You might be hearing the word "cyclospora" a lot more lately as the number of cases in this nationwide parasite outbreak continues to rise.

This week, Nichole talks with Dr. Zoe Weiss, the director of Clinical Microbiology at Tufts Medical Center in Boston, to learn how significant our risk really is and get educated about this tiny parasite that's causing some big problems.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#309EPC rules for UK landlords are changing from October 2026 — and a recent Nationwide report found that 67% of landlords have no idea it's coming.This episode is here to make sure you're not in that 67%.Energy Performance Certificates are about to get a major overhaul in England and Wales, and if you're a remote landlord managing UK property from abroad, these changes affect what you can rent, what you must upgrade, and how much it could cost you.To break it all down, I'm joined by Tim Kampel of Box Property Solutions, who has spent nearly two decades doing EPCs day in, day out — as a domestic, commercial and retrofit assessor, and as a property investor himself.Tim explains the new four-metric EPC system arriving in October 2026, which will score properties separately on fabric performance, heating system, energy cost, and smart readiness — replacing the single headline rating landlords are used to.We cover the exemptions being removed, so heritage properties, HMOs where even a single room is let, and short-term rentals will all need a valid EPC.We get into the big one: the requirement for most privately rented UK properties to reach EPC band C by 2030, with a £10,000 per-property spending cap.Tim also gives an honest reality check on why EPC deadlines keep shifting, how the rules are being used as a political bargaining chip, and why "proposed" doesn't mean you can afford to ignore them.And crucially for overseas landlords, Tim shares the single most important takeaway of the whole episode: under the new regime, you have to be able to prove everything — without evidence, the work simply won't count.Please note this episode focuses on England and Wales; Scotland has its own EPC rules.Check out our shorts on YouTubeOur WhatsApp  groupProperty Engine discounts (Code: EXPAT)Starter: 30 day trialPro: 30 day trial/3 mths 1/2 price, Ultimate: 1/2 price 3 monthsGoalsettingLeave a review37 Question Due Diligence Checklist / Auction GuideOur Sponsors: Finnigan McNeill Property GroupWhat you'll learn:The new four-metric EPC system coming to England and Wales in October 2026, and what each metric measures.Which EPC exemptions are being removed, and why heritage homes, HMOs and short-term lets are now caught.What the EPC band C by 2030 requirement means for UK landlords, and how the £10,000 spending cap works.Why EPC deadlines keep getting pushed back, and how to plan around rules that aren't yet law.The order EPC improvements should be tackled in, from fabric-first insulation to heating systems, and when that advice isn't practical.Why a recent software change has pushed some properties up to a C rating automatically, and why it's worth getting reassessed.How solar could become one of the smartest ways for landlords, especially HMO owners, to raise a rating and cut running costs.Guest: Tim Kampel of Box Property Solutions — a domestic, commercial and retrofit EPC assessor with nearly twenty years' experience, and a property investor himself.If you own or plan to buy UK rental property, understanding these EPC changes now — rather than in 2029 — could save you thousands and keep your properties legally lettable.

Apptley Health Technologies CEO Dr. Paula Muto joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's direct-pay healthcare marketplace, nationwide physician network, and recently announced partnership with Emphera Health. Formerly known as Uber Doc, Apptly has built a platform that enables patients to quickly find nearby physicians and book appointments using a transparent cash-pay model, helping improve access to specialty and definitive care outside the traditional insurance system. “We just need to get a patient in front of a physician that is specialized and learned to be able to solve their problem,” Muto said. What began as a small network of physicians has expanded to all 50 U.S. states and now spans every medical specialty. Muto said the marketplace promotes faster access to care while giving patients greater price transparency and more healthcare choices. The interview also highlighted Apptly's recent Canadian Securities Exchange listing under the ticker APPT, which management believes will increase the company's visibility, improve access to capital, and support future expansion into U.S. public markets. Apptly's new partnership with Emphera Health is expected to connect its physician marketplace with employer-sponsored and self-insured healthcare plans, helping employees locate specialist care while providing employers with greater cost transparency. Patients requiring surgery can also transition into Emphera's bundled-price outpatient surgical network. Muto said the partnership could add thousands of physicians to Apptly's growing network, while additional doctors are expected to join through the company's existing occupational health relationships. Looking ahead, Apptly is exploring opportunities to expand its marketplace into emerging healthcare segments including longevity, diagnostics, and therapeutics, further broadening its technology-enabled healthcare platform. #proactiveinvestors #apptlyhealthtechnologies #paulamuto #cse #appt #HealthTech #DigitalHealth #Telehealth #HealthcareInnovation #DirectPayHealthcare #MedicalTechnology #CSE #PatientCare #HealthcareAccess

