This episode sits down with renowned criminologist Dr. Eric Hickey to dissect the dark psychological drivers and predatory patterns of Roger Kibbe, the notorious "I-5 Strangler." We explore the complex interplay of power, control, sexual sadism, and paraphilic fixations that fueled his decade-long campaign along California's highways. By breaking down how serial killers select, isolate, and control their victims, we gain deep insight into the internal rationalizations and behavioral signatures that define high-risk serial offending.

Energie bleibt Energie, und der Gesprächsverlauf betont die Wechselwirkungen sowie die Notwendigkeit von Koordination unter Regierungen und privaten Akteuren. Es wird deutlich, dass private Akteure oder einzelne Staaten zu viel Macht übernehmen könnten, weshalb eine globale Abstimmung erforderlich erscheint. Für Gründer heißt das: Klima-Geschäftsideen müssen systemisch gedacht und Risiken, Nebenwirkungen sowie politische Rahmenbedingungen berücksichtigt werden.Health-Score als Workplace-AnsatzDie Idee Back Angel orientiert sich an einem Rücken-Health-Score wie Whoop, mit fünf Übungen pro Woche und einem Recovery Score. Dazu kommen konkrete Verbesserungsempfehlungen und der Vergleich mit anderen High Achievers als Motivations- und Messgröße. Die Zielgruppe soll direkt Verbraucher sein (Direct-to-Consumer), während Kaya Health eher Firmenkunden bedient; das eröffnet verschiedene Vertriebswege. Unternehmerischer Nutzen: Ein messbares Health-Produkt kann Markenbildung und Kundenbindung stärken, er braucht klare Positionierung und messbare Outcomes.Y Combinator RFU als GründungsleitfadenIm Gespräch wird deutlich, dass Y Combinator erneut einen Request for Startups veröffentlicht und damit Orientierung bietet. Als Beispiele nennen die Hosts AI for the aging population und New Operating System for the physical world, die als thematische Leitlinien dienen. Die Diskussion sieht RFU als nützliches Instrument, um Ideen zu bewerten und sich stärker auf passende Themen zu fokussieren. Im Unternehmenskontext bedeutet das: Gründer können RFU-Themen nutzen, um Markteintrittsrisiken zu reduzieren und relevante Pitch-Felder zu identifizieren.Ethik und Regulierung bei Plattform-basierter WetteEs werden Multiple Polymarket-Scams und Insider-Trading diskutiert, unter anderem Wetten auf Trump-Zeilen und Maduro-Festnahmen. Die Gespräche werfen Fragen auf, ob solche Aktivitäten legal sind und zeigen eindrücklich, wie leicht Transparenz und Regulierung unterlaufen werden könnten. Das verdeutlicht, dass Produkt- und Plattformdesign Governance-, Compliance- und Ethik-Anforderungen berücksichtigen müssen.

