This episode covers the key scientific drivers behind lab result variability, from instrument calibration down to field sampling practices. Understanding Reference Standards: How analytical instruments use commercially available reference standards to construct calibration curves for testing unknown samples. The Potency Variability Study: Insights from Cannabis ChemLab's study overlaying 35 different THCA standards, demonstrating how variance between standard manufacturers and product lots leads to drastic differences in reported THC percentages. The Mechanism of Potency Inflation: How calibration curves at the high end of concentration explain "impossible" lab results exceeding 100% cannabinoids in concentrates and diamonds. Neutral vs. Acidic Cannabinoids: Why acidic forms like THCA and CBDA present significantly more analytical variability in the lab compared to decarboxylated neutral forms found in edibles. Heavy Metals and Fertilizer Inputs: An in-depth discussion on ICP-MS heavy metal testing, identifying soil amendments like fishbone meal as a primary source of arsenic accumulation in living soil. Dispelling Marketing Claims: Why ocean-based inputs are not inherently cleaner than other fertilizers, and why growers must screen raw materials rather than relying on marketing claims. Agronomic Mitigation Strategies: How plant biology and strategic tissue management, such as utilizing older lower leaves as heavy metal sinks, can help keep heavy metals out of the final flower. Navigating Unexpected Results: Practical steps for cultivators when faced with surprising lab data, including when a flower batch warrants resampling versus when a process error has occurred.

Neil Lanctot turns to early 1915, when the Great War had stabilized into a brutal stalemate in Europe while Americaremained neutral under Wilson. Jane Addams, horrified by the massacre, organized the Women's Peace Party to act as a pressure group for peace. Her subsequent trip to Europe to meet with heads of state in Berlin, Paris, and London was a remarkable act of "amateur diplomacy," though her message was often distorted by hostile American newspapers. TRvehemently opposed her efforts, writing a public letter that derided the peace advocates as "foolish women" and argued they should focus on Belgian relief instead. While Addams navigated the complexities of international diplomacy, President Wilson became "obsessed" with Edith Bolling Galt following the death of his first wife. Wilson's intense courtship and eventual marriage in 1915 occurred privately, even as the world war began to encroach on American neutrality via German submarine warfare. (2)

Craig reviews another slow week across the crypto market, with Bitcoin continuing to struggle below $65,000 and most major coins trading sideways. He remains long Litecoin after a clean daily breakout and is watching for a possible pullback and bullish continuation. Ethereum showed slightly more strength, while Binance Coin, Cardano, Dogecoin, Solana, XRP, and Tron offered very little momentum. Bitcoin Cash was one of the weaker performers, falling roughly 10% over the week. With few strong trends available, Craig is focusing on higher-timeframe breakout setups in markets such as Injective and Ethereum Classic rather than forcing low-quality trades. His main message is patience: when conditions are this slow, traders should reduce activity, manage risk carefully, and wait for the market to provide better opportunities.Start your free 7-day trial of Market Intern at: https://marketintern.comSubscribe to Craig's free Tuesday newsletter at: https://www.thegrowmeco.comHappy Hodling, Everyone.

Kathryn Nave is a Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellow at the University of Edinburgh, and the author of the book A Drive to Survive: The Free Energy Principle and the Meaning of Life. In the book, Kate dives deep into the free energy principle and active inference, which are popular approaches to studying brains, minds, and organisms in general, and which are being used in artificial intelligence. Ultimately, Kate finds these approaches come up short as explanatory frameworks for life, and autonomy, and intelligence. Instead, Kate and many others advocate a framework that Kate calls constraint closure or closure of constraints, but also goes by the name organizational closure. This is a concept from philosophy and theoretical biology that people like Alvaro Moreno and Matteo Mossio have put forth in their 2015 book Biological Autonomy. The core ideas are also found in various forms from people like Robert Rosen, Stuart Kauffman, Alicia Juarrero, Terrence Deacon, and others. We discuss what constraint closure is, why Kate thinks it's a solid foundation to build on, and what if anything it means for cognitive science and brain sciences to embrace this constraint closure view. I highly recommend the book even if you're looking for a primer on the free energy principle and active inference. As we discuss, Kate's journalism experience has helped her become a wonderful communicator of these notoriously difficult concepts. Kathryn Nave @kathrynnave; @kathrynnave.eurosky.social.

