This spring, swimmers in Kent were told to avoid ten beaches in the county due to sewage leaks. Public outrage at sewage pouring into our rivers and beaches has so far focused on water companies. But is someone else to blame? The pipes that carry sewage in Kent are not owned by Southern Water, or even Kent County Council. They belong to a massive Australian asset management firm that most of us have never heard of. Asset management firms are not household names, but they've come to own our energy systems, hospitals, schools, and even the pipes that supply our drinking water. So who are these shadowy companies? What even is asset management? And why are they buying up the things we need to keep our society going? Ayeisha Thomas-Smith is joined by political economist and economic geographer Brett Christophers to discuss his new book Our Lives in Their Portfolios: Why Asset Managers Own the World.

The first Gen Z member of congress joins us on the latest episode of Talking About Guns. 26-year-old Representative Maxwell Frost recounts the “emotional whiplash” of attending the Newtown vigil in DC at age 15 and how it “made me uncomfortable to a point where I've devoted my life to fighting for a world where people don't have to feel that kind of pain.” The former national organizing director of March for Our Lives explains why the first bill he introduced on the Hill was to create a national gun violence prevention office. He unpacks the frustrations of his colleagues telling him off the record that they want to act but fear breaking from their party.

Summary Notes: Before scientists understood gravity and electricity, it seemed like magic, but what we call magic is just science (a process) we do not understand. The algorithm of the universe operates on  feelings, which is the same as belief, and that what we feel to be true gives birth to our experience. Our Emotions guide the chemicals that flow through our body.  As we learn to be in Harmony with our natural state of positive emotions, it improves the flow of chemicals through our bodies improving our long term health.   It's no breaking news to state that governments use the media to control what people think.  Control of information flow is how religions also maintained power over society before the invention of the printing press. Social media works a bit differently than other systems because the user has more control over the algorithm based on what information the user pays attention to.  The same Universal Law applies to money.  How we Feel about money (abundance or lack) gives birth to our future experience with money.     Timestamps 0:01:23 Exploring the Algorithm that Operates the Universe: Understanding the Power of Belief and Emotional Intelligence 0:03:22 Exploring the Impact of Emotions and Beliefs on Our Lives 0:09:05 Exploring the Science Behind Gentrification 0:10:53 Exploring the Power of Emotions and Free Will to Achieve Success   Join the Wealth Building Made Simple Newsletter: https://www.wealthbuildingmadesimple.us/subscribe Powered by Stone Hill Wealth Management https://stonehillwealthmanagement.com/   Phillip Washington, Jr. is a registered investment adviser.  Information presented is for educational purposes only and does not intend to make an offer or solicitation for the sale or purchase of any specific securities, investments, or investment strategies.  Investments involve risk and, unless otherwise stated, are not guaranteed.  Be sure to first consult with a qualified financial adviser and/or tax professional before implementing any strategy discussed herein.

Our Lives & Politics with Booker Scott – "Children are growing, maturing people, dependent upon their elders for moral, spiritual, ethical, and practical guidance. They are not something to be shaped, fabricated, or spent in the manufacturing, production, or political process." - Earl Zarbin. It's been over 27 years since this was written, yet we still fail to protect and nurture our children. Let's change...

Book Vs. Movie: The Best Years of Our Lives The MacKinlay Kantor Novel Vs. the 1946 Classic FilmThe Margos continue their journey through post-WW2 America with one of the most celebrated movies of the 20th Century--The Best Years of Our Lives. The film was based on the novel Glory for Me by MacKinlay Kantor, who wrote the story of wounded GIs dealing with trauma in blank verse form. He started as a war correspondent in London and flew in some bombing missions. Glory for Me was an unglamorous look at what war makes people do to survive the experience and struggle to live a “normal” life afterward. He based his characters on real soldiers he had met while on his assignments and was passionate about telling the truth. Kantor eventually won the Pulitzer Prize in 1956 for Andersonville, a Confederate prisoner-of-war camp. He was unhappy with director William Wyler's take on his work which he felt was sanitized and disrespected actual war veterans. Wyler had flown in combat missions over Europe on the Memphis Belle and had his ideas on how to tell the story he set in fictional Boone City. He hired top actors Dana Andrews, Myrna Loy, Teresa Wright, and WW2 veteran Harold Russell, who suffered a debilitating injury while serving in WW2. The movie would go on to win a slew of Academy Awards (including two for Russell!) and is considered a classic. So between the book and movie--which did the Margos like better?

