    The New Face Of The President's Immigration Crackdown

    As immigration and the economy dominate headlines, new FOX News polls reveal nearly 60% of voters now view ICE as too aggressive, prompting a strategic shift toward jail-based enforcement to reduce neighborhood operations. While the White House attempts to pivot to an economic message in Iowa ahead of the midterms, other polling shows a significant amount of Americans believe the President is not focused enough on inflation and affordability. FOX News Sunday anchor Shannon Bream joins the Rundown to break down these shifting public priorities and the Trump administration's "draw down" approach to immigration enforcement. Fox News Senior Correspondent Mike Tobin has been around the world covering war, crime, and natural disasters. But last spring, he took time off for a personal assignment: taking on one of the world's most difficult and dangerous challenges—reaching the summit of Mount Everest. The Fox Nation documentary, Everest: Journey to the Top of the World, captures Tobin's grueling battle against extreme weather, oxygen depletion, and the physical toll of his perilous trek to the Earth's highest summit. Tobin joins The Rundown to share his harrowing experience, the training and sacrifice required, and why he wanted to honor veterans and first responders when he finally reached the top of the world.  Plus, commentary by Jimmy Failla, host of FOX Across America with Jimmy Failla on Fox News Radio and FOX News Saturday Night on FOX News Channel.  Learn more about your ad choices.

    What if your 11% success rate means you're absolutely crushing it? In this episode, Paul Kirchoff shares how he helps small growth businesses and their leaders accelerate success through EPX Global, a breakthrough AI-centric acceleration platform and ecosystem. As an avid entrepreneur, investor, and global adventurer, Paul is the founder and CEO of EPX Global, where members around the world drive faster business success, max out amazing experiences, and push individual performance to new levels. Paul is also the Founder and CEO of DominoOne, an impact accelerator and crowdsourced problem-solving platform. Paul built two marketing software/agency companies and multi-billion dollar business units at Dell Computer Corporation as an early employee. He's a member of the 113-year-old Explorers Club, DJs electronic music, wrote a corporate thriller novel (giving proceeds to cancer research), and made a film about racism. Paul is developing frontier-level expertise in operationalizing artificial intelligence across the enterprise in every department. Paul reveals two relationships that transformed him in ways nobody has ever answered this question before: a Mongolian eagle hunter he met in the far eastern corner of Mongolia, an older gentleman who had zero knowledge of America, spoke no English, and lived in a yurt with horses and golden eagles as pets, teaching Paul about authentic human connection beyond labels and systems, which became the core culture he built into his technology platform where single moms are valued equally with astronauts; and a police officer who arrested him at 32 after a casual happy hour (though Paul was sober), leading to community service at a center for the deaf and blind where he spent weeks rewinding VHS tapes while listening to thought leaders teach cutting-edge SEO and digital marketing, which gave him the advanced knowledge to start his marketing agency that became successful and sold 13 years later, ultimately leading to his trip to Mongolia and the realization he needed to build EPX Global.   [00:04:00] What Paul Does at EPX Global Tech veteran CEO with many startups, sold companies, shut down companies Early employee at Dell Computer Corporation before anyone in Austin knew who Michael Dell was Built EPX Global as AI-centric ecosystem for small growth businesses and their leaders Heavy artificial intelligence expertise helping companies accelerate success, health, and experiences [00:05:00] Making Everything Go Faster Helps accelerate time to best performance unique to genetics on health side Helps companies accelerate success with AI, connections, and knowledge Makes sure people don't forget to dance under the Milky Way because life is short [00:06:00] Living in Service of Others Used to be financial goals and status symbols when younger, none of that matters now Addicted to a blank sheet of paper, gifted to solve or invent anything Respect for fellow humans (all a unit of one on their own unique journey) Living in service of others by replicating himself with technology [00:07:00] Building a Top Marketing Agency Built and sold one of top demand generation agencies in world Controlled front page of Google, Facebook called asking how they converted traffic Always on cutting edge of deploying technology in marketing (technical + psychology) [00:08:20] AI Systems for Every Business Size Wanted to build AI systems for small businesses (missing factor for 10x resources) Also doing business transformation consulting for billion-dollar companies Helping bigger companies go from where they are to AI-first operations [00:09:20] The 60% Revenue Increase Every Month Networking ecosystem connects people to solutions for health, happiness, business, capital People battling depression got connected to biohacking guys, transformed their lives One client company 60-70% higher revenue every single month with zero change to headcount [00:11:00] Being the X Factor AI systems deployed handle support, become AI salesperson, become AI marketing team Small businesses can grow beyond traditional chains with 10x resources All about being X factor in people's lives or facilitating X factor with someone else [00:14:00] The 11% Success Rate Discovery Expert guest on platform said his success rate is 14% (very successful guy) Paul did the math on his own attempts, came out to 11% success rate Entrepreneurs put enormous pressure on themselves, need different perspective [00:16:00] Trust in an AI World Real meaningful relationships becoming more and more valuable with AI Building networking assistant governed by user (uses your reasoning to find value) Human connection and that magnetic field around our hearts makes us who we are [00:19:40] When Social Media Became Entertainment Facebook, Instagram, TikTok devolved into micro entertainment channels (not networking) Feeds filled with ads and sponsored posts, no actual networking EPX Global has no ads, every connection based on merit of what you want [00:20:20] Photorealistic Fake Content AI video (Sora, Veo) can create photorealistic content that's completely fake Consumer backlash coming for authenticity in connections Business will embrace AI efficiency (hyper-efficient usually wins) [00:23:00] Two People, No Names Never anyone Paul looks up to or admires or wants to be like who affected his life Been blessed to meet incredible people (Pope, Richard Branson's Island, etc.) Two people come to mind that transformed everything Both people Paul has no idea where they are or their names [00:24:20] Far Eastern Mongolia Was entrepreneur working 14 hours a day for decade plus, one-trick pony success Knew needed to desperately change something, chose adventure Took group to far eastern corner of Mongolia to ride horses with eagle hunters Met older gentleman in yurt who had zero knowledge of America or United States [00:25:40] The Man with Golden Eagles Man spoke zero English, wore fox neck tie, had pet golden eagles (40 pounds) Paul realized this is furthest from his life as tech guy (opposite side of life) Both excited to meet each other as new friends with zero in common [00:27:00] Single Moms and Astronauts Brought that spiritualness and core value into network he built Despite super achievers (swimming oceans, skiing Everest, gold medals), none of that matters Single mom raising five good kids might be more impressive than astronaut [00:27:40] The Saturday Night Traffic Stop At 32, coming out of casual happy hour, got pulled over Told officer honestly: "I had two drinks over last hour, I'm clearly fine" Officer said he seemed like nice guy but made him do sobriety test Got arrested and taken downtown (was actually sober, officer kept saying he was nicest person) [00:28:40] Community Service for the Deaf and Blind Offered to do community service to get charge expunged Chose center for deaf and blind, job was rewinding VHS tapes in warehouse Asked supervisor if he could listen to music, supervisor said yes [00:29:20] SEO Lessons in His Ears Instead of music, put in thought leaders teaching SEO and digital marketing For weeks on end, hours a day, learning cutting-edge techniques from pioneers After that, was so advanced in knowledge that led to starting agency Agency became successful and powerful, sold it 13 years later [00:30:00] The Chain of Events If officer hadn't arrested him, wouldn't have had that learning experience Wouldn't have had confidence to start agency that got him burnt out Wouldn't have gone to Mongolia and realized need to build network [00:31:00] In the Canyon Before the Summit At the time was devastated, seemed horrible (younger without perspective) Now incredibly grateful it happened When in the canyon, you're about to go to the summit [00:32:20] When Identity Gets Wrapped Up Greatest risk to mental health is when identity tied to something other than happiness If identity wrapped up in labels (AI whisperer, top guy), devastated when things go wrong Separate identity from accomplishments to stomach any ups and downs [00:38:00] The Leader in the Back AI exercise: meditate on what you look like as future leader Paul's image: crowd moving down valley, Paul in the back (slightly bigger) Leader in back can move crowds (not showing off Maserati or boat) [00:39:00] A Multitude of Miracles However someone gets through life (good/bad parents, heartbreak, etc.) shapes them Everyone made it to this one moment in time (mathematically massive miracle) When you respect everyone like that, you operate without ability to judge or be judged [00:39:40] Operating Without Fear When you don't judge or feel judged, you operate without expectations Without expectations means without fear of future negative ramifications Can be yourself, be present, love everybody, still compete   KEY QUOTES "I did the math and my success rate is like 11%. And I feel like I'm fairly successful, right? I've learned to not really give a shit about what your definition of success is." - Paul Kirchoff "There's zero in common, zero knowledge about each other. And it was one of the most remarkable moments because it shows you this level of connection that's possible when you drop labels and systems and passports and everything else." - Paul Kirchoff "If that guy wouldn't have arrested me, I wouldn't have started an agency, wouldn't have gotten burnt out, wouldn't have gone to Mongolia, and wouldn't be on this call today." - Paul Kirchoff CONNECT WITH PAUL KIRCHOFF

