This week, we're continuing our archive miniseries, Myths That Built Trickle-Down Economics, with the myth that austerity is responsible economic policy. We're revisiting this conversation now because the austerity playbook is still very much alive. The Trump administration and DOGE have cut federal agencies, pushed out public servants, and treated public infrastructure like waste — even though those are the systems we need most during a crisis. And if the economy turns downward, politicians will almost certainly reach for the same old answer: slash public support, make working people pay the price, and call it responsibility. Nick and Goldy talk with professor and political economist Clara Mattei, author of The Capital Order: How Economists Invented Austerity and Paved the Way to Fascism, about how austerity became one of the most powerful myths of modern capitalism, how economists helped sell it as common sense, and why it has always been about more than budgets. Clara Mattei is a professor of economics at the University of Tulsa, Founding President of FREE: Forum for Real Economic Emancipation, and author of The Capital Order: How Economists Invented Austerity and Paved the Way to Fascism and Escape from Capitalism: An Intervention.

In our 43rd episode of This F*cking Guy, Erin and Alyssa dive deep into the past of the Jelly Bean Jack*ss, Ronald Reagan. From his B-list acting days, to "fighting" WWII from Culver City, to being an FBI rat, to his unforgivable  handling of the AIDS crisis, to mucking up foreign affairs for decades to come, this may be one of our most deluded guys yet.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

GABRIEL WILENSKY – How Christian Teachings About Jews Paved the Road to the Holocaust How did centuries of religious teachings and cultural attitudes contribute to one of history's darkest chapters? In this compelling episode of The ‘X' Zone, Rob McConnell welcomes author and researcher Gabriel Wilensky to discuss his important work examining the historical relationship between Christian teachings about Jews and the conditions that helped foster antisemitism in Europe prior to the Holocaust. Drawing upon extensive historical research, Gabriel explores how certain interpretations, doctrines, and attitudes that developed over centuries influenced public perceptions of Jewish communities and contributed to prejudice, discrimination, and social exclusion. He discusses the complex historical factors that preceded the rise of Nazi Germany and how long-standing cultural narratives can shape societies over time. During this thought-provoking conversation, listeners will gain insight into the historical roots of antisemitism, the importance of understanding the past, and the lessons that can be learned to combat intolerance, hatred, and discrimination in the present day. Gabriel also examines the efforts of religious institutions, historians, and educators to address these issues and promote greater understanding and reconciliation. Join us for a fascinating discussion that explores history, faith, responsibility, and the enduring importance of remembering the past to help build a more inclusive future.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

It's Summer! Time to head to your favorite beach or mountain vacation destination. For many, the dream is to own a vacation getaway.  Following a liquidity event, many entrepreneurs buy that dream. They envision ultimately leaving that property to their children to enjoy for years to come. Unbeknownst to them, if not handled properly, these properties can sow the seeds of future family conflict. Today, I'm joined by two of my colleagues who specialize in just this sort of thing: Kellie Hall and Michelle Soto. Kellie and Michelle are planning professionals who each have many years of experience guiding families through tricky governance issues. At Biltmore, we frequently see families with treasured intergenerational properties. While these homes and estates can provide families with lifelong memories, they can also be the source of conflict. Over their careers, Kellie and Michelle have seen it all. On this podcast, they provide actionable advice on navigating the pitfalls of shared family vacation properties.This podcast was recorded on February 17, 2026.  The respective opinions expressed are those of Ms. Hall, Ms. Soto and Biltmore Family Office, LLC..  The opinions referenced are as of the date of this podcast and are subject to change without notice.  This material is for informational use only and should not be considered investment advice.

