Podcasts about McDonough

When God entrusts us with more than we need, the question is not simply “How can we preserve it?” or “How can we grow it?” The deeper question is, “What is this surplus for?” That question moves stewardship beyond spreadsheets, tax strategies, and investment performance. It takes us into matters of the heart, family, calling, and purpose. And for many families, that is where stewardship becomes both more challenging and more meaningful. Rachel McDonough, a Certified Kingdom Advisor® (CKA®), Certified Financial Planner (CFP®), and author of The River and the Garden: A Story of Faithfully Stewarding Surplus, joined the show today to explore how Christians can think more deeply about stewarding wealth, especially when they have been entrusted with more than they need for provision. Why Tell a Stewardship Story? Rachel has spent more than 20 years crafting financial plans. So when her publisher first suggested she write fiction about stewardship, she was surprised. After all, much of the financial world is built around practical tools, frameworks, and step-by-step guidance. But Rachel came to see that a story can reach places a spreadsheet cannot. That matters because real families do not fit neatly into formulas. They bring different perspectives, fears, desires, wounds, and hopes to the table. And when money is involved, especially significant money, those relational dynamics often come to the surface. That is part of what makes The River and the Garden unique. It is not a technical manual. It is a parable about wealth, family, faith, and the purposes of God. The River, the Garden, and the Craig Family The novel follows three generations of the Craig family. Maddie, the grandmother and matriarch, has come into a surplus after the sale of a family business. Her son Roger is analytical, driven, and accustomed to solving problems through strategy and optimization. Willow, Maddie's granddaughter, is a young artist who wants little to do with money, numbers, or spreadsheets. Together, they begin a journey that takes them through overlooked neighborhoods in Dallas and even to Rwanda as they explore investment and giving opportunities. Along the way, they wrestle with a central question: What does it look like to steward a surplus faithfully? The imagery of the book is simple but powerful. The river represents capital. The garden represents what we choose to water, cultivate, and grow. That image reframes the way we think about money. Capital is not neutral. It does not merely sit still in an account. It flows somewhere. It waters something. And the faithful steward must ask whether those resources are flowing toward purposes that honor God and serve others. When Capital Becomes Stagnant One of the most striking scenes in the book comes through one of Willow's dreams. In it, she sees dark, stagnant pools of water—a picture of capital left unattended. Rachel says that the image should unsettle thoughtful Christians for at least two reasons. First, capital never truly stands still. We may think of it as simply “sitting” in an investment account, but it is always connected to something. It may be funding businesses, industries, practices, or systems that either contribute to human flourishing or diminish it. Second, surplus wealth needs a purpose. Investing for provision is good and right. Families should plan wisely, save diligently, and seek to provide for their needs. But when a family has more than enough for provision, the conversation should expand. What is the surplus for? Rachel describes surplus as “fuel”—an accelerant for the vision and calling God has placed before a family. That does not mean being careless or impulsive. It means prayerfully assigning purpose to resources rather than allowing them to drift without intention. Provision, Impact, and Prayerful Tension Rachel shared that she and her husband have wrestled personally with this tension between provision and impact. In some cases, they have chosen to invest a portion of their non-retirement savings in redemptive businesses that seek to address serious needs, including a company working toward cancer treatment that could serve not only affluent patients but also people in the Global South. Those choices were not haphazard. They were made through prayer, analysis, planning, and mutual agreement as husband and wife. That is an important distinction. Faithful stewardship is not the same as recklessness. Trusting God does not mean ignoring wisdom. Rather, it means recognizing that the resources God entrusts to us may have purposes beyond our own security. A Book for Those Asking, “What Is This For?” Rachel says The River and the Garden is especially for those who have been entrusted with more than they need and are asking what faithful stewardship looks like now. That may include someone who has received an inheritance, sold a business, accumulated significant assets, or reached a point where the resources exceed what is needed for ordinary provision. For those families, new opportunities may open up in both giving and investing. Many people are familiar with stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and traditional charitable giving. But when surplus is truly available, there may be opportunities to support redemptive businesses, private investments, community development, global work, or other efforts that are not always on a family's radar. Surplus wealth can easily become a source of pride, fear, or conflict. But rightly understood, it can become a tool for joining in the good work God is doing in the world. Aligning Head and Heart At the emotional center of the story is the relationship between Roger and Willow. Roger represents technical mastery. He is confident in spreadsheets, strategies, and optimization. Willow represents relational insight and imagination. She sees the human cost of wealth and longs for transformation, but she initially wants nothing to do with financial conversations. Their journey shows the importance of bringing head and heart together. Faithful stewardship requires wisdom, planning, and diligence. But it also requires love, humility, discernment, and imagination. If we only optimize, we may miss the people and purposes God is inviting us to see. If we only dream, we may neglect the responsibility that comes with stewardship. Near the end of the story, Maddie reflects on the windfall that came from the sale of the business her husband built. She recognizes that the family may have worked too hard and sacrificed too much along the way. She cannot recover the time that was lost, but she can still ask that the money count for something. Many families cannot rewrite the past. They cannot undo every sacrifice, repair every regret, or reclaim every missed moment. But by God's grace, they can still ask what faithfulness looks like today. On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions: I'm 65 and have an annuity worth about $28,000. I'm considering taking monthly withdrawals from it. Is that a wise option? I've been a member of my church for 10 years and have always tithed from my salary. Lately, I'm struggling with some of the church's spending decisions, including music-related purchases and the shift in support from a women's shelter to library reading programs. How should I think about continuing to tithe when I disagree with how some of the money is being used?