    In this episode of 'Disaster Strikes' on the Crux podcast, host Julie Henningsen delves into the harrowing story of David Sharp, a dedicated mountaineer whose third attempt to summit Mount Everest ended in tragedy. On May 15, 2006, Sharp was found unresponsive at 27,890 feet, seated next to the landmark known as Green Boots Cave. Despite attempts to help from several climbers, Sharp ultimately did not survive. The episode explores the decisions and conditions that led to this tragic outcome, the ethical dilemmas facing fellow climbers, and the broader implications for high-altitude mountaineering. Henningsen also contrasts Sharp's fate with the miraculous survival of Lincoln Hall, another climber left for dead but who managed to survive under similar conditions. The episode serves as a poignant reminder of the perils of mountaineering. 00:00 Introduction to Disaster Strikes 00:59 The Tragic Encounter on Everest 03:34 David Sharp's Background and Climbing History 06:25 The Final Attempt and Its Challenges 07:13 The Controversial Basic Package 14:33 The Deadly Climb of 2006 16:37 Green Boots and the Final Resting Place 19:12 David Sharp's Final Hours 19:54 Turkish Climbers' Dilemma 21:50 Controversy and Confusion 22:44 Efforts to Save Sharp 24:35 The Aftermath and Public Outcry 27:29 Lincoln Hall's Miraculous Survival 31:53 Comparing Sharp and Hall 34:20 Legacy and Reflection 35:32 Conclusion and Final Thoughts References David Sharp (mountaineer) - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Sharp_(mountaineer) Lincoln Hall (climber) - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lincoln_Hall_(climber) Green Boots - Ultimate Kilimanjaro https://www.ultimatekilimanjaro.com/green-boots-on-mount-everest-who-was-he-how-did-he-die/ "Dying For Everest" (2007) New Zealand TV3 Documentary featuring interviews with climbers and expedition leaders "Everest: Beyond the Limit" (2006-2009) Discovery Channel series featuring Russell Brice's Himex expeditions, Season 1 includes David Sharp incident "Dead Lucky: Life After Death on Mount Everest" by Lincoln Hall (2007) "Dark Summit: The True Story of Everest's Most Controversial Season" by Nick Heil (2008) "Over the Top" - Outside Online (August 15, 2006) https://www.outsideonline.com/1909966/over-top "The Tragic Death of David Sharp" - Eight Summits https://eightsummits.com/bills-articles/the-tragic-death-of-david-sharp/ "Lincoln Hall Rescue" - SummitClimb https://www.summitclimb.com/news/mef/lincoln-hall-rescue Alan Arnette - Everest Coverage https://www.alanarnette.com "Mortality on Mount Everest, 1921-2006: descriptive study" British Medical Journal (PMC2602730) Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    Your chronic physical pain might be more than a medical diagnosis—it could be your body's only way of screaming for emotional rescue.Author and Shaman, Kerry Blaser Bouzaglo, joins Brigitte Cutshall to share her journey from a traumatic childhood and debilitating back pain to a life of "psychic gifts" and radical health, revealing how women can stop "popping pills" and start listening to the wisdom of their own biology.3 Key Takeaways:(1) The Body as a Mirror: Chronic physical ailments—specifically lower back and "womb" pain—often serve as physical manifestations of repressed emotional trauma, guilt, and shame.(2) The "Hills and Valleys" of Growth: Using a physics-based metaphor, Keri explains that the "valleys" of life provide the momentum and speed necessary to reach higher levels of wisdom; without the lows, we cannot reach the "Everest" of enlightenment.(3) Recalibrating the Nervous System: Healing is the process of shifting the body's resonance from fear-based frequencies to the frequencies of love and compassion (measured at $500text{ Hz}$ and above).Are you ready to stop ignoring what your body is trying to tell you?

