Welcome to The Calm & Happy Home Podcast!In this episode, I'm chatting about overcoming setbacks and the road to 200K followers, and why I don't actually think you ever fully "overcome" a setback, you just learn from it a little more each time. I'm sharing the full circle moment I had this week that took me right back to when I started my business, and the ten pieces of advice I've picked up along the way that keep me moving forward when things don't go to plan.I'm also giving you an update on the five day manifestation mini course launching around the Lion's Gate portal, which now has over 440 people signed up, and talking through the energy of the moment, from the full moon to the Gordon Ramsay energy that's still floating around.Why I don't believe you ever truly overcome a setback, and why that's actually a good thingThe full circle moment that took me straight back to how I felt starting my business, and why it made me so grateful I didn't listen to my inner criticWhy every "no" I've had, from publishers to brand collaborations, has taught me that it's not a no forever, just a not right nowThe ten pieces of advice I lean on when things don't go my way, from asking what a setback is trying to teach you, to not letting it become your identityWhy changing your physical environment can completely shift a conversation that keeps going round in circlesWhy consistency beats motivation, and how showing up every single day is often easier than trying to talk yourself into it a few times a weekThe two second phrase I say out loud every morning that changes the energy of my whole dayEvery single person has setbacks, and if you look at anyone who's written a book about how they got to where they are, that book is full of them. It's rarely the setback itself that defines you, it's what you choose to do next.Show me how good today can be.So much love, Kimberley xx5 Days to Manifest: https://www.kimberleygallagher.com/5-days-to-manifest-with-the-lions-gate-portal2026 Year of the Horse Energy Planner: https://www.thefengshuiflow.com/2026-plannerJoin the community at somuchlove.com and follow along @somuchlovekimberleyA bespoke analysis of your home to unlock the exact remedies your living space needs to support you in a life of more abundance and prosperity: https://www.thefengshuiflow.com/home-analysis-serviceWork with me 1 to 1 here!If you loved this episode don't forget to subscribe, leave a 5* review on Apple Podcasts and tag me in your stories on Instagram @thefengshuiflow! xx Hosted on Acast.

Molly Fast is back. The most-listened-to guest in Real Talk history returns with a new vantage point and a lot more to say. After more than two decades running one of the most successful peer-to-peer programs in North America, Molly has shifted into building something new within the same company she's called home. This shift has given her a front-row seat to a problem she's increasingly convinced is at the root of why so many events underperform: Organizations have perfected the tools but they've completely skipped the teaching. In this episode, she and Amy go deep on what it actually takes to turn participants into fundraisers, why going back to basics might be the most radical thing you can do right now, and what peer-to-peer does that no other fundraising vehicle can replicate. This episode is packed with gold.Key Components:What Molly's career shift — from running the same national program for 22 years to building a new consulting arm — is teaching her about the state of peer-to-peer fundraising right nowThe tools vs. teaching gap: why a fundraising page, sample emails, and social graphics are not a fundraising program The formula that hasn't changed in 25 years: meaningful goal, specific ask, personal story. It still works regardless of how much someone wants to raiseWhy peer-to-peer events have always been community-building tools long before community became a buzzword"It's not asking for money, it's inviting someone to just support something that matters to you."Connect with Molly on LinkedInCheck out Event 360

There are three words that quietly end up costing more than almost any bad investment: "he handles it." Not because delegating is wrong, but because somewhere between division of labor and total disengagement, a line gets crossed that most couples never notice until a crisis forces them to. This episode is about that line, and about the less obvious ways money stress shows up when it's not just a spreadsheet problem, it's a physical one. Jill Schlesinger and Kristy Talorico both join the show, and each brings something you didn't know you needed to hear.What You'll Walk Away WithThe real difference between splitting responsibilities and losing all visibility into your own financial lifeA simple, low-stakes way to start a money conversation with a partner who's checked out, without triggering defensivenessWhy financial advisors dread meeting a client's "uninvolved" spouse for the first time after a deathWhat actually happens to your financial life if your money-handling spouse suddenly can't do it anymoreHow financial stress physically changes your body, according to a major new health studyWhy the standard advice to "just put more in your 401k" completely misses people who are financially struggling right nowThe surprising first place financial counselors suggest looking before you take out any kind of loanA behind-the-scenes look at how employers are (and aren't) using workplace benefits to actually help peopleWhy This Matters NowIn your 40s, you're often the connective tissue for your whole household's financial life, sometimes for a spouse, sometimes for aging parents, sometimes for kids just starting out. It's easy to assume that as long as someone in the relationship understands the money, everyone's fine. But real financial confidence means everyone involved has at least a working map of where things stand. This episode isn't about becoming an expert. It's about making sure "I don't really know" is never the answer when it matters most.From the BasementDoug's trivia question drags in an unexpected lesson about knowing what things actually mean, not just recognizing the name, which somehow ties together German car history and financial literacy in the same segment. Basement logic, but it works.Resources MentionedMoney Moves with Jill Schlesinger — Jill's new podcast with Mark TalercioJill on Money podcast — Jill Schlesinger's long-running personal finance show"The Most Dangerous Words I Hear From Married Couples: 'He Handles It'" — the Kiplinger piece referenced in the episodeBrightside Financial Care — Kristy Talorico's company, financial care benefits for employersFindhelp.org — the free navigation tool for local financial and hardship resourcesSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This is THE most common question I get from coaches and service providers who want to start guesting on podcasts — and I'm going to give you the honest answer, not the easy one. Spoiler: it takes time, it takes a system, and it takes knowing exactly what aligned really means. Here's everything I know after building a database of 150+ shows.Why you need a tracking system before you do anything else (+ grab my free tracker)Why a smaller, aligned podcast will always outperform a big, misaligned one for lead generationThe rabbit hole method for finding niche shows that fit your exact audienceWhy Threads is an underrated goldmine for finding podcast guesting opportunities right nowThe real reason people pay me to do this part for them

I've had a version of the same conversation with clients for years now: someone posts a Reel, it does great, and for two weeks they're convinced they've finally cracked it. Then real life happens — a slow week, a vacation, a launch — and the whole thing goes quiet. And they think they did something wrong.They didn't. They just built something that only runs while they're actively fueling it.That's basically what's happening with Jessi Jean's Yap Challenge right now, and I want to talk about it — not to tell you it's bad (it's not, and I think what she's built is genuinely impressive), but because I think there's a conversation happening right now about what "good marketing" looks like, and I don't think anyone's being honest about the tradeoff.The Yap Challenge works. It's smart, it's effective, and it's making people real money. But it also requires you to show up, every single day, forever, just to stay visible. And I think that's worth talking about before you decide it's your whole strategy.

