And Another Thing With Dave, by Dave SmithIn this episode, Dave digs into a shocking federal court ruling that declared Americans do not have a constitutional right to clean drinking water. Using reporting from journalist Samantha Michaels, Dave breaks down how this decision affects public trust, vulnerable communities, and the future of basic civil rights.From water contamination in Jackson, Mississippi to the fragility of our food systems, Dave explores how government neglect of essential needs creates instability, anger, and historical patterns of upheaval. He connects today's issues to global examples — the Holodomor, the Irish famine, and modern supply‑chain failures — showing how control of food and water has always been a form of power.The episode closes with a look at farmland consolidation, Bill Gates' agricultural influence, the shift from organic to chemical farming, and why regenerative, local food systems may be the key to national security.The Fifth Circuit Court ruling: no constitutional right to clean drinking waterJackson, Mississippi's water crisis and legal dead endsHow government neglect erodes public trustHistorical parallels: French Revolution, Holodomor, Irish famineFood security as national securityBillionaires and foreign entities buying U.S. farmlandBill Gates, GMO advocacy, and synthetic food concernsThe shift from organic → chemical agriculture after WWIIWhy regenerative farming and local food systems matterThe dangers of concentrated land ownershipHow fragile supply chains threaten national stabilityPasture‑raised cattle vs. factory farmingDirect‑from‑rancher meat sourcingRecommended documentaries: What in the World Are They Spraying?, Dirt, The Omnivore's DilemmaWhen government stops protecting basic needs like water and food, society becomes fragile.Concentrated control of farmland and food production creates systemic weak points.Regenerative agriculture and local food networks strengthen communities.Public trust collapses when essential services fail — and history shows what happens next.Substack: Deep Dives with DaveMedium: deepdiveswithdaveInstagram: @BetterTodaywithDaveIf you're digging the conversation, spread the word.

Ask a question hereThis episode is intentionally abrasive.The pool industry wants the respect, credibility, and compensation of a skilled trade. But are we willing to establish, demand, demonstrate, and charge for skilled-trade standards?Rudy asked pool professionals what they believe is wrong with the industry, and the responses came flooding in: inadequate training, nonexistent licensing, bargain-basement pricing, oversized egos, unqualified technicians, social-media experts, bad installations, fragmented education, private equity, manufacturers selling around the trade, and customers who expect luxury service at Dollar General prices.The individual complaints may differ, but they point to the same contradiction: We demand professional respect while too often accepting mediocrity as normal.This episode examines why certification should be the beginning of professional development, not a declaration that someone never needs to learn another damn thing. Rudy challenges companies that send barely trained technicians into the field, veterans who mistake repetition for expertise, businesses that confuse pool count with profitability, and professionals who perform additional work for free and then wonder why customers do not value them.The pool industry has tremendous people, knowledge, innovation, and opportunity. What it lacks is consistent standards, clear career pathways, and enough professionals willing to say the three words most terrifying to an oversized industry ego:“I was wrong.”If the pool industry wants respect, it is time to earn the fucking thing.In This EpisodeWhy pool service should be treated as a legitimate skilled tradeThe difference between inexperience and unsupervised incompetenceWhy certification is only the beginning of professional developmentHow fragmented education leaves new technicians without a clear career pathWhy decades of repetition do not necessarily equal decades of experienceHow confidence and social-media visibility get mistaken for competenceWhy pool service companies chronically undervalue their workThe difference between revenue, profitability, growth, and craftsmanshipWhy staying small does not mean failingThe true cost behind professional equipment installation and serviceHow manufacturers, big-box retailers, franchises, and private equity affect the tradeWhy customer boundaries and clearly defined service agreements matterThe responsibilities companies, employees, customers, and professionals owe one anotherWhat the pool industry must do if it genuinely wants professional respectMemorable Line“The pool industry does not have a shortage of opportunity. It has a shortage of consistent standards and an oversupply of confidence.”#TalkingPoolsPodcast #PoolIndustry #PoolService #SwimmingPools #PoolProfessionals #PoolEducation #SkilledTrades #WaterChemistry #PoolBusiness #ProfessionalStandards Support the showThank you so much for listening!

Who is responsible for protecting the identity of a game after its original creator is gone?In this episode of Eternal Durdles, Zac and Phil dive into the idea of creative paternalism — the responsibility, care, and judgment required to preserve what makes a creative work itself.Using Magic: The Gathering as the primary example, we explore what happens when the people who originally created and loved a game are replaced by layers of corporate stewardship.What exactly is the “ethos” of Magic?Who gets to decide what belongs?And when does expanding a game into new audiences, aesthetics, and experiences stop being evolution and start becoming something fundamentally different?The conversation touches on Universes Beyond, Commander, Secret Lair, Premodern, Classic Legacy, Peak Legacy, and the changing relationship between Magic's original audience and the people discovering the game today.We also explore:What exactly creative paternalism meansRichard Garfield and the original vision of MagicWhy the original creators of a game matterThe difference between creating something new and simply repackaging an existing aestheticThe “geeks, mops, sociopaths and leeches” frameworkWhy corporations can struggle to preserve the identity of a creative propertyThe tension between growth and creative integrityWhy “more people playing Magic” isn't necessarily a sufficient design goalUniverses Beyond and whether different Magic experiences should coexist separatelyWhether older players and newer players actually need to be in the same “bucket”How this problem appears in music, using bands as an analogyWhy Premodern and Classic Legacy can feel like preserved snapshots of the gameAnd ultimately: when did Wizards jump the shark?Phil argues that the real problem may not be the existence of different audiences — but the decision to force fundamentally different experiences to collide in the same space. Zac ultimately points toward formats like Premodern and Classic Legacy as places where players can still find glimmers of the game they originally fell in love with.

