Ryan Hawk arrived at Miami University the day after high school graduation, with a plan to earn the starting quarterback job and make it to the NFL. Two years later, a 6'5" kid from somewhere in Ohio showed up and took the job away from him. That kid turned out to be Ben Roethlisberger. What Ryan did with that moment became the entire foundation of The Learning Leader podcast, one of the most respected leadership shows in the country, and his new book The Price of Becoming. He joins Joe and OG to talk about the habits, frameworks, and daily actions that compound into something exceptional -- and what to do when the plan doesn't survive contact with reality.What You'll Walk Away WithCoach Hepp's three-sentence leadership philosophy that Ryan has never forgotten: have a plan, work the plan, and plan for the unexpectedWhy being told "he gives us a better chance to win than you do" was the most valuable coaching Ryan ever received -- and what it teaches about adding value versus wanting creditThe imitate-then-innovate framework: why The Beatles were a cover band first, why Wayne Gretzky took handwritten notes watching players smaller than himself, and why copying the greats isn't theft -- it's the fastest path to finding your own voiceRyan's first draft pick for becoming exceptional: a five-to-ten minute nightly prompt exercise built around one Charlie Munger question that compounds like a great investmentWhy truth tellers -- people willing to look you in the eye and tell you what you need to hear rather than what you want to hear -- are the most underrated asset in any high performer's lifeThe superpower Ryan has found in every great leader he's interviewed across 11 years and hundreds of conversations: deep, specific curiosity -- and why it's the ultimate form of showing loveSweat more than you watch other people sweat: Scott Galloway's physical discipline framework applied to every area of lifeThe Brock Purdy late-round pick: why bringing a notebook to every meeting -- something almost no intern or young employee does -- is the single easiest way to stand out and learn fasterThe boomerang kids debate: why nearly half of Americans under 30 now live with a parent, when OG thinks it's a great idea, when he thinks you suck, and why it only works if there's a real plan with a real end dateJames from the community: how retiring at 52 let him become his daughter's bank in a hot real estate market -- loan document, market rate, free labor but zero say in the houseWhy This Matters NowThe gap between people who become exceptional and people who almost do isn't talent -- it's the daily actions they're willing to stack. This episode is the practical blueprint for what those actions actually look like.From the BasementRyan Hawk joins Joe and OG to talk about getting benched, the imitate-then-innovate path from cover band to original voice, and the five draft picks that build a great life -- including one that Joe immediately connects to hiding money from himself. The Wall Street Journal's piece on boomerang kids gives OG a platform to explain exactly when it's smart, when it's lazy, and why his kids should not take this as an invitation. Doug arrives with Cleveland trivia and the story of how a newspaper's cheap typesetting permanently changed the name of a major American city. James from the community sends a letter that makes OG quietly admit he was wrong about the appraisal.Resources MentionedThe Price of Becoming: The Compounding Practices of High Performance by Ryan Hawk -- available wherever books are soldThe Learning Leader podcast -- Ryan Hawk; available wherever you listen to podcasts; learningleader.comSteal Like an Artist by Austin Kleon -- referenced for the imitate-then-innovate frameworkSet for Life by Scott Trench -- referenced for Joe's kids; biggerpockets.comBroke Millennial by Erin Lowry -- referenced for Joe's kids; brokemillennial.comWall Street Journal -- "Living With Your Parents Is No Longer Viewed as a Failure to Launch" by Rebecca Picciotto and Nicholas G.

New Money Making Conversations episodes drop daily. I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Howard Hewett. He shared the journey that took him from Akron, Ohio, to becoming the lead singer of Shalamar and a successful solo artist. Beyond music, the discussion highlighted lessons that apply to entrepreneurship, business ownership, and personal success. The interview demonstrates that success is rarely accidental; it is usually the result of years of preparation, visualization, discipline, and honoring one's commitments. Key Takeaways 1. Success Begins with Vision Howard began visualizing his future long before he became famous. As a teenager, he practiced signing autographs and imagined himself performing for large audiences. Lesson: Create a clear vision of the future you want before opportunities arrive. Quote: "I always said, I'm going to live in California." Quote: "I would sit there literally and say, 'Love, Howard Hewett.'" 2. Visualization and Meditation Matter After moving to California, Howard developed a routine of sitting by a pool each day, visualizing successful performances and a thriving music career. Lesson: Mental preparation and visualization help build confidence and clarity. Quote: "Every day about 12, 12:30, I would go down to the pool and just visualize what I wanted to do." Quote: "I'd visualize singing in front of thousands of people." 3. Preparation Creates Opportunity One of the interview's central themes was that opportunity alone is not enough. Howard stressed that years of singing, touring, and developing his talent prepared him for the moment Shalamar called. Lesson: Preparation is what allows you to capitalize on opportunity. Quote: "You've got to be in the right place at the right time and be prepared." Quote: "You can be in the right place at the right time, but if you haven't taken the time to prepare yourself, that opportunity can slip away." 4. Every Experience Serves a Purpose Howard spent years performing in show groups and touring internationally before joining Shalamar. At the time, those experiences may not have seemed connected to his ultimate breakthrough. Lesson: What feels like a detour may actually be preparation for a bigger opportunity. Quote: "All those things... were preparing me for that moment." 5. Integrity Is More Valuable Than Contracts When Shalamar offered him a position, Howard still gave the Motown producers he was working with an opportunity to correct their payment issues because he valued his word. Lesson: Reputation and integrity often determine long-term success. Quote: "Your word is worth more than any piece of paper you could ever sign." Quote: "What you say you're going to do is what people look at." 6. Be Ready When Opportunity Knocks Howard received the Shalamar opportunity unexpectedly while sitting in a Motown office discussing unpaid money. Within three days he had auditioned, joined the group, learned choreography, and performed on television. Lesson: Major life changes can happen quickly if you're prepared. Quote: "Friday I got the offer. Saturday I did the audition. Saturday night I was on that plane." 