The sermon focuses on the transformative necessity of a dedicated, private prayer life. Drawing from a recent youth camp experience characterized by a "spiritual renaissance," the message challenges the congregation to move past cultural distractions and performance-based faith to seek a genuine, unhurried connection with God.Key Camp TeachingsErik begins by summarizing the core messages delivered during the recent youth camp, which laid the foundation for the students' spiritual breakthroughs:The Chalk Circle (Rodney Smith): A challenge to draw a metaphorical circle around oneself and pray fervently for revival to start exclusively within that circle.Discernment (Ralph Garcia): The importance of distinguishing between four distinct voices: God, the enemy, the world, and self. This is achieved through Scripture, the Holy Spirit, and wise counsel.The Power of Imagination (Travis): A call to stop surrendering the mind's eye to the enemy and instead use imagination to visualize God and cleanse the mind.Making Disciples (Robbie): A reminder that believers cannot lead others where they have not spiritually gone themselves.Student TestimoniesTo demonstrate the practical impact of these teachings, six students shared their personal breakthroughs from the camp:Ally: Overcame a strong reluctance to attend camp and experienced a profound sense of God's presence and peace during prayer.Carson: Broke free from a draining, performance-based faith and removed digital distractions (like phones) to find pure spiritual freedom.Evie: Conquered a lifelong fear of embarrassment and the judgment of others in order to fully surrender and worship openly.James: Navigated the fallout of a public mistake, a battle with pneumonia, and profound grief, ultimately finding the overwhelming presence of Jesus.Addie: Battled internal divides, anxiety, and shame by using Scripture (Philippians 4, Psalm 139) to renew her mind and silence lies.Liam: Transitioned from an inconsistent, wavering relationship with God to stepping up in leadership and finding clear spiritual direction.The Core Message: Fueling Ministry Through PrayerFollowing the testimonies, Erik grounds the message in Luke 10:38-42, using the story of Martha and Mary to illustrate the ultimate goal of prayer.The Danger of Distraction: Martha was frantic, working hard to prepare a meal for Jesus, but her busyness left her frustrated, burned out, and resentful. Erik warns against doing things for Jesus while neglecting to spend time with Jesus.The "Good Portion": Mary chose the better path by simply sitting at the feet of Jesus and listening. True spiritual peace and effectiveness come from proximity to God, not from frantic service.Motivations in Prayer: A healthy prayer life must seek the advancement of God's kingdom rather than personal glory. Erik challenges the congregation to examine if their prayers are focused on building up their own names or honoring God."No man is greater than his prayer life." — Leonard Ravenhill (Quoted by Erik Schlick)The sermon concludes with a call to action: to stop living out of anxiety or a desire for human approval, and instead adopt a posture of stillness, knowing that a public life of faith must be directly fueled by a private life of prayer.

The psyche behind the people who enabled Jeffrey Epstein was built on a toxic mix of ambition, cowardice, greed, access, and moral compartmentalization. Epstein surrounded himself with people who either wanted something from him, feared losing something because of him, or convinced themselves that the obvious ugliness around him was not their problem to confront. For some, he was a gateway to money, power, introductions, donations, jobs, private travel, elite circles, and proximity to billionaires, politicians, academics, royalty, and Wall Street operators. For others, he was simply useful, and usefulness became the excuse that swallowed every red flag. They did not need to believe he was innocent; they only needed to believe that staying close to him was more valuable than asking hard questions. That is the psychology of enablement: not always blind loyalty, but deliberate self-protection dressed up as ignorance, discretion, professionalism, or “I only handled logistics.”What made Epstein's world so durable was that every enabler could shrink their own role until it felt survivable. The banker could say he only handled accounts. The lawyer could say he only gave advice. The assistant could say she only scheduled meetings. The socialite could say she only made introductions. The institution could say compliance missed something. The powerful friend could say he barely knew him. And together, all of those little evasions created the infrastructure that allowed the abuse to continue. Epstein exploited that weakness perfectly, because he understood that elite environments often do not require people to be openly evil; they only require people to be useful, quiet, and ambitious enough to look away. The real horror is that his operation did not survive because one monster acted alone. It survived because too many people decided that their comfort, career, status, money, and access mattered more than the girls and young women being harmed right in front of them.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

In this episode, Jesus calls out the religious leaders because they aren't following the law of Moses that they seem to be so passionate about. We are reminded that it is our inward motivations that we should examine as followers of Jesus!

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.   I teach my personal narrative clients and students that their rigorous “depth of inquiry” steers them way from writing surface-level, first-available answer drafts to crafting a memorable story. What do I mean? Nice personal essays often recount the superficial events of what happened and to whom. Maturing storytellers grow their essays into unforgettable narratives by deeply exploring why what happened to them matters, probing motivations, and reflecting on how those experiences shaped their world view. For example, a nice personal essay focuses on content. Facts tell the reader what you did, the places you went, or the most obvious outcomes of an event. A memorable story focuses on context—the situation or circumstances the facts took place in. Together content plus context create meaning. Meaning reveals your underlying emotions, struggles, doubts, and the personal truths you uncovered along the way. Story listeners are drawn to meaning like filings to a magnet. Tip: To transform a nice essay into memorable story, dig deep by asking yourself 5 probing "depth of inquiry" questions: 1. What did you desire? 2. What choices did you make to get it? 3. What were the consequences of those choices? 4. Did you achieve what you desired, or fail? 5. How did the experience change you? Story Prompt: Think of a time when you were offered an unlikely opportunity. You said “Yes! Come what may!” What happened next? Write that story and share it out loud! You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!" Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, bring your friends and rellies, and join us!