In this special episode of Reimagining Cyber, Tyler Moffitt hosts the podcast for the final time — looking back on 15 years in cybersecurity, the lessons he's learned from speaking with security practitioners, researchers, MSPs and incident responders, and how dramatically the threat landscape has evolved.Tyler and incoming host Keelin Conant explore the shift from early malware and ransomware to double extortion, data theft and increasingly sophisticated nation-state activity. They also discuss how AI is accelerating the speed at which new exploits and attacks move from proof of concept into the wild.The conversation covers why organizations should report cybercrime to law enforcement, the role cryptocurrency trails can play in investigations, and the increasingly blurred line between financially motivated ransomware groups and nation-state operations.Looking ahead, Tyler shares some practical advice for defenders: treat identity as part of the security perimeter, limit privileges, protect administrative accounts, prepare for AI agents with excessive permissions, test backups, run tabletop exercises and focus on the fundamentals.But this episode is ultimately about more than technology. Tyler and Keelin discuss the importance of people, curiosity and human experience in cybersecurity — and why, despite changing technology and evolving attackers, there will always be a need to understand what is really happening and what defenders should do about it.As Tyler hands over the hosting role to Keelin, the next chapter of Reimagining Cyber begins.In this episode:15 years of cybersecurity lessonsHow ransomware has evolvedAI and the acceleration of cyber threatsWhy organizations should report cybercrimeNation-state attacks and ransomware-for-hireIdentity as the new security perimeterAI agents, permissions and OAuth tokensIncident response and tabletop exercisesWhy cybersecurity fundamentals still matterThe human side of cybersecurityTyler's final episode and Keelin's new chapter as hostAs featured on Million Podcasts' Best 100 Cybersecurity Podcasts  Top 50 Chief Information Security Officer CISO Podcasts Top 70 Security Hacking PodcastsThis list is the most comprehensive ranking of Cyber Security Podcasts online and we are honoured to feature amongst the best!Follow or subscribe to the show on your preferred podcast platform.Share the show with others in the cybersecurity world.Get in touch via reimaginingcyber@gmail.com

What if the biggest obstacle to changing your drinking isn't that you're doing too little—but that you've decided anything less than a dramatic change doesn't count?In this revisited episode of the Alcohol Minimalist Podcast, Molly explores the all-or-nothing thinking that can make sustainable change harder than it needs to be.You'll learn why the Doable Drink Plan starts with meeting yourself where you are, how perfectionism can quietly undermine progress, and why small, repeatable changes can help you build trust in yourself.Molly also examines the long-standing belief that abstinence is the only “real” way to change your drinking. Alcohol-free breaks can absolutely be helpful, but the thinking behind the action matters. Are you choosing a break because it supports your long-term goals—or because you believe anything less isn't good enough?In this episode:Why perfectionism can sabotage progressHow “this isn't enough” thinking keeps people stuckWhy small wins matterThe role of the Doable Drink PlanHow to think about alcohol-free breaks without turning them into a testWhy sustainable change is built through continuous improvementThe question isn't simply, “Am I doing enough?”A better question may be:“Is what I'm doing helping me build the skills and confidence I need for sustainable change?”Low risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:Healthy men under 65:No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work. ★ Support this podcast ★

What do you really want?According to the Gospel of John, that's the first question Jesus asks His would-be disciples:“What do you want?”In this reflection on Psalm 1, John Ortberg explores why that may be one of the most important questions we ever answer.Our lives have a way of organizing themselves around our deepest desires.How do you spend your time?Your money?What makes you angry?What are you willing to sacrifice for?Those things often reveal what we want more accurately than our words do.Psalm 1 gives us a picture of a different kind of life: a flourishing person, like a tree planted beside streams of water, with roots sunk deeply into God.And John closes with the remarkable story of Natan Sharansky, who spent years imprisoned in the Soviet Union and memorized the entire Book of Psalms.When he was finally released, Sharansky refused to cross the bridge to freedom until his captors returned his copy of the Psalms.What we fill our minds with matters.Because what fills our minds helps shape what we desire.So today, ask yourself:What do I really want?And:What am I filling my mind with?In this episode:The first question Jesus asks in John's GospelHow our lives reveal what we actually wantPsalm 1 and the meaning of “blessed”What biblical flourishing looks likeThe tree planted beside streams of waterWhy invisible roots matterThe progression of walking, standing and sittingWhy Psalm 1 isn't a formula for easy circumstancesHow inner goodness crowds out envy and greedNatan Sharansky's remarkable storyHow the Psalms sustained him through Soviet imprisonmentWhy what we fill our minds with shapes our livesScriptures: John 1:35–38 • Psalm 1 • Acts 20:35 • Matthew 7:12#Psalm1 #JohnOrtberg #Psalms #Jesus #SpiritualFormation #Flourishing #BibleStudy #ChristianFaith #Prayer #NatanSharansky