7. Longevity Comes from Consistency Howard discussed having spent virtually his entire life singing professionally, beginning at age ten. Lesson: Sustained success comes from continually developing your craft over decades. Quote: "This is all I've been doing." 8. Sometimes You Must Ignore Skeptics When Howard was offered the lead singer position in Shalamar, people advised him against taking it, believing the group and its record label would not succeed. Lesson: Not everyone sees your opportunity the way you do. Quote: "Shalamar is nothing but a fly-by-night disco group. They won't amount to anything." Yet Howard trusted his instincts and accepted the opportunity that changed his life. Most Memorable Quotes On Vision "I always said, I'm going to live in California." On Visualization "I would go down to the pool and just visualize what I wanted to do." On Preparation "You've got to be in the right place at the right time and be prepared." On Missed Opportunities "You can be in the right place at the right time, but if you haven't taken the time to prepare yourself, that opportunity can slip away." On Integrity "Your word is worth more than any piece of paper you could ever sign." On Experience "All those things were preparing me for that moment." On Readiness "Because I was prepared, that's how that opportunity came about." Bottom Line Howard Hewett's story is not just about music—it is a masterclass on vision, preparation, persistence, and integrity. His journey shows that breakthroughs often arrive unexpectedly, but only those who have invested years in developing themselves are truly ready to seize them. His message is clear: Dream deliberately, prepare relentlessly, keep your word, and be ready when opportunity arrives. #SHMS #BEST #STRAW Support the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week we talk about cyclospora, FoodNet, and Taylor Farms.We also discuss iceberg lettuce, Taco Bell, and foodborne pathogens.Recommended Book: Babel by R.F. KuangTranscriptFoodborne pathogens cause about 48 million illnesses and around 3000 deaths in the US alone each year.The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is the main agency tasked with keeping those numbers as low as possible, and the CDC's Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network, or FoodNet, is one way that they've tackled this pernicious, persistent problem since 1995, in partnership with the Food and Drug Administration, the US Department of Agriculture, and 10 state health departments: those of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Maryland, Minnesota, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, and Tennessee.Collectively, this FoodNet network covers about 16% of the US population, which seems like a small number, and in some ways it is, but that grid of laboratories and surveillance sites has typically been capable of detecting foodborne problems before they've scaled-up into something more significant, growing from a localized issue into a nationwide outbreak. They're generally not capable of preventing them outright, but they can keep them relatively small and regionalized.FoodNet was created in response to a series of huge, deadly E. coli outbreaks in 1992 and 1993, and in contrast to other common methods of detection, which are usually passive and thus a little slow to respond to potential outbreak indicators, this program was built around active surveillance methods, which means proactively gathering data from medical treatment records, hospitalizations, and even individual patient outcomes (including their travel history)—anything they can pair with diagnostic samples to better understand the context surrounding the products that contain dangerous pathogens—and this was intended to help them move faster to identify issues, triangulate the source of those issues, and then implement measures to solve these issues before they harm a bunch of people, as happened during another round of E. coli outbreaks in 2012 and 2013, which sickened dozens of people across multiple states, about half of the afflicted requiring hospitalization, in addition to at least one known death.At its height, FoodNet tracked 9 pathogens, so it cast a pretty broad net, encompassing the most common and dangerous of these potential vectors, including listeria, campylobacter, shigella, vibrio, yersinia, cyclospora, cryptosporidium, e coli, and salmonella.In July of 2025, as part of a larger wave of sweeping cuts across the nation's safety nets, tracking systems, and scientific agencies, the CDC, under the second Trump administration, downgraded FoodNet so that it was only mandatory to track salmonella and E coli—the rest were no longer on the docket, because these agencies no longer had the budget to keep tracking them.What I'd like to talk about today is a recent, and as of the day I'm recording this ongoing, outbreak of cyclospora-induced cyclosporiasis, what we know about this outbreak, and what might happen next.—Cyclospora cayetanensis is a protozoan that can infect human beings, and which is usually transmitted via contaminated fruits and vegetables. This contamination is typically the consequence of inadequate sanitation standards, as it's not transmitted via coughing or blood or anything like that, it's carried via human feces.So this parasite gets into a human, sporulates, which means it releases a bunch of spores within its host, and then usually between 1 and 2 weeks after entering its new host, the host develops cyclosporiasis, the disease caused by cyclospora producing all those spores. This disease is notorious for sometimes causing what's colorfully called explosive diarrhea, alongside general watery bowel movements, intense cramping and severe gas and bloating, and that's sometimes paired with nausea, vomiting, fever, and dehydration, due to all the frequent, intense, watery bowel-movement-related output.This is how cyclospora reproduces and spreads: it infects a host, that host has urgent diarrhea for a while, usually more than two days, sometimes as long as several weeks or even a month or more, with all the pain and discomfort and life-disrupting issues you might assume from that sort of persistent symptom, and then it sometimes finds new hosts via that watery output.Sometimes, cyclospora works its way into food systems because sanitation standards at a particular farm will be not good. Specifically, workers will sometimes not be allowed to take restroom breaks, and they'll simply do their business right there in the field; so if they're sick and can't afford to take a sick day, and might be fired if they do, or if they're asymptomatic, which some people infected with cyclospora are, they might do their business in the field, unaware that waste can then go on to spread this pathogen into the food system. It's also possible that someone just doesn't wash their hands properly after using the rest room, and then gets back to work, picking vegetables or operating at some other level along the food processing and packaging assembly line, and it gets into the system that way.In a typical year, the United States records around 2,700 confirmed cases of cyclosporiasis, though on occasion it's as low as just a few hundred cases, the majority of which show up in health records in the Spring and