If you've been following the 2026 World Cup, you've obviously seen the football, but you've also probably seen a lot of Donald Trump. The US President made himself part of the tournament after FIFA President Gianni Infantino awarded him the organisation's first-ever "Peace Prize" in December. Fast forward to the Folarin Balogun decision, where one phone call from Trump was enough to reverse a red card on a US player. Fans, coaches, and lawmakers called it a clear breach of FIFA's political neutrality. To many people, the way politics is impacting the game might seem new, but has it ever really been any different? We discuss this on BFM 89.9 with James M. Dorsey, adjunct senior fellow at the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies and one of the most-cited voices on sport and politics.

The popular image of quantum computers is the sparkling "chandelier" of the superconducting approach, but this next episode in our Quantum CEO series looks neutral atom quantum computers. Quantum analyst Ellie Brown returns to the podcast to join Andy Ory, the CEO of QuEra, to discuss their approach, the benefits of practical fault tolerant qubits and the advantages of quantum hubs that may have a dearth of beer with host Eric Hanselman. Neutral atom systems don't require the ultra-low operating temperatures used for superconduction. They stabilize the atoms they're using with lasers that still their motion. That free space setting allows simpler interaction between larger numbers of qubits that improves scaling of quantum computations. Stability reduces error rates and can improve the effectiveness of quantum error correction. Quantum computing has become a very buzzy topic, with IPO's and major funding announcements. There is growth of the supporting ecosystems around quantum application development, with software tools and cloud-based services offerings that are expanding access. The greatest challenge is the supply of a quantum workforce that can put quantum capabilities to work. Systems doing optimization approaches, like quantum annealing, are here today. The date for the availability of general purpose, practical quantum computers keeps getting closer. Some have said 2030 might be a target date and QuEra is talking about delivering their next-generation system in 2028. It's time to be getting quantum-literate today!

This week on a special reactionary episode of the New Zealand Property Market Podcast, Head of Research Nick Goodall and Chief Economist Kelvin Davidson dissect the RBNZ's unanimous decision to hike the Official Cash Rate (OCR) from 2.25% to 2.5%.Despite a fracturing market consensus on Monday, the Monetary Policy Committee voted with total consensus to remove some economic accommodation. We break down the structural reasons behind the hike, including the RBNZ's strategic pushback against recent easing in wholesale interest rates and a dropping exchange rate that threatened to undo their inflation-fighting progress.The guys look past the headline figure to analyse the increased transparency under Governor Anna Bremen, exploring how individual committee members view current inflation balances. We map out what this means for a flattening housing market - currently down 0.9% annually at the end of June - and preview the five pillars of macro uncertainty that will dictate the next interest rate decision on September 2nd.This week we discuss:The Unanimous Decision: Why the committee completely abandoned its previous 3-all split to push the OCR to 2.5%.The Financial Conditions Pushback: How dropping wholesale market interest rates forced the RBNZ to intervene to prevent premature economic stimulus.The Committee Split: Dissecting the internal RBNZ friction between members warning of structural inflation risks and those viewing them as balanced.The 3.9% Inflation Reality: Why the RBNZ downgraded its near-term Q2 CPI expectations from 4.3% while simultaneously lifting interest rates.The Housing Impact: Why retail mortgage rates are unlikely to shift aggressively despite the higher OCR baseline.Sign up for news and insights or contact on LinkedIn, X @NickGoodall_CL or @KDavidson_CL and email ngoodall@cotality.com or kdavidson@cotality.comThis podcast is for educational and entertainment purposes only and does not constitute financial, legal, or tax advice.

Valve's Steam Machine reviews are in — and the verdict is brutal: by most measures it's slightly less powerful than a base PS5 while costing more than double. We break down the benchmarks, why Valve went semi-custom on the chips, and whether "access to the entire Steam library" is worth the price of admission. Before that, we go deep on Escape from Tarkov's first-ever season, Cord Breach — the new seasonal character system, the Path of Exile-style trait modifiers, the Kappa protocol, and whether this shakes up the Tarkov loop for good. Then it's War Dogs: the alpha impressions are rolling in, the hype is real, and the only "complaints" are people mad about camping in a large-scale warfare game.