A Reese's from the pantry. A Mountain Dew from the fridge. McDonald's for dinner. Ice cream before bed.For Ronnie and me, some version of that was childhood.Years later, Ronnie was dealing with acne, rosacea, stress, and gut problems that took more than five years to work through. Doctors, stool tests, functional medicine, diet changes. A lot of trial and error.If 25% of adults have a diagnosed gut disease, then what is the best evidence for helping repair a damaged gut?We went through the research looking for the highest-confidence things someone can actually do. Two kept showing up.We break down both in this episode, including what the studies found, how to actually apply them, and why rebuilding your gut may require thinking less about a single supplement and more about the ecosystem you're creating inside and around yourself.We also get into:Why Ronnie believes stress played a major role in his acne and rosaceaThe strange two-way relationship between your gut and your brainWhat chronic stress can do to the microbiomeAntibiotics, PPIs, C-sections, exercise, fasting, and probioticsWhy your environment, soil, nature, and microbial exposure may matterThe vagus nerve and what breathwork and cold exposure have to do with gut healthWhy healing can take much longer than people expectOne of the studies we found was especially strange. Researchers transferred gut microbes from stressed animals into unstressed animals. The previously calm animals began showing stress-related behavior, hormonal changes, and inflammation.Your brain influences your gut. Your gut appears capable of influencing your brain right back.Ronnie lived some version of that loop for years. Worry about his skin created stress. Stress appeared to make things worse. Every breakout gave him another reason to worry.Getting out of that cycle became part of getting better.If you've been dealing with digestive problems, skin issues, chronic stress, or you simply want to understand how to build a healthier gut, this episode gives you a practical place to start.Research mentioned:Stress and gut microbiota:https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-017...Gut-brain axis, microbiota transfer, inflammation and vagus nerve research:https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1...We also discuss research from the American Gut Project, Stanford diet and microbiome trials, plant-diversity research, and fermented-food research referenced throughout the episode.American Gut Project, 2018Stanford high-fiber and fermented-food research2025 plant-diversity RCT2026 BIOME trialThis conversation is for education and discussion and does not replace medical advice. Antibiotics and other medications can be necessary.If this episode gave you something to think about, subscribe, like the video, and share it with someone who has been trying to figure out their gut health.

Signs, Manifestation & AbundanceWhat do you do when you know all the manifestation rules… but you're still anxious, checking, obsessing and wondering when it's finally going to happen?In this episode, I'm sharing three real-life stories from the past week that reminded me of some of the biggest lessons in manifestation: surrender, trust, intention and abundance.I talk about what happened when I was feeling completely consumed by my upcoming event, why I decided to ask the universe for a sign — and the very unexpected sign that appeared.I also share a powerful reminder that manifestation doesn't mean you'll never struggle. Sometimes the thing you're manifesting can bring up fear, doubt and anxiety, and that's where the real work begins.We also get into the importance of going back to your why and remembering that what you're creating doesn't have to be solely about you. What are you giving back? Who will your manifestation help?And finally, we talk about abundance — why you shouldn't obsess over how the money is going to come, and why becoming aware of the abundance already showing up in your life can completely shift your perspective.In this episode:Why even people who know manifestation inside out can still struggleA simple “I surrender and let go” practiceThe affirmation: “Everything always works out for me”How to ask for a sign — and recognise it when it arrivesWhy your why and your intention matterThe difference between connection and criticismHow your mindset can affect the way you approach what you're manifestingA simple practice for noticing the abundance already in your lifeWhy you don't need to know exactly where the money will come fromThe reminder that what goes around comes aroundSometimes you don't need to know how it's going to happen. You just need to believe that it can.Live Event: Ready, Sept, Manifest.

What happens when society teaches you who you are supposed to be before you've had the chance to decide for yourself?This week on The Songs That Made Us, Gunter explores John Lennon's “Working Class Hero,” a stark examination of class, identity, social hierarchy and the psychological consequences of being shaped—or “processed”—into the roles society creates for us.At the center of the song is something deceptively powerful: Lennon speaks in the second person.Official Music Video: https://youtu.be/Ve-mANenpC4?si=p2aTdXZSB9bJGVRxRather than simply recounting his own experience, he places the listener inside the machinery he is describing. The result transforms personal history into a broader confrontation with how class and social expectations become internalized.Gunter examines Lennon's childhood and the contradictions within his own upbringing, including the difference between economic circumstances and the emotional experience of class. From there, the episode explores class injury, shame, contempt, social mobility, meritocracy and the ways hierarchy can become embedded in our sense of self.The discussion also considers Lennon's experience with therapy and self-examination, and how that period of psychological exploration informed work that stripped away some of the mythology surrounding fame, success and status.More than half a century later, Working Class Hero continues to ask an uncomfortable question:How much of who we believe ourselves to be was actually chosen by us—and how much was assigned to us?Key Topics & TakeawaysWhy Lennon's use of the second person makes the song feel universalLennon's childhood and the idea of being socially “processed”How class and hierarchy influence identityThe psychology of class injuryWhy shame can transform into contemptThe emotional consequences of being taught inferiority—or superiorityTherapy, self-reflection and Lennon's examination of his own identitySocial mobility, meritocracy and structural barriersHow societal roles become psychologically internalizedWhy the song's isolation and lack of community matterThe continuing relevance of Lennon's critiqueChapter HighlightsIntroduction: Working Class Hero and Social CritiqueLennon's Childhood and the Idea of Being “Processed”The Second-Person Voice: Putting the Listener Inside the SongClass, Identity and Social HierarchyUnderstanding Class InjuryWhen Shame Becomes ContemptTherapy, Self-Reflection and Lennon's Personal HistorySocial Mobility and the Mythology of MeritocracyHow Society Becomes Part of the SelfIsolation, Community and the Structure of the SongWhy Working Class Hero Still MattersGratitudeWe want to extend a huge thank you to our listeners in Los Angeles, Van Nuys, Santa Monica, Santa Ana, Garden Grove, San Jose, Culver City, North Hollywood, and Folsom for bringing California up to #1 on the Top 10 USA listeners list.