They discuss the announced matches, what WWE may be setting up coming out of the show, and how this could shape the road to SummerSlam.Then Nick and Myron dive into Club WWE and ask the question a lot of fans are probably asking:Is it actually worth $99 per year?What are fans really getting for that price? Is this a strong value for collectors and diehard fans, or just another way for WWE to monetize its most loyal audience?The conversation then shifts to MyAEW.com as AEW continues expanding the platform by adding more independent and international wrestling promotions. The guys discuss why this could benefit both AEW and the promotions involved, and whether MyAEW is quietly becoming a larger wrestling hub.This week's recap includes:1FW in Gainesville, GA from Friday, July 10th1FW in LaGrange, GA from Saturday, July 11thWrestleMerica in Forsyth, GAPro Wrestling Domination in Ranburne, ALKraken Pro Wrestling in Tifton, GA from Sunday, July 12thThe guys also preview one of Georgia wrestling's biggest weekends of the year, headlined by 1FW Summer Stage 2 on Friday, July 17th in Atlanta.1FW Summer Stage 2Brady Pierce vs. Carlie Bravo vs. QT Marshall for the 1FW Heavyweight ChampionshipVIP meet and greetsA loaded card from top to bottomAlso on Friday, July 17th:New Legacy Pro in Franklin, GASCA in Royston, GASaturday, July 18th:Southern Fried Championship Wrestling returns to Monroe, GA coming off ShindigThe Apex in Augusta, GASunday, July 19th:1FW TV Taping in McDonough, GA with fallout from Summer Stage 2The Blood and Honey Series in Atlanta, GAMonday, July 20th:1FW in Watkinsville, GA

Rachel McDonough grew up in Kenya as the daughter of missionaries, where she saw both deep poverty and the faith of parents who trusted God enough to follow His call across the world. Those early experiences planted a lasting conviction that every resource we hold belongs to God and can be used to bring life, freedom, and hope to others. After nearly two decades in wealth management, Rachel began asking a deeper question: what story is our capital telling? In this conversation, Rachel shares how God led her to build Wealth Squared, a firm that helps families align their investments, giving, and financial plans with biblical values. She explains how impact investing can direct capital toward businesses that promote human flourishing, and discusses themes from her new book, The River and the Garden, which uses story to explore stewardship, family unity, and Kingdom impact. This episode offers a hopeful vision for using wealth as a tool to cultivate lasting fruit for God's Kingdom, and invites you to consider where He may be calling your resources to grow. Major Topics Include: Hearing and following God's call Stewarding wealth as entrusted capital Investing as a moral and spiritual act Aligning portfolios with biblical values Distinguishing provision from impact assets Discovering your unique Kingdom DNA Using impact investing for human flourishing Building family unity around stewardship Integrating head, heart, and Spirit Finishing faithfully with resources God provides QUOTES TO REMEMBER “Capital tells a story.” “Even though I'm a small human with finite resources and a limited lifespan and limited dollars in the bank account, God can take something small, and if it's surrendered to Him, He can do something way bigger than any of us could ever ask or imagine.” “There is both an opportunity and a responsibility of being a Christ follower who is holding on to the resources that God owns and has entrusted.” “Some businesses create goods and services that help human flourishing, and others create bads and disservices.” “Fruitfulness comes from obeying what God shows you to do, not from having the right strategy.” “There are some biblical principles that are universally true, but there are also unique pieces of Kingdom DNA wired into the heart of each person.” “Once I know how much is enough for provision, I get freedom to ask what the purpose of the remaining assets should be.” “The faithful finisher asks, ‘Lord, what else? I'm not dead yet.'” “We need to let our heads and hearts work together more in harmony and be led by the Spirit.” “Real unity is hard work, but it is deep and worthy work.” “I want to be Jonathan's armor bearer for my clients. What's in your heart to do? Let's go take that hill.” “Faith-driven investing and impact investing right now is the revival that God has released on the earth.” “Find a financial advisor who wants to help you hear and follow God's voice.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW Rachel McDonough and Wes Lyons on How Investors Are Taking Down Human Trafficking (see our past interview here) The River and the Garden by Rachel McDonough Wealth Squared Kingdom Advisors (see our interview with founder, Ron Blue) Eagle Freedom Fund (see out interview with cofounder Wes Lyons) Talanton Caleb Breakey, Founder of Renown Publishing (see our past interview here) BIBLE REFERENCES FROM THE SHOW John 15:5 | Abiding Bears Fruit “I am the vine; you are the branches.