Orla Minihane shares how protests erupted in her quiet Essex community after 135 unvetted asylum-seeking men were moved into the Bell Hotel near several schools. She explains how a sexual assault on a 14-year-old girl became a turning point, leading local mothers — including herself — to form the Pink Ladies movement.  Wearing pink to reframe the protests as a safeguarding issue rather than a political one, the group quickly spread to hotel protests across the country.  Orla discusses the media backlash, the personal threats faced by the women involved, and her journey from local activism into politics — from joining Reform UK to supporting Rupert Lowe and Restore Britain.  A candid conversation about women's and children's safety, mass immigration, cultural integration, and political accountability. Orla Minihane is a London-born mother of three living in Essex, near Epping. She became a prominent voice in the UK's grassroots protest movement after local concerns over asylum seekers being housed in the Bell Hotel near schools escalated following a sexual assault on a 14-year-old girl. Orla helped establish the Pink Ladies — a women-led safeguarding group that began wearing pink to reframe protests as a matter of protecting children and communities. The movement has since spread to hotel protests across the country. She is a vocal advocate for women's and children's safety, immigration reform, and cultural preservation. Orla previously stood as a candidate with Reform UK and now supports Rupert Lowe and Restore Britain. Connect with Orla and Restore Britain...

The Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 3 (6.26) We kick off with the great weather fail temps were "supposed" to hit 100 degrees in the Valley — triple digits all week — but the TV news blew it BIG, off by a stunning 55 degrees over the week. Then we turn to the celebration the whole country is buzzing about: the Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce wedding, officially America's Royal Wedding. The New York Times reports Swift has rented Madison Square Garden from July 2 through July 4, with an intimate gathering of about 100 people on July 2 and a bigger celebration of around 1,000 guests over the holiday weekend.

While grocery store birds have seen some price creep, many bulk retailers and major supermarkets still heavily subsidize them to keep prices low.

What does it take to see a problem so clearly you simply cannot walk away from it? For Sherri Combs, it happened in a swimming pool — and in one moment, she saw the entire vision for Silver Streak Senior Services: the logo, the framework, the platform. All of it, fully formed.Sherri is an award-winning entrepreneur, bestselling author, and senior advocate who spent a decade as a private banker watching seniors and their families navigate a fragmented, fraud-riddled landscape with no trusted guide. Scams were everywhere. Referral lists went stale. Lead-selling platforms turned vulnerable people into targets. Families in crisis were Googling their way through one of the most vulnerable moments of their lives — and finding confusion instead of help.So, she built something different. A nationwide vetted platform connecting seniors, caregivers, and the businesses that serve them with honesty, integrity, and heart. Every business on Silver Streak has passed criminal background checks, licensing and insurance verification, and reputation reviews. No shortcuts. No lead selling. No compromising the people she built this for.Three developers told her it couldn't be done. She sat down, learned to code, and proved them wrong.And she didn't stop there. Sherri also founded the Silver Streak Foundation — a nonprofit dedicated to fraud awareness and prevention education for senior communities nationwide. She delivers training through senior centers, Rotary clubs, and community organizations, teaching seniors and caregivers how to recognize and stop scams before they cause harm.In this episode we cover:The swimming pool moment when the entire vision arrived at once — logo, framework, and allWhy the current way we search for senior services is fragmented, broken, and dangerousHow Silver Streak vets every business on the platform: background checks, licensing, insurance, and reputation reviewsThree web developers, one determined founder, and what she did when they said it couldn't be builtHer four-step Silver Streak It framework for scam protection: Pause, Verify, Reach Out, DeleteThe Just In Case Plan: why aging planning matters as much as estate planning — and the conversation every family needs to have before the crisis hitsHow Silver Streak is funded: membership fees as low as $1 for seniors, free for veterans and first responders, with proceeds donated to the nonprofitThe seven-phase vision for where Silver Streak is going — and why she's not waiting to get started3 Things You'll Take AwayYour vision is your protection. Three developers told Sherri it couldn't be done. Her clarity about what she was building — and her refusal to settle for anything less — is what kept her moving. When you know what you're building and why, obstacles become detours, not dead ends.Integrity is a business model. Silver Streak isn't free to list on because free platforms can't be trusted. The vetting process is the product. When safety and trust are your differentiators, you build differently — and that's exactly the point.Plan for the aging, not just the dying. Most families have a funeral plan. Very few have an aging plan. The Just In Case Plan fills that gap — and the conversation Sherri teaches us to have is one every family needs.Connect with Sherri: silverstreakseniorservices.com | Facebook: Don't Fall for It!

