On this episode of the Passive Income Playbook, Pascal Wagner interviews Joel Friedland, a veteran industrial real estate investor and founder of Brit Properties. Joel shares his journey from cold-calling tenant leads in the 1980s to building a 100+ property portfolio—all purchased without using debt. He explains the appeal and stability of Class B industrial buildings in the Chicago market, his strategy of selling to users rather than investors for premium pricing, and the importance of investing with operators who prioritize safety and long-term thinking. Joel also offers a grounded take on reshoring trends, cautioning that labor shortages—not tariffs—will be the limiting factor for a U.S. manufacturing boom.

In this episode, Dori Lewis, MA, MEd, LPC-S discusses the common myths and misconceptions surrounding psilocybin for healing. Dori is a psychotherapist, co-founder of Elemental Psychedelics, and owner of Reflective Healing in Fort Collins, CO, who specializes in psychedelic-assisted therapy, blending transpersonal psychology with spiritual practices. With experience facilitating ketamine sessions and training clinicians, she advocates for ethical standards in psychedelic medicine while championing a feminine-centered approach to facilitator training. The first myth that Dori addresses in this conversation is the idea that it is the psilocybin mushroom itself that does all the healing work. Contrary to this common misconception, Dori suggests that it is the client's own initiative working in tandem with the mushroom that really spurs healing. She also emphasizes that there are not any set protocols for how often psilocybin should be taken for healing, instead suggesting that clients should be guided to attune to their own internal intuition to determine when a psilocybin journey may be particularly helpful.  Another misconception Dori addresses is that healing with psilocybin can occur without causing deep transformations in one's identity or shifts in one's worldview. She suggests facilitators must be very transparent about these possible impacts to best prepare clients for these kinds of major changes that psilocybin can catalyze. In closing, Dori reiterates that clients should be supported and prepared to encounter intense emotional experiences with psilocybin, as some of the most difficult psychedelic journeys can actually be the most healing.   In this episode, you'll hear: The biggest myths and misconceptions Dori encounters working with clients in her practice The importance of a relational understanding of psychedelic healing The specific types of trauma where psilocybin may be a particularly effective healing modality  The training for psilocybin facilitators in Colorado under the Natural Medicines Program and the importance of scope of practice Why some people's mental health gets worse before it gets better following a psilocybin experience What can cause lack of response to psilocybin therapy and how better preparation can often mitigate this   Quotes: “Mushrooms are amazing and they can help us in our healing journey. But they are one tool in a mosaic of other tools that we can use to help ourselves heal and grow and change.” [6:54] “I don't really know where this message came from—that mushrooms cure PTSD—but that is a huge myth. They can help—with certain types of trauma within the context of a healthy therapeutic relationship with a skilled provider, yes, at times when it is right. But ultimately the best medicine for trauma is going to be MDMA—and ketamine.” [18:18] “It is the responsibility of providers and facilitators to inform clients of the realistic expectations they should have for their [psychedelic] journeys—and that is also an ethical need and something that facilitators need to consider through an ethical lens.” [25:20] “There's a lot to be said about the unique ways that mushrooms express through our bodies and through our minds and through our hearts that give us information about where we are at and where we need to work or continue to work in order to access the healing we so desire.” [37:34]   Links: Dori on LinkedIn Elemental Psychedelics on LinkedIn Elemental Psychedelics website   Previous episode: Integrating Challenging Psychedelic Experiences with Keith Kurlander, MA Previous episode: The Challenging Psychedelic Experiences Project with Jules Evans Previous episode: The Dangers of "Ayahuasca Told Me…" with Jerónimo Mazarrasa Psychedelic Medicine Association Porangui