In this powerful episode (#175) of Psychosocial Safety USA, Dr. I. David Daniels sits down with psychologist, academician, and trauma expert Dr. Kenneth Logan for a first‑ever conversation that goes straight to the core of the psychosocial safety ecosystem: moral harm and moral injury.Dr. Logan, who has spent more than 30 years working with first responders, military personnel, clergy, therapists, and others exposed to morally complex situations — breaks down how moral harm emerges when workplace conditions violate deeply held values. He explains why moral injury is not simply an emotional reaction but a predictable outcome of organizational environments that silence, scapegoat, betray, or abandon people when they need support most.Listeners will hear:How moral harm disrupts identity, trust, conscience, and belongingThe four types of moral injury: commission, omission, betrayal, and witnessingWhy accountability must be truthful, proportionate, and oriented toward repairHow value conflicts arise in real workplaces — and why they matterThe overlap between Dr. Logan's research and Dr. Daniels' Psychosocial Safety Deterioration Pathway™Why Gen Z's refusal to abandon their values is reshaping organizational cultureThis episode offers deep insight into the human consequences of value‑violating environments, and how organizations can create genuine psychosocial safety by addressing the conditions that cause harm in the first place.A must‑listen for leaders, practitioners, and anyone committed to building workplaces where people can speak honestly, be treated with dignity, and recover from morally complex experiences.Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/dope-cat/chill-fmLicense code: EC6EWN7L4XVAXCM0

What does our skin actually need after 40—and how much of what we've been told about aging is just really good marketing?In this episode, I'm talking with celebrity esthetician and skincare founder Angela Caglia, who has spent 30 years working hands-on with women's skin, including some very famous faces. Her client list has included Barbra Streisand, Amal Clooney, Helena Christensen, Alexandra Daddario and more.Angela has a refreshingly simple philosophy when it comes to aging--less is more.We talk about what physically changes in the skin during our 40s and beyond, why she thinks women are overdoing it with skincare, and the rise of regenerative beauty—including the science behind her human stem cell-derived skincare line.Angela also shares some advice that may make you rethink your entire routine: why many women over 40 should consider not washing their face in the morning, what she recommends instead, and why she believes we don't necessarily need the long lineup of retinol, vitamin C, hyaluronic acid and peptide serums we've been conditioned to buy.But this conversation goes much deeper than skincare.Angela opens up about being told by a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon—at just 52—that she needed a facelift, and why that experience made her question the increasingly aggressive way cosmetic procedures are being marketed to younger women. We talk about the pressure to look perpetually young, the influence of social media, and why sometimes the most powerful anti-aging advice is simply learning to look in the mirror and appreciate the face staring back at you.We talk:What actually happens to our skin after 40Why shifting hormones, collagen, elastin and sebum matterThe biggest mistakes Angela sees women making with skincareWhy she believes many routines contain too many activesWhat “regenerative skincare” actually meansExosomes, growth factors and human stem cell-derived skincareWhether regenerative products can replace retinol and vitamin CAngela's surprisingly minimal morning skincare routineWhy she tells many women over 40 to skip the morning cleanseHer preferred approach to sunscreen—and the SPF she personally usesWhy she recommends oil cleansing at nightThe beauty treatments and trends she thinks women should approach cautiouslyThe push toward younger facelifts—and Angela's own experience being told she needed oneWhy she thinks fillers may be falling out of favorThe danger of chasing unregulated beauty and wellness treatments abroad“Skin listening” and learning to stop comparing your face to everyone else'sWeight training, walking and the wellness habits Angela prioritizes at 54Starting her company at 45 and building it into a multimillion-dollar businessWhy she believes it's never too late to start something newI tried--and LOVED--the Angela Caglia Cell Forté Serum, which you can find here!

After nearly eight years sober, would Patrick ever drink alcohol again?It's a question a friend asked him while they were away on holiday, and his answer was immediate.In this episode, Patrick reflects on being surrounded by “holiday mode,” watching his daughter drink after turning 18, and the recent coverage of Brad Pitt returning to alcohol after seven years of sobriety.He explores how stories like Brad Pitt's can quietly cause someone to question their own sobriety. The mind can easily begin thinking: “If he can drink again, perhaps I can too.”That's why protecting your sobriety matters. Not because you need to fear alcohol, but because it's important to remember what drinking was costing you and what your life has gained since removing it.Patrick also discusses why the reasons behind your drinking can have such a significant influence on how you drink and the difference between consciously choosing alcohol and using it to escape difficult emotions.This episode invites you to consider what alcohol would genuinely add to your life, and what you believe you would be going back for.Cool topics covered:Would Patrick ever drink again?Brad Pitt's return to drinkingProtecting your sobriety from outside influencesAlcohol and 'holiday mode'Turning 18 and the expectations around drinkingWhy comparing yourself with other drinkers can be misleadingDrinking to escape difficult emotionsWhy your reasons for drinking matterThe difference between fear and freedom in sobrietyContent advisory: This episode briefly references suicidal thoughts discussed during Brad Pitt's recent interview.