Ryan Bloom grew up in a good family in Oklahoma with dreams of becoming a dentist. Life took a different turn and he built an electrical contracting business instead. When the business lost a major contract he turned to a small bank for help — and got pulled into a high interest invoice lending situation that ultimately left him owing over $2 million and forced to declare bankruptcy. Ryan thought everything he was doing was completely legitimate. Then the feds came for him. He was indicted for bank fraud — and discovered the prosecutor had a conflict of interest with the bank. He fought back. He spent almost $500,000 in attorney fees. And he beat the federal government. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, Ryan breaks down the complete story — from the business collapse to the bankruptcy to the federal indictment to the courtroom victory that cost him everything financially but gave him his freedom. _____________________________________________ #fraud #TrueCrime #arrest _____________________________________________ Connect with Ryan Bloom: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rdbloom _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction and Early Life 01:52 Family Background and Childhood 03:23 College Dreams and Choosing a Career 04:44 Joining and Growing the Family Business 05:46 Family Infighting and Company's Downfall 06:34 New Start in Oil & Gas, Launching Own Business 07:46 Launching Pathfinder HDD and Business Pivot 08:22 Business Growth and Early Successes 09:14 Winning Big Contracts and Facing Setbacks 10:19 Losing Major Contracts and Transitioning to EV 11:16 Cash Flow Issues and Getting Hustled 13:06 Switching to Riskier Clients & Financial Mistakes 14:55 Survival Strategies and Bank Loans 16:46 Entering the Bank's Business Manager Program 19:09 Struggling with Loan Terms and Shrinking Cash Flow 23:32 Business Hits a Wall and Approaching Insolvency 26:00 Personal Consequences & Potential Bankruptcy 28:29 Winding Down Operations and Filing Bankruptcy 31:06 Bankruptcy Process and Asset Liquidation 35:51 Personal Impact and Family Resilience 39:03 Navigating Bankruptcy Exemptions 41:02 Life After Bankruptcy: Rebuilding 44:41 Facing Litigation and Bank's Aggressive Tactics 46:58 Legal Uncertainty and Approaching Discharge 50:02 Arrest by FBI and Shock of Indictment 54:41 Processing the Arrest and Immediate Aftermath 59:30 Public Reaction and Family Support 01:02:44 Beginning the Legal Battle 01:05:12 Prosecution's Case Building and Strange Accusations 01:10:01 Defending Against Fraud Allegations 01:17:01 Legal Strategy and Conflict of Interest 01:21:59 Superseding Indictment and Witness Tampering 01:27:53 Bank's Insurance Claim and Motivations for Prosecution 01:32:00 Preparing for Trial and Hiring Top Defense 01:39:13 Conflict of Interest, Disqualifying the Prosecutor 01:46:07 Case Dismissal and Pre-Trial Diversion 01:50:01 Financial Ruin and Emotional Toll 01:53:02 Life Lessons, Resilience, and Moving On 02:03:40 Advice on Integrity and Closing Thoughts _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, Ryan breaks down the complete story — from the business collapse to the bankruptcy to the federal indictment to the courtroom victory that cost him everything financially but gave him his freedom. _____________________________________________ #fraud #TrueCrime #arrest _____________________________________________ Connect with Ryan Bloom: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rdbloom _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction and Early Life 01:52 Family Background and Childhood 03:23 College Dreams and Choosing a Career 04:44 Joining and Growing the Family Business 05:46 Family Infighting and Company's Downfall 06:34 New Start in Oil & Gas, Launching Own Business 07:46 Launching Pathfinder HDD and Business Pivot 08:22 Business Growth and Early Successes 09:14 Winning Big Contracts and Facing Setbacks 10:19 Losing Major Contracts and Transitioning to EV 11:16 Cash Flow Issues and Getting Hustled 13:06 Switching to Riskier Clients & Financial Mistakes 14:55 Survival Strategies and Bank Loans 16:46 Entering the Bank's Business Manager Program 19:09 Struggling with Loan Terms and Shrinking Cash Flow 23:32 Business Hits a Wall and Approaching Insolvency 26:00 Personal Consequences & Potential Bankruptcy 28:29 Winding Down Operations and Filing Bankruptcy 31:06 Bankruptcy Process and Asset Liquidation 35:51 Personal Impact and Family Resilience 39:03 Navigating Bankruptcy Exemptions 41:02 Life After Bankruptcy: Rebuilding 44:41 Facing Litigation and Bank's Aggressive Tactics 46:58 Legal Uncertainty and Approaching Discharge 50:02 Arrest by FBI and Shock of Indictment 54:41 Processing the Arrest and Immediate Aftermath 59:30 Public Reaction and Family Support 01:02:44 Beginning the Legal Battle 01:05:12 Prosecution's Case Building and Strange Accusations 01:10:01 Defending Against Fraud Allegations 01:17:01 Legal Strategy and Conflict of Interest 01:21:59 Superseding Indictment and Witness Tampering 01:27:53 Bank's Insurance Claim and Motivations for Prosecution 01:32:00 Preparing for Trial and Hiring Top Defense 01:39:13 Conflict of Interest, Disqualifying the Prosecutor 01:46:07 Case Dismissal and Pre-Trial Diversion 01:50:01 Financial Ruin and Emotional Toll 01:53:02 Life Lessons, Resilience, and Moving On 02:03:40 Advice on Integrity and Closing Thoughts _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka Learn more about your ad choices.