This is the final one. My last episode live here at EduTech 2026, and I cannot think of a better way to wrap it up.Joining me is my teachergram turned real life friend Aaron Johnston, who popped his head into the booth yesterday and got roped into coming back for an interview. If you don't already know Aaron, you should. He is a deputy principal at Talara Public School, now in his 18th year of teaching, and he is well known across the teacher podcast space for leading the way on Aboriginal education, so much so that in 2024 he was recognised as Primary Educator of the Year at the Koori Curriculum Awards. Many of you will also know Aaron through Mr J's Learning Space and the Teacher Takeaway podcast, where he interviews leading educational experts, including me, not that long ago.We get into classroom management from a leadership lens, including the biggest mistakes schools make when supporting teachers through behaviour challenges, why rescuing a struggling teacher too quickly can actually disempower them, and why "what's your approach to behaviour" needs to start long before the first warning is ever given.Aaron also opens up about the loneliness of school leadership, the unseen burden leaders carry every single day, and why he genuinely loves it when a teacher cries in his office, because it means they feel safe enough to be honest with him. We close out with a brilliant rapid fire win or bin round covering open door policies, whole school behaviour systems, reward systems, observations, unscheduled learning walks, staff meetings, and yes, the dreaded staff morning tea as a wellbeing strategy.What you'll learn:Why time, not more resources, is the thing teachers need most from school leaders right nowThe "pruning principle" and why letting go of something is often more powerful than adding something newWhy rescuing a struggling teacher too quickly can actually disempower them and damage student relationshipsWhat good quality support from senior leadership actually looks like when a teacher says "I am drowning"Why compliance built on fear isn't the same as respect, and why it makes long-term classroom management harderThe loneliness of school leadership, and why Aaron genuinely wants teachers to feel safe enough to cry in his officeWhat teachers often misunderstand about the pressures and competing demands placed on school leadersAaron's honest win or bin verdicts on open door policies, whole school behaviour systems, reward systems, observations, learning walks, staff meetings, and staff morning teasThe most underrated leadership quality, and the one thing every teacher wishes their leader understoodHave a question, comment, or just want to say hello?

Position Your Nonfiction Book for Bestseller Success with Wiebke TaschAnika sat down with Wiebke Tasch to explore a hard truth in the publishing world: most nonfiction books fail not because the writing is bad, but because the positioning was wrong before the first word was ever written. Wiebke shares her journey from feeling stuck in a German PR agency to accidentally writing an Amazon bestseller about heartbreak, and how that success led her to found Digital Authors. The conversation reveals why a book is not just a vanity project, how data should dictate your book's direction, and why the "AI hype train" might be the worst thing to happen to your legacy.In This EpisodeHow a personal crisis and a lack of available therapy led to Wiebke's first bestselling bookThe difference between a vanity project and a strategic credibility builderWhy "guessing" your book's niche is a recipe for failure—and how to use data insteadThe cultural divide: Why European authors feel they must be an authority first, while US authors use a book to become oneRepositioning a business coach: How pivoting from "digital nomad" to "building a business" resulted in 9x more pre-salesThe "personal story formula": Why frameworks alone are boring and how to keep readers engagedThe role of AI in publishing: Why ChatGPT makes for terrible books but a great proofreaderA surprising market trend: Why the flood of AI books has created a unique opportunity for genuine human authors right nowThe psychological mirror of writing: How becoming an author forces you to confront your fear of visibilityThe "5-Day Amazon Window" and the secret to getting the algorithm to market your book for youCrafting a 3-month launch strategy and why Sunday afternoon is the worst time to hit "publish"Timestamps00:00 Introduction: Why do most nonfiction books fail to find an audience?01:24 From Berlin PR to digital nomad: The origin of Digital Authors 03:10 Writing Why Can't You Love Me? and accidentally hitting a bestseller niche 05:38 Learning from failure: Why the second and third books flopped 07:27 Market analysis: Using data to find demand before you outline the book 11:38 Europe vs. US publishing culture: "Who are you to write?" vs. "Write to become." 14:27 Case Study: Repositioning a "digital nomad" book to 9x the pre-sales 17:34 The writing process: Blending personal storytelling with actionable frameworks 23:28 The truth about AI in publishing: Use it to proofread, not to write your legacy 27:55 The personality development of writing: Overcoming the fear of being seen 32:01 The 5-Day Amazon Window: How to trigger the algorithm to push your book 36:31 A 3-month book launch strategy: Pre-sales, webinars, and launch parties 39:50 Positioning differences between established experts and brand-new authors 45:54 A special 25% discount offer for authors under 40 49:33 Favorite mantra: Trusting your own intuition above all elseKey Insights & TakeawaysInsight 1: Positioning Precedes Writing Most authors write what they want to say without checking if anyone is actually searching for it. By running a data-driven market analysis first, you can identify high-demand, low-competition niches, ensuring your book has a built-in audience before you even outline the first chapter.Insight 2: Frameworks Are Boring; Stories Stick If your book is just a step-by-step guide, it should have been a PDF. To keep readers engaged in an era of scrolling and short attention spans, authors must blend their conceptual frameworks with deeply personal stories and actionable exercises. Readers need to see themselves in your journey.Insight 3: The 5-Day Amazon Algorithm Window Publishing your book quietly and starting marketing two months later is a death sentence for sales. Amazon gives new releases a 5-day window. If you can drive massive traffic and conversions during those first five days, the algorithm will pick up the book and essentially take over the marketing for you long-term.Insight 4: AI is for Polishing, Not Creating While the market was briefly flooded with ChatGPT-authored books, readers are rejecting the generic, soulless writing. A book is a timeless authority tool meant to last for decades. Use AI for final grammar checks or structuring thoughts, but the core ideas and the voice must remain deeply human.Insight 5: Writing a Book is an Act of Personal Transformation Writing a book forces authors—especially women—to confront their imposter syndrome and fear of visibility. The process of claiming your expertise on the page ultimately translates to how you show up in your business, handle speaking engagements, and price your services.Resources & Links MentionedDigital Authors (Wiebke's Agency)About Wiebke TaschWiebke Tasch is the founder of Digital Authors and a publishing strategist who helps entrepreneurs and thought leaders turn their expertise into books that build authority and attract opportunity. Originally from Germany with a background in journalism and PR, Wiebke walked the hard path of publishing—first writing an accidental bestseller, followed by books that flopped.

Foreclosures are spiking across America and every news outlet is asking the same question: is this 2008 all over again? In this episode, Sam Primm and Lucas peel back the curtain on the actual foreclosure data — state by state — and give you the truth Wall Street and the media aren't telling you.Foreclosure filings are up double digits year over year, and headlines are scaring homeowners and investors into thinking a housing crash is coming. But when you look at the real numbers, a completely different story shows up.

