June was a big month for our portfolio! We collected $879 in RECORD dividend income, but I also made some tough decisions, including selling Nexstar Media (NXST) shares after years of going nowhere. Sometimes, even good companies with great dividends just aren't working in your portfolio. I replaced it with Zoetis (ZTS) and kept building our core positions. In this update, I'll show you every dividend payment, explain my buy/sell decisions, and break down why we had a -$485 PADI month (it's actually good portfolio management, not poor performance). Whether you're learning about dividend investing or want to see real portfolio moves in action, this gives a full breakdown of how I manage our money with my 85% funds, 15% stocks strategy.Motley Fool 92% post: https://www.fool.com/investing/2025/03/05/want-to-outperform-nearly-92-of-professional-fund/Email Russ:

In this episode of The Resilient Show, Chad Robichaux is joined by clinical health psychologist and freediving instructor, Dr. Lindsay Bira.Filmed on North Bimini Island, their conversation unpacks how chronic stress and untreated PTSD inflame the body and accelerate heart disease, and why evidence-based exposure therapy, paired with slow-breath drills and the mammalian dive reflex, can reverse the damage. Chad and Dr. Bira plan dynamic- and static-apnea challenges that turn freediving into a “bench-press for the frontal lobe,” teach viewers how interoceptive breath-holds stop panic in its tracks, and explore faith, purpose, and community as force-multipliers for long-term healing and elite performance underwater and on land.Dr. Lindsay Bira, PhD is a Harvard-trained clinical health psychologist, trauma researcher, and PADI freediving instructor. Published in Nature and featured by NPR, Science, and Forbes, she previously served active-duty military and veterans for the U.S. Department of Defense. Today she leads Ocean Oriented, translating cutting-edge mental-health science into ocean-based training that builds resilience, performance, and well-being worldwide.Learn more about Dr. Lindsay Bira: https://www.drlindsaybira.comLearn more about Ocean Oriented: https://www.oceanoriented.com/Follow Lindsay: https://www.instagram.com/drlindsaybira/?hl=enRESILIENT:Live Resilient Store: https://theresilientshow.com/live-resilient-storeJoin Our Patreon: https://patreon.com/theresilientshowFollow Us On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/resilientshowFollow Us On Twitter:⁠ https://twitter.com/resilientshowFollow Us On TikTok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@resilientshowFollow Chad:⁠https://www.instagram.com/chadrobo_official⁠https://www.x.com/chadroboSPONSORS:Smith & Wesson: ⁠https://www.smith-wesson.com/⁠Vortex Optics:https://vortexoptics.comGatorz Eyewear: ⁠https://www.gatorz.com/⁠Allied Wealth:https://alliedwealth.comBioPro+: ⁠https://www.bioproteintech.com/⁠BioXCellerator:https://www.bioxcellerator.comThe Holy Waters:https://theholywaters.comGet The Resilient Show x Uncharted Supply Co Bag: https://liveresilient.com/shopTRS is a proud supporter of military & first responder communities in partnership with Mighty Oaks Foundation.

Czy deszcz może popsuć Demo Daysy? Niekoniecznie – zwłaszcza jeśli pod wodą czekają skutery, suche skafandry i… ukryty komputer nurkowy do wygrania. W tym odcinku rozmawiam z Kubą Cieślakiem o tegorocznej edycji Nurkowych Demo Daysów w nowej lokalizacji. Rozkładamy na czynniki pierwsze atmosferę wydarzenia – dosłownie i w przenośni – od pierwszego (trochę pustego) dnia, przez zanurzenie w testach sprzętu, aż po wnioski, jak ulepszyć kolejne edycje. Mówimy o potencjale Trytona, sile stałych relacji i o tym, dlaczego warto pielęgnować nurkową społeczność… nawet w kaloszach.

Vi tar en prat med Melissa Taanevig. hun er Regional manager i PADI for de nordiske landene. Hun kom rett fra en 2 ukers tur i Danmark, hvor hun har reist rundt og besøkt dykkesentere.

Czy można dobrowolnie dać się związać, zanurzyć na kilkanaście metrów i jeszcze wyjść z tego… w jednym kawałku? W tym odcinku rozmawiam o projekcie, który miał w sobie wszystko: kaftan bezpieczeństwa, głębokość ponad 40 metrów i niemiecką ekipę telewizyjną z głową pełną pomysłów. Franek Przeradzki razem z Michałem Kosutem analizowali ryzyko, projektowali kaftan, trenowali Wilsona Gonzalesa i – co najważniejsze – przygotowali scenariusze awaryjne, których nie życzyłbym nawet najtwardszym nurkom. Było napięcie, był zagubiony klucz, była euforia. A wszystko to w najgłębszym basenie świata. Co z tego wyszło i czego nauczyliśmy się na przyszłość? Posłuchaj – to historia, której się nie wymyśla.