Thanks for watching and listening!Gordon hosted his podcast and shared insights from his recent break, discussing his participation in the July Summer Accelerator program focused on setting and achieving three goals. He outlined a three-part framework for overcoming discouragement in three key areas: mind, body, and money. For mental challenges, Gordon recommended changing thought patterns through reading, writing affirmations, and listening to positive content. For physical fitness struggles, he suggested setting specific, achievable goals and creating daily activity schedules rather than trying to regain everything at once. Regarding money concerns, Gordon advised writing down exact financial goals and identifying actionable steps to address financial challenges. He concluded by inviting listeners to join the Capitalize Your Best online community, offering a free seven-day trial followed by a monthly membership fee of $29.

In this segment, Heidi Harris covers the latest developments regarding the preliminary hearings for Tyler Robinson, the individual responsible for the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk. Harris remarks on the overwhelming amount of evidence stacked against Robinson, noting how emotionally difficult it was for Kirk's wife, Erika, to remain in the courtroom as graphic details of the shooting were introduced. Diving into the details of the case, Harris explains that the investigation uncovered a clear trail of evidence against Robinson, including personal logs and a final note that sheds light on his motivations. She points out that Robinson targeted Kirk due to his vocal advocacy for traditional family values and American exceptionalism—principles that clashed directly with Robinson's own left-leaning beliefs. Wrapping up the segment, Harris emphasizes that regardless of any fringe online conspiracies claiming the incident was staged, the reality of the crime is undeniable, and the legal process is firmly moving forward to hold the shooter accountable.

In this episode, Tim and I discuss how the walk of faith is less about understanding and more about depending. We look at the divine privilege of learning, the two major motivations in life, and the person in the room God is most trying to convince of His love. Toward the end of our conversation, Tim shares a perspective on the Garden of Eden that may reshape the way you think about your own thoughts, struggles, and mindset. Quotes for Notes:“They (children and teens) are not just looking, but they are expecting their needs to be met by their mother and father. And I think the life of faith is God teaching us to do exactly that with Him at all times.”“The only thing that Abraham could understand in that moment is that it doesn't matter what's being asked, what matters is who's asking it and that's enough.”“…the motivation for discipline has nothing to do with your child doing something right, the motivation for discipline is that you are trying to teach your child that you love them.” Links:https://the-iff.com/