Have you ever walked into a performance review knowing you've done exceptional work, only to realize the decision about your compensation may have already been made? Have you wondered how to advocate for a salary increase when the process itself feels unclear—or even nonexistent? And what happens when you discover that the negotiation you thought you were having is actually way more complicated than you originally thought?In Part 1 of this two-part episode, I sit down with Ann, a nonprofit professional who entered a salary negotiation with confidence in her performance, clear evidence of her contributions, and a goal of securing a merit-based raise. But as she dug deeper into her organization's compensation practices, she uncovered a much bigger challenge: a lack of transparency around promotions, raises, and career advancement.In this episode, I'm sharing how to identify the negotiation behind the negotiation, why understanding stakeholders can completely change your strategy, the importance of giving yourself enough runway before a high-stakes conversation, and so much more.If you're preparing for a performance review, considering asking for a raise, or working in an organization where promotion and compensation decisions feel like a black box, this episode offers valuable insights you won't want to miss. Tune in to hear how Ann navigated competing priorities, difficult timing constraints, and a critical decision about what to negotiate first—and why these lessons could save you from making costly mistakes in your own career conversations.And stay tuned for Part 2, where we'll dive into what happened when Ann ultimately moved forward with negotiating for herself within an imperfect system.MENTIONED IN THE EPISODE:⚉ [Podcast] #6 Negotiating Paid Maternity Leave | What if they ask for salary expectations in the job application? - https://www.buzzsprout.com/2323468/episodes/15140435 ⚉ [Podcast] #29 Part 1: The Negotiation That Changed a Company: How Naeha Secured Paid Leave and Paved the Way for Others - https://www.buzzsprout.com/2323468/episodes/18122723 ⚉ [Podcast] #30 Part 2: The Negotiation That Changed a Company: How Naeha Secured Paid Leave and Paved the Way for Others - https://www.buzzsprout.com/2323468/episodes/18228628 —This podcast is a call-in show, so if you or a woman you know needs help in this area, feel free to contact me at joan@moonnegotiation.com to submit your questions or join me in our next episode. JOIN THE PRIORITY LIST FOR JOAN'S NEXT COHORT OF THE ADVANCED NEGOTIATION INTENSIVEhttps://course.moonnegotiation.com/Join-the-Priority-ListCONNECT WITH JOAN:⚉ Website: https://www.moonnegotiation.com/ ⚉ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joanmoon413/ ⚉ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/moonnegotiation⚉ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@moonnegotiationJOIN THE MAILING LIST FOR NEWS AND NEGOTIATION TIPS:https://www.moonnegotiation.com/newsletter Send us Fan MailThe Aspire For More podcast and all related content are presented solely for general informational, educational, and entertainment purposes.

2. HEADLINE: Historical Alienation: From the 1953 Coup to the 1979 Revolution GUEST AUTHOR: Nilo Tabrizy SUMMARY: Nilo Tabrizy explores the deep historical grievances that paved the way for modern Iranianunrest. The discussion centers on the 1953 coup against Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh, orchestrated by the CIA and MI6 to counter his popular push to nationalize oil. This foreign interference, combined with the Pahlavidynasty's disconnect from starving citizens—symbolized by the Shah's lavish party at Persepolis—fueled long-term alienation. These wounds provided the momentum for the 1979 Revolution. Tabrizy explains that the current regime's brutality is an extension of this historical struggle for autonomy and the people's rejection of autocratic rule. 21585

They discuss how capitalism maintains itself through market dependence, exploitation, and austerity, and why escaping it requires building alternative institutions rather than relying on elections or reforms within the capitalist state.Steve and Clara are largely aligned in their critique of the system, but there are some disagreements. They debate aspects of MMT, including how interest rates, state spending, and monetary sovereignty function across different contexts. Their differences open up a deeper discussion about the limits of reform, the state's role, and what meaningful change would require.There is a reason elections cannot deliver emancipation. The capitalist state is structurally designed to insulate elites from popular control. Clara describes her practical organizing work with FREE (Forum for Real Economic Emancipation) in Tulsa, building horizontal assemblies, participatory budgeting campaigns, community land trusts, and mutual aid.Steve touches on the concept of de-commodifying basic needs (housing, healthcare, food), to break market dependence. But then, capitalism would be unworkable.Clara E. Mattei is Professor of Economics at The University of Tulsa and the Founding President of FREE: Forum for Real Economic Emancipation. She was previously associate professor at The New School for Social Research Economics Department and has been a fellow of the Institute for Advanced Studies, Princeton. Her research contributes to the analysis and history of capitalism, exploring the critical relation between economic ideas and technocratic policy making.Clara is author of The Capital Order: How Economists Invented Austerity and Paved the Way to Fascism (University of Chicago Press, 2022), and the recently published Escape from Capitalism (Allen Lane, Penguin Press, and Simon & Schuster, January 2026), which will soon be translated into multiple languages, including French, German, and Italian.

Why does it feel like you're trying so hard in your relationship… but still ending up disconnected?In this episode, we explore how good intentions can unintentionally create distance, especially when love is expressed in ways that aren't felt on the other side. You'll learn how nervous system responses, misinterpretation, and emotional patterns shape relationship dynamics and how small shifts in awareness can create meaningful change. If you've ever thought, “I'm trying, so why isn't it working?”, this episode will give you a new lens and practical ways to reconnect.