Czy nurkowanie może być punktem zwrotnym w karierze – niezależnie od tego, czy masz 20, 40 czy 60 lat? W dzisiejszym odcinku rozmawiam z ekipą Deepspot o programie stażowym, który daje realną szansę na zanurzenie się w zawodowy świat nurkowania. Mówimy o tym, kto trafia na staż, jak wygląda nauka w praktyce i dlaczego nawet osoby bez wcześniejszego doświadczenia mogą wyjść z niego jako przyszli instruktorzy. Poruszamy też temat różnorodności, elastyczności i… odwagi, bo przecież każda zmiana zaczyna się od jednego kroku – albo pierwszego zejścia pod wodę.

Czy sprawdzilibyście stan techniczny autobusu przed szkolną wycieczką dziecka? No właśnie. A czy wiecie, jak zweryfikować kwalifikacje instruktora, który zabierze Wasze dziecko pod wodę? W tym odcinku rozmawiam o tym z perspektywy rodzica, nurka i kogoś, kto widział, jak różne mogą być standardy w tej branży. Mówimy o aktywnych statusach, wiarygodnych organizacjach, tajemniczych certyfikatach i o tym, dlaczego niektóre strony szkół nurkowych wyglądają, jakby zatrzymały się w 2005 roku.

Czy nurkowanie może uratować… wspomnienia? W dzisiejszym odcinku rozmawiam z Dagny z Centrum Nurkowego Płetwal o nietypowej, ale szalenie potrzebnej inicjatywie – Pogotowiu Płetwonurkowym. Od telefonów zgubionych podczas spływu kajakowego, przez obrączki z wakacyjnych oświadczyn, aż po… bombę z czasów II wojny światowej – Dagny opowiada o tym, co ludzie gubią pod wodą i jak jej zespół pomaga to odzyskać. Są porady, są emocje, są anegdoty i jest sporo sentymentu. Bo czasem dno jeziora skrywa więcej niż się spodziewamy.

Czy można połączyć testowanie nowego sprzętu nurkowego, chill nad jeziorem i nurkowe pogaduchy w jednym miejscu? Można – i to właśnie podczas Demo Daysów. W tym odcinku rozmawiam z Jakubem o nurkowym święcie, które w tym roku zmienia lokalizację i przenosi się nad jezioro Kłodno. Opowiadamy o tym, co będzie się działo, dlaczego warto przyjechać ekipą, i jak nowy piątkowy dzień branżowy może otworzyć ciekawe możliwości dla szkół i instruktorów. Dorzucamy wspomnienia z nurkowego safari, wraki na Morzu Czerwonym i trochę sprzętowych tipów. A wszystko to w duchu wspólnej pasji i… mokrej przygody.

Czy poranna kawa może uruchomić lawinę dobrych zmian? Dla Mateusza – jak najbardziej. W tym odcinku rozmawiam z nim o akcji sprzątania Jeziora Kierskiego, którą sam zainicjował i w którą wciągnął lokalną społeczność nurków. To nie tylko nurkowanie po śmieci, ale też budowanie wspólnoty, edukacja i odrobina zdrowej rywalizacji. Mówimy o wsparciu miasta, nagrodach, bezpieczeństwie i o tym, jak nawet osoby z niewielkim doświadczeniem mogą zanurzyć się w coś większego niż tylko woda. Bo czyste jeziora nie robią się same.

This week, we're looking at the connection between ocean health and human health. And the benefits that a healthy ocean can bring to us. Easkey Britton transports us to the West Coast of Ireland, where she grabs her surfboard and plunges into the cold Atlantic Ocean.

Scuba diving has been stuck in the stone age for a while. Here is a recap of, in my opinion, why we are going to catch up to the other big sports rather quickly. We've all seen the endless, well-intentioned attempts at a new dive app like how to find dive locations, log a dive, or an agency app (like PADI, NAUI, SSI, SDI, BSAC, CMAS, etc.). But I see people light up when they realize they can store ALL of their certs and cross-validate dive logs. It tracks professional divers and operators so you can get validated by pro from any agency. The other big one is the fact it notifies you of divers in your area. Buddy Radar is a dive buddy finder, and it actually goes off quite a bit when I travel. This is a game changer as more people get on the app. It's got buckets of other features that continue to impress me. I hope you love this recap that has been 2 years in the making!