Today marks Your Council Day 2026, a national campaign highlighting the vital role local authorities play in supporting communities and delivering services that people rely on every day.   Here in Clare, the County Council employs more than 1,000 staff and provides over 1,000 services, many of which happen behind the scenes but have a real impact on daily life.   To give us an insight into some of that work, Alan Morrissey was joined by three members of Clare County Council staff: Communications Officer Claire Gallagher, Age Friendly Development Officer Shanelle Waring, and Tourism, Festivals and Events Graduate and Clare Fire Service Firefighter Daragh Ryan.   They told him about their roles and the part they play in supporting communities across the county.

Lord Roy Hattersley, the former Deputy Leader of the Labour party. He was born and brought up in Sheffield. In his book A Yorkshire Boyhood, he confessed to being passionate about three things: Sheffield Wednesday Football Club, Yorkshire County Cricket and socialist politics. His friend and colleague, Lord Kinnock, pays tribute.Daphne Hamilton-Fairley, spoke out for tolerance after her husband was killed by an IRA bomb. He had inspired her to become a speech therapist and after his death she set up one of the first specialist schools for dyslexia and other special educational needs. She named it Fairley House, after her husband. Her daughter Diana Hamilton-Fairley shares her memories.Roger Cook was the intrepid investigative journalist who pioneered the technique known as “doorstepping” - challenging those he suspected of wrongdoing face to face with the camera or tape recorder running. First on Radio 4's consumer affairs programme Checkpoint and then on ITV's The Cook Report he took on criminals and fraudsters on behalf of listeners and viewers. Matthew talks to his colleague Tim Tate.Sterling Betancourt was a pioneer of steel pan music from Trinidad and Tobago. He was one of the first to bring the instrument to Britain in the 1950s and went on to play a big role in the early days of the Notting Hill Carnival.