In January 1981, American hostages were released from Iran within hours of Reagan's inauguration. Forty-five years later — to within 30 hours — Andrew Pancholi told his subscribers an Iran conflict was about to begin. He was right. This is not luck. It's mathematics — and in this conversation with Dwayne Kerrigan, Andrew breaks down exactly how cycle analysis works, what it's telling us about real estate, geopolitics, and the global economy right now, and what business owners and investors should be doing with that information.In Part 1 of this episode: The 18.6-year real estate cycle: why we are currently at the same position in the cycle as 2007 — just before the Global Financial Crisis — and what the smart money did last time, and what to do nowThe 100-year pandemic cycle — how Spanish flu, cholera, and COVID all followed the same pattern, and why Andrew saw COVID comingThe 90-year geopolitical cycle: how the polarization, rise of nationalism, anti-immigration sentiment, and challenges to global order we're seeing now mirror the 1930s decade almost exactly — including the economic conditions that led to the rise of fascismThe 250-year empire cycle — America at a tipping point, the petrodollar's quiet expiry, and China's strategic expansion while the West was distractedWhy Andrew predicted the Israel-Iran conflict to within 30 hours — the convergence of a 45-year cycle, a 90-year cycle, and a 36-year cycle, and why Netanyahu's personal history from the 1976 Entebbe raid has driven his policy decisions in Gaza and LebanonThe AI boom through the lens of cycles — why every major boom is fueled by new technology, and whether the return on investment can justify what's going in.Note: This conversation is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice.

That's the way I've always been trained and always looked at it, is that it is gonna give you what the psychology of the world is looking at things from a economic standpoint.” - Dwayne Kerrigan“ If you don't have to buy, keep saving, 'cause the chances are the house prices will come down, and then when we get to about 2031, 2032, that might be a good time to start looking.” - Andrew Pancholi“ Religious texts, philosophical texts, they all hide mathematical patterns within them. There is something secret hidden away. I mean, it's an open secret if you go and study it, but there are some patterns and years, certain mathematical patterns that do repeat in the bigger picture.” - Andrew Pancholi“ I put the, uh, message out on the Thursday evening to our subscribers saying, "This is gonna kick off, uh, I believe on tomorrow or, or Saturday," and it actually happened on Saturday.

Eric Bramlett wired his Austin brokerage into an AI system that flags exactly where the business is losing money.Eric Bramlett runs Bramlett Partners, the fastest growing independent brokerage in Texas, and he's been investing in Austin real estate since 2003. In this conversation he breaks down how he built an AI system that pulls from his revenue, email, and production data to answer one question, how's the business doing, and what needs attention. He also gets into why most investors overestimate how well they've actually analyzed their last deal, why the 2008 recession forced him to stop chasing side projects, and why he believes the next few years favor small operators over big companies when it comes to adopting AI.Key topics:Building an AI system that audits the brokerage's own dataWhy agentic AI favors small operators over big companies right nowThe reporting systems behind a growing Austin brokerageWhy he only hires the top 20 percent of agentsThe zip code level data showing where Austin opportunity actually isGuest bio:Eric Bramlett is the founder of Bramlett Partners, the fastest growing independent brokerage in Texas, and has been investing in Austin real estate since 2003.Links:

You've been using AI to write captions. Meanwhile, Claude is scanning inboxes, pulling reporting data, and blocking calendars at 4am before anyone's desk is warm. Three real workflows running in a real business - none of them have created a single piece of content.In this episode:Why your inbox is the right place to start - and why I wrote a different voice skill just for email responsesThe reporting task that used to sit on the to-do list for days - now done while she sleeps, no manual clicking requiredThe 4am time blocking workflow that means I sit down to a day already mapped - and why it's my favourite thing running in Cowork right nowThe difference between a skill and a task in Claude Cowork - and why getting it right keeps your automations cleanWhy using AI for content is actually the most boring use case (and what to do with it instead)Action step:Pick the admin task you've been putting off the longest - inbox, reporting, scheduling, it doesn't matter. Write down what you'd tell a VA to do. Step by step, what to look for, what to leave alone, what to do if it's not there. That's your Claude brief. Start there this week.Loved this episode?

If you're a woman in your late 30s, 40s, or early 50s and you've been feeling exhausted, foggy, anxious, or like a complete stranger in your own body… I need you to hear me right now. You are not broken. You are not going crazy. And you are definitely not "just getting old."Welcome to the era of metabolic intelligence! Today we are kicking off a two-part series that I genuinely believe is going to change lives. This is the exact information I wish someone had handed me five years ago when I was sitting in my car crying, wondering what the heck was happening to my body.In this episode, we are doing a deep dive into Perimenopause 101. We are breaking down the biological timeline of what is actually happening inside your body, the sneaky symptoms you're probably dismissing as just "life stress," and the four non-negotiable strategies you need to not just survive this transition—but actually thrive through it.Because here is the truth: The more we understand our bodies, the more control we have. And when you learn to work with your hormones instead of against them? Something magical comes out the other side. A whole new breed of a woman.

Agents ask me all the time how I stay so consistent with content while still running a real estate business.The answer is not motivation.It is a system.In this episode, I walk through the manual content infrastructure I use to create long-form YouTube videos, short-form content, captions, thumbnails, and platform-specific posts for my real estate brands.Most agents do not have a content idea problem.They have a content capture, execution, and infrastructure problem.You are already having conversations with buyers, sellers, lenders, agents, and clients every week. The challenge is turning those conversations into a repeatable content machine that actually builds trust, creates conversations, and supports your business.I show the manual version of my process:00:00 Why agents ask how I post so much01:15 The manual content system04:20 Deep research and topic development10:08 Titles, thumbnails, captions, and platform prep16:42 Turning one video into short-form content21:19 Why generic AI creates generic content22:17 Inside HIVO AI26:16 How to get beta access27:01 Why content infrastructure matters nowThe big takeaway:If your underlying strategy is generic, AI just helps you become generic faster.The real leverage is building a content system around your voice, your local market, your audience, your brand, and your actual real estate experience.That is why we built HIVO AI.HIVO AI helps real estate agents build a content machine without duct-taping multiple tools together every week. It helps with content planning, scripts, captions, thumbnail concepts, scheduling, content review, compliance support, channel auditing, and optimization.You still bring the expertise.You still bring the local market knowledge.You still bring the voice.HIVO helps organize and activate it.If you are a serious real estate agent who wants to build consistent content around your voice and your market, DM me to learn more about discounted beta access.#RealEstateAgent #RealEstateMarketing #AIForRealEstate #RealEstateContent #HIVOAI

Certified Master Life Coach, author, and speaker Lance Waterman joins the conversation to break down what accountability really looks like—and why most people get it wrong.From the biggest habit destroying potential in Seven Deadly Toxic Habits: The Dream Killers to the uncomfortable truth people avoid about themselves, Lance delivers a real, no-excuses perspective on growth.In this episode, we cover:Why people say they want change but fail to actThe difference between talking about accountability and actually living itThe hidden habit that could be sabotaging your success right nowThe mindset and behaviors that separate high performers from those who stay stuckIf you've been repeating the same cycles and can't figure out why, this episode will challenge you to take a hard look—and take action.