229 // Applying Our Four Pillars: Connection, Being Present, Unconditional Love, & Healthy Boundaries When we first started Find the Magic, we realized through research and experience that many of the strategies and ideas we found in books boiled down to four pillars: Connection, Being Present, Unconditional Love, & Healthy Boundaries. We labeled these pillars because they figuratively hold up the loving, kind, respectful homes we are striving to cultivate. We have found that if you are seeing behavioral issues with children or a lack of peace within yourself, these pillars can serve to help you recalibrate. In this episode we discuss how to ACTUALLY apply and do these four pillars.  Time Stamps 10:00 - What are the Four Pillars? 11:09 - When our kids openly disobey 13:32 - The stories we tell ourselves are important and shape our responses 16:08 - Wholehearted parenting leads to kids who honor their own and others emotions 20:07 - How do you “make” a child do something? 21:51 - Pillar #1: The importance of connection  24:10 - Connect in the moment by acknowledging emotion and truly seeing them 25:58 - Physical touch is a meaningful way to connect in the moment 28:50 - Child Whisperer – type 3 energy 32:10 - Preventative connection - acknowledging when kids are behaving well, holding hands, etc. 33:22 - Caregiving tasks ARE connection times 35:23 - Pillar # 2: Being present 37:00 - Wholehearted attention some of the time is WAY better than half-hearted attention always 38:20 - See the present moment as the main event rather than the precursor 41:26 - In yoga the transition to the posture is the posture 43:05 - Mantra for being present is “Here I am.” 45:00 - A human need is to be witnessed 47:27 - Pillar #3: Unconditional Love 50:00 - What does love look like when I misbehave? 54:07 - Pillar #4: Healthy Boundaries 55:05 - Hold boundaries early 1:00:00 - Maintain boundaries for yourself - take time to refuel Related episodes Four Pillars of Wholehearted Parenting We Apply to Any Problem 223 // The Power of Being Present NOW HOW TO Reconnect with Life, Your Marriage and Your Kids / Deep Dive into Connection Let Your Phone Be a Tool Not Your Master: Screen Detox Tips and Boundaries for Real Life 183 // Putting Our Attention on the Beautiful Call of Our Lives with Johann Hari's Stolen Focus Curbing Your Screen Attachment How to WAKE UP to Your Life Links & Books Mentioned Blue spaces: why time spent near water is the secret of happiness Good Inside // Dr. Becky Kennedy Sponsor: GABB WIRELESS We LOVE devices that help our kids stay safe and be able to adventure while still being able to contact us safely and allow us to know where they are without being the kind of technology that steals their mental health and attention.

In a study of contrasts, Donald Trump and Trump wannabes are gathered in Indianapolis as we recorded this week's podcast. They are all paying homage to the National Rifle Association at the gun manufacturing groups annual convention … even as Governor Whitmer signs two more gun safety laws opposed by the NRA into law with state and national leaders of March for Our Lives at her side…and additional laws working their way through the Legislature. The national debate over reproductive rights grows even more heated. Just before we started recording, Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito — who wrote the Dobbs decision overturning Roe – has issued a short stay on the Texas court ban on the abortion drug mifopristone. In Michigan, the Governor and Attorney General have joined forces with their Democratic counterparts nationally in challenging the initial court finding. We'll talk about the how this debate is nothing but bad news for Republicans. It's not just reproductive rights under national attack. Republican legislatures across the nation have declared war on transgender Americans. We're joined on the pod this week by Emme Zanotti, Director of Advocacy and Civic Engagement, for the Equality Michigan Action Network.  Emme is a dedicated advocate for equality with integral roles in candidate campaign management, statewide caucus leadership, progressive coalition advisory, non-profit board service, and enhancing LGBTQ+ issue awareness and protections in the private sector. As a transgender woman who too often relied or had to rely on self-advocacy, Emme's passion is in coalition-building, empowering fellow-LGBTQ+ Michiganders to enter the advocacy arena, and making sure the community is well-represented at the tables where decision-making is happening about their lives and well-being.  She is a former board member at Stand with Trans where she still facilitates a monthly support group for young trans women, and she most recently served as co-Chair and Vice Chair of the #HateWont Win Coalition and the Michigan Democratic Party's LGBT&A Caucus. =========================== This week's podcast is underwritten in part by EPIC-MRAEPIC ▪ MRA is a full service survey research firm with expertise in: • Public Opinion Surveys • Market Research Studies • Live Telephone Surveys • On-Line and Automated Surveys • Focus Group Research • Bond Proposals - Millage Campaigns • Political Campaigns & Consulting • Ballot Proposals - Issue Advocacy Research • Community - Media Relations • Issue - Image Management • Database Development & List Management =========================== Stories We're Following This Week Republican Attacks on Transgender Americans GOP state legislatures pass historic surge in bills targeting LGBTQ rights - The Washington Post Trans kids feel unsafe and stressed at school.

Poet and philosopher Jennifer Michael Hecht shares how poetry provides joy, insight, and wisdom. In her latest book, “The Wonder Paradox: Embracing the Weirdness of Existence and the Poetry of Our Lives,” Hecht ponders our need for the sacred, and says that seeking out a poem or verses that speak to our daily challenges in life can become a kind of secular replacement for faith. Later, Hecht openly talks about her bouts with depression and offers hope to those reckoning with suicidal ideation.  

Five years after March for Our Lives, one of the historic protest's organizers and his historic friend explain why it's easy to forget how much progress has been made. Plus, Rep. Frost breaks some news about his first proper piece of legislation. This episode was produced by Victoria Chamberlin and Siona Peterous, edited by Amina Al-Sadi, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Paul Robert Mounsey, and hosted by Sean Rameswaram and Noel King.

Sean Illing speaks with poet and historian Jennifer Michael Hecht, whose new book The Wonder Paradox asks: if we don't have God or religion, what — if anything — do we lose? They discuss how religion accesses meaning — through things like prayer, ceremony, and ritual — and Jennifer speaks on the ways that poetry can play similar roles in a secular way. They also discuss some of the "tricks" that poets use, share favorite poems, and explore what it would mean to "live the questions" — and even learn to love them — without having the answers.