Summer, between May and August. That range includes relatively mild outbreaks, so while this is a persistent issue, it's also not generally a massive one, at least compared to other pathogens of note. It's not pleasant for those who come down with it, of course, but not something that has triggered an organized response from the top, because of its meager scale, and because (again, while super unpleasant) people with healthy immune systems generally recover without treatment, even if that recovery can take a while. The biggest risk for most people who catch this disease is dehydration, though immunocompromised people are also sometimes given antibiotics by their doctors, the typical dosage curing about 96% of the people who receive it.There was a larger-than-usual outbreak of cyclosporiasis in the US in 2020, which caused a confirmed 1,241 cases across the country, a whole lot to land all at once, and there were no reported deaths resulting from that outbreak. Between 2018 and 2021, there were about 6,000 total confirmed cases across the US, so an average of about 2000 per year.As of mid-July 2026, the CDC has officially confirmed 1,645 cases of this illness, with another 5,100 probable or potential cases currently under investigation. If the majority of those still-under-investigation cases are confirmed, that would mean more people have already been infected as a result of this one outbreak in the first half of 2026 than were infected between 2018 and 2021, which again, is a range that includes the large outbreak that happened in 2020.Also worth noting about those numbers: that's federal-level, CDC reporting, and it's generally understood that there's a significant lag between local-level data and those that have percolated up to the national level. As of the day I'm recording this, Michigan's health agencies alone have more than 5,000 confirmed and suspected cases, Ohio has nearly 1,200, and other states, which are still investigating, are seeing dozens of confirmed cases, including 43 in Wisconsin, 69 in Maryland, and a few already, in the early stages of investigation, in Nevada.Over the past week, officials flagged shredded lettuce sourced from Mexico and sold by a company called Taylor Farms as the likely source of at least some of these cases, and that's led to a recall on lettuce produced by the company in 27 states. Over the weekend, the CDC found cyclospora in iceberg lettuce from the company's Mexican operations, as well, and this lettuce was part of a batch that wasn't included in the recall—so there's a good chance the recall will expand beyond the currently targeted products, which include shredded lettuce destined for Taco Bell locations in five states, and the kitchens of several other fast food chains, as well.Taylor Farms is one of the largest producers of fresh fruits and vegetables in the United States, and their products are sold all over the place, from lower-end fast food restaurants to more expensive grocery stores like Whole Foods.Taylor Foods has announced that it's voluntarily removing all iceberg lettuce sourced from central Mexico from shelves, even though none of its branded, in-store salad kits have been clearly tied to the outbreak, and Taco Bell has said that it's voluntarily removing all potentially affected lettuce from its locations in the five most-impacted states, indefinitely removing lettuce sourced from the implicated supplier; other brands are following suit, no one wanting to be associated with this outbreak, but everyone wanting to show would-be customers that they're taking it seriously.Interestingly, the FDA doesn't actually require that Taylor Foods tell the public who their products go to—which other entities might be selling infected produce. So they've released lists of product numbers, and again, many of their customers are taking the initiative to announce the removal of this lettuce from their shelves or food, without being prompted, but there's still some fog-of-war here, because of Taylor Foods' decision not to be clearer with that product list.So this is already the largest recorded cyclospora outbreak in US history, there have been 141 confirmed hospitalizations from the CDC, and that number is likely larger, again because it takes a while for state-level numbers to work their way up to the CDC, and to be reconfirmed at that level. Also important to note here is that a lot, perhaps even the majority of people who suffer from cyclosporiasis will never show up in these data, because they just suffer silently, either not realizing they have this parasite, or not seeing the point of going to the hospital, maybe paying an arm and a leg to do so, just to get prescribed anti-diarrheal medication and told to take fluids, same as they can do at home. People who do have any kind of immunodeficiency issues or potentially confounding factors, like being older or very young, are being encouraged to seek medical help, though, as they're more likely to suffer more serious consequences after contracting this disease.It's currently unclear where precisely this outbreak came from, and it's puzzling how an outbreak of this scale might have happened, as, in the words of Matthew Moore, a food safety microbiologist at the University of Massachusetts Amherst who was quoted in the New York Times, this many infections suggest there was a “massive degree of human fecal contamination.” So probably not just a farm laborer who forgot to wash their hands after using the rest room, something much more substantial than that.Also, because cyclospora takes a while, a week or two, to create enough spores in its host to trigger cyclosporiasis, attribution of the infection difficult, which in turn makes tracking it back to its source difficult; which is part of why this outbreak, which has been going on for weeks, is still under investigation, not a solved problem with definitive answers and in-practice solutions.Right now, experts are recommending higher-risk foods are cooked to at least 158 degrees F, because that temperature kills this pathogen, and washing fresh produce doesn't always get rid of all the cyclospora on a contaminated piece of produce. Washing fresh produce certainly helps, and it's better than nothing, and scrubbing is even better. They also recommend avoiding high-risk foods when possible, though of course that won't always be possible for everyone, nor will it always be possible to get heads of lettuce rather than pre-made salads, though that's also advised when feasible.Also worth noting here is that even if the FoodNet program was still up to full power, tracking all 9 of those original pathogens, it's unlikely this outbreak would have been prevented.It likely would have flagged that something was up earlier on in this outbreak, though, which could have led to faster action in the afflicted regions. It probably would have allowed professionals to note hot spots faster, as well, which is what this kind of surveillance system is for: it doesn't prevent, but it does make it more likely experts will have the chance to keep things from spiraling out of control.Show Noteshttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/16/well/cyclospora-taylor-farms-lettuce-taco-bell.