Every year we try to dedicate an episode of Talking Taiwan to 228, an important date in Taiwan's history, marking the 228 Massacre. 228 stands for February 28 1947. February 28th is now commemorated as a national holiday in Taiwan known as the 228 Peace Memorial Day. Related Links: https://talkingtaiwan.com/kita-foundation-mapping-the-path-of-the-trailblazers-that-paved-the-way-for-taiwans-democracy-and-freedom-ep-342/   However, the 228 Massacre is not confined to this single date in history. There were circumstances leading up what happened on February 28th and there were also subsequent events after February 28th which escalated into bloody violence and massacres leading to what some refer to as the March Massacre.   Under the authoritarian Chiang regime, and Chinese Nationalist Kuomintang, what followed after 228 was 38 years of martial law and the White Terror era. Anyone could be disappeared, executed or worse for just saying or doing the wrong thing, or for what was seemingly wrong in the eyes of the authorities. The people of Taiwan were horrified and terrified. For decades there was denial and suppression of 228 by authorities in Taiwan, and generations dared not speak of 228.   228 was absent from high school textbooks until relatively recently. To learn more about the specifics of 228 I invite you to listen to some of our past episodes on the topic. We recommend episodes 309, 277, 228, and 172.   In an effort to confront its authoritarian past, in recent years Taiwan has taken steps to acknowledge historical sites of injustice such as buildings where military police fired on civilians on February 28, 1947. Around this time of year, around February 28 and leading into March, it's a time to reflect on the past, and what we can learn from it.   So in the vein of reflecting on the past, this year I thought I'd share my interview with Sabrina Liu and Meng Chiang who are part of the team that makes up the KITA Foundation, an organization that was formed as an oral history project to understand who are the trailblazers that paved the way for Taiwan's democracy and freedom.   Related Links: https://talkingtaiwan.com/kita-foundation-mapping-the-path-of-the-trailblazers-that-paved-the-way-for-taiwans-democracy-and-freedom-ep-342/

March is Women's History Month where we pay tribute to all of the women who have made a difference and shaped our political and legal landscape. Pioneers like Susan B. Anthony, Sojourner Truth, Eliza Harriot, Belva Lockwood, Alice Paul, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg are a number of women who have made a difference and continue to inspire the women of today.  Craig welcomes Mary Sarah Bilder, historian and the Founders Professor of Law at Boston College Law School, to celebrate Women's History Month. Craig & Mary discuss trailblazing women throughout history, like Eliza Harriot, the barriers they faced, and the impact these women pioneers had on the founding era.    Mentioned in this Episode: Female Genius: Eliza Harriot and George Washington at the Dawn of the Constitution by Mary Sarah Bilder

Interview with Wes Hanson, President & CEO of Thunder Gold Corp.Recording date: 2nd March 2026Headline: Thunder Gold's Tower Mountain: A Large-Scale Ontario Gold Project With a Clear Re-Rating PathThunder Gold Corp (TSXV:TGOL) is developing the Tower Mountain gold project in northwestern Ontario, 40 kilometres from Thunder Bay. The company recently published a maiden resource estimate of 3.5 million ounces comprising 3 million inferred and 500,000 indicated ounces, and is targeting 5 million ounces alongside a preliminary economic assessment by the end of the current year. For investors evaluating junior gold equities, Tower Mountain offers an unusual combination of geological consistency, infrastructure accessibility, exploration upside, and a management team with direct open-pit development experience.The deposit's defining characteristic is the predictability of its drill results. Of 190 holes drilled across 47,000 metres of total drilling, 180 returned average grades of 0.33 to 0.37 g/t across full hole lengths, from surface to the bottom of each hole, regardless of depth or rock type. This is the hallmark of a large, disseminated intrusion-related gold system where gold is distributed evenly through a wide pyrite cloud rather than concentrated in narrow, unpredictable shear zones. That consistency translates directly into lower operational risk in a future mining scenario and a more straightforward path through the economic study process.The project's infrastructure position is equally compelling. Paved highway, rail access, and existing utilities sit within 3 kilometres of the resource pit. The site is accessible year-round, and a 40-minute drive away from Thunder Bay city with an established mining services sector. These factors significantly reduce the capital intensity of any future development compared to remote northern projects where road and power construction alone can consume hundreds of millions of dollars before a shovel enters the ground.The near-term investment case centres on resource category conversion. At current per-ounce market valuations of $10–20 for inferred ounces, Thunder Gold trades at a meaningful discount to more advanced peers. The company's stated priority to infill drilling to convert inferred ounces to indicated status has historically produced three-to-four-times increases in per-ounce valuations without requiring new discovery. With approximately $5 million in treasury and 66 cents of every dollar directed into drilling, management has the capital to execute that program and deliver a credible PEA.The longer-term case rests on the three unexplored contacts of the intrusive body, each carrying geophysical signatures consistent with the known western resource. If those contacts host comparable mineralization, the total resource could approach 12 million ounces, a scale that places Tower Mountain firmly in the range of acquisition targets for mid-tier producers facing reserve depletion at current gold prices.At a gold price that has fundamentally re-rated the economics of large-tonnage, lower-grade deposits, Tower Mountain sits in a strategically attractive position: sufficient scale to matter to a mid-tier acquirer, infrastructure to support competitive capital costs, and enough drilling upside to justify continued exploration investment. The key near-term variables are drill results and PEA delivery. Investors willing to accept early-stage resource and liquidity risk may find the current valuation offers meaningful upside relative to those catalysts.View Thunder Gold's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/thunder-gold-corpSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