Do you know what kind of help your interior design business actually needs, or are you simply overwhelmed and ready to hire anyone?In this episode of the Interior Design Business Podcast, I'm joined by Evelyn McDougall and Shanna Rose of 4D Biz to talk about how interior designers can hire virtual assistants strategically and build the right support team as their businesses grow.Shanna shares how a serious accident forced her to delegate within her own interior design business, leading to hard-earned lessons about hiring, training, and creating systems. That experience ultimately helped inspire 4D Biz and its fractional support model specifically for interior designers.Together, we discuss why hiring one person to do everything rarely works, how to identify the tasks and specialties you actually need help with, and why fractional support can be especially valuable in a project-based industry with natural ebbs and flows. We also explore three key areas of virtual support, design, administration, and marketing, and how designers can determine where delegation will create the greatest relief.If you're overwhelmed by procurement, drafting, project management, marketing, or simply trying to do everything yourself, this episode will help you think differently about hiring and build support that makes your business more sustainable, profitable, and enjoyable.In this episode, we cover:How to know when you're ready for a VAWhy hiring one person to do everything doesn't workThe difference between employees, freelancers, and fractional supportWhy systems and documented processes matterThe three specialties of virtual supportDelegating procurement, drafting, and administrative workMatching the right specialist to the right roleManaging the ebbs and flows of a project-based businessControlling profitability when adding team supportHow to identify the best tasks to delegate firstShow notes are available at interiordesignbusinessacademy.comFollow us on Facebook: facebook.com/InteriorDesignBusinessAcademyFollow us on Instagram: instagram.com/interiordesignbusinessacademy

John shares how his own journey from skeptical engineer to follower of Christ began while his father was dying of cancer, and how years of interviewing people from every continent have only strengthened his confidence in the God revealed throughout Scripture.Together, they discuss the remarkable consistency found in near-death experiences across cultures and religions, why these accounts continue to point people toward Jesus, and how a biblical understanding of heaven can transform the way we live today. If you've ever wrestled with grief, questioned what happens after death, or wondered whether God is still pursuing those who seem far from Him, this conversation offers thoughtful insight and lasting hope.Meet John BurkeJohn is the founder and former lead pastor of Gateway Church in Austin, Texas, a multisite church that has grown to more than 4,500 people since its launch in 1998. He is also the president of Gateway Leadership Initiative, equipping church planters and everyday Christians to “raise the church out of the culture.” John is a New York Times bestselling author of Imagine Heaven and has written several influential books, including No Perfect People Allowed, Soul Revolution, and his newest work, Imagine the God of Heaven. He is passionate about helping people discover the real God revealed through Scripture and confirmed through thousands of NDEs. His story is a powerful example of curiosity transformed into calling.Connect with John - Website | InstagramIn This Episode, You'll LearnWhat near-death experiences really are—and why they matterThe surprising commonalities people report across countries, cultures, and faith backgroundsHow NDEs align with what Scripture teaches about heaven, God, and life after deathWhy John believes God continues pursuing people with grace until their very last momentsWhat convinced him that these experiences cannot be explained by drugs, dreams, or hallucinationsWhat people consistently describe about encountering Jesus, God's love, and heavenHow This Episode Will Encourage YouIf you've ever feared death, grieved someone you love, questioned God's goodness, or wondered whether heaven is truly real, this conversation will remind you that our hope in Christ is grounded in something far greater than wishful thinking. You'll walk away with fresh confidence in God's relentless love, renewed hope for eternity, and encouragement to live today with an eternal perspective.Personal and Powerful Bible Study - Explores how God shows up in our lives in ways that are both deeply personal and undeniably powerful.Follow Willow: Website | Instagram | Facebook

When we talk about preventing youth substance use, it is easy for the conversation to focus on what is going wrong. But what if most young people are already making healthy choices, and part of our prevention strategy is making sure they know that?In this episode of the Common Good Data Podcast, Roger Suclupe and I talk with Libby Ray about positive social norms campaigns and their potential role in preventing youth alcohol use and vaping.Positive social norms campaigns address an important challenge: young people and adults can significantly overestimate how common substance use actually is. When “everybody is doing it” becomes the perceived norm, that perception can influence expectations and behavior. A positive social norms approach uses credible local data to correct those misperceptions and reinforce the healthy choices that most young people are already making.Our conversation covers:Current concerns around youth vaping and alcohol useWhat a positive social norms campaign is and how it differs from traditional prevention messagingWhy perceptions about peer behavior matterThe importance of using credible local data to develop campaign messagesHow focus groups helped bring youth voice into the campaignWhat young people taught the team about imagery, messaging, and authenticityHow the campaign is reaching youth through digital advertising, schools, community partners, posters, banners, and even stickersWhat Libby and her team are hearing now that the campaign is underwayOne of my favorite ideas from the conversation is that hope and concern can live side by side. We can acknowledge serious concerns about youth substance use while also recognizing that the vast majority of young people are making healthy choices.And, because we are talking about campaigns and messaging, we finish with a trip back to some memorable advertising from the 1980s and 1990s.If you work in substance use prevention, public health, youth development, or community-based prevention, this conversation offers a practical example of how data, youth voice, and thoughtful messaging can come together in a real-world campaign.The Common Good Data Podcast explores how data, strategy, and evaluation can help social sector organizations improve outcomes and strengthen their impact.

Hunters for the Hungry: Turning Virginia's Deer Harvest Into Meals for Families in NeedGary Arrington of Hunters for the Hungry returns to the Green Top Outdoors Podcast to talk about the incredible impact Virginia hunters are making in communities across the Commonwealth.Joined by Hunter Brooks and Todd Sadler, Gary shares how Hunters for the Hungry takes donated deer and turns that valuable source of protein into meals for men, women, children, veterans, and families facing food insecurity.Last year was another phenomenal year for the organization, with more than 205,000 pounds of venison donated and processed, providing more than 820,000 quarter-pound servings. Since 1991, Hunters for the Hungry has distributed more than 8.3 million pounds of venison, representing over 33.4 million quarter-pound servings throughout Virginia.But keeping the program moving takes more than donated deer. As Gary explains, Hunters for the Hungry needs both “deer and dollars.” Processing costs continue to rise, and the organization is also facing a shortage of participating deer processors. At the same time, demand from food banks, church pantries, feeding programs, and other organizations continues to grow.Gary also discusses new ways Hunters for the Hungry is putting donated venison to work, including shelf-stable venison chili, stew, soup, and spaghetti sauce. These products can reach families and feeding programs that may have limited freezer or refrigeration capacity.In this episode, you'll hear about:How donated deer become meals for Virginians in needWhy deer processors are the program's “unsung heroes”Rising processing costs and why financial donations matterThe need for additional processors and volunteersHunters for the Hungry's statewide impactNew canned venison initiativesHow hunters can donate while purchasing a Virginia hunting licenseThe importance of hunters serving their local communitiesThe Hunters for the Hungry Sporting Clays Benefit ShootHow just $1 can help provide three quarter-pound servingsGary also talks about the future of Hunters for the Hungry and the need to find passionate people who can help carry the organization's mission forward.Whether you donate a deer, contribute a few dollars, volunteer your time, help spread the word, or support a Hunters for the Hungry event, every contribution can make an impact.Learn more about Hunters for the Hungry, find donation information, locate participating processors, and discover ways to support the program at h4hungry.org.Hunting, fishing, and everything outdoors.