This week, we've gone a little bit off-piste from interiors as I sit down to chat to Kiki McDonough. A favourite jeweller to the royals (with Queen Camilla and the Princess of Wales regularly seen wearing her pieces), she has now worked in the industry for over 40 years. Sitting at the helm of a much-loved, globally-renowned brand, the fifth generation jeweller is renowned for her pioneering use of coloured gemstones. One of the first women to make a name for herself in the British, luxury jewellery world, Kiki has built a well-respected business on her own with the support of a great team, while juggling two sons, multiple patronages and a social life that would tire most 20-somethings. We talk about running a business and the very exciting news that she has just gained a royal warrant.

In this episode of the Woodpreneur Podcast, host Jennifer Alger sits down with three team members from Edmund Allen Lumber out of Illinois: Nick Morrison, Sales Manager; Brian Studebaker, Millwork Manager; and Brandon Romine, Marketing Director. Together they reveal how a 129-year-old cedar and Douglas fir wholesaler has evolved into a full-service custom millwork operation that regularly takes on projects nobody else will touch. The company serves a dealer network of roughly 450 customers across Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Indiana, sourcing the bulk of its Western Red Cedar from Canadian mills and manufacturing everything else in-house. Brian walks through the millwork department's capabilities, from a 54-inch McDonough resaw and six-headed molder to a CNC that lets them replicate any historical molding profile. Brandon explains how he moved from sales into marketing and rebuilt the company's web and Instagram presence to solve a recurring problem: customers kept saying, "I didn't know you did that." The standout story is a clock tower restoration in Madison, Wisconsin. Lightning struck the tower, and the team had to replicate nine or ten unique molding profiles, fabricate stack-laminated corbels, and get everything hoisted by crane a hundred feet in the air while watching pieces swing in the wind. It captures exactly what Edmund Allen Lumber does best: the work nobody else wants to figure out. The conversation also covers the custom design process from architect sketch to final CAD, the economics of quoting without charging design fees, tariffs pushing cedar costs up as much as 45 percent, and the shift from new single-family construction toward remodels and multifamily. The team's message is simple: if you can dream it, they can probably make it.