Die Wall Street steuert vor dem langen Feiertagswochenende auf einen freundlichen Handelsstart zu. Der schwächer als erwartete Juni-Arbeitsmarktbericht wird zunächst eher positiv interpretiert: Ein abkühlender Jobmarkt nimmt Druck von der Fed und erhöht die Hoffnung auf Zinssenkungen. Meta lotet offenbar ein Cloud-Geschäft aus, um eigene KI-Infrastruktur extern zu vermarkten. JP Morgan stuft die Aktie trotzdem nur mit Neutral ein. Tesla profitiert wiederum von den starken Auslieferungszahlen im Juni.

In Episode 211 of The Practice Podcast, Jeff Bast and Brett Amron welcome Edward Montoya, Founder of Montoya Law and mediator/arbitrator with BridgePoint ADR, for a thoughtful conversation about litigation, mediation, emotional intelligence, and the human side of conflict resolution. Ed shares his journey from growing up in New York and South Florida to building a distinguished litigation practice handling aviation disasters, catastrophic injury, wrongful death, product liability, and complex commercial disputes. Inspired by early exposure to the legal profession and a passion for storytelling, he developed a career dedicated to helping clients through some of life's most difficult challenges. The conversation explores Ed's decades of experience representing families in high-stakes cases and how those experiences shaped his understanding of justice, loss, and advocacy. He reflects on the responsibility lawyers carry when representing individuals facing tragedy and the importance of building genuine human connections with clients. Ed also discusses his transition from trial lawyer to mediator and arbitrator, explaining how his interest in conflict resolution led him to pursue advanced studies focused on negotiation, psychology, and human behavior. His goal shifted from simply litigating disputes to helping parties better understand risk, evaluate options, and reach meaningful resolutions. In a supplemental discussion following the recording, Ed highlights the qualities he believes distinguish effective mediators. He emphasizes the importance of persistence, collaboration, preparation, and ongoing communication. By engaging with counsel before mediation, maintaining momentum afterward, and building trust throughout the process, he works to help parties move cases toward resolution even after formal mediation sessions conclude. Throughout the episode, Ed reinforces a central principle that has guided his career: understanding people is often the key to resolving conflict. Whether serving as an advocate, mediator, or arbitrator, empathy, respect, and active listening remain essential tools for helping parties move forward.Key Topics:·         Building a career in complex litigation·         Aviation disasters, catastrophic injury, and product liability matters·         The role of empathy in advocacy and dispute resolution·         Transitioning from trial lawyer to mediator·         Emotional intelligence in mediation·         Advanced training in negotiation and conflict resolution·         Building trust before, during, and after mediation·         Helping parties find practical solutions to difficult disputes·         The importance of persistence and follow-through in achieving settlementsStreaming on  YouTube, Spotify, Amazon Music, and Apple Podcasts.

Civil War, the Ides of March, and the Spiritual Godfather. Guest Author: Josiah Osgood. Cicero eventually returned to Rome, but the republic was sliding toward civil war between Caesar and Pompey. Although Cicero tried to remain neutral, he eventually joined Pompey's side but was pardoned by Caesar after the latter's victory. Cicero was present in the Senate on the day Julius Caesar was assassinated. While he was not part of the conspiracy, he celebrated the act and was famously hailed by Brutus as a spiritual "godfather" of the plot. The aftermath was chaotic, as the assassins' hope for celebration was met with a swift popular reaction against them. This shift was largely due to Mark Antony, who gave a dramatic funeral eulogy and displayed Caesar's blood-spattered toga to the crowd. Cicero recognized that Antony's genius utilized the same rhetorical techniques he had mastered: demonstrating feelings rather than just talking about them. This moment locked Cicero into a final, deadly contest with Antony over the future of the republic. He began writing and delivering the Philippics, a series of speeches designed to destroy Antony's political standing. 71450 VIRGIL