Craig Gillespie's Supergirl just landed as the second film in James Gunn's DCU — and we've got a LOT of thoughts. In this episode, Sravan and Tarun break down the box office numbers (and why $172M+ budget vs a soft $68M worldwide opening is a problem), debate whether Millie Alcock was miscast or just miswritten, and dig into why the script feels like someone left half the comic book on the cutting room floor.We cover the good (those Krypton flashback sequences), the bad (an Iron Man 2-style alcoholic arc that goes nowhere), and the ugly (a sword that apparently exists for no reason). Then in the back half, we go full SPOILER mode on Ruthye's revenge plot and whether this movie even needed Supergirl to be the lead.Stick around for our fan-favorite "This or That: Worst DC Movies Edition" segment, where we rank Batman v Superman, Wonder Woman 1984, and more in a battle nobody wins.

This week on the People Centric Podcast, we talk about unhelpful motivations and the ways they can quietly shape how we work. Not every motivation leads to healthy outcomes. Sometimes the very thing driving us is also the thing holding us back.   In this episode, we explore what unhelpful motivations are, how to identify them, and how they can affect our choices, relationships, and effectiveness at work. Whether you are a frontline employee, a manager, or an executive, this conversation offers practical insight into understanding what is really driving behavior and what to do when that motivation is no longer helping.   Have questions about this topic?

"There's a time when an exit is going to be inevitable — there may not be a time certain, but there is a time." Host Laurie Barkman reunites with Chip Scholz, founder of Scholz and Associates and author of Small Decisions, Big Shifts and the upcoming Handoffs, for a deeply personal and insightful conversation about the hidden leadership mistakes that quietly destroy business succession plans. Chip has spent nearly 30 years coaching executives and family business leaders through some of the most complex transitions in business — and he first met Laurie 13 years ago when she was a CEO candidate in a third-generation family business. Together they explore what great leadership evaluation looks like, why founders hold on too long, how hubris silently collapses delegation and decision-making, and the three stages every leader goes through on the road to retirement. Chip shares what he's learned — and what he's still learning — about the small decisions that ultimately create the biggest shifts.   Key Insights Culture fit is the foundation of every great leadership hire. The best organizations are people-oriented and performance-driven — in that order. When performance leads and people follow, bad things happen. Every hire, especially at the CEO level, should be evaluated through three lenses: strengths, motivations, and fit. Viewing the business as an asset — not a legacy — is what makes a clean exit possible. Founders who treat their company as an asset can make clear-headed decisions about growth, transition, and sale. Those who treat it purely as a legacy often hold on too long, stall the next generation, and turn what was once a strength into a bottleneck. Hubris is the silent killer of succession. When leaders believe they are the only ones who can run the business, delegation collapses, decision-making centralizes, and the organization becomes dependent on one person. Chip has seen companies where no one could spend $100 without CEO approval — and half the leadership team couldn't survive the transition when that CEO finally left. Retirement has three stages — and most founders only plan for the first one. Vacation, depression, and meaning and purpose. The honeymoon phase fades fast. Founders who haven't built outside interests, hobbies, or identity beyond the business hit a wall — and without a plan, depression follows. The goal is to reach meaning and purpose before a crisis forces the issue. Crisis is often the catalyst for transition — but it doesn't have to be. Whether it's a health scare, a lost client, or a market shift, crises force the introspection that should have happened years earlier. Chip advocates for doing that work proactively — in your 50s or early 60s — before external pressure removes your options. A hobby isn't a luxury — it's a succession strategy. Finding something outside the business that gives you purpose, community, and a sense of leadership is one of the most practical things a founder can do to prepare for transition. For Chip, it's woodturning. The point isn't the craft — it's the identity that lives outside the company.   Chapters: 00:00  Introduction of Chip Scholz 02:26  Reconnecting After 13 Years — A Personal Story 03:02  Leadership Evaluation: Strengths, Motivations, and Fit 06:37  Family Business Succession: Common Challenges 07:33  Asset vs. Legacy — The Mindset That Changes Everything 12:16  The Third-Generation Company: A Shared Story 14:04  Phantom Stock and Making 100 People Millionaires 16:00  The Five C's Framework for Leadership 17:42  Why Letting Go Is So Emotionally Hard 18:11   Hubris and Delegation: When Founders Won't Step Back 20:14  The $100 Approval Story 21:50  Why "Retirement" Triggers an Allergic Reaction 22:25  The Three Stages of Retirement 23:34  15 Years Preparing for Retirement — A Coaching Story 24:52  The Real Risk of the Depression Phase 26:44  What Does Retirement Really Mean? 29:33  Finding Purpose Outside Work: Woodturning 30:51  Handoffs — The Upcoming Book 35:02 Three Takeaways for Every Business Owner     Is your business truly ready—and are you?