Hidden in your water, food, and even your blood, forever chemicals (PFAS) are nearly impossible to destroy - and now U.S. regulations are being rolled back. Listen in to how PFAS became unavoidable, what they're doing to our health, and whether we can ever truly get rid of them.   In this episode, Therese Markow and Dr. Carrie McDonough discuss perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also known as forever chemicals. PFAS, which include PFOA and PFOS, are persistent organic pollutants used in various products, such as Teflon for your cooking pans and Scotchgard. While there are natural molecules that incorporate fluorine, the compounds we are most concerned about when we talk about PFAS cannot be synthesized naturally and are difficult to break down. Dr. McDonough discusses exposure risks, how we are exposed, and the efforts that have been made to regulate these chemicals. She emphasizes the need for better detection methods and remediation strategies.     Key Takeaways: While some PFAS are excreted from the human body, many are not and linger in our blood and cells. A lot of pollutants accumulate in the adipose fat in the human body. However, PFAS are mostly found in proteins and membranes, such as the kidney, liver, and blood.  The first clue that PFAS were widespread in humans was back in the 1970s. However, the results were inconclusive - they just didn't have the instrumentation they needed to confirm it or the standards from the companies in order to identify the PFAS. Biomagnification causes creatures, including humans, that are higher up the food chain to have higher concentrations of PFAS than those lower in the food chain. This includes those who are herbivores, omnivores, and carnivores.  Companies have been putting these things out into our environment for decades; for some amount of that time, they knew that they were doing it and that they were toxic, but didn't tell anyone. There is really no way to protect anyone from these chemicals that we did not consent to being in our bodies.    "If you're not living in an area with highly contaminated water, or some kind of large contamination issue, your main source of PFAS is probably your diet." —  Dr. Carrie McDonough   Episode References:  Toxic Gaslighting: How 3M Executives Convinced a Scientist the Forever Chemicals She Found in Human Blood Were Safe: https://www.propublica.org/article/3m-forever-chemicals-pfas-pfos-inside-story  PFAS leave fingerprints in your blood – researchers are figuring out how forever chemicals transform in your body to read these clues: https://theconversation.com/pfas-leave-fingerprints-in-your-blood-researchers-are-figuring-out-how-forever-chemicals-transform-in-your-body-to-read-these-clues-280396 Dark Waters: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9071322/  They Poisoned the World: Life and Death in the Age of Forever Chemicals by Mariah Blake: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/554198/they-poisoned-the-world-by-mariah-blake/    Connect with Dr. Carrie McDonough: Professional Bio: https://www.cmu.edu/chemistry/people/faculty/mcdonough.html  Google Scholar: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=Xq5HrPYAAAAJ&hl=en  Website: https://groups.chem.cmu.edu/mcdonough/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/carrieamcd    Connect with Therese: Website:  www.criticallyspeaking.net Bluesky: @CriticallySpeaking.bsky.social Instagram: @criticallyspeakingpodcast Email: theresemarkow@criticallyspeaking.net   Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

Jon Herold comes in Wednesday with a guest and a document to dig through. Tech investor Matthew McDonough joins to make the case that energy, not labor, is now the central lever controlling global power, framing the Strait of Hormuz blockade and the Iran conflict as moves in a larger energy dominance struggle against China. Jon then reads through the full leaked 14-point US-Iran memorandum of understanding line by line: the naval blockade lifts immediately, Iran gets its own frozen money back rather than new American cash, a $300 billion rehabilitation fund comes structured as financing rather than a gift, and Israel is conspicuously absent from the entire agreement. Trump's overnight Truth Social move gets its own breakdown: canceling Jay Clayton's DNI confirmation hearing in apparent retaliation after Democrats reneged on a FISA deal, which keeps Bill Pulte in place and ties FISA's fate to the Save America Act. Jon also shares word from a well-connected source that Tulsi Gabbard's promised 2020 election report is likely delayed past her departure, possibly surfacing around a rumored June 24 event. Gavin Newsom's lawyers sent Todd Blanche a letter calling the DOJ probe into him a fishing expedition.

On the latest Sports Media Watch Podcast, Jon Lewis is joined by co-host Armand Broady and producer Derek Futterman for a discussion about the NBA Finals ratings resurgence, the atmosphere at Madison Square Garden for the Knicks' historic Game 4 comeback, thoughts on ABC's NBA booth, and more -- including some more thoughts on ABC's Sean McDonough on the NHL, and some early thoughts on the World Cup.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

This week we are back with part two of our mammoth session with Fr Conor McDonough OP, an exceptional Research Ireland funded PhD researcher in Classics, University of Galway. Conor tells us all about the new mendicant orders in 13th century Ireland: the Dominicans, Franciscans, Carmelites and Augustinians. Conor explains that these new orders were like 'networks of mass communication' and that friars are kind of like itinerant and urban monks.

Welcome back all! This month we are joined by Fr Conor McDonough OP, an exceptional Research Ireland funded PhD researcher in Classics, University of Galway. Conor elucidates the variety of religious life in the Middle Ages focussing on the new religious orders introduced as part of wider church reforms in the 11th and 12th centuries. This episode touches on a number of big themes such as the conflict between 'church and state', colonisation, language, ethnicity, patronage, and decline. What is the difference between a monk and a priest? Why were there two Cathedrals in Dublin? Why did the Cistercians in Ireland build a 'fortress against God'? Did the Irish prefer living in 'nests' rather than stone buildings? Conor answers all of these questions and much more. We learn all about the new international networks of the Cluniacs, Cistercians, Augustinians, Premonstratensians, the Rule of Benedict, drama at Mellifont, bishops as barons, the Anglo-Norman Conquest and the appeal of religious life.