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/15/well/eat/cyclospora-stomach-bug-what-to-know.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/17/business/cyclospora-taylor-farms-lettuce.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/17/well/eat/lettuce-safety-cyclospora-outbreak.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/17/health/cyclospora-taylor-farms-mexico-taco-bell-lettuce.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclosporiasishttps://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8471761/https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/00494755261437456https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/jul/16/diarrhea-outbreak-cyclospora-parasite-cdchttps://www.cdc.gov/cyclosporiasis/php/surveillance/index.htmlhttps://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/expert-qa/cyclosporiasis-outbreakhttps://www.forbes.com/sites/maryroeloffs/2026/07/17/taco-bell-warned-investors-about-cyclospora-before-the-outbreak-and-these-other-chains-did-too/https://www.today.com/health/disease/cyclosporiasis-outbreak-foods-avoid-map-cases-parasite-diarrhea-2026-rcna588006http://cnn.com/2026/07/18/health/cyclospora-what-to-do-wellnesshttps://www.statnews.com/2025/12/22/american-food-safety-funding-cuts-foodnet/https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/foodborne-disease/cdc-cuts-back-foodborne-illness-surveillance-programhttps://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/cdc-quietly-scaled-back-surveillance-program-foodborne-illnesses-rcna227089https://www.thelancet.com/journals/langas/article/PIIS2468-1253(25)00305-X/fulltexthttps://www.cdc.gov/foodnet/about/index.htmlhttps://www.food-safety.com/articles/10646-cdc-slashes-foodnet-surveillance-from-eight-foodborne-pathogens-to-twohttps://www.thermofisher.com/blog/food/foodnet-active-surveillance-for-food-safety/https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/18/health/taylor-farms-iceberg-lettuce-recall.htmlhttps://apnews.com/article/cyclospora-lettuce-recall-taylor-farms-taco-bell-8c8bb30fbd100e0c246cffeff6983753 This is a public episode.

Three cases dominating the national conversation. Three investigations where the questions outnumber the answers. And one retired FBI Special Agent who isn't bound by any gag order, any jurisdiction dispute, or any institutional concern.Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke for an extended discussion covering the Lindsay Clancy murder trial, the Nolan Wells investigation, and the Siders family case.On Clancy: the prosecution says she mapped her husband's errand. The defense says nine medications caused psychosis she couldn't control. The judge blocked other mothers from testifying and refused to split the trial. Jury selection is four days out.On Nolan Wells: friends left him on Horn Island without a phone or water. His body was found two days later. The friends' stories conflict. His Snapchat was allegedly erased. The FBI is analyzing digital evidence. Ben Crump's team says the case goes to a grand jury.On the Siders: sixteen children found in a twelve-by-twelve room in Ohio. Some nonverbal. DNA testing is underway after the AG labeled it "intrafamily." One defendant's attorney secured a gag order covering every official in the case. Elizabeth Siders was thirteen when her first child was born.Coffindaffer addresses each case from a federal investigative standpoint — what the evidence actually proves, where the gaps are, and who is being protected by the silence. This is the full conversation covering every segment in one discussion.Three cases. Zero easy answers. One agent who has spent a career finding them anyway.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

One family lived in the poorest corner of Appalachia. The other had a network television deal worth tens of thousands of dollars an episode. They could not have started further apart. They end in exactly the same place.Sixteen children were found in a Hamden, Ohio house on June thirtieth of 2026 — the oldest eighteen, unable to spell her own name, all of them in a twelve-by-twelve room. Four members of the Siders family face sixteen felony counts each and have pleaded not guilty. Months earlier, the state of Arkansas removed all four of Joseph and Kendra Duggar's children, and each parent was charged with four counts of endangering the welfare of a minor and four counts of false imprisonment. Both pleaded not guilty.Both sets of kids were kept off the books. Both sets of parents were charged with endangerment. Both sets of children are now in state custody.Then the split. A seventy-three-year-old man in the smallest county in Ohio could not post a three hundred thousand dollar bond, and a judge released him anyway because the county could not afford his hospital bills. Joseph Duggar posted six hundred thousand dollars and was flown home with his father in the courtroom.Tony Brueski walks the paper trail on both — the 2003 stern talk with a state trooper who never filed a report and is now serving fifty-six years himself, the statute of limitations that expired before police ever opened a file, and the eleven-season spin-off TLC premiered five months after canceling the show.All parties have pleaded not guilty. All of them get a trial. But only one family has a checkbook.END LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Criminal Mischief The Pike County Massacre – Episode Two: The House of Wagner For more than two years, investigators searched for the people responsible for one of the most shocking mass murders in modern American history. The evidence was painstakingly collected, hundreds of interviews were conducted, and countless theories—from drug cartels to family feuds—were examined. Yet as detectives slowly assembled the pieces, one family kept appearing at the center of the puzzle. The Wagners. In this second episode, Carolyn Ossorio follows the investigation as law enforcement begins narrowing its focus to a family that, from the outside, appeared hardworking, successful, and deeply devoted to one another. But behind that carefully maintained image was a rigid hierarchy led by Angela Wagner—a mother whose influence over her husband and sons has become one of the most unsettling aspects of the case. As investigators dug deeper, they uncovered a family dynamic defined by loyalty, control, and an unwavering belief that blood came before everything else. Prosecutors would ultimately argue that this culture of obedience helped lay the groundwork for an unimaginable crime. This episode explores the custody dispute involving Hanna Rhoden and Jake Wagner, the mounting evidence that began pointing investigators toward the Wagner family, and the painstaking detective work that transformed suspicion into one of the largest criminal investigations in Ohio history. We also examine how years of planning, digital evidence, forensic breakthroughs, and witness interviews gradually dismantled the appearance of an ordinary Appalachian family. As the circle tightens around the Wagners, one question begins to overshadow every other: Was this simply a custody battle that spiraled into violence—or had an entire family convinced themselves that murder was the only acceptable solution?