#AskMarkThis week on the podcast, Eight people, including two Britons, remain missing following the sinking of the Red Sea dive liveaboard Sea Story yesterday (25 November). Four bodies are reported to have been recovered so far. Australian Diving Instruction, a PADI 5* instructor development centre in Geelong, south of Melbourne in Victoria, has been fined Aud $40,000 (£20,460) for the explosion of an out-of-test scuba cylinder that resulted in a diver's leg being blown off. A 25-year-old man from the UK has died after reportedly losing consciousness while scuba diving off Greece's Attica coast near Athens, on the afternoon of 24 November.A Chinese diver wearing a brightly coloured novelty hood is reported to have been bitten on the back of the head by a tiger shark at a popular Maldives dive-site.https://divernet.com/scuba-news/health-safety/8-still-missing-after-huge-wave-sank-red-sea-liveaboard/https://divernet.com/scuba-news/health-safety/dive-school-fined-for-explosion-that-cost-instructors-leg/https://divernet.com/scuba-news/health-safety/british-diver-dies-in-greece-instructors-arrested/https://divernet.com/scuba-news/health-safety/tiger-bites-divers-head-at-maldives-shark-tank/ Websitehttps://www.scubadivermag.comInstagramhttps://www.instagram.com/scubadivermagazine/Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/scubadivermag/YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/c/ScubaDiverMagazine/Scuba Diver Magazinescubadivermag.com/subscriptions

New Georgia House Minority Leader Carolyn Hugely let it be known she's not well with Senator Jon Ossoff. She unleashed on him while on WABE's "Politically Georgia" podcast earlier this week, but I must admit, I felt the need to finger-wag a bit in her direction. I mean, is this necessary? Why is she picking a fight with a U.S. Senator up for re-election in two years? What concession(s) has she come to based on one person's characterization in a two-person conversation? Not cool; not the time. While I'm offering my thoughts to state party leadership, I shared, today, a list of objectives I'd like to see the new state Democratic Party chair implement. My guest today is Elizabeth Weill-Greenberg from The Appeal. She's covered recent strife between Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens and council over a pre-trial diversion program it appears he tried to undercut for reasons no one can (or will, in his office's case) explain. Council went ahead re-upping with PADI despite the mayor's curious end-around antics, even with a new in-house diversion center now in the picture.

The BiG Scuba Duo, Gemma and Ian chat to Aniela Martin.  Aniela Martin is a scuba diver and an offshore hydrographic surveyor, working as part of a large team out at sea mapping the seabed and collecting geological information.   Aniela has a deep passion for the underwater world that began after her first ever scuba dive whilst on holiday as a teenager. Having just finished high school she wasn't sure what career path to take but her first adventure into the underwater world sparked a passion and strong curiosity for all things in the sea. Aniela  went on to study Oceanography at Southampton university and during her studies became a PADI divemaster, working the summer breaks at a dive centre in Southern Italy.   Aniela has been working as a hydrographic surveyor for three years now which involves mapping the seabed for various scopes such as scientific research, projects concerning green energy installations- wind farms, and communication links. Most of the projects she works on involve the use of ROVs (Remotely Operated Vehicles) which use cutting edge technology allowing high resolution data, especially in deep water. Aniela's passion, aside from the underwater world is communication - Being able to convey her love for the big blue.

In episode 151 of the Outdoor Minimalist podcast, we explore the joy of camping at any age!  Many guests I've had on the show share their experiences from a young age, getting outside and growing up with a love for nature.  But what happens when you don't have a childhood that fosters that connection? How can you get started?  Today, we're chatting with the Vice President of Operations at Girl Camper, who shares her journey from novice camper to community leader.  Growing up in Nebraska, Lesa's early camping memories were made in a musty canvas tent in her backyard. Though her family wasn't into camping, they spent countless hours outdoors, laying the foundation for her passion. Lesa is a true adventurer at heart, with an impressive background as a golf pro, ski instructor, PADI divemaster, EMT, and lawyer. As Vice President of Operations for Girl Camper, she now oversees business operations and manages the website, all while contributing to the magazine and hosting exciting events.

They stress the significance of being prepared for medical emergencies to ensure the safety of participants. 24:08 Three rangers died in a tragic accident, one of whom was driving without 4-wheel drive knowledge, leading to a rollover in Mohave National Preserve. The vehicle was displayed at the park headquarters as a reminder of the dangers of four-wheeling. 30:02 Overlanding tours require 4WD vehicles for camping at various sites each night before sundown. The tours prioritize getting to camp early for dinner, and there are always interesting activities. 36:05 It's essential for permitted outfitters to adhere to guidelines in backcountry tours to preserve the environment and maintain their permits, as not doing so could result in significant repercussions and damage their reputation in the industry. 36:38 Bob is deeply committed to promoting environmental ethics and sustainability through his work as a master tread trainer for Tread Lightly. He emphasizes responsible off-roading and leaving campsites cleaner than they were found. 43:30 Hybrid vehicles provide extended range with both battery and internal combustion engines. Toyota is showing interest in hydrogen engines, such as their new v eight hydrogen engine, using hydrogen as an alternative to traditional fuels like gasoline or diesel. This approach aims to create an electric vehicle that runs on hydrogen directly, rather than converting it to electricity. 48:34 Praising Starlink tours with OBD 2 connector for diagnosing check engine light, but limited by the type of connector. 57:14 Not all Jeeps are great on the highway; consider your specific needs and usage before purchasing a vehicle. 58:16 Desire to shift focus to off-road safety training and build a professional association for training instructors in the industry, inspired by witnessing the success of a similar association in scuba diving.