On May 12, 2026, we produced a 90-minute webinar in which we explored one of the most important and rapidly developing issues in consumer financial services law: coerced debt and the emerging legislative efforts designed to address it. The webinar has been re-purposed into a two-part podcast series, the first of which was released this past Thursday, June 11th, and the second of which is being released today, Thursday, June 18th. Alan Kaplinsky, Founder, former Chair for 25 years and now Senior Counsel of the Consumer Financial Services Group at Ballard Spahr, LLP hosted and moderated this discussion. The discussion examines the growing recognition that individuals, often survivors of domestic violence, elder abuse, human trafficking, or other forms of coercive control, can be manipulated, threatened, or deceived into incurring debt without meaningful consent. The program focuses in particular on New York's newly enacted coerced debt statute, which creates a framework allowing consumers to challenge the enforceability of debts incurred through coercion and requires creditors and debt collectors to investigate such claims. This topic was covered in Part 1. The episodes feature an outstanding panel of experts from academia, legal services organizations, consumer advocacy groups, and private practice. Professor Angela Littwin of the University of Texas School of Law discusses her groundbreaking research on coerced debt, including empirical studies demonstrating the prevalence of the problem and the inadequacy of traditional legal remedies such as divorce proceedings, bankruptcy, and fraud defenses. Representatives from CAMBA Legal Services, Brooklyn, New York, Divya Subramanyam and Naomi Young, explain how the New York statute is intended to operate in practice, including the evidentiary requirements imposed on survivors, creditor obligations upon receipt of a coerced debt claim, and the practical challenges survivors face in seeking relief. Part 2 of the program being released today begins with a discussion of the broader national landscape. Carla Sanchez-Adams of the National Consumer Law Center discusses similar legislative initiatives developing across the country, including laws enacted in states such as California, Texas, Connecticut, Minnesota, Maine, Illinois, and Vermont, as well as pending legislation elsewhere.  Carla and the panel further analyze the interaction between coerced debt claims and existing federal laws such as the Fair Credit Reporting Act and Truth in Lending Act, while also addressing ongoing efforts to expand federal protections. Finally, Ballard Spahr attorney, Dan Wilkinson, offers an industry perspective on the significant operational and compliance issues created by these laws for banks, finance companies, debt collectors, and other financial institutions. The discussion highlights the challenges of identifying coerced debt claims, conducting investigations while protecting survivor confidentiality, training frontline personnel, and balancing consumer protection concerns with fraud prevention and risk management obligations. Consumer Finance Monitor is hosted by Alan Kaplinsky, Senior Counsel at Ballard Spahr, and the founder and former chair of the firm's Consumer Financial Services Group. We encourage listeners to subscribe to the podcast on their preferred platform for weekly insights into developments in the consumer finance industry.

   Argentina's soccer star Lionel Messi had a match for the ages Tuesday night at Arrowhead as he started quickly with a goal that was taken away by an offside call.  So he proceded to score three more!   All three in the match to be accurate as Argentina and it's 50,000 or so fans at Arrowhead went wild watching a 3-0 win over Algeria.  It was spectacular.  But how many Kansas Citians were there remains a bit of a mystery and doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things.  KC residents turned out everywhere Tuesday for free fan events and watch parties and we're clearly finding our stride.    There were shots of some empty seats at Arrowhead even though 500 million people were watching on tv globally, and a Sports Illustrated writer posted a screenshot from a ticket service two hours before the start that had tickets for $69.  We cover all the stories, all over the country on today's episode.    The Big 12's lawsuit filed against Ken Paxton and Texas Tech was just a stone cold killer.  The suit had nothing to do with the gambling quarterback, wait until you hear what their rock star law firm dialed up for the conference.    President Trump stars at the G7 and touts peace, low oil prices and a skyrocketing stock market.  Then he just hammers Obama.    JD Vance's book tour is not going well.  It's not a disaster but I just don't understand what he's doing right now.  The annual fast food customer service rankings are out and for the first time in over a decade, Chik Fil A is not the winner.    And our Final Final is a new report on the astounding growth of podcast listening in America.

