Welcome to the table--watch out for flying bits of chewed carrot and shoes... John is still unwelcome at his home church, so he gives an update on his church-hopping travels. WHAT DO YOU DO when you have nothing to do at church??? Next: Luke has a great idea for how to make an impression at the church pitch-in. But only you would get the joke, Neighbor! Everyone else would just be confused... ...and that reminds us of our late friend, Hank McGill! Then: You have homework, Neighbor! You need to send us your best punchlines for Hank's infamous set-up... It goes: "A guy called and asked if I wanted a subscription to Prevention Magazine, and I said: ___________________________" LATER: You know, lots of churches pay to bring in a comedian for a night of laughs, but having one as a member of your congregation isn't always delightful. When you order the caviar for a fancy restaurant, it feels high-value and cool. But if you just bring caviar to the average church pitch in, it's just going to land on the floor under the highchairs, with the green beans, while everyone eats the mac-and-cheese.That analogy made sense while we were crafting it...

When she was a teenager, a relaxing week at the lake turned into something far more unsettling—something unseen grabbed her foot… not once, but twice. Years later, a childhood memory involving a “red man” peering from the window of an abandoned house comes flooding back, only to be turned completely on its head in adulthood. In this episode, we hear how the mind fills in the gaps when fear takes over—and how sometimes, the answers come years later when you least expect them. Two stories, one unforgettable voice, and a reminder that not all hauntings are what they seem.

In this episode from the Past Life Talk series back in mid-2021, Daniel sits down with Dani, known as That Witch Next Door, one year after her  regression. What began as a past life journey into the final moments of a condemned witch became something much bigger. It was a turning point that reshaped the course of her life today.Dani reflects on the moment she faced death without fear, the ritual that led to her execution, and the unexpected recognition of the guard who walked her to her death. That guard, it turns out, was Daniel. Together, they revisit the weight and wonder of that memory and what it means to find each other again in this life under entirely different terms.This episode is not just about regression. It is about healing, confidence, and the kind of transformation that only happens when someone meets their past head-on and walks forward anyway.

What does it truly mean to be an entrepreneur or an investor—not just in terms of dollars and deals, but in the way we think about money, wealth, and possibility? In this special rebranding episode of The Angel Next Door Podcast, host Marcia Dawood invites us to pause and reconsider our most fundamental beliefs about investing and wealth. With over 130 episodes under her belt, Marcia prompts listeners to reflect on the invisible barriers that keep so many—especially women and those from underrepresented backgrounds—on the sidelines of early stage investing.This 7-minute episode features Marcia herself at the helm, sharing insights from her journey as a longtime angel investor, author, and advocate for democratizing access to capital. Fresh off publishing her book "Do Good While Doing Well," Marcia brings a wealth of experience and perspective to the conversation. She speaks candidly about the responses she's received from both investors and entrepreneurs, highlighting the deep need for education, community, and personal reflection around financial topics that historically have been shrouded in jargon and exclusionary language.At its core, this episode marks a pivotal shift for the podcast as Marcia announces a reimagined focus—expanding the narrative beyond technical investing tips to encompass conversations about money, personal beliefs, systemic barriers, and new definitions of wealth. With "wealth reimagined" now part of the show's branding, listeners can look forward to richer, more inclusive explorations of what it means to invest, support founders, and use money as a force for good. This is a must-listen for anyone—whether you're a founder, an aspiring investor, or simply curious about financial empowerment—who wants to be part of shaping a more conscious, equitable, and impactful future. Sign up for Marcia's newsletter to receive tips and the latest on Angel Investing!Website: www.marciadawood.comLearn more about the documentary Show Her the Money: www.showherthemoneymovie.comAnd don't forget to follow us wherever you are!Apple Podcasts: https://pod.link/1586445642.appleSpotify: https://pod.link/1586445642.spotifyLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/angel-next-door-podcast/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theangelnextdoorpodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@marciadawood