Tired of the constant mental chatter? Feeling drained by unresolved issues and endless to-do lists? You're a high-performer, always striving for excellence. But that drive often comes with a hidden cost: a mind full of "open loops" – those nagging thoughts, unfinished tasks, and unresolved conflicts that silently steal your energy. In this powerful discussion, we dive deep into the concept of neutrality – not as indifference, but as a strategic superpower for the exhausted high-achiever. Discover how embracing neutrality can help you: Stop the energy drain: Learn to identify and close those "open loops" that keep you mentally busy and emotionally depleted. Navigate conflict with calm: Instead of reacting and escalating, find your "defining moment" to manage situations with steady, anchored presence, even when things matter deeply. Reclaim your peace and sanity: Understand how to pause, gain clarity, and avoid the knee-jerk reactions that lead to bigger problems and deeper exhaustion. Transform relationships: Discover how a neutral stance can foster understanding, prevent damage, and create space for genuine repair, even in your most challenging interactions. Unlock more solutions: See how stepping back from immediate judgment and reaction opens up a world of possibilities and empowers you to find more effective outcomes. We'll explore practical strategies like: Noticing the "surge": Identifying what triggers your emotional reactions. Questioning your "story": Challenging your ingrained beliefs about situations and people. Asking for clarity: Slowing down conversations to truly understand, rather than assume. "Eating your popcorn": Observing situations without getting emotionally entangled. If you're ready to move beyond constant reaction and cultivate a powerful inner calm that fuels your performance without burning you out, this video is for you. Learn how to be present, hear clearly, and manage yourself so you don't "give up your sanity or your peace." Don't let open loops dictate your energy. Tap into the power of neutrality and reclaim your focus, peace, and effectiveness. If this resonated, there's probably an open loop of your own worth closing. My free Close the Loop tool walks you through it in about 15 minutes — a gentle place to start.

Turn Setbacks Into Wins With Neutral Thinking   Success does not protect you from feeling stuck. In fact, for many high achievers, the pressure to keep performing can bury the deeper questions that actually matter. This conversation with Joshua Lifrak is about what happens when the old way of thinking stops working and you need a more honest framework for resilience, growth, and living with intention. Joshua knows this terrain from both sides. He grew up around financial scarcity, built a career in elite performance, and lived through bankruptcy before rebuilding. Along the way, he worked with top athletes and organizations, including the Chicago Cubs during their 2016 World Series run, and built a framework for performing under pressure that now serves business leaders as well.   In This Episode: How childhood scarcity shaped Joshua's early relationship with money Why bankruptcy became a turning point instead of an ending What elite athletes understand about mental preparation that most executives do not The power of neutral thinking in high-pressure moments Why knowledge without action changes nothing How to stop living by default and start living by design What "Mile Zero" means for your next chapter   Key Insights: The story you attach to a setback often creates more damage than the setback itself. Neutral thinking creates space for better decisions. Real performance is built before the pressure moment arrives. Growth comes from repetition, not occasional inspiration. The past only controls the future if you keep giving it that power.   Money Learnings from Joshua: He grew up with a scarcity-based relationship to money and remembers what it felt like when finances were tight at home. School did not teach him much about money, and he says he did not truly begin to understand how money could work for you until later in life. He credits his wife, Karen, with helping shape a more thoughtful financial approach through long-term planning, investing, and thinking differently about how to use money to create freedom and better choices.   Why This Conversation Matters: It speaks directly to entrepreneurs and high achievers who know what pressure feels like. Success does not eliminate setbacks, self-doubt, or emotional overreaction. In many cases, it raises the stakes. Joshua brings a rare perspective because he connects personal financial struggle, elite athletic performance, and business leadership into one practical framework. For anyone building a company, leading a team, or trying to grow through a difficult season, this episode is a reminder that better results often begin with better thinking. This is what makes the conversation so relevant for entrepreneurs and high achievers. Success does not remove pressure. It often amplifies it. And when pressure rises, the real question is whether you will react emotionally or respond with intention. Joshua's concept of neutral thinking offers a grounded way forward.   About Joshua Lifrak: Joshua Lifrak, M.S., author of WIN TODAY, is Director of Performance and Coaching at Limitless Minds, a mental performance consultancy, delivering keynotes and advising individuals, small businesses, and top multinationals including McDonalds, Novartis, Pfizer, KPMG, and Amazon.

He then joined the Chicago Cubs as director of their mental skills program. His work there culminated in the Cubs' 2016 World Series victory.