One conversation. Three cases. Every angle covered.Lindsay Clancy's murder trial begins with jury selection July 20. The prosecution's key evidence: she allegedly checked Apple Maps to time her husband's fifty-four-minute errand. The defense: nine medications, command hallucinations, and a medical system that failed her at every checkpoint. The judge blocked mothers from testifying about their own psychosis.Nolan Wells went to Horn Island for the Fourth of July with friends who came home without him. His body was found two days later. The friends are telling investigators different stories. The family says his digital data was wiped. The FBI is involved but says the sheriff has jurisdiction.Sixteen children were found in a twelve-by-twelve room in Ohio. Some couldn't speak. One was critical. DNA testing is underway after the AG described the situation as "intrafamily." A gag order has stopped every official from talking.Jennifer Coffindaffer, retired FBI Special Agent, goes case by case with Tony and Robin. She examines whether psychosis and premeditation can coexist in the Clancy case, what the conflicting accounts from Nolan Wells' friends reveal about the investigation's direction, and what the Siders DNA testing could mean for additional charges beyond child endangerment.Three different cases. Three different institutions that failed.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
The Siders family in Ohio and the Duggar family in Arkansas have never been mentioned in the same breath. After you hear this, you will not be able to separate them.Sixteen children were pulled from a Hamden, Ohio house on June thirtieth of 2026 — found by accident, when deputies arrived to serve a warrant on something else entirely. The oldest is eighteen. She cannot spell her own name. Four adults face sixteen felony counts each and have pleaded not guilty.Months earlier and hundreds of miles away, the state removed all four of Joseph and Kendra Duggar's children. Each parent faces four counts of endangering the welfare of a minor and four counts of false imprisonment. Both pleaded not guilty. Joseph separately faces two felonies in Florida involving a child under twelve.Both families kept their children off the books. No enrollment records. No medical records. No mandated reporter in the building. Both families ended up watching the state take their kids.And then the paths split. Bond in Ohio was three hundred thousand dollars, and one defendant's lawyer told a judge his client cannot afford any bond at all. Bond in Florida was six hundred thousand dollars, and Joseph Duggar posted it and flew home with his father in the courtroom.Tony Brueski walks both paper trails, including the Arkansas state trooper Jim Bob Duggar took his son to in 2003 instead of calling a hotline — a mandated reporter who filed nothing, and who is now serving fifty-six years on charges of his own. That is more than four times the sentence Josh Duggar received.Same play. Same missing paperwork. One checkbook.END LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

New Money Making Conversations episodes drop daily. I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Howard Hewett. He shared the journey that took him from Akron, Ohio, to becoming the lead singer of Shalamar and a successful solo artist. Beyond music, the discussion highlighted lessons that apply to entrepreneurship, business ownership, and personal success. The interview demonstrates that success is rarely accidental; it is usually the result of years of preparation, visualization, discipline, and honoring one's commitments. Key Takeaways 1. Success Begins with Vision Howard began visualizing his future long before he became famous. As a teenager, he practiced signing autographs and imagined himself performing for large audiences. Lesson: Create a clear vision of the future you want before opportunities arrive. Quote: "I always said, I'm going to live in California." Quote: "I would sit there literally and say, 'Love, Howard Hewett.'" 2. Visualization and Meditation Matter After moving to California, Howard developed a routine of sitting by a pool each day, visualizing successful performances and a thriving music career. Lesson: Mental preparation and visualization help build confidence and clarity. Quote: "Every day about 12, 12:30, I would go down to the pool and just visualize what I wanted to do." Quote: "I'd visualize singing in front of thousands of people." 3. Preparation Creates Opportunity One of the interview's central themes was that opportunity alone is not enough. Howard stressed that years of singing, touring, and developing his talent prepared him for the moment Shalamar called. Lesson: Preparation is what allows you to capitalize on opportunity. Quote: "You've got to be in the right place at the right time and be prepared." Quote: "You can be in the right place at the right time, but if you haven't taken the time to prepare yourself, that opportunity can slip away." 4. Every Experience Serves a Purpose Howard spent years performing in show groups and touring internationally before joining Shalamar. At the time, those experiences may not have seemed connected to his ultimate breakthrough. Lesson: What feels like a detour may actually be preparation for a bigger opportunity. Quote: "All those things... were preparing me for that moment." 5. Integrity Is More Valuable Than Contracts When Shalamar offered him a position, Howard still gave the Motown producers he was working with an opportunity to correct their payment issues because he valued his word. Lesson: Reputation and integrity often determine long-term success. Quote: "Your word is worth more than any piece of paper you could ever sign." Quote: "What you say you're going to do is what people look at." 6. Be Ready When Opportunity Knocks Howard received the Shalamar opportunity unexpectedly while sitting in a Motown office discussing unpaid money. Within three days he had auditioned, joined the group, learned choreography, and performed on television. Lesson: Major life changes can happen quickly if you're prepared. Quote: "Friday I got the offer. Saturday I did the audition. Saturday night I was on that plane." 7. Longevity Comes from Consistency Howard discussed having spent virtually his entire life singing professionally, beginning at age ten. Lesson: Sustained success comes from continually developing your craft over decades. Quote: "This is all I've been doing." 