    Sam and Adrian wrap up the Seven Summits Series with none other than Mt. Everest. At 29,032' above sea level, Mt Everest is much taller than any of the other seven summits, and its history, notoriety and reputation speaks for itself. While Everest has been well covered on the Duffel Shuffle Podcast, Sam and Adrian endeavor to provide an unbiased look at climbing the mountain, and compare the two regular climbing routes for guided climbers, with as little opinion as possible. - Different "requirements" for prior experience exist on either side of the mountain, and many operators have their own prerequisites, but in general experience up to 7,000m is important. In theory, this experience and more can be gathered through climbing the other six of the seven summits. - There are pros and cons to each side of the mountain, but the most important thing when considering an Everest Expedition is understanding what your getting from your operator. Budget and Guiding do not go hand in hand. - While there are differences between sides in weather, infrastructure, rescue, technicality, access, etc. the each have reasonable pros and cons.

    If you've ever wondered why some leaders instantly connect and inspire while others struggle to be heard, this episode breaks it down. Dr. Danny Brassell shares how storytelling becomes a leadership requirement and a growth engine that converts audiences into clients. Danny's path includes pivots from journalism to teaching to speaking, a painful financial loss that reshaped his worldview, and a repeatable framework for building talks that drive real results.  You'll also hear why vulnerability builds trust, why reading is a competitive advantage in a distracted world, and how to move from applause to measurable ROI. What you'll learn Why storytelling isn't optional for leaders—it's the bridge to trust, influence, and action. How to turn failure into connection (and why audiences relate more to your losses than your wins). The difference between good presenters (who tell stories) and excellent presenters (who tell stories with intention). A practical method for building a personal "story bank" you can pull from anytime. How to design talks that move the needle, not just "get applause." Danny's 5Cs framework for building talks that convert. Why deep reading is a competitive advantage—and how to use your phone to support learning instead of draining attention. How to manage stage fright by naming it and turning discomfort into connection. A simple weekly habit system that creates momentum across your life (Danny's "7 F's"). Key Topics & Timestamps  00:01 – Intro: why storytelling is a leadership requirement 02:18 – Danny's "Pivots" story: journalism → teaching → speaking 05:13 – Shame, vulnerability, and telling the "messy" parts 06:35 – The 2005 real estate seminar scam: losing everything and what it taught him 11:05 – The "story bank" exercise: triggers → themes → intentional stories 14:59 – Relatable stories vs. impressive stories (Everest vs. first grade) 16:25 – Speaking as the fastest way to grow a business (applause vs. next steps) 21:05 – The 5Cs framework: Clarity, Connect, Content, Call to Action, Close 26:57 – Stage fright: embrace the weakness, say it out loud, keep going 35:57 – Reading as competitive advantage + how leaders train attention 48:44 – Misfits, unconventional thinkers, and what school often misses 57:06 – Pre-week planning + Danny's "7 F's" goal categories 1:09:38 – "Intentionally curious" + building a life around better questions 1:10:09 – Free resource: Danny's Story Blueprint + the power of one clear CTA 1:11:52 – Closing: "Stay curious." Danny's Most Actionable Frameworks 1) The "Story Bank" Exercise (Danny's process) Write down story triggers for 60 minutes (hundreds of quick moments). For each, label the message: perseverance, loyalty, awareness, humility, etc. Use stories by intention—to generate a specific emotion and outcome. 2) Applause vs. ROI Danny's measurement of speaking success: How many people took the next step? Examples of "next steps": Subscribe / follow / opt-in (unpaid) Book a consult / buy a product / join a program (paid) 3) The 5Cs Process (Danny's talk-building blueprint) Clarity: Who is the audience? What problem do you solve? Connect: In the first 5 minutes, "RAP" Relatable (I'm like you) Authority (I solved it) Purpose (I'm here to help you) Content: Teach meaningfully (serve the audience) Call to Action: One clear next step Close: Emotional finish people remember 4) Audience Motivation (Income / Freedom / Impact) "20-year-olds" → income "40-year-olds" → freedom "60-year-olds" → impact Notable Moments & Soundbites "Good presenters tell stories. Excellent presenters tell stories with intention." "We want to move hearts—but we also want to move the needle." "The first five minutes are everything." "You don't need artificial intelligence—you need authentic intelligence." "You no longer have to know the answer. It's more important to ask the right question." "Stay curious."   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Businessfinanceandsoul