Most of us live convinced we are our thoughts — every worry, judgment, and story on repeat, mistaken for the self. This guided meditation offers a different way in: two simple but profound self-inquiry questions that take you beneath the noise of the thinking mind and into direct experience of your own presence.Using breath as an anchor and body awareness as the doorway, this practice moves you out of your head and into embodied stillness. Along the way, you'll be guided through a powerful technique — silently asking "I wonder what my next thought will be?" — and discover what actually happens when you go looking for it. For many people, the mind simply stops. A gap opens. And in that gap is something quieter, steadier, and more truly you than any thought has ever been.Whether you're new to meditation or a long-time practitioner, this episode is a gentle but potent reminder: you are not your thoughts, your feelings, or your beliefs. You are the awareness in which they arise — and that awareness is available to you right now, without effort, without changing a thing.In this episode:How to move attention out of the thinking mind and into embodied presenceA guided breath-based anchor for grounding in the here and nowThe self-inquiry question "I wonder what my next thought will be?" and why it quiets the mindThe deeper question "Who am I before a thought tries to tell me who I am?"Why a peaceful, present mind is the foundation of a powerful lifeWhy your thoughts are not who you are — and what lies beneath themKeywords: self-inquiry meditation, guided meditation, who am I, present moment awareness, embodied wisdom, mindfulness practice, ego and identity, stillness meditation, true self, consciousness, overthinking relief, anxiety and meditation, presence practice, spiritual awakening, non-dual awareness--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I help self aware professionals upgrade their mindsets to operate from a higher level in life.

In this episode we'll talk about:Why belief is the invisible architecture of every lifeHow the beliefs we inherited early — especially from people we loved and trusted — quietly shape what still feels possible nowThe specific danger of authority-based beliefs that we never examinedWhy some people are "lucky" to have been told empowering things — and why the rest of us have to consciously rebuildHow to identify the beliefs still running your life underneath the surfaceWhat becomes possible when you start believing what's actually true about who you are and what you can buildAnd more…START HERE…→ Join The Niche Is You® — my Substack (20K+) — Weekly essays, the full workshop library, the private community + the Quarterly Challenges.→ https://mattgottesman.substack.com/aboutNEW HERE…→ 6 Days to Clarity Workshop — clarity for your time, energy, money, creativity, work & play.→ https://mattgottesman.com/reverse-engineer-your-life (FREE)CONNECT WITH ME…→ Instagram — @mattgottesman→ TikTok — @mattgottesman→ YouTube — @mattgottesmanRESOURCES…→ Write • Design • Build — my Content Creator Studio & OS masterclass (Included when you join my Substack) — Growing the niche of you, your audience, reach, voice, passion & income — CLICK HERE→ Recommended Book List — CLICK HERE→ Apparel — thenicheisyou.comOTHER RELATED EPISODES:Faith Isn't Knowing the Whole Path… It's Taking the Next Honest StepApple: https://apple.co/3MB62IuSpotify: https://bit.ly/4rZw3RN

The FDA is hiding the truth about this increasingly common method of abortion. They are keeping back 125,000 pages of documents related to the process. Why? Because they don't want the truth to be known. They do not want transparency. That ends now. Medicine shouldn't be political and this has become political. Planned Parenthood lies about the trauma associated with the Abortion Pill - Medical Abortion, leaving women to undergo this traumatic procedure alone, isolated, completely unaware of the devastation and horror that awaits them. The FDA has time and time again relaxed the rules around the abortion pill - what the science. How much damage has been done? We don't know because the FDA is censoring the truth.You can help bring the truth to light by signing our petition (linked below.) Send a message the coverup stops nowThe rest of the team has finally reached Ireland, even the cats! Watch this week to see Top and Scaredy's trek across the world. Oh yeah and Phelim was there, too.This week we reveal the reality of being a cat in a dog's world, dealing with Big Government for small cats and Phelim's sudden need for a new t-shirt!And we do a bit of name-dropping this week. Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift got married over the weekend and we have a connection to the dress. We tell all on the podcast. And while some heroes are supposed to wear capes, others fight the British to found a nation. This week we reveal the big-budget movie that the Young Washington film, produced by friends of the podcast, beat at the box office. Hint: this movie was destroyed by toxic feminists, not kryptonite!Speaking of, Young Washington is truly a great film that deserves your attendance. You have to support good people making good movies. Please get your tickets (linked below) to make sure that this movie finally makes Hollywood take notice (and maybe start producing good movies again.) Speaking of the media and madness, is the Trans virus finally dying out? We bring you a brilliant interview on GB News (British Fox News) where a slimy politician gets some tough, but long overdue questions. Also, if there are people in your life struggling with children who have been brainwashed by the Transgender cult, we have a resource for them. This week we bring you heartbreaking but important accounts from the parents of trans victims that may make those victims you know realise they are not alone.

2026 is the first American election where AI is shaping every link in the chain of political power — from what campaigns put in front of voters, to how voters filter what they're told, to who tech companies are trying to elect.Matt Robison sits down with Katie Harbath — 25-year veteran of the tech-politics intersection, former Facebook elections lead, and author of the upcoming book Disrupting Politics: A Front Row Seat at the Collision of Technology and Democracy (Fall 2026) — to walk through her original survey data and what she's seeing on the ground right now.We cover:Her first-of-its-kind survey of campaign professionals: 87% use AI daily, and most campaigns still have no policy governing itWhy disclosure is more complicated than "just label it" — and the research showing labels can backfireThe voter side: only 9% say they use AI for political info, but that number is misleading once you count AI answers baked into a Google searchWhy Democratic campaign staff lean Claude and Republicans lean ChatGPT and GrokHard lessons from 2016 — and the new "flood the zone" risk Katie's most worried about heading into 2026 and 2028The most underrated vulnerability in American elections: the fog-of-war period between election day and certificationWhy state legislatures — not Congress — may be the most exposed to AI industry money and influence right nowThe forgotten story of Congress eliminating its own in-house science expertise in 1994, and what it has to do with today's AI policy gridlockKatie's own verdict on whether this is the first AI election — and possibly the last one where AI isn't the dominant issue

