Heaven Visit 13:36 Choose to Stay or Go 14:48 Rehab Isolation and Fear 18:45 Recovery and Witnessing 20:41 Vision of Anointing 22:24 Husband's Fall and Diagnosis 24:17 Grief After Loss 25:58 Finding Hope Again 26:56 New Love And Calling 28:51 Hard Questions Anger 31:14 Staying In The Moment 33:22 Advice For Widows 36:20 Embrace Support Group 40:59 Knowing God Is Real 44:07 Haiti Prophetic Warning 45:20 Ministry Links And Prayer of blessing over listeners Patty's facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/p/Evangelist-Patty-Riddle-100081176667734/ Patty's Website: https://www.womenunitedministry.com/

From franchising fitness empires to developing the next generation of athletes — Pat Rigsby has seen it all, and he's not done yet. In this episode, Pat joins Eric to break down what's actually shifting in the fitness and sports performance industry in 2025, why the gap between "trainer who pays rent" and real business owner has never been wider, and what two decades of franchising experience taught him before launching Athletes Accelerated. Pat pulls no punches on what it really takes to franchise a concept (hint: it's a legal marriage, not a passive income play), why the youth sports market is one of the most recession-resistant businesses you can build, and how he and partners Doug Sperling and Graham Wilkerson spent over a year stress-testing a model before ever filing an FDD. If you're a sports performance gym owner grinding through 14-hour days while missing your own kid's games, this one hits different. Takeaways:
What happens when the state infiltrates your most intimate relationships? How do we protect the innocence and imagination of children in an increasingly authoritarian world? “"If you have love, eventually you're going to win. It's not that people aren't going to die. It's not terrible things aren't going to happen.

In this episode of the Wine and Gold Talk podcast, Ethan Sands and Chris Fedor answer the uncomfortable question that lingered long after the final buzzer. The Cavaliers' 122-119 overtime defeat to the Detroit Pistons came with chaos — including a bizarre 12-minute delay caused by a malfunctioning buzzer — and a severely depleted rotation missing five key players. And yet, Cleveland controlled much of the night. The Cavs led for long stretches, dictated tempo and looked like the more complete team before late-game mistakes flipped the result. Inside the locker room, the tone wasn't deflated. It was defiant. Players expressed confidence that they are the superior team and pointed to self-inflicted wounds as the difference between walking away with a statement win and absorbing a frustrating loss. Ethan and Chris break down what matters more: the final score or the larger sample of evidence. They analyze Evan Mobley's impactful return from injury, where his rhythm showed up and where rust cost him. They spotlight Jaylon Tyson's defensive intensity and disruptive presence, while also unpacking the teachable mistakes that surfaced in high-leverage moments. If the East runs through Detroit right now, the question is whether Cleveland's performance reinforced the standings or challenged them. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Yusuf, author Chris Moore challenges the quiet myth that life only shrinks after midlife—and offers a more honest, powerful lens on getting older. This episode is for anyone in their 50s, 60s, or beyond who feels the pull of “decline,” or for younger listeners who want to age with intention. You'll hear how beliefs shape our choices, why elders matter, and a simple thought-check that helps you release fear and live the years ahead with clarity. About the Guest: Chris Moore is the author of Age Out Loud and a remodeling contractor specializing in aging-in-place home modifications. He also writes on Substack and shares reflections on purpose, perspective, and vibrant aging. Episode Chapters: 00:05:41 — The cultural story that aging equals decline 00:07:15 — Working with seniors: “homes no longer love them” 00:08:43 — Proof it's not “too late”: hikers, artists, marathoners 00:09:54 — Loss, grief, and choosing a new perspective 00:12:06 — Blue Zones and why elders are meant to be valued 00:17:35 — Belief shapes experience: “we think it's true because we believe it” 00:22:46 — The thought test: true, kind, and serving you Key Takeaways: Notice the “decline script” and question where it came from. Build evidence: collect real examples of people thriving later in life. Practice the thought test: Is it true? Is it kind? Does it serve me? Separate yourself from your thoughts—you can choose what to nurture. Treat movement, sleep, food, and community as daily votes for strength. If you doubt something, doubt your limits.

Tragedy can hit without warning, shattering the life you thought you had and leaving you questioning everything. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar sit down with Granger and Amber Smith to unpack how the sudden loss of their son, River, became a catalyst for a deeper faith and a radical encounter with God. The guys explore Granger's journey from the moment he almost took his life to the point he encountered Christ through the preaching of John Piper, and how that pivot transformed his heart. Amber shares her parallel journey, describing the nights of raw grief and relentless prayer that brought her face-to-face with God, showing listeners that hope can exist even in the most unthinkable loss.The guys discuss the Smiths' books, especially Amber's, which reads like a friend walking alongside the reader through suffering. Granger and Amber reflect on how their grief prompted them to confront real sin, misunderstandings about God, and the false peace offered by the world. The guys highlight how lament is a biblical response to pain, showing listeners that crying out to God brings healing. They stress that grief and repentance are not signs of weak faith but pathways to deeper intimacy with God. Through their story, the guys underscore the need for the church to preach sin, righteousness, and judgment, helping believers suffer well and experience true revival of the heart.The conversation turns to hope for those struggling with suicidal thoughts or despair. Granger shares his experience and the importance of understanding God rightly, emphasizing that suicide is rooted in self-centeredness while the gospel redirects us toward others and toward Christ. The guys talk through the power of honest fellowship and prayer to release the hold of despair, illustrating that God's presence transforms suffering into purpose. Amber and Granger describe how the Lord allowed them to walk through grief and find the ability to comfort others, highlighting the gospel as a living hope even in loss.Finally, the guys reflect on practical ways the Smiths have integrated grief and faith into daily life. They talk about walking their remaining children through sorrow, showing the power of modeling faith over minimizing pain, and pointing to Jesus rather than focusing solely on the loss. Granger and Amber explain how their marriage grew stronger, their ministry deepened, and their desire to see others meet God intensified. The guys leave listeners with the reminder that even in unimaginable trials, God is present and the gospel provides the ultimate hope and healing for every loss.Send a textThanks for listening!