    What do you do when life tells you there's no future left to plan for? In this powerful episode of Never Perfect, Dr. Beth sits down with Sean Swarner, a two-time terminal cancer survivor who was once given just days to live—and went on to redefine what's possible. With one lung, Sean became the first cancer survivor to climb Mt Everest and the only person in history to climb the highest mountain on every continent and ski to both the North and South Poles. There's a reason Sean was voted one of the 8 most inspiring people of all time; he is a living testament to resilience. Given 14 days to live, he emerged as the first cancer survivor atop Everest, scaling all seven continents' peaks, skiing to both Poles, and completing the Hawaii Ironman World Championship. Beyond milestones, he founded The Cancer Climber Association, wrote "BECOMING UNSTOPABLE: Conquering Your Everest" and is a sought-after speaker. From crawling in a hospital to Everest's summit, Sean's journey inspires globally. Join him in defying odds and sharing his powerful message worldwide. Today Sean shares how shifting his focus from not dying to fully living changed everything. He also explains his distinction between “true summits” and “false summits”. Together, he and Dr. Beth explore resilience, identity, mental health, and the courage it takes to keep choosing life—especially when the odds say you shouldn't. This episode explores: Turning impossible diagnoses into purpose-driven living Why failure is information, not identity Mental health, fear, and meeting life one minute at a time How redefining “possible” can transform everything

    Modern gear has never been better but does that automatically make us better outdoorsmen?This episode was inspired by a recent experiment that tested 100-year-old Everest gear against modern high-altitude equipment. The results were surprising, and they raise a bigger question that applies just as much to the Maine woods and waters: Is the real difference between traditional and modern gear about performance or about understanding?This isn't an argument against technology. It's a conversation about skill, dependence, and what happens when gear fails, conditions turn, or plans change. From wool and compasses to GPS units and optics, we explore where modern gear truly helps and where it can quietly replace awareness, adaptability, and experience. Let's be honest, the woods don't care what era your gear comes from...only whether you understand it.Enjoy!If your interested in reading the article referenced in this podcast, see the link below

Jenkins recounts his firsthand coverage of an ICE operation in Maine, where activists—many dubbed the “nose ring militia”—blocked arrests of criminal illegal aliens, including violent offenders. He exposes how sanctuary city policies endanger law enforcement and embolden extremists, sharing disturbing examples of ICE agents being doxxed and threatened online. The discussion turns to media hypocrisy, political cowardice, and public safety before lightening with talk of Jenkins' tireless schedule, surfing habit, and respect for colleague Mike Tobin's Everest push-up challenge to raise awareness for veteran suicide. #MarcCoxShow #GriffJenkins #ICE #BorderSecurity #SanctuaryCities #LawEnforcement #FoxNews #PublicSafety #VeteranAwareness

    Lose Your Cravings Podcast with Keysa Amaro

    In this episode, we explore the Everest Effect as a compassionate, non-diet framework for healing your relationship with food. Using the metaphor of climbing Mount Everest, we normalize the ups and downs of working with cravings, emotional eating, bingeing, and body image—showing why progress is never a straight line. Periods of feeling grounded and using tools to sit with cravings are part of the climb, while days of overeating are not failures but necessary returns to “base camp” that help us acclimate, gather awareness, and build capacity. Rather than responding with shame or restriction, we invite curiosity, self-compassion, and support, reminding listeners that each cycle deepens trust, resilience, and choice—and that sustainable change with food happens through gentleness, not force.Join my Nourished Mind + Body Community here!Become a sponsor of the Lose Your Cravings Podcast here!patreon.com/loseyourcravingsGet my FREE Guide: Break Free From Nighttime EatingWant to dive deeper into ending your cravings and overeating once and for all? → Book a call with me!

    It's been another wild week around here with the Oilers rollercoaster making another loop, and I've got a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never ready to recap it all. On today's podcast, I talked about the Oilers' inability to string wins together, Tristan Jarry's first home start, Curtis Lazar's 600th game, and much more.I kicked off this week's episode with a quick recap of Ryan Nugent-Hopkins' 1000th game and how cool it was to be in the building for the milestone. Next up was a discussion about why the Oilers cannot seem to win three straight games to save their lives. They've had nine opportunities to string some wins together this season, but for whatever reason, they simply cannot get that third one to go through. Last night, the boys played for 20 minutes instead of a full sixty, but the result was the same. I also spent a few minutes talking about Curtis Lazar's 600th NHL game, and how he's turned himself into a player I want to see in Edmonton's lineup every night.Finally, I wrapped up this week's episode of BLTN with a guest Righteous Sack Beating before closing out the podcast with another round of voicemails. The voicemail was alive this week, and everyone's takes ranged from what you're nerdy about to Oilers talk and everything in between. The voicemail is the best way to wrap up the show and give everyone a chance to share their thoughts. Another hearty thank you to everyone who contributed to this week's episode. Having all of you in the mix makes the show so much better.Want to leave a voicemail for next week's show? Do it here!