What if the real midlife crisis isn't running out of time — it's living like you have more time than you actually do?In this episode, Laurie gets personal. She shares the story of her dad, who spent decades saying "someday when I retire" — only to die five months after his retirement at 66, having collected exactly five social security checks after a 46-year career. That story cracked everything open for her. And it's the reason so much of the work at the School of Midlife is built around one urgent question: what are you waiting for?This episode isn't about panic. It's about clarity. It's a compassionate but honest look at the habit most high-achieving women share — perpetually deferring the life they actually want — and a practical reframe for how to start living it now, not someday.Laurie also introduces one of her favorite coaching tools, the Best Life Top 100, and explains why it is fundamentally different from a bucket list — and why that distinction matters more than it might seem.What we coverWhy Laurie doesn't believe in the "midlife crisis" — and what she believes is actually happening insteadThe story of her dad: 46 years of work, five months of retirement, and the lesson that changed how she looks at everythingThe "someday when I retire" trap — and why there is always one more reason to waitWhy the conditions will never be perfect — and what happens to women who keep waiting for them to beThe south of France thought experiment: what happens when you finally get to retirement and the life you imagined doesn't feel like yoursThe women who thrive in midlife versus the women who keep living the same year on repeatThe BEST LIFE Top 100: what it is, what it isn't, and why it's not a bucket listThe difference between a list built around doing things before you die — and a list built around how you want to live while you are aliveWhy the Top 100 women actually end up with looks almost nothing like the list they thought they'd write — and why that's exactly the pointThe quiet dreams versus the big bold ones — and why they belong on the same listThe question that cracks everything open: of the things on your Top 100, how many actually require you to wait?Why the direction matters more than the destination right nowThe challenge: write down one thing this week — and DM Laurie to tell her what it isQuotable moments"The real crisis in midlife isn't buying a sports car or having an affair. It's believing that you have more time than you actually do.""Dad had so many plans for retirement. Someday never came.""He worked 46 years of his life and was rewarded with five months of retirement.""There is always another reason to wait. There is always another something that comes up. Which means you keep deferring your dreams.""Life always has a way of life-ing.""The Top 100 is not about doing things before you die. It's about how you want to live while you are alive.""It's dreaming with intention. It's your living blueprint. It's your permission slip to stop waiting.""The list they end up with looks almost nothing like the list they thought they'd write.""Stop treating your best life like it's something that exists somewhere in the future, waiting for you to earn it or arrive at it or be ready for it.""The women who are the most fulfilled in midlife aren't the ones who have the most things on their list completed. They're the ones who started.""The real midlife crisis isn't running out of time. It's living like you have more time than you actually do."The challenge from this episodePick one thing you would put on your BEST LIFE Top 100 list. Something that would make you feel more alive, more aligned, more you. Write it down.

What could have destroyed her became the doorway to deep healing, embodiment, and spiritual awakening.Together, they explore how betrayal, burnout, and breakdowns aren't the end of the story, but invitations into truth, sovereignty, and wholeness.You'll hear:How betrayal rupture's identity and why insight alone isn't enough to heal itWho the Librarians are and the messages they're bringing through right nowThe difference between soul-growth pain and unnecessary sufferingWhy smart, spiritual people often miss betrayal signs—and how to release shameWhy the body must be included in rebuilding trust after ruptureThis is more than a conversation about relationships—it'sa conversation about remembering who you are after everything you thought was solid falls away.WHERE TO FIND LORA CHEADLEYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/loracheadlelifechoreographerInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/loracheadle/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LifeChoreographer/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lora-cheadle-lifechoreographer/Podcast: https://loracheadle.com/flaunt-podcast/Free Betrayal Recovery Guide: https://loracheadle.com/betrayal-recovery-guide/Free Monthly Energy Update from The Librarians: https://lora-cheadle.kit.com/e06ce40408Books:FLAUNT!

Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or spiritually drained? In this conversation, Max Lucado shares how biblical hope anchors us when life feels heavier than we expected.So many people are carrying a quiet weight right now. On the outside, life may look stable, even fruitful. But internally, there is a heaviness that is harder to name: anxiety, discouragement, and a growing sense that something just feels off.In this highlight from our full conversation (https://youtu.be/1K3Ar74ZSFs?si=ulY4g7QUKV12o_Va), host Jason Daye sits down with Max Lucado to explore why this heaviness is so common, and how the hope we talk about in church is often misunderstood in real life.Together, they discuss:Why so many people feel overwhelmed and emotionally exhausted right nowThe difference between biblical hope and surface-level optimismHow God's character becomes an anchor when life feels unstableWhy leaders must confront their own discouragement before leading othersHow remembering God's faithfulness reshapes our perspectivePractical ways to cultivate a steady, resilient hope in everyday lifeThis conversation invites pastors and ministry leaders to move beyond trying to hold everything together and instead rediscover a deeper, sustaining hope rooted in the presence and promises of God.If you've felt the weight but haven't known how to name it, this episode will help you reconnect with a hope that doesn't depend on your circumstances, but holds steady through them.Looking to dig more deeply into this topic and conversation?

Content creator and marathon runner Brett Chody joins us for what we're calling the sporty girl's guide to getting dressed — a practical conversation about building a wardrobe around an active life without sacrificing style.We get into all of it: how being an athlete shapes the way you see your body and get dressed, the bags she's investing in (and why she gravitates toward color over classics), her honest take on wearables and why she finally took off her Oura Ring, and the exact brands and pieces she reaches for every single day.We also talk about Bites Run Club — how a spontaneous Instagram story turned into 150 girls showing up to run Central Park, and why in-person community might be one of the most underrated things you can build right now. Plus the runner uglies, men's deodorant as a life hack, designing her own Nike shoe, and the wardrobe advice she gives every woman who moves a lot and actually wants to get dressed.Shop all items mentioned in the episode: https://shopmy.us/shop/collections/5831698In this episode, we get into:How being a marathon runner has completely shaped the way Brett gets dressed — and why athletes often have the most instinctive sense of personal styleThe sporty girl uniform that actually works: the exact jeans, tops, and shoes Brett reaches for when she wants to look put together without trying too hardWhy she sizes up in almost everything she buys — and why she tells her followers to stop looking at the tagThe bag conversation: why she invests in color over classics, the pistachio suede Chanel she ran a race for, and what her Bottega, Prada Cleo, and Andiamo all say about her styleHer honest Oura Ring confession — why she wore it every day for a year, what finally made her take it off, and whether she'd ever go backThe Apple Watch debate: why she thinks it's "tears" as a fashion accessory and what she actually wears on her wrist insteadHer go-to workout gear broken down by activity — what she runs in versus what she wears to Pilates, and why those are two very different wardrobesDesigning her own Nike Vomero+ colorway and why it felt like a full-circle moment from her Nike ID days in high schoolHow Bites Run Club started with one Instagram story and 150 girls showing up to Central Park — and why she thinks in-person community is what people are craving most right nowThe post-grad loneliness no one talks about — and how finding a hobby with a built-in community can change everythingThe deodorant hot take that stopped us in our tracks (hint: it's from the men's aisle)Her dessert bowl wardrobe breakdown: the piece she's had since high school that's still in heavy rotation, the brand she keeps buying in multiples, and what recently got retiredBrett Chody Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brettsbitesLet's Get DressedYouTube: www.youtube.com/@livvperezInstagram: www.instagram.com/letsgetdressedpodNewsletter: https://substack.com/@livvperezLiv Perez Instagram: www.instagram.com/livvperezTikTok: www.tiktok.com/livv.perezShopMy: https://shopmy.us/livvperezLet's Get DressedYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@livvperezInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/letsgetdressedpod/Newsletter: https://substack.com/@livvperezLiv Perez Instagram: www.instagram.com/livvperezTikTok: www.tiktok.com/livv.perezShopMy: https://shopmy.us/livvperez Hosted on Acast.