Why “Normal” Isn't Always Optimal with Dr. Keith Nichols In Part 1 of this three-part series, Dr. Keith Nichols, Medical Director and CEO of Tier 1 Health & Wellness, deep dives into one of the most misunderstood topics in men's health: testosterone.Dr. Nichols breaks down why testosterone levels have declined over time, how lab reference ranges have shifted, and why many men are told their numbers are “normal” even when they are experiencing symptoms consistent with testosterone deficiency.Dr. Nichols discuss the difference between population-based reference ranges and individual physiology, the importance of free testosterone, the role of SHBG, and why a single lab value should not be the only factor used to determine whether a man is healthy, optimized, or appropriately treated.This episode is about challenging dogma, questioning outdated assumptions, and returning to the evidence.Topics discussed in this episode include:Testosterone levels declining across generationsWhy lab reference ranges have shifted lower over timeThe problem with using one universal testosterone thresholdTotal testosterone vs. free testosteroneHow SHBG affects testosterone availabilityWhy “normal” does not always mean optimalWhy symptoms, history, and clinical context matterThe limitations of current testosterone guidelinesWhy men may be undertreated despite feeling symptomaticThis is Part 1 of a 3-part series: Testosterone: Beliefs vs. Science.Connect with Victory Men's Health:Website: https://www.victorymenshealth.com/Podcast: https://www.victorymenshealth.com/podcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/victorymenshealth/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/victorymenshealthAmy Stuttle Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amystuttle/Connect with Dr. Keith Nichols and Tier 1 Health & Wellness:Tier 1 Health & Wellness: https://tier1hw.com/Dr. Keith Nichols Bio: https://tier1hw.com/personnel/keith-nichols/Tier 1 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/tier1healthandwellnessTier 1 Health & Wellness Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/tier-1-health-and-wellness-podcast/id1724352005Disclaimer:This podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended to provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Send us Fan MailEphesians 5: Wives, Submission, and the Problem of Reading the Bible Too LiterallyOne of the most debated—and most weaponized—chapters in the New Testament is Ephesians 5."Wives, submit to your husbands..."For centuries, those few words have been used to justify unhealthy marriages, reinforce patriarchal power structures, and silence women. But is that actually what the author intended?In this episode, Mark and Jeanne step beneath the surface of the text to explore its historical world, its literary context, and the surprising ways the earliest Christians actually read Scripture.Rather than treating Ephesians as a timeless rulebook, they ask a deeper question:What happens when we read this passage the way its first readers would have?In This EpisodeWhy most critical Bible scholars do not believe Paul wrote EphesiansWhat "Deutero-Pauline" letters are—and why they matterThe difference between evangelical and historical-critical approaches to ScriptureHow ancient Christians learned to read the Bible through allegory rather than literalismWhy Origen believed difficult passages were invitations to look deeperHow Greek philosophy shaped Christian ideas of biblical inspirationAristotle's household code and why Ephesians is responding to itWhy "submit to one another" changes everythingThe Greek word hypotassō and what it actually meansWhy the command to husbands receives far more attention than the command to wivesHow Ephesians simultaneously reflects its ancient culture while moving beyond itWhy this passage is actually more progressive than many people realizeWhat healthy leadership and mutual self-sacrifice look like in modern relationshipsWhy Scripture is best understood as a living tradition rather than a frozen instruction manualBooks MentionedHarperCollins Study BibleOne of the best English-language study Bibles from a historical-critical perspective, with extensive notes, historical context, and references beyond the biblical canon.Sarah Ruden — Paul Among the PeopleAn accessible exploration of Paul within the Greco-Roman world that helps readers understand controversial passages on women, slavery, and culture.N.

Over the last few years, you've probably heard the term food noise everywhere.But while the name may be new, the experience isn't.For years, women have struggled with cravings, emotional eating, constant thoughts about food, and feeling like they're lacking willpower. In this episode, Janell explores why food noise may not actually be about food at all.You'll learn how under-fueling, blood sugar imbalances, nervous system dysregulation, stress, sleep, highly processed foods, and emotional patterns can all contribute to what we call food noise—and why understanding the message behind the symptom is often more powerful than trying to silence it.Instead of asking, "How do I stop thinking about food?" Janell invites you to ask a different question:"What might my body be trying to tell me?"If you've ever felt stuck in a cycle of cravings or emotional eating, this episode will help you approach your body with more curiosity, compassion, and understanding.In This EpisodeWhat food noise actually isPhysical hunger vs. psychological hungerWhy under-eating often increases cravingsThe connection between blood sugar and food thoughtsHow the nervous system influences emotional eatingWhy sleep and circadian rhythm matterThe role of hyper-palatable foodsA balanced conversation about GLP-1 medicationsWhy food noise is information—not failureResources Mentioned