    This episode features Cliff Kupchan, Chairman of Eurasia Group, discussing the firm's 2026 Top Risks report and the dramatically changed role of the United States in the international system. Brandon & Nick explore how US domestic political convulsions create ripple effects globally, positioning America, not Russia, as the primary source of geopolitical risk. Kupchan analyzes Trump 2.0's muscular unilateralism, the "Donroe Doctrine" asserting control over the Western Hemisphere, state capitalism with American characteristics, and rising political violence domestically, including ICE raid activity in Minnesota. The discussion examines affordability crises, tariff dynamics with China, Greenland acquisition speculation, European security concerns, and Venezuela's uncertain future following US military intervention. We also touch on optimistic counterpoints around AI, India's growth, and Democratic electoral prospects.Intertwined throughout are Brandon & Nick's observations on Minneapolis turmoil, wine pairings (Humano Tequila Reposado and Caparsa Chianti Classico 2021), and lighter moments including a "truth and lie" trivia segment about Maine's proximity to Africa, Venus cloud composition, and Mount Everest measurements.Key Takeaways• The US is now the primary source of global political risk, displacing Russia, a historic shift reflecting the US dismantling the international system it created post-1945• Greenland acquisition could destroy transatlantic trust, the foundation of NATO and EU-US economic relationships, with cascading consequences for global financial markets• Midterm elections (2026) offer potential circuit-breaker: Democrats likely to take House back (~80% probability), enabling oversight and restraining Trump's most aggressive impulses• AI and India represent genuine upside: Massive efficiency gains in insurance (200 basis point expense ratio reduction), AI revenue, and 7% Indian growth offer offsetting optimismEpisode Chapters01:11 — Humano Tequila Reposado & Caparsa Chianti Classico 2021 Tasting Notes04:17 — Howden M&A Strategy, Broker Litigation, and Alliance Capital Restraining Order06:13 — Insurance Industry Expense Ratios & AI Impact ($9.3B Operating Income Uplift Forecast)13:04 — Minneapolis ICE Raids, Political Violence, and State Security Concerns23:26 — Venezuela Regime Change & Oil Uninvestability Discussion30:19 — Cliff Kupchan Introduction & Eurasia Group Top Risks 202634:34 — Globalization Backlash & Right-Wing Populism Drivers40:42 — State Capitalism, Credit Card Caps, and Trump's Contradictory Vision43:56 — Tariff Negotiations with China & "Peak Tariff" Assessment46:24 — Greenland Acquisition as Transatlantic Relationship Risk51:50 — Democratic Midterm Prospects & Checks-and-Balances Outlook53:37 — Positive Counterpoints: AI, India, and Saudi Arabia Reform56:34 — Guest Departs; Return to Host Discussion57:00 — Lake Minnetonka Geography Fact-Check (Swimming Distance Verification)58:23 — "Truth & Lie" Trivia: Maine-Africa Distance, Venus Clouds, Mount Everest01:03:52 — Show Wrap-Up & YouTube Channel AnnouncementFact Checks: Corrected Facts OnlyClaim: Mount Everest is the tallest mountain when measured base to peak • Status: INCOMPLETE/MISLEADING • Correction: Mount Everest is highest by sea level elevation (29,032 ft), but Denali (Mount McKinley) has greater vertical rise from base to peak (~18,000+ ft vs. Everest's ~12,000-15,000 ft base-to-peak)Connect with RiskCellar:Website: https://www.riskcellar.com/Guest: Cliff KupchanWebsite: https://www.eurasiagroup.net/people/ckupchanOrganization Website: https://www.eurasiagroup.netEmail: kupchan@eurasiagroup.netBrandon Schuh:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61552710523314LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brandon-stephen-schuh/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/schuhpapa/Nick Hartmann:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickjhartmann/

The Athens, Georgia-based guitarist has transcribed and recorded an entire album of acoustic guitar arrangements featuring the music of electronic music duo Autechre. This is no small feat.

    Meet Sean Swarner.His WHY.os is Better Way - Make Sense - Contribute.What happens when you beat death, accomplish the impossible, and still feel empty?In this episode of Beyond Your WHY, Dr. Gary Sanchez sits down with Sean Swarner, one of the most resilient humans alive. Sean isn't just known for climbing Mount Everest with one functioning lung or completing the Explorer's Grand Slam. He's known for what happened after the summit, when the celebration faded and a deeper question surfaced: What actually fulfills us?Sean takes listeners back to high school, where cancer replaced typical teenage worries and survival became the only goal. He shares raw moments from being given last rites at 16, spending a year in a medically induced coma, and learning to live without a sense of future. That perspective shaped everything that followed, from his decision to climb Everest as a platform for hope to realizing that even world-class achievements can still be “false summits.”This conversation goes far beyond endurance feats. Sean breaks down the difference between chasing goals that impress others and pursuing purpose that lasts. He introduces the idea of false summits versus true summits, why success doesn't automatically equal fulfillment, and how many high achievers unknowingly climb the wrong mountains. Together, Gary and Sean explore identity, meaning, ego, and what it really takes to align goals, values, and heart.If you've ever hit a milestone and thought “now what?”, felt driven but not satisfied, or wondered whether you're climbing the right mountain, this episode will challenge how you define success and push you to rethink what you're really striving for.Contact Sean:Website URL:www.SeanSwarner.comLinkedIn URL:Linkedinlinkedin.com/in/seanswarner/ Hosted on Acast.