In this week's MBA Admissions podcast we began by discussing the current state of the MBA admissions season. We are continuing to see MBA programs release their final decisions. This upcoming week, USC / Marshall, CMU / Tepper, London Business School, Arizona / Carey, Georgia / Terry and Georgia Tech / Scheller are releasing final decisions. Graham highlighted a Fridays from the Frontline feature from a Stern student discussing their super experience with Stern's Endless Frontier Labs program. This was then followed by a deep-dive career reports piece focused on the consulting industry for MBA graduates. Graham also noted a new admissions tip which focuses on classes that might be worth considering before starting an MBA. Graham continued with the Real Humans Alumni series. This week focuses on three alumni: McCombs / Pepsi, IESE / Accenture and Owen / Bain. For this week, for the candidate profile review portion of the show, Alex selected two ApplyWire entries and one DecisionWire entry. This week's first MBA admissions candidate is from India, and works at Bain.  They also have links to family firm focused on pharmaceuticals. They have a 337 GRE score. This week's second MBA applicant is a veteran who has a 715 GMAT score and a 3.76 GPA from an Ivy League university. This week's final MBA candidate is deciding between McDonough and Anderson. This episode was recorded in Paris, France and Cornwall, England. It was produced and engineered by the fabulous Dennis Crowley in Philadelphia, USA. Thanks to all of you who've been joining us and please remember to rate and review this show wherever you listen!

A major federal court decision just changed how VA must apply Special Monthly Compensation. In this episode, CCK Law partner Brad Hennings discusses Barry v. McDonough, in which the Federal Circuit made clear that VA cannot automatically limit veterans to a single intermediate SMC rate increase. For veterans with multiple severe service-connected disabilities, this could mean higher monthly compensation or even retroactive benefits. To whom does this apply? When should you take a closer look at your rating? And what types of SMC fact patterns are most affected?

Rick McDonough of Typestries (Long Beach Island, NJ) joins Bryant and Michael for a long-overdue conversation about three decades in the sign business. Rick walks through the unlikely path from a lifeguarding magazine to a college dorm sign shop, the wholesale boom that nearly broke him, and the EFI walk-out moment that made him scrap the contract and rebuild the company around work he actually wanted to do. They get into why AI has Rick more energized than he's been in years, from the food truck cop who designed his entire wrap in ChatGPT, to the Claude-built inventory system that finally solved his missing-bin problem, to the $15K monument signs AI is now pre-selling before the client walks in the door.

Looking for daily inspiration?  Get a quote from the top leaders in the industry in your inbox every morning. Derek Williamson and Kathleen McDonough are the co-founders of Evercruiting, a recruitment technology company focused on improving hiring for service-based industries. Derek brings experience from operating and scaling multi-location businesses before leading an HR tech company as CEO, while Kathleen built her career in restaurant operations and applicant tracking systems, working with major brands and helping scale a previous company through acquisition. Together, they reunited to tackle persistent hiring challenges with a fresh perspective shaped by emerging technology and frontline realities. In this interview, Derek and Kathleen talk about recruitment technology, drawing a line in the sand with AI, and advocating for the applicant. Recruitment technology “Fundamentally, this whole hiring process has not really changed in like a hundred years. The only thing we did was we put the existing process online.” Derek highlights a core flaw in traditional hiring systems: they are often designed for HR teams rather than the frontline managers actually responsible for hiring. In industries like attractions and restaurants, these managers are busy operating the business, not sitting at a desk updating systems. Evercruiting flips that approach by building tools that meet managers where they are, especially through mobile and text-based interactions. Kathleen reinforces that everything is now filtered through the lens of the frontline user. Instead of forcing adoption, their goal is to create something managers naturally want to use because it makes their jobs easier. This shift reflects a broader rethinking of recruitment technology, focusing less on process compliance and more on usability and real-world application. Drawing a line in the sand with AI “We're not going to use AI to replace human judgment.” Derek explains that many current AI tools in hiring attempt to evaluate candidates by scoring resumes or analyzing interviews, which introduces bias and overconfidence in flawed outputs. Rather than letting AI act as the decision-maker, Evercruiting uses it to support both candidates and employers by highlighting strengths and streamlining administrative tasks. Kathleen adds that AI should handle repetitive work like scheduling and communication, freeing up humans to focus on meaningful interactions. This philosophy establishes a clear boundary: AI enhances efficiency, but people remain responsible for evaluating fit. By redefining how AI is used, they aim to improve outcomes without compromising fairness or authenticity. Advocating for the applicant “Applying for jobs is this never-ending cycle.” Derek describes the broken dynamic where easy applications lead to overwhelming volumes, prompting automation that further distances candidates from employers. This cycle creates frustration on both sides and diminishes the quality of the hiring process. Evercruiting aims to rebalance this by improving how candidates present themselves and how employers engage with them. Kathleen emphasizes that employer branding and the hiring experience play a major role in attracting and retaining talent. Candidates form impressions quickly, and a poor process can deter even strong applicants. By prioritizing transparency, communication, and ease of use, their approach advocates for candidates while still supporting business needs.   Derek and Kathleen can be reached on LinkedIn, where they actively engage in conversations about hiring and recruitment.