Participants from the Institute report a high level of success in changing mental health in their schools. The in person Institute is July 13-14 and the virtual Institute is July 15-16.--This episode explores the mental health skills schools never taught us and why so many young people are struggling because of it.From academic pressure and anxiety to relationships, identity, burnout, and emotional regulation, we talk about the growing need for mental health education in schools and how early conversations can change lives.In this episode of Normalize The Conversation, I sit down with Ross Szabo, a mental health advocate, educator, and founding faculty member at Geffen Academy at UCLA. Ross shares how his own struggles with depression, self-hatred, and a suicide attempt in high school led him to dedicate his life to changing the way schools approach mental health.Together, we discuss:Why students are overwhelmed and emotionally exhaustedThe pressure teens face around grades, college, and successHow schools can normalize mental health conversationsWhy coping skills and emotional education matterThe role teachers play in helping students feel seenHealthy relationships, communication, and boundariesHow connection and community protect mental healthThe difference between prevention and crisis interventionWe also explore how schools can integrate mental health into everyday learning without turning classrooms into therapy sessions. Ross explains how simple shifts — like teaching emotional awareness, communication skills, and self-check-ins — can help students feel less alone and more prepared for real life.This conversation is for students, parents, teachers, young adults, and anyone who has ever thought: “Why did no one teach me how to navigate this?”If you've ever struggled with anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or feeling overwhelmed by life transitions, this episode will remind you that emotional skills are just as important as academic success.If this episode resonates with you, share it with someone who needed these conversations growing up or someone helping build them now.

Some kids are picky eaters, but when does it become something more?Feeding challenges can feel overwhelming for families, especially when mealtimes become stressful, food choices become extremely limited, or concerns about nutrition start to grow. That's why I was excited to welcome feeding specialist Margaryta Kuzmin to the podcast. Together, we unpacked the difference between typical picky eating and pediatric feeding disorders, and why early support can make such a meaningful difference.Margaryta shares the developmental reasons many children go through selective eating phases, along with important red flags that may signal a deeper concern. We also explore why feeding difficulties are rarely about food alone. Medical, nutritional, motor, sensory, and social factors can all play a role. I especially loved our discussion about how providers can approach these conversations with families in a supportive, compassionate way.Whether you're a speech-language pathologist, BCBA, educator, or parent, this conversation highlights the power of collaboration and why feeding concerns deserve attention early on.#autism #speechtherapyWhat's Inside:The difference between picky eating and pediatric feeding disordersCommon feeding red flags that professionals and parents should watch forWhy medical, nutritional, sensory, and motor factors all matterThe professionals who make up a strong feeding team and how they work togetherMentioned In This Episode:Feeding MattersKuzmin SLPMargaryta Kuzmin on InstagramEarn CEUs with a community of peers.

Robinhood just launched agentic trading -- an AI that can execute stock trades and purchases on your behalf using criteria you set in advance. There's also a new agentic credit card that can shop for you automatically. Joe and Anna dig into why handing execution over to a machine is fundamentally different from using AI as a thinking partner -- and why the people most excited about AI agents for their money are often the same people who would never trust a human advisor with it.What You'll Walk Away WithWhy the psychology of trusting AI with money while distrusting human advisors doesn't hold up -- and what's actually driving itThe difference between using AI to expand your thinking and using it to execute decisions -- and why only one of those is dangerousHow AI agents eliminate the friction that protects you from your own worst financial impulses -- and why that's exactly how consumer debt gets worseJoe's four-question framework for knowing when an AI agent is actually helping versus when it's just automating overspendingWhy Doug's experience building computer systems made him more skeptical of AI agents, not less -- and what changedThe debt sequencer framework from OG and Anna: how to rank every debt by interest rate, add an honest emotional layer, and decide where the next dollar actually goesWhy the debt snowball versus avalanche debate has a cleaner answer than most people think -- and when the math genuinely doesn't matterThe one thing that happens to almost every client's bonus money if they don't have a pre-decided allocation plan -- and how to fix it before the money arrivesWhy paying off a 3% mortgage might be the right call even when the spreadsheet says it isn't -- and the taxes-and-insurance math that makes the house payment conversation more complicated than it looksWhy the Stacking Benjamins guides now have an AI component that only draws from the guide itself -- and why it tells you when it doesn't know somethingWhy This Matters NowEvery time a company makes it easier to spend or trade without thinking, it's not because they want you to make better decisions. Understanding where AI genuinely helps -- thinking, organizing, comparing -- versus where it hurts -- executing, spending, trading -- is one of the most important financial literacy questions of the next decade.From the BasementJoe and Anna dig into Robinhood's new agentic trading and credit card features and work out where the line between useful and dangerous actually sits. OG and Anna follow with the debt sequencer -- a framework for ranking every debt you have and deciding where the next dollar goes, with room for both math and emotion. Doug arrives with kite-flying trivia that connects to one of the most famous names in American history. Anna is back without OG, which Doug predicts will produce the highest ratings in show history.Resources MentionedCNBC -- "Your AI agent can now trade for you on Robinhood and buy stuff with your credit card, too"; linked at stackingbenjamins.comThe College Investor with Robert Farrington -- referenced for prior deep dive on AI financial advice accuracyStacking Benjamins Guides -- college planning, tax planning, and HR benefits guides with new AI component; stackingbenjamins.com/guidesStacking Benjamins Basics Guide -- season one and season two workbooks free at stackingbenjamins.com/basicsguideStacking Benjamins Scorecard -- stackingbenjamins.com/scorecardStacking Benjamins Newsletter (The 201) -- stackingbenjamins.com/201Field Kit Finance -- fieldkitfinance.comStacking Benjamins BAD Groups -- stackingbenjamins.com/badStacking Benjamins Community -- stackingbenjamins.com/basementSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