In the manifestation world, we're often told that neutrality is the goal. But there's a problem: neutrality and numbness can look almost identical on the surface.Both can feel like a lack of emotion. Both can feel like you're no longer triggered. Both can feel like you've "let it go."But they're not the same thing.True neutrality comes after you've processed the emotions, beliefs, and resistance underneath an issue. Numbness, on the other hand, is often what happens when those emotions are still there but have been suppressed, avoided, or disconnected from.In this episode, I'm breaking down the difference between neutrality and numbness, why so many people mistake one for the other, and how that mistake can keep you stuck in manifestation work.Money Moves: 30 Day EFT Tapping Program to clear money blockshttps://victoriadambrozio.mykajabi.com/money-moves-sales-page

In this special re-release of Episode #2, Corinna Bellizzi revisits an early conversation with social change strategist Genevieve Smith that feels remarkably relevant today. Show Notes: What if the choices we make every day, from the words we use to the conversations we avoid, are shaping the world more than we realize? Originally recorded during a period of heightened social and political tension, this discussion explores how our values show up in our actions, why "nothing is neutral," and how we can engage in difficult conversations without sacrificing either accountability or compassion. Genevieve shares practical insights for navigating disagreements around race, gender, faith, politics, and social change while remaining connected to our shared humanity. Together, Corinna and Genevieve examine the challenges of values alignment, both in our personal lives and within organizations, and discuss how humor, curiosity, and self-awareness can help us build bridges across difference. As public discourse grows increasingly polarized, this conversation offers a timely reminder that meaningful change often begins with our willingness to listen, learn, and stay engaged. In This Episode:  What Genevieve means by being a "professional bummer" Why difficult conversations are necessary for meaningful social change How compassion differs from endorsement The concept that "nothing is neutral" and how it applies to everyday life Finding common ground across political, social, and cultural differences Why accountability should not be confused with punishment The role of humor in lowering defenses and opening minds How organizations can align business practices with stated values The importance of defining what values like integrity, inclusion, and equity actually mean Practical ways to engage more thoughtfully with people who see the world differently Key Takeaways: Every action—and every inaction—communicates values. Whether we're making decisions as individuals, leaders, consumers, or organizations, our choices have consequences that extend beyond ourselves. Genevieve argues that meaningful progress requires both courage and humility: the courage to engage difficult topics and the humility to recognize that we all have more to learn. By approaching disagreements with curiosity instead of a desire to win, we create opportunities for understanding, accountability, and growth. This episode is an invitation to examine how our values show up in our daily lives and to consider how we might contribute to a more equitable, compassionate, and sustainable future. GUEST BIO: Genevieve Smith is an independent consultant specializing in organizational behavior, social change, values alignment, and systems transformation. She works with international NGOs, corporate leaders, mission-driven organizations, and communities to connect people, ideas, and strategies in service of more equitable systems and outcomes. Genevieve began her career as a data analyst within a disability services organization, where she discovered that meaningful impact could not be measured without aligning data practices to mission and values. Since then, she has helped organizations design business practices, cultures, and decision-making frameworks that reflect their purpose—not the other way around. Known affectionately as a "professional bummer," Genevieve helps individuals and organizations navigate uncomfortable but necessary conversations that lead to deeper understanding, stronger values alignment, and more effective social change.

Send us a Positive Review!Series Title: Religion IS Political [Part VII of VII]This final episode of this series is our response to the point of view that Jesus did not ‘get political'. Jesus (and each of us) cannot avoid being political. We state our “politics” with each stance to either uphold or resist dominator hierarchies. And Jesus' whole ministry can be defined by resistance to any system that placed the life of any human being over the life of any other human being. Listen to this episode to answer for yourself the following questions: Did the actual Jesus of Nazareth embody radical love for all human beings and speak strongly and often about very "political" topics?  Or did claim neutrality in a way that left those of his time uncertain about how he felt about authoritarian power structures and their treatment of "the least of these"? Timestamps:00:00 Welcome and Series Finale02:06 Recap of Episodes One to Six05:01 Liberation Jesus or Empire Mascot06:42 Scripture Lenses and Competing Jesuses08:47 Jesus of Nazareth vs Christ of Empire12:48 Refusing Power and Inner Kingdom20:30 Flattening Margins and Social Norms27:58 Good Samaritan and Bad Laws Today34:42 Challenging Religious Gatekeeping40:05 Taking Jesus Name Through Action43:23 Love Over Fear God Image47:06 Closing Thanks and Fellowship InviteSupport the showSupport the showJoin The Live FellowshipListen, Share, Rate & Review EPISODESFriday Episodes Annual Access $89Friday Episodes Monthly Access $10Valerie's Support & Processing GroupsGift a ScholarshipDownload Free ResourcesVisit our Website