Letting go of control is terrifying when control has been the only thing keeping you together.That's where Beth McDonough was, using alcohol to manage what she couldn't say out loud, couldn't process, and couldn't put down. What started as a way to cope with trauma became something with a grip of its own. And working in crime reporting only made it harder to put the weight down at the end of the day.In this episode, Lyndsay Soprano sits down with Beth McDonough for one of the most honest conversations the show has had about addiction, shame, and what recovery actually looks like when you're in the middle of it. Not the cleaned-up version. The real one.This episode is for anyone who has ever used something — anything — to survive a version of themselves they didn't know how to face. Recovery is not a straight line. Beth's story is proof that it doesn't have to be.Listen now wherever you get your podcasts.Episode Highlights:(00:00) Introduction to Chronic Pain and Coping Mechanisms(02:52) The Impact of Crime Reporting on Mental Health(05:41) Personal Stories of Trauma and Coping(08:12) The Journey Through Alcoholism(11:14) The Role of Shame in Addiction(13:57) Reconstructing Life After Addiction(16:40) The Importance of Seeking Help(19:44) Empowerment Through Shared Experiences(22:30) Conclusion and Call to ActionFind Beth McDonough Online Here:Website: bethmcdmedia.comInstagram: @bemcdnFacebook: Beth McDonoughYouTube: Beth McDonoughLinkedIn: Beth McDonoughFind The Pain Game Podcast Online Here:Website: thepaingamepodcast.comInstagram: @thepaingamepodcastFacebook: The Pain Game PodcastLinkedIn: Lyndsay SopranoYouTube: The Pain Game PodcastSubscribe on YouTube | Merch Shop is OPEN!! | This Is More Than a PodcastUnfiltered convos.

In this episode of the Confident Sober Women podcast, Shelby John sits down with Beth McDonough, a former television crime reporter with more than 30 years of experience covering major news stories across the United States.Beth shares her powerful and deeply personal recovery story. She speaks openly about addiction, trauma, shame, incarceration, and the long process of rebuilding her life after losing her career and public reputation. This conversation focuses heavily on personal responsibility and what it truly takes to get sober and stay sober.Throughout the episode, Beth reflects on how unprocessed grief, career pressure, and untreated trauma contributed to her addiction. She explains how recovery required accountability, trauma-informed therapy, and ongoing commitment to healing through tools such as 12-step programs and EMDR.This episode is especially meaningful for women navigating sobriety, career loss, or major life transitions. Beth's story offers hope to anyone who feels stuck in shame or believes they have gone too far to start over. Her journey is a reminder that recovery is not about returning to who you once were, but about building a stronger and more authentic version of yourself.If you are interested in addiction recovery for women, sober living, trauma healing, and rebuilding confidence after hitting rock bottom, this episode will resonate deeply.

Joining Iain Dale on Cross Question are the Labour peer Lord Maurice Glasman, the Green Party leader in Westminster Dr Ellie Chowns, businesswoman Kiki McDonough, plus The New World's political editor James Ball.