After facing cancer and surviving a massive “widow maker” heart attack, he began reading the Bible seriously for the first time. As someone trained as a lawyer, Matthew approached Scripture through investigation, evidence, and comparison—reading across multiple Bible translations and Christian traditions.The conversation explores Matthew's path from skepticism to faith, including how books like The Case for Christ and Evidence That Demands a Verdict helped him examine whether Christianity is true. Matthew explains why he believes Christians must be grounded not only in the goodness of Christianity, but in the truth of Christianity.TS and Matthew also discuss Matthew's book, Canon Crossfire, which addresses questions surrounding the Old Testament canon, the differences between Protestant, Catholic, Orthodox, Ethiopian, and other biblical traditions, and why simplistic answers about the canon can create problems when examined historically.A major theme of the episode is the importance of honest investigation. Matthew encourages believers, students, pastors, and scholars to look carefully at the evidence, especially when discussing disputed books such as 2 Maccabees and the broader historical development of the Bible.In This EpisodeTS and Matthew discuss:Matthew's personal testimony and health crisisHow reading the Bible changed his lifeWhy Christianity's truth claims matterThe role of apologetics in strengthening faithThe historical complexity of the biblical canonDifferences among Protestant, Catholic, Orthodox, Ethiopian, and Syriac canonsAthanasius and the early recognition of the New Testament writingsWhy Christians should avoid shallow answers when defending ScriptureMatthew's book Canon CrossfireWhere listeners can find Matthew's workGuest ResourceLearn more about Matthew Mark McWhorter and his book at:CanonCrossfire.comMatthew also mentions that his book is available in multiple formats, including print, ebook, audiobook, large print, and free copies for seminarians.Mentioned in this episode:TUVU - God Centered Concept Academy

She was 12 hours into labor when a nurse walked in carrying a tablet - and a judge appeared on the screen to decide what would happen to her body.This isn't a social media horror story. This happened in Florida, in 2026, to a woman who was not only informed - she was a doula. She had a prior C-section complicated by a dangerous hemorrhage. Refusing another surgery wasn't a whim. It was a medical decision she had every right to make.And a judge overruled her anyway.In this episode, we're getting into all of it: what your rights actually are, where they get murky, and the three things I want you to do before you ever go into labor - because when you're in labor, your job is to labor.In this episode:What actually happened in Florida - and why the details matterThe difference between informed refusal and an unsafe one (these are not the same thing)Why "rights on paper" and what happens at 3 AM in a hospital room aren't always the sameWhy I call it a birth map, not a birth plan - and why this story is why I prefer a map over a planThe three things to do before labor Why the advocacy piece is non-negotiable, especially for Black women, who are far more likely to have their pain, rights, and refusals dismissedThe one question that is one of the most powerful things you can say in a hospital roomThis episode is not about walking in braced for a fight. It's about walking in prepared, calm, confident, and educated.Resources mentioned:Calm and Confident Birth Course & Birth Bundle - understand your rights, your body, and your options before you walk inFlorida needs to change those laws.

If you've ever stared at a shrinking salmon season and wondered who decides this stuff—and why—this episode is for you. Jamie sits down with Gabe Miller, longtime fishing buyer and 14-year member of the Puget Sound Sport Fishing Advisory Group, to pull back the curtain on North of Falcon, the models behind your seasons, and the one 30-second habit that could actually help. You'll walk away understanding the system better than 99% of anglers out there.Episode Overview:How North of Falcon, the feds, the tribes, and Canada all have to line up before your inside seasons get setWhy the $3 billion economic value of WA sport fishing keeps getting ignoredWhat VTRs are and how filling them out honestly protects future seasonsWhy "don't tell the fish checker anything" is quietly hurting all of usHow the advisory group really works—and why those hallway relationships matterThe real bottleneck in the whole season-setting process (it's not what you'd think)Timestamps: 00:00 – Meet Gabe Miller & his PNW fishing background 00:02 – The serendipitous path to becoming a fishing buyer 00:05 – The $3 billion sport fishing economy nobody credits 00:11 – How losing steelhead opportunity pulled him into advocacy 00:12 – ESA, Hood Canal & how salmon stocks get managed 00:18 – Getting involved: joining the advisory group 00:24 – What VTRs are and why they matter 00:29 – The 30-second habit that protects your season 00:31 – Inside the Puget Sound Sport Fishing Advisory Group 00:38 – How the North of Falcon process actually works 00:41 – The real bottleneck: timing 00:44 – Gabe's epic fishing story with his sonKey Takeaways:WA sport fishing drives $3 billion, 17,000 jobs, and $275M in tax revenue—and rarely gets credit for it.Telling the fish checker "I caught nothing" feels clever but sabotages next year's season.Filling out a VTR honestly takes 30 seconds and genuinely helps the department manage seasons.The advisory group carries no formal weight, but the relationships built there move the needle.The biggest problem with season-setting isn't the science—it's the compressed last-minute timing.Getting involved beats complaining online every single time.Resources & Links:WDFW Fishing Regulations: https://wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/regulationsNorth of Falcon process info: https://wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/management/north-falconPacific Fishery Management Council: https://www.pcouncil.orgVTR Form https://str.wdfw-fish.us/home FREE Salmon Training: https://anglersunlimited.co/3-essential-luresJoin the Gold waitlist: https://anglersunlimited.co/goldWant the full structured learning experience?