Egyptian print media has historically functioned as a cultural barometer, shifting from the early official bulletins of the 20th century into a relentless and aggressive form of capitalism on steroids. Professor Bahia Shehab discusses her book, "A Trade in Dreams: A Century of Egyptian Print Advertising", unpacking how visual culture has been both a witness to and a victim of political upheaval. Her research illuminates a century where advertising functioned as legalized psychological operations, deeply embedded in the daily life of Cairo. By dissecting the visual language of the past, she provides a necessary framework for understanding the mono-culture and flattening of aesthetic diversity in the modern era.   00:00 Introduction 01:32 Invention of the Egyptian Press 04:00 The Business Model of Early Advertising 05:50 Motivations for Researching Advertising History 08:20 Discoveries in Beauty Standards and Race 09:55 Sequential Chronology and Political Tectonic Shifts 12:13 Napoleon, Egyptomania, and Early Visual Communication 17:14 1920s–1940s: Agriculture and the Tobacco Export Industry 20:00 Professionalization and Multinational Ad Agencies 22:31 Hybrid Aesthetics: International vs. Local Design 27:21 The Nasser Era: Socialism and Nationalized Media 30:57 The Sadat Era: Peace Treaties and the Open Door Policy 32:33 Influential Figures and the Silencing of Female Voices 37:01 Domination of the Soap Industry 48:58 The 1940s: The Golden Age of Egyptian Advertising 57:04 Egypt's Leading Role in Regional Advertising 59:08 Book Tour and Future Perspectives   Bahia Shehab is a multidisciplinary artist, designer, political activist and historian whose work focuses on the interaction and intersection of modern identity and ancient cultural heritage. Her imaginative combination of calligraphy and Islamic art history produced cutting edge, beautiful, impactful street art during the Arab Spring and continues to inform her work as an educator and designer. Having always been concerned with identity and preserving cultural heritage, she investigates art history to reinterpret contemporary Arab politics, feminist discourse and social issues. Her culturally oriented work enables her to use history as a means to better understand the present and find solutions for the future. She believes that art may be employed for the purposes of social change and has explored this phenomenon through her artwork, which focuses on socially charged themes such as the Arab identity and women's rights. Her research is largely concerned with understanding the Arabic letters and has been preoccupied with Arabic calligraphy in much of her work. Her work has been displayed in exhibitions around the world and she has received several awards and recognition for her achievements.   Connect with Bahia Shehab

Core motivations are the deepest layer of the Enneagram. The fear underneath what you do. The desire driving every decision you make.

MMIP advocates fault police in Anchorage for not acting fast enough when young Alaska Native woman went missing in January. Kelly Hunt's body was discovered in April. Her death is now under investigation. It's the latest case revealing the persistent lack of trust Native communities have when it comes to MMIP cases. Hunt's case comes as the Trump administration is touting a surge in federal agents in selected locations to address the backlog in unsolved serious crimes, but tribal leaders and advocates say there's no real progress on the lingering disconnect between Native people and law enforcement officials on all levels. And despite some recent progress, there are serious hurdles when it comes to jurisdictional confusion and information sharing across agencies. GUESTS Regina Antone (Gila River Indian Community), lieutenant governor of the Gila River Indian Community Stephen Roe Lewis, governor of the Gila River Indian Community Alexis Savage (Iñupiaq), MMIP advocate LaRenda Morgan (Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma), Cheyenne and Arapaho MMIP chapter chairwoman and the governmental affairs officer for the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma Break 1 Music: Nakoda Healing Song (song) YB Nakota (artist) Break 2 Music: Bad Dude (song) Joe H Henry (artist) Real Things (album)