If you've ever wondered what your insurance agency is really worth in today's market, and whether now is the right time to sell, this episode cuts straight to the chase. Brandon Schuh and Nick Hartmann sit down with two sharp industry voices: Varada Bhat, Senior Correspondent at the Financial Times' P&C Specialist, and James Graham, Managing Director at MarshBerry, the nation's leading M&A advisory firm for insurance brokerages. Together, they untangle the intersection of AI disruption, carrier strategy, and brokerage valuations in what is shaping up to be one of the most pivotal moments in the history of independent insurance distribution.Varada Bhat opens the conversation with a ground-level view of where the personal lines market stands today, transitioning out of a hard market cycle, into a softer, more competitive landscape where carrier retention has become the new growth strategy. She digs into State Farm's sweeping workforce realignment, the broader shift away from the captive agent model across carriers like Allstate and Nationwide, and how AI is splitting the industry into two camps: those stuck in pilot mode and those already deploying agentic AI across claims and operations. The critical takeaway? Underwriting discipline and customer service still matter more than any algorithm.James Graham follows with the kind of inside-baseball analysis you can only get from someone doing valuation work every single day. He breaks down why private brokerage multiples have held steady even as public broker valuations dropped more than 20% from their March 2025 peak, and why that divergence makes sense. He lays out what buyers are really paying for right now (organic growth, scale, and retention), why the softening market is the real driver of multiple compression, not AI, and why the fundamentals of the insurance brokerage business remain among the strongest of any industry. For agency owners wondering whether to sell now or wait, his perspective is a must-hear.Chapters00:00 Introduction 04:47 Varada Bhat Interview Begins: P&C Market Overview06:28 Carrier Retention as the New Growth Strategy07:24 AI in Insurance: Pilot Phase vs. Deployed Reality09:48 State Farm, Allstate & the Decline of Captive Agents11:55 AI Automation: Simple vs. Complex Insurance Products14:22 Lemonade, Root & the Insuretech Valuation Reality Check16:55 Geico Hires Goldman Sachs CMO: UX and Millennial Strategy19:47 AI Regulation in Insurance: NAIC Guidelines & State Laws21:33 Who's Best Positioned to Win the AI Era?24:40 Personal Cyber Policies & Consumer Data Privacy26:23 Insurance Affordability as a Political Issue32:29 James Graham Interview Begins: MarshBerry Origin Story34:35 Public vs. Private Broker Valuation Divergence39:16 What Buyers Are Really Looking For Today: Organic Growth41:55 Private Equity Activity: Strategic vs. Dry Powder Deals43:58 EBITDA Multiples: Are 11-12x the New Normal?46:06 Debt Leverage, Hold Times & PE Exit Bottlenecks48:02 AI's Role in Brokerage Multiple Compression50:10 Revenue Per Employee & the AI Productivity Argument52:58 Regulation as Insurance's AI Moat55:26 Client Retention Post-Acquisition: What Really Drives It57:48 2026–2027 Outlook: Will Big Blockbuster Deals Continue?Connect with RiskCellar:Website: https://www.riskcellar.com/James GrahamWebsite: https://www.marshberry.com/about/our-team/james-graham/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/james-graham-b91a5214Varada BhatLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/varada-bhatBrandon 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/

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Kevin Cohee.Title: Owner, Chairman & CEO of OneUnited BankHost: Rushion McDonaldPodcast: Money Making Conversations Masterclass Kevin Cohee discusses the mission, history, and future of OneUnited Bank, the largest Black‑owned bank and the first Black‑owned internet bank in the U.S. The conversation connects Black economic history, financial literacy, technology (AI), and wealth-building, positioning OneUnited Bank as a modern solution to long‑standing financial exclusion in Black and underserved communities. Purpose of the Interview The interview is designed to: Educate listeners on why Black-owned banks matter historically and economically. Explain how technology has transformed banking, making location irrelevant. Address financial exclusion, particularly reliance on check-cashing services. Promote financial literacy as the foundation of wealth creation. Position OneUnited Bank as a practical, accessible tool for individuals, entrepreneurs, and communities to build equity. Key Themes & Takeaways 1. A Mission Rooted in Black History Kevin Cohee frames OneUnited Bank as part of a long historical vision, not a modern trend. Leaders such as Booker T. Washington, W.E.B. Du Bois, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. all advocated for a national Black-owned bank. Cohee’s own family legacy ties back to Black Wall Street in Tulsa, Oklahoma, including land ownership stemming from negotiated “40 acres and a mule” outcomes. Takeaway: Economic independence has always been central to Black progress. 2. From Brick-and-Mortar to Digital Banking OneUnited originally grew by acquiring small Black-owned banks nationwide. The bank pivoted early toward technology-driven banking, recognizing that: Customers expect 24/7 access Physical branches are no longer required Digital reach enables national—and global—impact Key insight: Technology allowed OneUnited to become a national Black bank without national branches. 3. Financial Technology Built for Real-Life Problems Kevin Cohee emphasizes that OneUnited designs products around how people actually live, not just traditional banking norms. Examples include: Second-chance checking accounts Emergency small-dollar loans Alternative credit criteria Nationwide surcharge-free ATM access AI-powered tools that help users understand: Cash flow Assets vs. liabilities Net worth (or debt) Financial decision-making in real time Takeaway: Banking should help people function—not punish them for past mistakes. 4. Financial Literacy Is the Real Wealth Gap Cohee states that 90% of Americans are financially illiterate, largely because: Financial literacy is not taught in K–12 education He compares this to not teaching reading—and then blaming people for illiteracy. OneUnited uses AI and data aggregation to help customers make expert-level decisions without being experts. Key message: Financial literacy, not income alone, determines long-term wealth. 5. Ending Dependence on Check-Cashing Services Kevin sharply criticizes high-fee check-cashing businesses that dominate underserved neighborhoods. OneUnited offers digital check deposits, debit cards, and ATM access—removing the need for physical branches. Anyone, anywhere in the U.S., can bank with OneUnited via oneunited.com. Takeaway: Lack of access is no longer an excuse—awareness is the missing link. 6. Technology as the New “40 Acres” Kevin draws a powerful parallel: Land ownership was once the primary source of wealth. Technology and financial literacy are today’s equivalents. Entrepreneurs no longer need to manufacture products—branding, distribution, and digital reach are the new leverage. Key insight: Technology levels the playing field—if people understand how to use it. 7. Mandatory Financial Literacy as a Policy Solution Kevin advocates for required financial literacy courses in all U.S. schools. He cites research showing: One required high-school financial literacy course can generate $100,000+ in lifetime net worth per student. He frames this as a matter of equity, not preference. Takeaway: Systemic problems require systemic solutions. Notable Quotes “The concept of a national Black-owned bank goes all the way back to slavery.” “We’re not behind in technology—we are the party.” “Ninety percent of Americans are not financially literate.” “You don’t have to go to check cashers and get ripped off.” “Technology is the new 40 acres.” “Financial literacy alone can generate over $100,000 in net worth per person.” “There has never been a better time to build a business than right now.” Overall Impact This interview is both a financial masterclass and a historical lesson. Kevin Cohee reframes banking as a tool of empowerment, not just transactions, and positions OneUnited Bank as: A modern solution to historic exclusion A technology-first institution built for underserved communities A catalyst for financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and wealth creation Final message: Access + education + technology can finally close the racial wealth gap—if people choose to engage. #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