For this episode we invite the very entertaining Jimmy McDonough to join us — all the way from Portland, Oregon — and discuss his career as "the king of the crazy biographers". Our guest explains how he moved (back) to New York from Indiana in the '80s and how he got his foot in the door at the Village Voice with a 1988 profile of country singer Gary Stewart, the subject of his new book. We then hear about the long and painful saga of his extraordinary Neil Young biography Shakey (2002) — and his singular approach to the biographical trade. Clips from Amy Linden's 1995 audio interview with Al Green give us the opportunity to ask Jimmy about his 2017 biography of the Reverend Green, after which we finally get to the 40-year gestation of I Am from the Honky Tonks and the story of his obsession with his doomed honky-tonk hero. He explains why the book felt like a mission and why Gary Stewart could and should have been a country superstar. After Mark quotes from featured writer John Morthland's review of the Monterey Pop Festival (with a namecheck for the late Country Joe McDonald) and from a 1975 interview with Tammy Wynette – another of our guest's biographical subjects — Jasper wraps things up with remarks on the Australian Folk Bitch Trio and the man who manages Yungblud (and "eats challenges for breakfast"). Many thanks to special guest Jimmy McDonough. Gary Stewart: I Am from the Honky-Tonks is published by Wolf+Salmon and available for pre-order now. Pieces discussed: Why did Neil Young try to squelch Shakey?, Gary Stewart: Honky-Tonk Puree, Gary Stewart: Out of Hand, John Morthland articles, Monterey International Pop Music Festival, Three Dog Night: Why Do The Underground Put Us Down?, Tammy Wynette, "I Eat Challenges For Breakfast": Yungblud's Manager Tommas Arnby and Folk Bitch Trio.

Visitors sometimes just drop in on us. But a visitor to a home in Georgia took the notion of “dropping in” a bit far. It smashed through the roof, an air duct, and a thick layer of insulation before splatting into the floor, leaving a crater the size of a quarter. It missed smacking into a resident by just 14 feet. The “visitor” was a meteorite – part of a much larger space rock. The rock formed a glowing streak as it raced through the skies of the southeastern United States on June 26th. Hundreds of people saw it, and many more heard it – it produced a sonic boom, plus an explosion before it hit the ground. The bit that smashed into the house was one of more than 200 samples recovered. In all, they totaled about 12 pounds. Collectively, they were called the McDonough meteorite for the small town where they hit. Eyewitness reports, videos, weather radar, and weather satellites helped scientists reconstruct the space rock’s origin. It came from the asteroid belt – a wide band of debris between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. It probably was a piece from a much larger body that broke apart 470 million years ago. Lab studies revealed the meteorite’s age: 4.56 billion years – about 20 million years older than Earth. That means it was similar to the rocky building blocks that came together to make Earth. So the McDonough meteorite is an ancient visitor that dropped in with a bang. Script by Damond Benningfield

I recently had the opportunity to sit in on a meeting with Indian Motorcycle CEO Mike Kennedy.  His career reflects a blend of operational strategy, sales network leadership, and brand stewardship in the motorcycle world. Kennedy's long tenure at Harley-Davidson, especially managing dealers and major markets, combined with executive leadership at Vance & Hines and RumbleOn, positioned him as a respected figure well suited to steer Indian Motorcycle's next chapter. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE Throughout the meeting, Kennedy emphasized the importance of balancing respect for Indian's legacy with strategic innovation. He discusses how the company plans to focus on core product areas such as cruisers, touring bikes, and heavyweight baggers—segments where Indian has traditionally been strong. Kennedy also touched on his commitment to American manufacturing and fostering strong relationships with dealers and riders alike, signaling a partnership-driven approach rather than solely corporate direction. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! Kennedy also aims to address concerns among enthusiasts about the brand's future under new ownership. He stressed that private equity backing doesn't mean abandoning the soul of Indian Motorcycle, and pledges to maintain the authenticity and rider-centric spirit that fans expect. With this blend of respect for tradition and a clear business strategy for growth, Kennedy set out a roadmap that could shape the next chapter of Indian Motorcycle's storied history.

We examine the heart of the MBA experience — the curriculum itself — at Georgetown University's McDonough School of Business. Georgetown McDonough recently announced a redesigned MBA curriculum with a strong emphasis on AI, ethical leadership, global perspective, and helping students build career momentum earlier in the program. To unpack these changes, host Graham Richmond welcomes special guest Dr. Sudipta Dasmohapatra, Professor of the Practice (Marketing and Business Analytics) and Senior Associate Dean of MBA Programs at McDonough.