Solo aging, defined as aging without the traditional support of a spouse, adult children, or close relatives, is a growing demographic reality for many individuals over 55. Far from a negative concept, solo aging is increasingly seen as an empowering journey that emphasizes proactive planning, community engagement, and the creation of a robust "personal village" to ensure a secure, purposeful, and joyful later life. This article explores the key aspects of solo aging, including its definition, the importance of planning, building a support network, addressing challenges, and available resources.Reframing Solo AgingSolo aging encompasses a broad group, including those who are single, widowed, divorced, estranged from family, or whose children are unable or unwilling to provide care. As Steve Gurney notes, "We are all aging solo…there's only one person aging in my body, and it's me." The term, coined by Sara Zeff Geber, has evolved from focusing solely on childless individuals to anyone lacking a reliable support system. Unlike the outdated and disheartening term "elder orphan," "solo aging" is empowering, encouraging individuals to take ownership of their future with pride and agency. Even those with families are encouraged to plan for solo aging, as partners may pass away, and adult children may not be available or suitable as caregivers.Proactive planning is the cornerstone of successful solo aging, preventing crises and providing peace of mind. As experts emphasize, "Planning for solo aging is much easier and far less stressful if it is done BEFORE a crisis." A comprehensive plan spans multiple life domains: health, finances, legal matters, housing, social connections, purpose, and spiritual well-being. Carol Marak's "aging well circle" offers a framework for assessing these areas. Financial foresight is particularly critical, involving proactive saving, consulting financial advisors, and preparing for potential care costs. Such planning empowers individuals to maintain control over their lives and minimize burdens on others.A "personal village" is the heart of solo aging, providing not just assistance but also purpose, joy, and belonging. Creating this network requires intentional effort, as solo agers must think differently about relationships. This village includes friends, neighbors, community members, and professionals, with an emphasis on age-diverse connections for mutual support. Practical strategies include:Inventorying Connections: List current contacts and identify gaps to address.Nurturing Relationships: Foster reciprocity and reach out to both close and casual contacts, as unexpected allies often emerge.Engaging in Shared Interests: Join clubs, volunteer, or take classes to connect over passions like gardening or book clubs, especially helpful for introverts.Leveraging Online Communities: Platforms like MeetUp, Stitch, NextDoor, and Facebook groups (e.g., "Elder Orphans," "NYC Solo Agers") facilitate connections, while Senior Planet and GetSetUp offer classes fostering friendships.Balancing Vulnerability and Boundaries: Be open to deep connections while setting clear expectations.This interdependence, rather than fierce independence, is key to thriving as a solo ager.Finding a trustworthy medical or financial power of attorney (POA) is a significant challenge. Trustworthiness is paramount, and potential proxies—whether family, friends, or professionals like licensed fiduciaries, aging life care managers, or elder law attorneys—require relationship-building over time. Patient advocates and daily money managers can also assist in navigating healthcare and financial systems.

The quiet, ordinary man next door was finally exposed when police pulled him over and discovered a decomposing body in the trunk of his car. Seventeen women were brutally murdered by a man who couldn't even recall all their names, but remembered every detail of how they died in his hands. We dig into the investigation that laid bare the cracks in law enforcement's response to missing sex workers, the trial, criminological theories relating to serial killers, and interviews where Joel seemed more titillated by the attention than tormented by guilt.

Join our Patreon family for exclusive bonus content, access to BTS, a private group chat, merch discounts, and to guest co-host with Investigator Slater! www.Patreon.com/PsychopediaPod Inspired by Gary Ridgway and Ted Bundy, serial killer Joel Rifin modeled his victimology and body disposable methods like a grotesque homage: limbs in cement, heads in paint cans, bodies dumped with calculated precision. For four years in the late 1980s/early 90s, while living with his mother in the heart of suburban Long Island, NY, Joel Rifkin hunted women on the margins. Joel, a bullied outcast with a high IQ and a severely damaged frontal lobe, didn't explode overnight. He eroded. First came the fantasies. Then came the reality of 17 victims whom he strangled and dismembered with an X-Acto knife. Joel blended in — just another quiet man with a sedan, a part time job, and a taste for sadism. This wasn't some obvious "monster" lurking in the shadows. This was a depraved serial killer next door, hiding in plain sight, mowing the same lawns your kids play on. Welcome to Part 1 of New York's most known prolific killer: Joel Rifkin, aka Joel The Ripper.