Mark Clermont is the CEO of Cecelia Health, and Wendi Mader is the company's Chief Commercial Officer. Cecelia is a virtual multi-specialty medical practice, licensed in all 50 states, that helps employers, payers, health systems, and life sciences companies manage chronic and cardiometabolic disease and bring down the cost of care. It's not a point solution. It's a medical practice that prescribes and manages medication (including GLP-1s, from prescribing through titration and side-effect management), runs intensive nutrition therapy, and handles behavior and lifestyle care, all through a team of RNs, RDs, certified diabetes educators, and physicians. The model is built to extend primary care, not replace it, and to coordinate across specialists instead of adding one more disconnected program.Mark and Wendi's argument is simple: chronic disease isn't winning because we lack apps or tools. It's winning because care is fragmented and nobody's tying it together. GLP-1s are making that worse before they make it better. They're the first drug class with indications spanning diabetes, obesity, sleep apnea, fatty liver, and soon addiction, which means a single patient can suddenly need four specialists who don't talk to each other. Cecelia's bet is that a multi-specialty practice can be the layer that connects all of it.We get into:Why chronic disease keeps winning even though there are more apps, tools, and wellness programs than ever, and what point solutions got wrongWhat actually happens to a patient with diabetes and high blood pressure inside Cecelia's model versus the system todayWhy GLP-1s are the first drug class to cross medical specialties, and why that's making fragmentation worse right nowThe patient on a high-dose GLP-1 and an SSRI who almost ended up in the ER, and what the direct-to-consumer prescriber missedHow the US can rank dead last among developed nations and still be the system Mark wouldn't trade for anywhere elseWhere the industry is over-indexing on AI in chronic care, and where Wendi thinks tech actually belongsThe specialty shortage, healthcare deserts, and rural-health funding, and how virtual coordinated care reaches patients brick-and-mortar can'tWhat's different for patients five years from now if Cecelia gets this right—Brought to you by: Sage Growth Partners — Value-focused strategy and marketing for growth-driven healthcare organizations. — Where to find Jared: • X: https://x.com/jaredstaylor • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jaredstaylor/

In this episode of The Product Podcast by Product School, Carlos González de Villaumbrosia sits down with Jay Choi, Chief Executive Officer at Typeform. Typeform is the AI engagement platform trusted by more than 150,000 customers, including 95% of the Fortune 500. Before Typeform, Jay spent seven years as Chief Product Officer and General Manager at Qualtrics, where the company scaled from $100M to over $1B in ARR.What you'll learn:Breadth of surface area as a stronger AI moat than depth of use case, and why going broad is the right strategic bet right nowThe dual posture Typeform built: a defensive strategy to make their core product impossible to replicate, and an offensive strategy to expand into full customer workflowsResearch Flow, their new product that compresses 50 customer interviews from weeks into hours using AI-moderated researchBeing model-agnostic from day one, and what they learned when switching models without an observability platform in placeThe pricing experiment framework Jay uses: 30 simulations before a single market goes liveKey takeaways:When AI threatens to commoditize your core product, expanding surface area is a stronger defense than adding AI features to what you already havePositioning AI capabilities in plain language, not technical terminology, is the difference between adoption and abandonmentHappy churners are a product problem, not a marketing problem: the fix is finding structurally always-on use cases.Credits:Host: Carlos Gonzalez de VillaumbrosiaGuest: Jay ChoiSocial Links:Find out more about Product School hereFollow our Podcast on TikTok hereFollow Product School on LinkedIn here

870 · 10 Reasons to Visit Shanghai Disneyland... and Why This Trip Changed MeChina is a long way to go for a theme park... but Shanghai Disneyland is not a theme park. It is a destination that happens to have a Disney castle at its center.Lou Mongello had the privilege of being invited by Disney for Shanghai Disneyland's 10th anniversary celebration, with time alongside the Imagineering team who built it. In this episode, he gives you 10 reasons to visit Shanghai Disneyland, and why right now, during its 10th anniversary, is the perfect time to go.Here is what you will hear:The one design decision that makes Shanghai unlike any Disney park you have ever set foot in, and why it disorients you in the best possible wayThe only place on Earth you can walk through Zootopia, a land so detailed that guests line up just to photograph the lamppostsWhy the tallest Disney castle in the world is something you go inside, not just photograph, plus the anniversary-only shows playing on it right nowThe trackless boat ride that fans who have been to every Disney park call their single favorite attraction, periodThe one land where Disney hands you the controls, and the climb that Lou says sends you back down a different personThe stunt show with a real, raging tornado on stage, performed more than 10,000 times with live performers inside itThe snacks worth flying for, the Cast culture built from scratch, and the brand-new Spider-Man land rising right now with its coaster track already complete!and much more!And stay with me to the end, because this is the part I did not see coming. This trip did not just give me new things to talk about. It genuinely, fundamentally changed the way I think about Disney parks, not just what I think about them, but how. I am going to explain exactly how, and why, and why it might just change the way you see them too.Whether Shanghai is already on your bucket list or you have never once considered it, this one might change your mind.

I've been coaching therapists since 2019, and I keep seeing the same trajectory play out, in my clients and even in myself. We move through five stages when we grow something, and one of them feels like proof that something has gone wrong when it's really the opposite. Most people misread it completely, pull back from the very thing that was working, and then blame the strategy. There's also a kind of discomfort that feels identical but means the total opposite, and confusing the two will keep you handing off the wrong thing at the wrong time.In this episode, I'm walking you through all five stages, how to tell which one you're in, and why all of this is really about buying back your time for the dance class you keep saying you'll get to.Topics covered in this episode:The importance of knowing the right moment to delegate in your private practiceThe 5 stages every therapist moves through when growing a business, and how to tell which one you're in right nowThe one feeling most therapists misread completely, and what it's actually trying to tell youThe mistake that makes a working strategy stop workingResources from this episode:Liberated Business: www.thebadtherapist.coach/liberatedbusinessBuy Back Your Time: Get Unstuck, Reclaim Your Freedom, and Build Your Empire by Dan MartellThe Big Leap: Conquer Your Hidden Fear and Take Life to the Next Level by Gay HendricksConnect with Felicia:Get my freebie & join the email list: The Magic SheetsInstagram: @the_bad_therapistWebsite: www.thebadtherapist.coachQuote:"Boredom doesn't mean something is wrong.

