Last month, Conn-Selmer – a manufacturer that's said to be the last to produce brass musical instruments in the United States – announced that it would be closing its plant in Eastlake, Ohio.And while it's not exactly an unfamiliar story, this situation has a bit of an interesting twist: the production is reportedly going to a Conn-Selmer plant in China, and the company's owner, John Paulson, has been an outspoken critic of offshoring.On the line are 150 union jobs and Conn-Selmer workers, members of UAW Local 2359, are predicted to lose their positions at the end of June. According to the union, they'd planned to bargain a new contract last month when, instead, they were told the plant would close. Leaders called it “a slap in the face.”A recent report by the BBC cited union workers who claimed Conn-Selmer has had a plan in the works for a while. They said the company opened a new facility in China last year and the Ohio plant's workload gradually began to shift overseas – even though workers were allegedly told that the China plant would not have an impact on the U.S. factory's workload.#ConnSelmer, #ManufacturingNews, #Offshoring, #USManufacturing, #MadeInUSA, #FactoryClosure, #UnionJobs, #UAW, #OhioManufacturing, #BrassInstruments, #MusicIndustry, #JobLoss, #LaborNews, #SupplyChain, #ChinaManufacturing, #IndustrialNews, #AmericanJobs, #EconomicNews, #PlantClosure, #ManufacturingIndustry, #CNBC, #BBCNews

After 14 years as a licensed therapist, Hilary walked away from her practice because she stopped believing in the long-term model. Therapy, she argues, is powerful when you are in a true crisis or dealing with real mental illness. It can pull you out of the hole. But once you are stable, why are so many smart, capable women still sitting on the couch week after week talking about the same problems? At some point you have to face the fact that therapy isn't moving you forward. This conversation challenges the culture of endless processing, over-identifying with labels, and outsourcing your clarity to a paid professional. Insight feels good. Validation feels even better. But are you being challenged? Are you building skills? Is there a clear endpoint? Hilary makes the case that awareness without action keeps you looping in the same patterns, and that real evolution requires structure, accountability, and someone strong enough to tell you the truth. The question she leaves you with is simple and a little uncomfortable: are you actually moving forward, or are you just really good at talking about why you are stuck? Episode Highlights: When therapy is absolutely the right tool and when it is not How long-term therapy is actually a problem Why insight alone rarely creates real change The cultural obsession with labels and attachment styles What to look for if you want growth instead of endless processing Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Why I Walked Away From Therapy 03:02 When Therapy Actually Works 06:12 How Therapy Creates Dependence Instead of Self-Trust 11:53 Why Insight Alone Does Not Create Change 15:10 The Problem With Endless Therapy and No Clear Endpoint 17:53 Coaching vs Therapy for Real Personal Growth ✨ I'm Hilary Silver, LCSW, former psychotherapist turned master coach and founder of Ready for Love. I help high-achieving women show up in love as confidently as they do in their careers.

Johnny Chafin, a political commentator and host of The Johnny Chafin Show,  joins us to share how he went from a two-time Obama voter to an outspoken conservative in deeply blue Los Angeles. His political evolution started with a willingness to engage seriously with people who challenged his worldview. "I thought everybody gathered information the way I did — weighing the source, questioning the agenda. I didn't know people weren't like that." What began as open-minded conversations with a close friend who supported Trump eventually led to Johnny taking a public stance of his own — even at the cost of friendships and social belonging. "The stakes felt too high to stay silent." In this conversation, we reflect on our own shifting political perspectives and why it takes real courage to change your mind when new information challenges old assumptions. People forget that life often means choosing between imperfect options, based on imperfect information — guided by our deepest values. We discuss: Media literacy, bias, and censorship Free speech absolutism and the Skokie case "Oikophobia" — the rejection of one's own culture Emotional manipulation in political discourse Family structure, gratitude, and civilizational inheritance One of our favorite moments comes when Johnny shares how a college class on political extremism shaped his understanding of free speech: "A truly free society preserves speech even when it's offensive. You can't leave that power in the hands of the government." This episode isn't about party loyalty. It's about intellectual flexibility, civilizational gratitude, and the courage to question dominant poltical narratives. If you've ever felt politically homeless or isolated for your view this conversation is for you.   3:30 – The "Slow Awakening" How a close friend's support for Trump sparked years of questioning and debate. 08:00 – When Politics Became Existential 10:30 – From Private Views to Public Voice The gym T-shirt moment that launched his media presence. 15:00 – Media Manipulation & Election Interference The events that fundamentally shifted his trust in institutions. 18:00 – Social Isolation & Speaking Out The personal cost of political dissent in Los Angeles. 22:00 – Emotional Politics & Gun Control How debates often hinge on emotion rather than principle. 24:00 – Oikophobia Explained The concept of civilizational self-hatred and its historical parallels. 28:30 – Hollywood, Tech, and Cultural Silence Why powerful voices stay quiet — and why that matters. 38:00 – Family, Two-Parent Privilege & Outsourcing to the State The cultural implications of broken family systems. 43:00 – Intellectual Flexibility How he was able to change his mind — and why more people don't. 45:00 – Media Literacy & Free Speech The college class that shaped his understanding of free speech absolutism. 47:30 – Final Reflections Gratitude, responsibility, and preserving civilizational inheritance.