Today's guest is no stranger to reinvention—or to messiness.Maryam Banikarim is a powerhouse C-suite executive turned podcast host whose résumé reads like a tour through media, hospitality, tech, and purpose-driven leadership. She's served as Global CMO at companies like Hyatt, Gannett, and Nextdoor. But in her latest chapter, Maryam is pulling back the curtain on the glossy LinkedIn life and telling the truth, the messy, nonlinear, sometimes gut-wrenching truth, about what it really takes to build a career, a family, and a sense of self.Her new podcast, The Messy Parts, is a must-listen for anyone navigating personal and professional pivots. It's raw, wise, and often hilarious, featuring guests like SNL alum Ana Gasteyer, Broadway composer Tom Kitt, and billion-dollar founders Cass and Mike Lazerow.In our conversation, Maryam and I talk about everything from career burnout to billion-dollar regret, the emotional toll of job loss, the value of taking a pause, and why being honest about your struggles is the key to building true community. She also shares why she believes now is the exact right time to have these conversations—and why you don't have to be “perfect” to be successful.

Hey, Neighbor! We start with a long excerpt from C.S. Lewis' Prince Caspian. That's called a "cold open," and it's very hip and interesting! (Eventually it will tie into the discussion about bad church leaders and what to do when they're going THE OPPOSITE WAY from Jesus.) Next, John has been kindly asked not to come back to his home church of 35 years. This is necessary for unity! We must all get excited about the mission of bringing in lots of new baby Christians--who will presumably be asked to leave in 35 years... Then: The Peaches reads quotes from "The Unstuck Church," which was written by a business consultant and is now being used as a play book for how to act less like a church and more like a Chik-Fil-A. This was the book that was used in the attempt to hijack Faith Baptist Church in North Carolina, and now it has landed in Kokomo. Later: Now that everyone is nice and angry at how positively STUPID it is to throw Lucy out of the family because her crying is raining on your parade, we return to Narnia...Where Aslan tells Lucy what to do when the people with the power won't listen to you. Email the Comedian's family at nextdoor@johnbranyan.com . If you have some experience with The Unstuck Group or other "consultants" who are influencing church culture, reach out! You're not crazy.

This week on the Active Self Protection Podcast we sit down with self defender “Scott” and discuss a situation that a lot of homeowners find themselves facing: bad or even criminal neighbors.  This episode is basically a talk I have had with untold numbers of people considering their options when the neighbors are lowering the safety level and property values of an area. Active Self Protection exists to help good, sane, sober, moral, prudent people in all walks of life to more effectively protect themselves and their loved ones from criminal violence. On the ASP Podcast you will hear the true stories of life or death self defense encounters from the men and women that lived them. If you are interested in the Second Amendment, self defense and defensive firearms use, martial arts or the use of less lethal tools used in the real world to defend life and family, you will find this show riveting.  Join host and career federal agent Mike Willever as he talks to real life survivors and hear their stories in depth. You'll hear about these incidents and the self defenders from well before the encounter occurred on through the legal and emotional aftermath. Music: bensound.com

On this episode of Wife of Crime I'm telling Russ about the senseless murder of Lauren Giddings. Lauren had just finished law school and was studying to take the Bar Exam. When friends and family didn't hear anything from her for a few days however, they started to get concerned. Among the friends searching for her was a man none of them knew too well... her next door neighbor Stephen McDaniel. Soon everyone would discover that while Lauren was simply just being neighborly to Stephen, waving and smiling at him in passing, he was building a fantasy world in his head and it completely revolved around Lauren. Moral of this story... We never truly know what's going on behind closed doors. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Well, neighbor, she finally did it. The Peaches chased EVERYONE else away from the table! In a couple days, John will be rested and ready to record again. But--in the meantime--you should brush up on your knowledge of Hostile Church Takeovers and the Business of Doing Church. That information will come in handy when we share the details of what has been happening in our local congregation... (It's pretty outrageous.) (But the Peaches is being the "opposite of candid" for now.) How are the elders treated in your church? I don't mean the PR guys who act as middle-managers in a glorified Sunday Coffee Shop with Live Band. I mean, the people in your church who are ELDER--those who have raised faithful kids and who love God's Word and have been bearing good fruit for decades? Are they respected for their wisdom? Or are they chased out of the congregation because they are resistant to change and it puts a damper on the CEO's business strategy? Check out the documentary on YouTube: "Hostile Takeover, How One Church in NC Almost Lost Everything." It's your homework before our next discussion! :) Also, email us at nextdoor@johnbranyan.com to share any encouraging stories of Faithful Christians you know. Five kids and 20 grandkids? Yes, please.