8. Sometimes You Must Ignore Skeptics When Howard was offered the lead singer position in Shalamar, people advised him against taking it, believing the group and its record label would not succeed. Lesson: Not everyone sees your opportunity the way you do. Quote: "Shalamar is nothing but a fly-by-night disco group. They won't amount to anything." Yet Howard trusted his instincts and accepted the opportunity that changed his life. Most Memorable Quotes On Vision "I always said, I'm going to live in California." On Visualization "I would go down to the pool and just visualize what I wanted to do." On Preparation "You've got to be in the right place at the right time and be prepared." On Missed Opportunities "You can be in the right place at the right time, but if you haven't taken the time to prepare yourself, that opportunity can slip away." On Integrity "Your word is worth more than any piece of paper you could ever sign." On Experience "All those things were preparing me for that moment." On Readiness "Because I was prepared, that's how that opportunity came about." Bottom Line Howard Hewett's story is not just about music—it is a masterclass on vision, preparation, persistence, and integrity. His journey shows that breakthroughs often arrive unexpectedly, but only those who have invested years in developing themselves are truly ready to seize them. His message is clear: Dream deliberately, prepare relentlessly, keep your word, and be ready when opportunity arrives. #SHMS #BEST #STRAW Steve Harvey Morning Show Online: http://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jennifer Coffindaffer covers all of it — Lindsay Clancy, Nolan Wells, and the Siders case — in one extended discussion with Tony and Robin.On Clancy: jury selection starts in days. The prosecution's strongest play is the Apple Maps evidence showing she timed her husband's errand. The defense says she was psychotic from nine medications. The judge blocked mothers from telling the jury what psychosis feels like. He denied splitting the trial into guilt and sanity phases.On Nolan Wells: an eighteen-year-old left on a federally protected island by friends who then gave investigators accounts that don't match. His Snapchat was allegedly wiped. The FBI is examining his phone. Nobody has been charged. Nobody has been cleared.On the Siders: sixteen children in a single room in Ohio. DNA testing underway after the AG called it "intrafamily." A gag order has locked down every official. Elizabeth Siders was a teenager when the first child was born. The question of who fathered those sixteen children remains unanswered.Coffindaffer, a retired FBI Special Agent, brings federal investigative perspective to each case. She addresses what the evidence supports, where each investigation is most vulnerable, and why the systems that were supposed to catch every one of these situations before they became national stories failed in every single case.This is the full conversation. Every case. Every angle. No gag order on this one.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Effort or Outcome? Do you focus on the effort someone puts forth? Or do you look at their outcome? Just because someone does something doesn't mean you get a good result. The government is one example. Restaurant service with a guaranteed gratuity is another. In this episode, we talk about Europeans in America, legislation introduced to benefit AI companies, Israel, and more. There are artificial hurdles or governmental hurdles that sometimes must be overcome, but there is also physical limitations that can not be overcome. We also talk about competition, value, and using logic instead of emotion. Use these lessons to make your world a better place!

But with technology and God's leading, a lot has changed as well.

Welcome to the weekly MormonNewsRoundup where Al & Dives ruminate on the great and spacious Beehive!
D. Todd Christofferson is one of the most senior leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. As a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, he has been one of the most recognizable voices in modern LDS leadership.His brother, Wade Christofferson, has pleaded guilty in federal court in Ohio to charges involving coercion and enticement of a m*nor. He now faces the possibility of a lengthy prison sentence.Wade Christofferson had previously been excommunicated from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints over CSA allegations, but was later rebaptized and returned to church membership. Reports have raised questions about his subsequent involvement in church settings and what safeguards were in place.This video is a complete supercut of the latest news coverage, commentary, and public reactions surrounding the Wade Christofferson case.The discussion has prompted difficult questions among both faithful Latter-day Saints and former members:• What did church leaders know, and when did they know it?• How were decisions regarding membership and church participation made?• Could more have been done to protect ch*ldren?• How should institutions respond when allegations of ab*se involve members with connections to leadership?This episode examines the reporting, reactions, and ongoing conversation surrounding this case.⚠️ Content note: This video discusses CSA and related legal proceedings.Subscribe to Mormon News Roundup for commentary, analysis, and discussion of news and issues involving The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.#MormonNewsRoundup #LDSChurch #WadeChristofferson #DarrenChristoffersonPlease consider making a donation by joining our Patreon https://www.patreon.com/MormonNewsRoundup Email: kolob@mormonnewsroundup.org Website: https://mormonnewsroundup.org/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mormonnewsroundup Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mormon_news_roundup/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100093511869924 X: https://twitter.com/NewsMormon New episodes LIVE every Sunday and Monday nights at 9:30PM ESTPlease like and subscribe and hit the notifications bell.

A quiet Ohio suburb is shattered when a 17-year-old girl, Mackenzie Shirilla, drives nearly 100 miles per hour into a brick wall, killing her boyfriend and a close friend while somehow surviving herself. Was it a tragic accident, a medical emergency, or a carefully calculated act of murder? This week, we examine the evidence, the trial, the toxic relationship at the center of it all, and the questions that continue to divide people over the case.