This episode is part of our occasional Fintech Revealed series, where we do an extended deep dive into one topic with two industry experts. The topic today is vertical fintech, and I am joined by Matt Hennessy, the Business Lead at Increase, the modern banking infrastructure company, and Jamie Fox, the General Manager of Fintech at Tekion, the AI-native cloud platform that runs the entire business for auto dealerships across the US, Canada, and the UK. Tekion built its embedded banking on Increase, so the two of them give us both sides of the same story: the platform that lives inside the dealership and the infrastructure that connects it to the banking system. We get into the surprisingly large money flows inside a single dealership, why paper checks still beat instant rails for many operators, how compliance and trust get engineered into the product, and just how big this embedded banking opportunity gets.What We CoveredWhat vertical fintech is and why it matters nowThe money flows hiding inside a single car dealershipWhy outbound dealer spend is roughly 2x inboundOperating account vs. ledgering account adoption pathsDealer-to-dealer payments as a ledger change with zero rail feesInstant rails: RTP, FedNow, and Request for PaymentThe persistence of paper checks and the cost to operationalize themDirect Fed access vs. layers of middlewareCompliance as code, codified into the productBuilding trust in building blocksWhere agentic payments and "know your agent" fit inHow large the embedded banking opportunity ultimately getsKey TakeawaysOwning the financial system of record inside core operating software is the defensible position in an age when light "systems of engagement" can be replicated with AI.Outbound payments, not inbound, are the bigger prize: US auto dealerships pushed out roughly $1.3 trillion in 2024, about 2x what they took in.The barrier to instant rails is education, not technology. Many dealers do not know RTP or FedNow exists, or that they can pay a vendor any day of the week.Trust cannot be launched all at once. Holding a dealer's operating cash is a different level of trust than processing a payment they can fall back on, and it is earned in building blocks.For the founding story and more about Increase, check out my conversation with CEO and Founder Darragh Buckley from last year.Connect with Fintech One-on-One:Tweet me @PeterRentonConnect with me on LinkedInFind previous Fintech One-on-One episodes

The deeper you go into psychic and energy work, the more sensitive you become, not less. If you're building a spiritual practice or just trying to understand why doing this work keeps leaving you wrecked, this episode is the one you didn't know you needed.About This Episode Rachel White spent nearly two decades as a Senior Vice President at a global corporation, quietly doing tarot readings out of her Chicago apartment on weekends. Today she runs TOTEM Readings in Austin, TX, serves thousands of clients worldwide, and just published The Business of Woo, a pragmatic field guide for anyone trying to build a legitimate, client-facing spiritual practice without the toxic positivity or the grift.What makes Rachel's perspective genuinely rare is this: she doesn't just practice energy healing and psychic work at a high level... she spent 20 years in corporate strategy before doing it full time. The result is one of the sharpest, funniest, and most grounded conversations we've had about the intersection of psychic abilities, modern spirituality, and what it actually costs to build something real around both.What You'll Hear in This EpisodeWhy developing your psychic abilities doesn't make you more protected over time. it makes you more permeable, and what that means for your daily life, your sleep, and your practiceThe single biggest mistake new practitioners make before they ever take a first paying client, and why your enthusiastic friends are not a market validation strategyWhy the Business of Woo is a $38 billion industry that is actively maturing, and what that means for anyone with a spiritual side hustle right nowThe pricing framework Rachel uses with her own mentoring clients, including why charging too much is often a red flag, not a signal of qualityWhat Rachel calls "the fake exorcism." A case study from her real practice that reveals exactly how fear-based manipulation works in the woo space, and how to spot it before it costs someone $10,000Why she tells herself out loud, several nights a week, that she will not leave her body in her sleep, and what that has to do with running a sustainable spiritual practiceWhy social media is structured more like a Ponzi scheme than a marketing channel, and what actually converts spiritual seekers into paying clientsThe one business move that outperforms Instagram, retreats, and online courses every single timeThe Bottom Line If you've felt drained, overstimulated, or emotionally gutted after doing spiritual or energy work for others, you're not doing it wrong... you're doing it right, and nobody warned you what comes next. Rachel did the hard work of figuring that out over sixteen years so you don't have to start from scratch.Listen, then tell us: Are you in the woo business, thinking about it, or just watching from a curious distance?

There is a particular kind of loneliness that hits in the middle of a full life. Not because you are isolated. Because the relationships that used to hold you steady are all being renegotiated at once. Your kids have left. A parent has died. A marriage needs new terms. A friendship has frayed. And the cultural rituals that once helped people move through moments like this are mostly gone.Bruce Feiler has spent the last three years traveling to 26 countries, attending over 100 ceremonies, and interviewing hundreds of people to understand what happens when we stop gathering in intentional ways. He's a seven-time New York Times bestselling author and the creator of the LifeQuakes framework. His new book, A Time to Gather, makes the case that we are living through both a celebration recession and a ritual renaissance at the same time.In this conversation, Bruce and Jonathan explore what it actually means to feel homesick in your own home, why the four traditional life rituals no longer match the lives most of us are actually living, and what it looks like to design a ritual from scratch when the ones you inherited don't fit.What you'll explore in this conversation:Why 5,000 Civil War soldiers were officially diagnosed as dying of homesickness, and what that history reveals about the longing you feel nowThe five building blocks of any ritual, from drawing the circle to creating a web of hope, and how to use them to mark a moment that mattersWhy Bruce calls this a celebration recession: what we stopped doing, when, and what's quietly replacing itThe live ritual Bruce helps Jonathan design in real time, walking through every step from welcome to closeWhy rituals are not just for grief and weddings, and the new ceremonies people are creating for divorce, mastectomies, miscarriages, sobriety, and career endingsIf you have ever felt the ground shift under you and not known how to steady yourself with the people you love most, this is the conversation for it.You can find Bruce at: Website | Instagram | Episode TranscriptNext week, we're sharing our conversation with Stanford professor Tina Seelig to talk about something most of us have completely backwards: how luck actually works, and why most of what we call luck is the result of deliberate actions hiding in plain sight. If you have ever wondered why some people seem to catch every break while others keep missing them, this is going to change the way you see that.