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Todd Kroupa A former firefighter turned top-producing real estate agent in Georgia. Todd explains his journey from a physically demanding fire department career to becoming a highly successful real estate broker, team leader, and luxury/equestrian property specialist. The conversation walks through: His transition from the fire service to real estate Opening and managing a 400‑agent office in Florida Relocating to Georgia and re-establishing his business How he advises both first-time homebuyers and experienced sellers Emotional decision-making in buying and selling Inspections, deal-breakers, and buyer/seller behavior Multi-generational housing trends post‑COVID Why real estate remains a wealth-building tool Advice for navigating neighborhoods, schools, and due diligence His eventual ranking as #1 single agent for Berkshire Hathaway in Georgia (2024–2025) Todd emphasizes integrity, long-term relationships, and guiding clients toward the right house — not just closing a deal. Purpose of the Interview The purpose of Todd Kroupa’s appearance is to: Share a motivational career-change story — moving from firefighter to top real estate agent. Educate listeners on the real estate process — including buying, selling, inspections, and market strategy. Give practical tips for first-time homebuyers, families, and multi-generational households. Promote best practices for choosing neighborhoods, navigating emotion in home buying, and avoiding pitfalls. Highlight Todd’s success and position him as a trusted resource for Georgia real estate clients. Key Takeaways 1. Career Transition & Motivation Todd became a firefighter in 1992, retired in 2014, and began real estate in 2002. Real estate appealed to him because it allowed him to continue helping people without the physical strain. He built and managed a 400-agent office before returning to working directly with clients — his true passion. 2. Balancing Firefighting and Real Estate He often worked both jobs full-time, with limited days off. Eventually, maintaining both became impossible: “I can’t do this anymore,” he told his wife. 3. Buyer Advice Buyers make decisions emotionally first, then logically. Within the first 3–5 minutes in a home, buyers often know if they like it. Lighting, paint color, home condition, and layout heavily influence emotional response. First-time buyers need extra guidance — like “teaching someone to drive for the first time.” 4. Seller Advice Selling isn’t just about market timing — presentation matters. Neutral paint colors and bright white lighting help increase buyer appeal. Every showing is won or lost in the first few minutes. 5. Inspections Matter — and Are Deal Breakers Top inspection walk‑aways: Mold Foundation issues Roof problemsTodd stresses that if a buyer is uncomfortable before closing, “you won’t be comfortable after you close.” 6. Emotion vs. Logic Many buyers get emotionally attached and ignore red flags. Todd’s rule: commissions should never drive decisions. 7. Multi-Generational Living Is Rising Driven by COVID, high child-care costs, rising home prices. Families are choosing: ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) “In-law suites” Larger family compounds 8. Real Estate as a Wealth Builder Unlike stock investments, real estate allows you to: Control, improve, alter, and live in the asset. Tax advantages like 1031 exchanges and mortgage deductions compound long-term value. 9. Don’t Buy the Most Expensive House in the Neighborhood Surrounding homes cap your resale value. You may have to wait years for nearby homes to “catch up.” 10. Neighborhood Due Diligence Realtors must avoid discrimination (Fair Housing Act). Buyers should: Visit neighborhoods at night and on weekends Speak with neighbors Review school ratings and county resources Notable Quotes (from the transcript) Career & Purpose “I love helping people. That’s why I became a fireman. Real estate was another way to help people.” “I wasn’t quite sure I wanted to manage long term… my heart was with clients.” Ethics & Commission “Commissions should never be above the people.” “If you’re focused on commissions, you need to pick a different industry.” Emotions in Home Buying “Buyers think they’re looking logically, but they’re looking emotionally first.” “Within the first 3–5 minutes, they already know if they like the home.” Inspections “If you’re not comfortable with the property now, you won’t be comfortable after you close.” Neighborhood Choice “Focus on the house, but look at the neighborhood — you can’t change your neighbors.” Wealth Building “With stocks you can’t control it, improve it, or live in it. With a home, you can.” Success & Determination “Someone told me when I moved to Georgia I wasn’t going to make it. Now I’m the number one salesperson in Georgia.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