    Zeker, Arsenal heeft betere spitsen gehad dan Nicklas Bendtner. Dat geldt eigenlijk voor alle clubs waar hij in zijn te korte carrière voor speelde. Toch heeft de Deense aanvaller een onuitwisbare indruk achtergelaten, al lag dat meer aan zijn escapades buiten het veld. Vandaag is Lord Bendtner jarig, hij wordt 38. Als voetballer was hij symbool voor de magere jaren van Arsenal, al scoorde hij wel legendarisch na slechts 1,8 seconde in de North London Derby. Zijn bijnaam Lord Bendtner verwerft hij nadat hij een groot landgoed in Schotland koopt, een titel die hij zelf naar verluidt schitterend vindt. Bendtner is pas 26 als hij zijn laatste wedstrijd voor Arsenal speelt, waarna het vooral bergafwaarts gaat. Het rijtje escapades is indrukwekkend: hij overleeft een crash met zijn Aston Martin ternauwernood, verliest in anderhalfuur tijd 4 ton aan de roulettetafel, legt een wijnvoorraad van 50.000 flessen aan en laat een parkeerboete oplopen tot 38.000 euro. Zijn bijzondere band met taxi's levert hem 50 dagen cel op na meerdere vechtpartijen, waaronder een incident waarbij hij met zijn geslachtsdeel tegen een taxiraam slaat. Bij het EK 2012 krijgt hij 100.000 euro boete voor het tonen van zijn Paddy Power-boxer na een goal. Na Rosenborg en FC Kopenhagen hangt hij op zijn 31e al zijn voetbalschoenen aan de wilgen. Inmiddels is hij analist voor de Deense tv en zien we hem vooral met zijn verloofde op jetset-feestjes, al kondigde hij in 2024 nog aan de Mount Everest te willen beklimmen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Premise In this podcast episode, we host India's biggest and best Executive Coach Shital Kakkar Mehra. She has trained more than 1000 CxO's and more than 40000 leaders about how to develop their executive presence. We talk about how the we lead and what is expected from us shifts as we continue to grow in our careers and what makes us successful early in our career is no longer enough when we become managers (managing people) and it changes again, when we start leading managers and agains shifts when we start leading functions and organisations. Apart from all the technical skills and the ability to make decisions and lead their team, we all also need what is called "Executive Presence". Let's figure out what it is and how can one go about developing it within ourselves. Lessons from the Conversation 1. The Invisible Ceiling In the high-stakes world of executive leadership, the ascent to the top is frequently compared to climbing Mount Everest. Reaching the "Base Camp" of your career requires physical stamina, technical aptitude, and raw motivation. However, as any seasoned strategist will tell you, the skills required to reach Base Camp are fundamentally insufficient for the final push to the Summit. To reach the peak—the C-suite—leaders must pivot from reliance on technical expertise to the mastery of "Executive Presence." This is the intangible "X-Factor" that distinguishes a high-performing manager from a true leader. Without it, even the most brilliant minds hit an invisible ceiling, possessing the data but lacking the gravitas to influence the board. 2. The "Hygiene Factor" Fallacy At senior levels, technical brilliance and intellectual capability are no longer competitive advantages; they are "hygiene factors." Much like basic cleanliness in a hospital, these traits are expected baseline requirements. They provide the foundation, but "presence" provides the leverage. To diagnose where a leader's impact is stalling, we utilize the POISE formula. This framework treats leadership as an iceberg: while 90% of your value (technicality) lies beneath the surface, the 10% that is visible (physicality) is what dictates whether others are willing to dive deeper. P – Physical Presence: The visual semiotics of leadership. Packaging and body language serve as the primary point of visibility, signaling readiness and authority. O – Online Presence: Your digital equity. This encompasses how you project authority on screen, in digital communications, and across professional social networks. I – Influencer Skills: The bedrock of executive maturity. This involves the strategic ability to say "no," the discernment to listen, and the emotional intelligence to navigate complex stakeholder landscapes. S – Stage Presence: The "General's Skill." Historically, battles were won not just by army size, but by a leader's ability to communicate a vision that galvanized the ranks. E – Engagement Presence: Relationship capital. The intentional building of networks within and outside the organization to ensure visibility, which remains the primary driver of opportunity. 3. The 33% Impact Tax: Why Your "Camera Off" Policy is Killing Your Career In the post-pandemic landscape, leadership impact is governed by the Triple V Formula: Visual: How you look and the environment you project. Verbal: The specific vocabulary and syntax you employ. Vocal: The modulation and delivery of your voice. If you choose to keep your camera off during virtual engagements, you are effectively paying a 33% tax on your potential impact. In a remote environment, your face is your most mobile and expressive tool for building trust. Showing up "camera ready" is a signal of professional respect and interpersonal equity. "I'm not Fox Studios. I'm not calling you to launch your Hollywood career… just switch on the camera so that we can build a good working relationship... when you look like you're ready for business, it says, 'Of course, I respect you and I'm serious about my work.'" Shital Kakkar Mehra 4. The 30-Second Rule: Why Preparation Trumps "Winging It" There is a persistent myth in corporate circles that executive presence is impromptu and that either you have it or you dont. In reality, the most seamless presence is the result of rigorous preparation - Pre-meeting Research. A leader's success in a high-stakes meeting is determined in the first 30 seconds. If you establish context and confidence immediately, the remaining 29 minutes and 30 seconds flow with ease. To achieve this, adopt the "Newspaper Headline" approach: speak in punchy, high-impact bullet points first, then deep-dive into the details only when you have secured the audience's interest. True "impromptu" excellence is a performance. Much like professional comedy, which relies on hours of perfecting timing and scripts, executive presence is the result of anticipating tangents and preparing intelligent questions before the first word is spoken. 5. Death by PPT vs. The Performance of Leadership Traditional "Death by PPT" is a symptom of a leader who has failed to transition from a Subject Matter Expert to a Performer. Slides should be reserved for visual evidence—graphs, photos, or videos—never as a teleprompter. Once you take the stage, you are a performer charged with managing the energy of the room. The most critical, yet often neglected, tool in this performance is voice modulation: Volume: Use loudness for emphasis, but remember that a whisper can often draw an audience in more effectively. Pitch: Varying your high and low notes prevents the "monotone fatigue" that causes audiences to disengage. Tone: In both professional and personal spheres, tone is the primary driver of conflict. Just as a large percentage of marital disputes are caused by how something was said rather than what was said, a leader's tone can either build a bridge or incite a defensive response. 6. The Evolution of the Alpha: From Autocrat to Cultural Steward The "Alpha" leader of the early 2000s—the autocratic command-and-control figure—is obsolete. Modern leadership requires a significant mindset shift, particularly for leaders in their 40s and 50s who were trained in a different era. Today's workplace often spans five distinct generations, each with varying expectations regarding mental health, empathy, and mutual respect. The role of the leader has evolved from being the primary source of value to being the "Guard" or Cultural Steward or a Facilitator for the flow of information and decision making. Your job is to ensure the team is cared for and the environment is psychologically safe so that they can deliver the value. Empathy is no longer a "soft skill"; it is a core requirement for retention and performance in a multi-generational landscape. 7. The "Silent" Skill: Mastering the Power of the Pause The ultimate hallmark of executive maturity is the ability to stop talking. It is a profound linguistic coincidence that the words "Listen" and "Silent" are composed of the exact same letters. The "Power of the Pause" allows for perspective. It gives your audience time to process your "newspaper headlines" and gives you the space to buy time and breathe. This intentionality is what transforms a person into a brand. Every leader must recognize that they are the CEO of their own personal brand, and every brand requires strategic investment, promotion, and consistent visibility to remain relevant. Reflection and the pause lead to intentionality. Are you currently content remaining at the Base Camp, or are you ready to begin the specialized training required for the Summit? In Conclusion In conclusion, I would say that every stage of the leadership ladder (individual contributor, managing people, managing managers, managing functions and managing organisations) each require new skills to be learnt, in addition to what we have already mastered at the existing level. One that that becomes even more critical is our ability to show up and be seen, heard and trusted by the teams that we lead. Building a strong executive presence goes a long way in achieving this.