1. Government Fraud Crackdown (Trump/Vance Initiative) The administration is prioritizing eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse in federal programs. A federal fraud task force claims: 186,000+ deceased individuals are still receiving SNAP (food stamp) benefits via identity fraud. 400,000+ people are allegedly receiving duplicate benefits (“double dipping”). Its a taxpayer protection effort with stronger enforcement expected. 2. Policy Actions and Consequences Threats to withhold Medicaid funding from states that fail to investigate fraud. Proposal for stronger penalties (e.g., jail, loss of benefits), though current deterrence is described as weak. Politically positioned as a major accountability push tied to reducing government spending. 3. Hospice and Healthcare Fraud Allegations Major focus on California (Los Angeles): Claim: a disproportionate number of hospices located there (about one-third nationwide). Allegation: up to half may be fraudulent. Actions taken: 800 hospices suspended, cutting off ~$1.4 billion in payments. Nationwide moratorium on new hospice and home health care licenses. Rationale: Fraud operations allegedly relocate to other states when cracked down locally. 4. Political Divide Republican perspective: Fraud crackdown is necessary and widely supported by voters. Seen as long-overdue accountability. Democratic criticism: Concerns about overreach, rushed investigations, and harm to legitimate services. Public sentiment (per the document): Broad agreement that fraud should be eliminated regardless of party. 5. CIA Whistleblower Allegations (COVID Origins) A whistleblower claims: CIA scientists initially favored a lab-leak theory for COVID-19. The official position shifted to “inconclusive/neutral.” Accusation: Anthony Fauci influenced intelligence discussions and expert selection. His involvement may have shaped the narrative away from the lab-leak conclusion. Evidence cited: Meetings and communications in 2020–2021. Internal disagreements within intelligence agencies. 6. Conflict of Interest Concerns Raised in questioning: Fauci allegedly had connections to Wuhan-related research funding. Concern he may not have been an objective contributor. Whistleblower suggests: Influence was indirect but significant, through shaping expert input. 7. Hearing Controversy No Democrats attended the Senate hearing with the whistleblower. Avoidance of scrutiny or accountability. Used to reinforce a broader narrative of political bias or cover-up. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