The fatal shooting of two Minnesota residents by federal agents has contributed to the fiercest public backlash yet against the Trump administration's hard-line immigration policy. The man widely seen as the driving force behind this controversial approach, is White House Deputy Chief of Staff, Stephen Miller.Born in 1985 and raised in liberal Santa Monica, California, Miller is the grandson of Jewish refugees. Outspoken from an early age, he made his name as a teenager through conservative talk radio appearances and student newspaper columns, before gaining national attention at Duke University defending members of the lacrosse team falsely accused of rape.From fringe political outsider to trusted adviser, Miller has gone on to shape some of the most consequential policies of the Trump era, including the so-called Muslim travel ban and family separations at the border. So, as immigration once again dominates the US news agenda, Becky Milligan examines how he got here.Production Team: Presenter: Becky Milligan Producers: Laurie Kalus, Katie Solleveld, Sophie Van Brugen and Keiligh Baker Production Coordinators: Maria Ogundele and Gemma Ashman Sound: James Beard Editor: Justine LangArchive: Fox News Paramount Miller Brewing Co.

Most financial advisors would love to work with likeminded people with similar beliefs and worldviews to their own, but are wary of being too outspoken or transparent online so as to not alienate potential clients or lose business. Our guests, Zach Teutsch, Founder and Managing Partner of Values Added Financial, and Tim Caban, EA, CFP®, Founder and President of Copper Beech Advisors, have both built successful financial advisory practices by being open about their political beliefs and worldviews on social and digital media, attracting right-fit clients while discouraging those that are less compatible. In this episode exploring differing perspectives, guest hosted by Marie Swift of Impact Communications, we discuss how this strategy works in practice, how it can shape an advisor's client base, and what it means for trust and long-term relationships.

“Trying to change that perception has been the most challenging thing post career…It was K-Mart the player and Kenyon the person. I didn't let a lot of people know Kenyon the person.” Kenyon Martin Sr The former NBA All-Star, No. 1 overall pick, and one of the most relentless competitors of his era, Kenyon Martin Sr. sits down with The Pivot Podcast for a powerful, unfiltered conversation about basketball, family, and the evolution of manhood. From his rise out of Dallas to leading the New Jersey Nets to back-to-back NBA Finals, Kenyon reflects on the edge and intensity that defined his playing career—and how that same fire often shaped how he was perceived. Now, with greater perspective, he opens up about the difference between being seen as a player versus being understood as a man. He opens up about the power of his voice now, how he strives to speak from experience and how his biggest post-career challenge is being able to show the world the difference from K-Mart the player vs Kenyon the person.... The conversation takes on new depth as Kenyon discusses watching his son, Kenyon Martin Jr., carve out his own NBA journey. He speaks candidly about fatherhood, pride, restraint, and the responsibility of letting your child become their own person while still standing firm in loyalty and protection as a parent. Beyond the game, Kenyon shares lessons on accountability, family-first values, standing on principle, and how growth sometimes requires rewriting narratives—both public and personal. This episode is about legacy, love, and learning when to pivot without losing who you are.