    GDP Script/ Top Stories for January 13th Publish Date: January 13th From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Tuesday, January 13th and Happy Birthday to Julia Louis Dreyfus I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Former Buford star Zach Smith conquers final peak to complete Seven Summits Man found shot to death at Snellville area home Children’s Museum of Atlanta to debut 'AIM HIGH: Soaring with the Tuskegee Airmen' All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: Kia Mall of Georgia - Sugar Hill Ice Skating Rink STORY 1: Former Buford star Zach Smith conquers final peak to complete Seven Summits In early December, Zach Smith—former Buford football standout turned mountaineer—wrapped up something most of us can only dream about: climbing the last of the Seven Summits. On Dec. 1, he stood atop Mount Vinson in Antarctica, completing a journey fewer than 500 people have ever achieved. And this wasn’t just any year for Smith. In 2025 alone, he also summited Carstensz Pyramid in February and Mount Everest in July. Three summits. One year. Getting to Antarctica was no small feat. After a whirlwind of flights, freezing temps and carrying double provisions, Smith and his team lucked out with good weather, summiting in a week. Others weren’t so lucky, stuck on the mountain for days. Why three summits in one year? “It was about timing,” Smith said. “I was already in peak shape, and my wife and I decided it made sense to go for it.” But now? He’s ready for a slower pace. STORY 2: Man found shot to death at Snellville area home Gwinnett police are digging into a homicide after a man was found dead early Sunday in unincorporated Snellville. It was around 3:10 a.m. when officers got a call about someone down on Saddle Ridge Drive. When they arrived, they found a man—already gone—apparently from a gunshot wound. Detectives are on it, interviewing witnesses, while the Crime Scene Unit combs through the area for evidence. Police say it looks like an isolated incident, so there’s no threat to the public. The victim’s name hasn’t been released yet. Got info? Call detectives at 770-513-5300 or Crime Stoppers at 404-577-TIPS. STORY 3: Children’s Museum of Atlanta to debut 'AIM HIGH: Soaring with the Tuskegee Airmen' The Children’s Museum of Atlanta is kicking off 2026 with something special: “AIM HIGH: Soaring with the Tuskegee Airmen.” Opening Jan. 17, this hands-on exhibit dives into the history and legacy of the first Black military aviators, blending their groundbreaking story with the science and wonder of flight. Timed perfectly with Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the exhibit celebrates resilience, courage, and the belief that opportunity shouldn’t be limited by race. From climbing into a life-size cockpit to designing their own wings, kids can explore aviation through play. There’s even a Smithsonian companion exhibit, “Black Wings,” spotlighting African Americans’ contributions to flight—from early pioneers to modern astronauts. Running through May 10, AIM HIGH invites kids to dream big, imagine themselves as pilots, engineers, and innovators—and maybe even take flight someday. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: Ingles Markets STORY 4: Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office employee arrested on child molestation charges A former probationary employee of the Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office has been arrested after an investigation into crimes against children, police said. It started Jan. 5, when a parent reported finding explicit messages sent to her underage daughter. Detectives with the Special Victims Unit identified 21-year-old Rylee Willis of Stone Mountain as the suspect. At the time, Willis was employed by the Sheriff’s Office but still in his probationary period. Willis now faces two counts each of child molestation and enticing a child for indecent purposes. He’s being held without bond. STORY 5: Gwinnett County hosting 911 Communications Hiring Event on Jan. 31 Ever wondered what it’s like to be the calm voice on the other end of a 911 call? Gwinnett County’s E911 Communications Division is hosting a hiring event and open house on Jan. 31, giving you a rare, behind-the-scenes look at this critical public safety role. Held at the Police Annex (800 Hi Hope Rd, Lawrenceville), the event includes tours of the 911 Center, live call observations, and the chance to meet seasoned dispatchers. You’ll even complete Phase I of the hiring process—think skills assessments, interviews, and more. Space is tight, so appointments (8 a.m. or noon) are first-come, first-served. Apply online, submit your background booklet, and secure your spot. Perks? A $4,800 hiring bonus, educational incentives, shift differentials, and overtime opportunities. Must be 18+, a U.S. citizen, and have a high school diploma or GED. Details: Gwinnett911Careers.com or contact Investigator Raemie Fransen at 770.513.5565. We’ll be right back. Break 3: EAGLE THEATRE STORY 6: Jason Lane retiring after more than a decade as principal at Mill Creek High School For the last 13 years, Jason Lane has been the principal at Mill Creek High School, a role he never really saw coming. “I didn’t think I’d be a principal,” he said. “But as an assistant principal, I loved helping kids and teachers. Then some mentors saw something in me I didn’t see in myself.” Now, after 28 years in education—24 of them in Gwinnett County—Lane is retiring at the end of the 2025-26 school year. During his tenure, Mill Creek has thrived: academic achievements, 20+ state championships, and a focus on student leadership that Lane is especially proud of. “Our kids are incredible,” he said. “They mentor younger students, run a leadership summit for grades 1-8, and just show up every day ready to lead. I’ll miss them the most.” Lane and his wife, Lisa, have two sons—both Mill Creek grads. Dylan teaches special education in Pennsylvania, and Brady is a freshman football player at Grove City College. As for what’s next? Lane isn’t sure yet. “I don’t know what the next chapter holds,” he said. “But I know how lucky I’ve been—especially here at Mill Creek. This place is special.” STORY 7: Gwinnett senator running for Georgia insurance commissioner The race for Georgia insurance commissioner just got a shakeup—and a Gwinnett County connection. State Sen. Nabilah Islam Parkes announced last week she’s running for the statewide office instead of seeking re-election. First elected in 2022, Parkes is stepping into the race with a clear focus: lowering insurance costs. Parkes has called for an investigation into industry practices, accusing incumbent John King of protecting companies over consumers. “You deserve someone who fights for you,” she said. We’ll have closing comments after this Break 4: GCPL Passport Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today’s Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast.