You can rent a bedroom where a little girl in a yellow dress still hums lullabies, a miner's casita in a Texas ghost town, or a schoolhouse tucked inside a working cemetery — and every one of these haunted Airbnbs is bookable tonight.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/AirBNBREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/3s9xb4btFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Spending the night in a haunted house is always unnerving, but would you pay for the experience? If you're looking for a spooky escape, maybe you could try a haunted AirBNB! You might not rest in peace in these haunted homes, but you're bound to have a memorable night preparing for paranormal activity, seeking the supernatural, and greeting ghosts. (Book A Stay At a Haunted AirBNB) *** Sawney Bean, said to be the leader of a 45-member clan in Scotland, is infamously accused of murdering and cannibalizing over 1,000 people in the early 16th century. His story inspired the horror film, ‘The Hills Have Eyes.' But did Sawney Bean ever truly exist? (The Man Who Inspired ‘The Hills Have Eyes') *** Nestled in the Kentish Weald, the quaint village of Stalisfield boasts a thousand-year-old church and timeless tranquility. But beneath its serene surface, whispers of ancient pagan rites and dark ceremonies linger. Could the chilling past of sacrificial rituals still echo through the village today? (The Stalisfield Blade) *** As dusk fell, a pickup truck pulled up to a motel outside Tarzana. Inside, Brother Elzibah and his monks prepared for a perilous mission, recording martyr statements and arming themselves with explosives. Their target on December 10, 1958: Krishna Venta, a self-styled prophet in Box Canyon. This night promised a dramatic showdown that would mark a violent chapter in the history of American spiritual communes, and the country's cults.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: April 29, 2024This episode of Weird Darkness roams from haunted rental homes you can book for the night to a Scottish cannibal legend, a Kentish village's whispered sacrifice rites, and the dynamite that ended a Southern California cult.It opens with a tour of haunted Airbnbs scattered across the United States and beyond, from Hobo Hill House in Jefferson City, Missouri — a 1910 American Foursquare where sightings of a man in a top hat drove the Clark family out and onto "The Dead Files" — to the Parks-Bowman Mansion in New Orleans, where guests booking the dead girl's bedroom report a young spirit in a yellow dress who hums lullabies and paces with a limp. The Kahn Hotel in Jefferson, Texas has logged over 300 paranormal investigations and one recording of a woman's scream followed by a gunshot; Farnam Manor in Richfield, Ohio traces its haunting to the owner's daughter drowning in a well in 1834; and a converted 1900 schoolhouse sits inside Cedar Park Cemetery in Hudson, New York, complete with an 18th-century opium wedding bed. The Creole Mansion in New Orleans, built in 1855 for Louise Vitry, and the Terlingua ghost-town casita overlooking Big Bend round out a list that stretches from Salem, Massachusetts to York, England.From there the episode turns to Sawney Bean, the legendary patriarch of a 45-member clan said to have lived in Bennane Cave along the Scottish coast, robbing, murdering, and cannibalizing more than 1,000 travelers across roughly 25 years before King James VI led a manhunt that ended in the men being executed and the women burned at the stake. Historical records first mention Bean in 1755, a century after he supposedly lived, and Scottish historian Dr. Louise Yeoman argues the tale may have started as English propaganda, with the name "Sawney" serving as a period slur against Scots. Wes Craven credited the Bean legend as the direct inspiration for his film The Hills Have Eyes.Next comes Stalisfield, a tiny hamlet in the Kentish Weald with a thousand-year-old church and The Plough Inn, where old villagers speak of pagan harvest rites tied to a flint sacrifice knife hewn from Kentish stone. The stories describe animals slaughtered on a sarsen stone and, in the darkest tellings, a golden-haired virgin tied to a stake, dismembered with the flint blade, her blood collected in a golden vessel and her ashes mixed with seed and scattered into the corners of the fields — corners locals still avoid after dark, marked by their overgrowth.The episode closes with Krishna Venta, born Francis Herman Pencovic in San Francisco in 1911, a barefoot self-styled prophet who claimed to have been born half a million years earlier on a planet called Neophrates and founded the WKFL Foundation on a 23-acre glen in Box Canyon. Two disaffected monks, Ralph Muller and Peter Kamenoff — who had taken the names Elzibah and Jeroham and accused Venta of sleeping with their wives — recorded martyr statements at a Tarzana motel and drove to the commune on December 10, 1958 with twenty sticks of dynamite in a musette bag. The blast lifted the top off the stone monastery, was heard more than 20 miles away, and killed ten people, including Venta, Cardinal Gene, and two children from the dormitories, seven-year-old Keela Baker and eleven-year-old Elwyn; survivors later scattered into other movements, among them members who died in Jonestown alongside Jim Jones' Peoples Temple in 1978.

In 2022, defense attorneys in Ohio were stunned when prosecutors rolled out a cutting-edge tool to place defendants at the scene of a crime. Cybercheck claimed to use AI and historical digital data to identify suspects. But when lawyers examined the technology for themselves, they couldn't figure out how it worked. Attention turned to Cybercheck's creator and expert witness Adam Mosher. The Canadian was cagey about the program's code and his own credentials. Even though the attorneys were sure they had evidence both Cybercheck and its creator were frauds, persuading judges and prosecutors that the miracle tool was a sham would be far more difficult. The latest season of the CBC Podcast “Uncover: The Expert Witness” recounts how lawyers figured out a computer program that claimed to identify criminals was not what it seemed. Host Sam Mullins interviews Adam Mosher, investigates his dubious technology, and asks why there are those in the justice system who still stand by Cybercheck's ability to solve crimes.

The United States fertility rate just hit 1.599 — that's an all-time low. We are not replacing ourselves. An entire civilization is opting out of its own future. And everyone wants to talk about tax credits and housing costs. Nobody wants to talk about what we spent 40 years putting on television in your living room. Right? Because if you wanted to design a curriculum that would teach an entire generation to distrust marriage, resent family, and view commitment as a trap — you couldn't have done a better job than prime-time television between 1987 and 2020. But here's what's interesting — the television wasn't the beginning. It was the delivery mechanism. The idea came from somewhere else entirely. And they were very, very clear about what they were doing.SPONSOR: Alliance Defending FreedomAlliance Defending Freedom is representing Daniel Grand, an Orthodox Jew whose Ohio city demanded a government permit before he could host a small prayer meeting in his own home.