In this episode of To The Root, Robyn Spangler takes a deep dive into one of the most controversial—and commonly misunderstood—topics in skin health: iodine and its connection to acne.For decades, iodine has been viewed with suspicion in the acne community, often blamed for breakouts and inflammation. But is the science really that clear-cut? Robyn unpacks the history behind iodine's bad reputation, including the impact of flawed mid-20th century research and the rise of halogen competitors like bromide and fluoride that may be complicating the picture.Drawing from clinical experience, current physiological understanding, and the limitations of conventional testing, Robyn explains how iodine—when used properly and alongside companion nutrients—can actually play a key role in improving skin, supporting thyroid function, aiding detoxification, and regulating hormones.If you've been told to avoid iodine-rich foods or are curious about how this essential nutrient might be impacting your skin, this episode offers a much-needed, evidence-informed perspective.Curious if iodine is a missing piece in your skin health puzzle? Discover how personalized testing and clinical insight can help uncover the root causes of your breakouts.Get root cause answers with data - check out our Acne Labs Panel!Highlights:How outdated research and anecdotal claims have led to widespread misinformation.Understanding how iodine interacts with bromide, fluoride, and chlorine at the cellular level—and why this matters for skin health.Why selenium, magnesium, and vitamin C are essential when considering iodine supplementation.The lesser-known ways iodine contributes to hormonal regulation and histamine metabolism.Comparing iodine intake and thyroid health trends in the U.S. versus countries like Japan, where iodine consumption is significantly higherHow The Clear Skin Lab assesses iodine status safely and effectively using comprehensive lab work.Connect with Robyn:Instagram: @nutritionbyrobyn Website: https://www.theclearskinlab.com

These three previously recorded videos from Coach Karena are must-watches for content creators.Posting frequency alone won't boost visibility; focus on strategic positioning & meaningful engagement instead. Avoid common mistakes like sharing only facts without insights, which attracts non-action-taking 'content hoarders'. Shift audience beliefs to inspire action by emphasizing the costs of inaction.Implement a three-part visibility formula: 1) Clear positioning & messaging, 2) Engagement-driven content to spark discussion, 3) Prioritize quality & consistency over sheer volume. Daily posting isn't necessary; quality relationships outweigh follower counts for generating sales. Target 3-4 impactful posts weekly.Engagement requires proactive interaction from creators—engage with audience to receive engagement in return. Analyze input from DMs, comments, and competitor content to understand audience needs. Focus on active platforms where your audience enjoys participating.

In this episode of More Than Commas, we dive deep into the Scriptures to explore what the Bible actually teaches about debt. From Proverbs to Paul, we examine the verses often quoted by Christian financial voices like Dave Ramsey—and contrast them with a broader biblical framework of stewardship, responsibility, and generosity. Is borrowing a sin? Or is the real issue the intent and ability to repay? Tune in as we challenge popular zero-debt theology, uncover surprising insights from the Parable of the Talents and the Widow's Oil, and offer a more faithful, nuanced view of Christian finance. Whether you're a believer or just curious, this episode brings clarity to a hot-button topic.   --   This Material is Intended for General Public Use.

In Week 2 of our "Marriage Myths" series, Hope Collective's Erin McGinn challenges the prevailing notion that a meaningful life, especially within faith communities, is incomplete without marriage.

Chris speaks with researcher and author Ross Downing about his book Germanic and Slavic Paganism: Security Threats and Resiliency. Ross, who works with a network of scholars and specialists focused on minority religions and extremism, explores how modern pagan traditions, particularly those rooted in Germanic and Slavic identity, are increasingly weaponized by extremist movements on both sides of the Ukraine War. From the myth of the warrior ideal to the role of neo-paganism in Russian special forces and the Azov movement, Ross unpacks the ideological messiness, spiritual camouflage, and social vulnerabilities that make these belief systems ripe for radicalization. They also discuss the “folkish vs. inclusive” divide, the algorithm's role in spreading conspiratorial spirituality, and why mainstream institutions need to step up—not just to contain extremism, but to support resilient, non-violent expressions of cultural identity.

I apologize in advance that this is perhaps the saddest story that I've ever told on The Folktale Project. Han Christian Andersen's 'The Story of a Mother' begins sadly and ends sadly with a bit of melancholy in the middle. Trigger warning - the story begins with the death of a child.

Have you ever heard someone say, “Only people with a problem with alcohol stop drinking” or “Life without wine is so boring”? Yeah. Me too. The truth is, there are a lot of flat-out lies floating around about what sobriety is really like—and if you've been scared to take a break from drinking, chances are you've believed at least one of them. I know I did. But here's the truth: most of the stories we tell ourselves about what life without alcohol would look like... they're just that. Stories. Myths. Outdated assumptions passed down by a drinking culture that tells us wine is self-care and tequila is confidence in a bottle. In this week's episode of The Hello Someday Podcast, I'm joined by Karolina Rzadkowolska—certified alcohol-free life coach and author of Euphoric: Ditch Alcohol and Gain a Happier, More Confident You—to call B.S. on 10 of the most common myths about sobriety.