Y los alpinistas dan la vida por subir algo mucho peor: un camino lleno de nieve, rocas, avalanchas, acantilados y un frío que congela hasta la médula ósea.La llamada «zona de la muerte» se refiere a los metros finales que pasan los 8 mil metros de altura. Un alpinista con fuerte resistencia física no puede pasar más de 72 horas en esas condiciones. La exposición de cualquier parte del cuerpo a un frío así resultaría en congelamiento inmediato. Allá arriba, el aire denso equivale al 30% de lo que nuestro cuerpo necesita para sobrevivir en condiciones normales. El lugar es tan inestable que los cadáveres de quienes pierden la vida en este tramo no se rescatan y se dejan para siempre en la nieve. Y los últimos pasos hasta la cumbre del Everest se dan en un sendero blanco que parece el «fila de una navaja» en la que el atleta camina sobre un acantilado de caída libre de cada lado: 2.400 metros de precipicio a la izquierda y 3.050 metros a la derecha. Finalmente, al llegar a la cumbre, queda poco tiempo para el descenso, antes de que llegue la noche mortal.Vivimos en una zona entre la vida y la muerte desde que el pecado deformó los planes de Dios. Las tentaciones y trampas amenazan el éxito del ser humano. El río jaboc, el monte Sinaí, el estómago del gran pez y el Getsemciní fueron momentos trascendentales en los que la supervivencia pasó su máxima prueba. Todos salieron vencedores: Ja b, Moisés, jonás y Jesús. Solo resta que tú cuentes con Dios para enfrentar los últimos pasos de la vida de este mundo. ¡Mantente firme! Busca a Dios de rodillas. iNo te rindas!Y, cuando llegues al cielo, ya no necesitarás volver a bajar, Por lo tanto, ¡sigue adelante en este día!

    Episode 219 of The Adventure Podcast features adventure journalist and research scientist, Ash Routen. Ash has written for Explorers Web, Nat Geo, Outside, The Guardian, Sidetracked, Red Bull, and UKC, among many others. This episode is a thoughtful and refreshingly critical debate of sorts. Matt and Ash dive into the evolving world of adventure to ask difficult questions about the expeditions of today. What still counts as pioneering? What has become routine? How should adventure be reported and celebrated in an era where almost anyone can step into the outdoors? They explore the complexity of modern expedition culture, from Everest tourism to ocean rowing, from ethnicity and gender representation to the role of guiding and commercialisation. They tackle the tension between personal achievement and genuine exploration, reflect on how the public engages with stories of risk, endurance and “firsts", and most importantly, discuss why critical voices are needed in adventure journalism. They also shine a light on some lesser known adventures and adventurers. Its a deep dive into ethics, meaning, media, and what progress looks like.For extra insights from the worlds of adventure, exploration and the natural world, you can find The Adventure Podcast+ community on Substack. You can also follow along and join in on Instagram @‌theadventurepodcast.Chapter Breakdown:Matt sets the scene inside the Expedition Reports Room and explains why he has wanted to interview Ash for years.Ash outlines why adventure is flourishing publicly, yet diluted at the cutting edge.They discuss why criticism isn't about tearing people down, but about clarity around what moves adventure forward.Ash argues that adventure lacks critical analysis compared to politics and sport, and explains why objectivity is essential.A deep look at decolonising adventure: class, ethnicity, gender, and why equal reporting isn't always the same as equal achievement.Matt and Ash explore why some achievements gain headlines while more technical, groundbreaking climbs go unnoticed.Ash describes his criteria for covering expeditions: difficulty, remoteness, logistics, and why lesser-known stories matter.Why feats like Everest climbs or Atlantic rows no longer awe the way they once did.Matt questions the value of guided “fast-track” climbing and why apprenticeship and experience still matter.Ash reflects on climbing heroes, style, and the emotional contrast between historic firsts and today's model of adventure.A discussion on media digestion- why technical nuance gets lost and why bold headlines win.Ash and Matt unpack how accidents and viral stories distort public understanding of adventure culture.They discuss responsibility, storytelling, and how the community can protect authenticity moving forward.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-adventure-podcast.

    The physician and health-policy veteran lays out six "simple" rules for a long, healthy life, arguing that most wellness advice fails by demanding perfection—and that moderation, sociability, and routines matter more than optimization. He gets data-nerdy on risk (Everest versus skydiving), alcohol as social lubricant, and why "good" ice cream can fit into a sane diet. Plus, a look at the Trump administration's politically self-sabotaging response to the Minneapolis ICE shooting—and a detour through the seized "ghost fleet" tanker Marinera (formerly Bella 1), the kind of ship that survives by constantly changing its identity.