When Ohio's Attorney General described the Siders case as "intrafamily," most of the coverage moved past the word. It shouldn't have. That term — used before DNA testing was complete — signals something the child endangerment charges don't capture.Sixteen children found in a twelve-by-twelve room in Hamden, Ohio. Some nonverbal. One critical. Elizabeth Siders was fifteen when she married Gary Jr. and reportedly thirteen when her first child was born. All sixteen children were delivered at hospitals. Truancy complaints filed in 2021 were never served. No CPS intervention. No school enrollment. No medical records beyond delivery.Jennifer Coffindaffer, retired FBI Special Agent, sits down with Tony and Robin to unpack what the DNA testing could confirm, whether Elizabeth Siders is a co-defendant or someone who was trapped in an environment she entered as a child, and what the gag order — filed by one defendant's attorney but applied to every official in the case — is actually designed to protect.Coffindaffer also addresses whether additional charges are coming, who the primary architect of this situation really was, and why a family that collected state benefits while keeping sixteen children invisible to every system managed to do it for eighteen years without a single intervention.Nobody is saying it on the record anymore. The gag order made sure of that. Coffindaffer says what they can't.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Ohio's Attorney General used one word to describe the Siders case that most people skipped right past: "intrafamily." That word isn't an accident. It carries implications that go well beyond the sixteen counts of child endangerment on the books against four adults.Sixteen children were found in a room the size of a walk-in closet. Some couldn't speak. One was flown to Columbus by helicopter in critical condition. Birth certificates list Elizabeth and Gary Siders Jr. as the parents of all sixteen, but DNA testing is underway — and the Attorney General's characterization raises the question of whether the family tree is exactly what the certificates say it is.Elizabeth Siders was fifteen when she married Gary Jr. She was allegedly thirteen when her first child was born. Her family says she was indoctrinated and estranged for fifteen years. Her attorney says she wants to be reunited with her children. Prosecutors say she's a defendant.Jennifer Coffindaffer breaks it all down with Tony and Robin — the DNA testing, the gag order that one defendant's attorney used to silence every official in the case, whether the grandparents were the true architects of eighteen years of isolation, and whether the charges on the table are anywhere close to matching what actually happened inside that house.The gag order is doing its job. The officials are silent. The public is not.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

DNA testing is underway on all sixteen children found in a single room in Vinton County, Ohio. The Attorney General has described the Siders case as "intrafamily." The birth certificates say Gary Jr. and Elizabeth are the parents. But Elizabeth was fifteen when she married and thirteen when her first child was born — and the public wants to know who fathered those sixteen children.Four adults are charged with child endangerment: Gary Siders Jr., Elizabeth Siders, and the grandparents Gary Sr. and Christina. A gag order filed by Gary Jr.'s attorney has silenced every official connected to the case — even though the other three defense teams didn't request one. The question is whether that order is protecting Gary Jr.'s right to a fair trial or shielding institutions from answering for their failure to intervene.Jennifer Coffindaffer, retired FBI Special Agent, joins Tony and Robin to address what the DNA results could reveal, whether Elizabeth should be treated as someone who was harmed by the same household she's charged with endangering, and what investigators may find when they start looking at the family's prior addresses.A forensic psychologist has publicly identified the grandparents as the "catalyst." A niece of Gary Sr. has claimed conditions weren't severe during her visits and suggested Gary Jr. is responsible for the deterioration. Coffindaffer examines who was really running this family — and whether the truth is even more complicated than either side claims.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Ever wondered why judges sometimes hold off making a decision after a big court hearing? The recent Charlie Kirk preliminary hearing in Utah is a perfect case study, and this episode explains what's really going on behind the scenes.I look at the mechanics of preliminary hearings, specifically highlighting the Kirk case in Utah. One concept is the judge's choice to delay an immediate decision and instead issue a written opinion later. This is a common part of the legal process, though it can cause frustration and anxiety for both the families affected and the legal teams involved.Judges sometimes need extra time to review evidence, consider legal arguments, and ensure their decisions are thorough and ready for appellate review.Takeaways:Judges frequently delay decisions after preliminary hearings to allow for careful review and written opinions 00:50.This process is normal and is meant to ensure sound, appeal-proof decisions that consider all evidence 01:31.Both victims' families and defendants experience the stress of waiting for a decision 03:15.The judicial system is not perfect, but these delays are built in to promote fairness and accuracy 03:32.Immediate rulings are possible, but in complex or high-profile cases, written rulings are more likely 02:42.Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat is a preliminary hearing? - A preliminary hearing is where the government must establish probable cause for the case to proceed to trial.Did the judge make a decision at the Kirk preliminary hearing? - No, the judge chose to delay the decision and announced it would be given at a later date, a process called "taking under advisement."Is it common for judges to delay decisions after a preliminary hearing? - Yes, it happens often, especially in complex cases or when written opinions are necessary for appeal-proof decisions.Why do judges sometimes request post-hearing briefs or memos? - Judges may request written arguments from both sides to incorporate into their final decision, ensuring a well-informed ruling.How does a delayed decision impact victims and families? - Waiting for a decision can be difficult and stressful for everyone involved, including victims' families and defense teams, but it's a normal part of the legal process.Submit your questions to www.lawyertalkpodcast.com.Recorded at Channel 511.Stephen E.

A forensic DNA test usually scans about 20 fixed markers of DNA. It may take a few days but it's enough to differentiate a suspect from the rest of the world with a near perfect level of certainty. Except for identical twins. It's not a perfect analogy but think of DNA as a 3 billion letter book. Most people have about 20 chapters that are completely different. For identical twins, their entire book is identical except for about 8 typos. Not 8 different chapters, or sentences, not even 8 different words. 8 letter typos amongst 3 billion letters. The technology to find these is only available at a handful of labs and costs hundreds of thousands, even millions of dollars. Thankfully, identical twin crime is rare. Except for Ohio. A woman who lives alone is raped and murdered in her own home, and the DNA left at the scene traces back to a set of identical twins. Two 13 year old boys are the main suspects but which twin is innocent? And which twin is guilty? Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