Most people plan their retirement like they control the date. The data says they don't. A new Society of Actuaries study found that 59% of retirees stopped working earlier than expected -- and for most of them, the decision wasn't theirs. Health setbacks, job loss, caregiving demands, and plain old job dissatisfaction all showed up before the spreadsheet said it was time. Joe and OG dig into what the numbers actually mean, who's most at risk, and the specific steps that create real flexibility before retirement finds you. OG and Anna follow with a full walkthrough of equity compensation -- RSUs, ESPPs, and stock options -- including the tax surprise that catches most people off guard.What You'll Walk Away WithWhy 59% of retirees left the workforce earlier than they planned -- and why only 6% left laterThe income gap nobody talks about: how high earners retire early mostly because they wanted to, while lower earners are pushed out by health and job lossWhy Coast FIRE math falls apart the moment your income stream stops before you planned -- and what that means for how aggressively you should be saving right nowThe one manager change that can end a 20-year career overnight -- and why keeping your network warm is one of the most underrated retirement prep moves availableThe 30-year mortgage paid like a 15-year analogy: why building financial margin now means retirement can happen on your terms, not someone else'sHow to prepare for the emotional side of early retirement -- including the identity shift, the relationship changes, and the pent-up demand that makes the first year unexpectedly wildRSUs versus stock options versus ESPPs: what each one actually means, how they're taxed differently, and why getting a grant without a strategy is the most expensive mistake in equity compThe 5-10% concentration rule: how much of your net worth should be tied to company stock -- and why your paycheck counts in that mathThe RSU tax trap: why your company withholds at 22% but you might actually owe 37% -- and why spending all your RSU money on a pool before April is a terrible ideaStacker Kiki's accountability letter: the complete list of what she's cutting, what she refuses to cut, and why the gamification of frugality is more powerful than white-knuckling itWhy This Matters NowYou may not get to choose your retirement date. But you do get to choose how prepared you are for the day it arrives. The people in this study who retired early by choice had one thing in common: they'd built enough margin that the choice was actually theirs.From the BasementJoe and OG dig into a USA Today piece on the surprising frequency of unplanned early retirement -- and what to do about it before the decision gets made for you. OG and Anna deliver episode five of their financial basics series with a full equity compensation walkthrough, including the tax withholding gap that sends people to April with surprise bills. Doug arrives with Mickey Mantle trivia. A community poll on how often Stackers check their portfolios during headlines produces results that are more honest than most people expected.

Today's episode of The Rizzuto Show somehow begins with everyone realizing a four-day work week may actually save society… and immediately spirals into discussions about bathroom troughs, tiny dong panic, and a Florida cop confidently ticketing a woman for holding her phone in the hand she literally does not have.So yeah. Pretty standard Thursday for your favorite daily comedy show.The crew debates whether Monday or Friday should disappear forever in the glorious future of shorter work weeks, and Lern admits she's somehow become more productive working fewer days. Which feels fake, but apparently science backs it up. Meanwhile, Rizz shares the emotional rollercoaster of his son's surprise birthday party after the poor kid spent all day convinced nobody loved him. Nothing says “family bonding” like emotional manipulation followed by chocolate cake.Then comes the story that absolutely broke the internet: a Florida woman gets pulled over for texting while driving… except the officer claims she was holding the phone in her RIGHT HAND. Tiny issue there: she doesn't have a right hand. The bodycam footage somehow gets even more awkward as the cop doubles down harder than a guy trying to explain crypto at Buffalo Wild Wings. The gang breaks down the absurdity of the situation, internet reactions, and why this may be the greatest accidental self-own in police bodycam history.The show also dives into:Why your car might secretly be your emotional support podSolo road trips vs. chaotic family death marches to vacationWhy men's bathrooms are still operating like medieval punishment chambersAI-generated urinal layouts nobody asked forThe rise of “looksmaxxing” and the terrifying world of modern male body anxietyWhy apparently dudes are hanging grocery bags from their junk nowThe science of tiny confidence vs. giant disappointmentThe return of late-night fast food culture for all you beautiful raccoon peopleBest burgers and brisket spots around St. LouisWhy Thursday might secretly be the best night to eat outAlso: Rafe casually reveals somebody once touched tips in the woods during Little League and honestly the show never emotionally recovers from there.This episode has everything: Florida chaos. Bathroom sociology. Relationship oversharing. Burger recommendations. Dong science. Emotional support vehicles. And enough sarcastic nonsense to legally qualify as group therapy.If you love weird news, hilarious fails, pop culture commentary, and a bunch of friends arguing about things no adult should argue about before sunrise, congratulations — this daily comedy show continues making questionable decisions for your entertainment.Thanks for listening to another episode of The Rizzuto Show — the daily comedy show proudly keeping St. Louis distracted from real responsibilities since forever.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today's episode of The Rizzuto Show turns into a full-on wilderness survival documentary… except nobody survives with dignity intact.The gang kicks things off talking about King Scott's rain-soaked blood drive experience, complete with lightning, wet parking lots, and accusations that his blood immediately got thrown in the trash because “ginger blood isn't FDA approved.” Real teamwork stuff. Then things somehow pivot into a full review of the St. Louis Aquarium, where Rafe realizes he's accidentally been recommending what may actually be a third-grade field trip destination to every adult tourist he's met for the last five years.Apparently, for the low low price of fifty bucks, you too can enjoy seven mirrors, stressed-out otters doing all the heavy lifting, and a ropes course so terrifying it nearly destroyed an entire family emotionally in real time. Nothing says “fun day in St. Louis” like watching a dad's cargo shorts lose a battle against gravity while suspended from the rafters of Union Station.But the true centerpiece of this daily comedy show is Riz's attempted baby deer rescue.A tiny fawn gets trapped inside an MSD fenced enclosure behind his house during a storm, and what begins as a heroic wildlife rescue instantly devolves into one of the funniest group-chat pile-ons in show history. Riz insists he “did everything he could,” while everyone else points out that his version of heroism mostly involved making phone calls, avoiding mud, refusing to climb a fence, and eventually taking a nap while the deer repeatedly knocked itself unconscious.Meanwhile, Moon keeps demanding bolt cutters, Lern is ready to climb barbed wire with a quilt like it's 1987, and Rafe essentially puts Riz on trial for crimes against masculinity. Somehow, despite all odds, the deer survives thanks to the ACTUAL heroes: two MSD workers who show up with keys while Riz continues defending his life choices from the warmth of indoors.Also in this episode:Why St. Louis weather feels personally offensive nowThe aquarium train ride narrated by a wildly underutilized John GoodmanWhy ropes courses are apparently medieval torture devicesThe ethics of touching wild animalsFinal week of school energyAnother kid crawling into a claw machineWhy everyone immediately turned on Riz in the group chatAnd the growing realization that “calling someone else” may actually be Riz's superpowerThis daily comedy show somehow combines wildlife rescue failure, aquarium disappointment, family trauma, weather rage, and public humiliation into one beautifully chaotic morning.Honestly? The baby deer may recover faster than Riz's reputation.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