This week Ivy Slater, host of Her Success Story, chats about the significance of International Women's Day and the theme "Give to Gain," sharing heartfelt stories about the women and mentors who have shaped her journey. In this episode, we discuss: How the 2026 International Women's Day theme "Give to Gain" shows up in real life through mentorship—why every woman Ivy mentors teaches her just as much in return. What Ivy learned from early role models like her dance teachers, working mothers ahead of her, and icons such as Ruth Bader Ginsburg and a beloved teacher, Mrs. Durkin, about breaking barriers and modeling what's possible. When Ivy was pregnant with her first child and told she couldn't "have the career you want and be a good mom," and how a conversation with her friend Bonnie, a pediatrician, reframed success as "how you show up," not the title you hold. Why 2026 is an invitation to show up as a dynamic, ambitious, grounded woman who becomes a role model simply by living fully—and how every act of mentoring, support, or encouragement is part of "give to gain." How male allies matter too, including Ivy's husband, who backed her decision to start a "crazy" coaching business in 2007 with a simple, powerful message: "You want to do it, figure it out, I'm with you."  Ivy Slater is a professionally certified business coach, speaker, best-selling author and podcast host. After owning and operating a 7-figure printing business, having been in the industry for 20 years, she started Slater Success which focuses on developing great leaders and facilitating business growth and expansion.

The USTR says 301 investigations on various topics will begin within days. These country-specific tariffs, along with the 232 product-specific tariffs, are meant to provide "continuity" for the IEEPA level tariffs. We discuss what investigations might be forthcoming and the longer path that could lead to new tariffs.  

Akshay Verma, COO of SpotDraft explores his non-linear journey through the legal industry. From his early days as a big-law paralegal to lawyer to a business development role to leading legal operations at tech leaders like Facebook and Coinbase, Akshay shares his unique perspective on why the most successful legal departments prioritize process over technology. The conversation dives deep into the realities of Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM), the evolution of the "agentic" legal tool, and why change management is the biggest hurdle for legal innovation. Akshay also discusses the "underdog mentality" that drew him to the startup world and the future of AI in legal workflows. Key Takeaways: Process First: Technology is not a "magic pill" for broken workflows; centralized repositories and defined approval chains must come first. The Power of BD: Business development skills (evangelism and resilience) are critical for successful legal operations leaders. The "Holy Trifecta" of Legal Tech: Every department needs a CLM, a Spend Management tool (at scale), and an agentic Workflow/Intake tool. AI vs. Lawyering: AI will replace non-legal tasks, not the lawyers themselves, making AI literacy a new standard for the profession.

How This Is Building Me, hosted by world-renowned oncologist D. Ross Camidge, MD, PhD, is a podcast focused on the highs and lows, ups and downs of all those involved with cancer, cancer medicine, and cancer science across the full spectrum of life's experiences.In this episode, Dr Camidge sat down with Robert Kantor, MD. Dr Kantor is associate medical director of Medical Oncology & Hematology at Private Health Management.Drs Camidge and Kantor reflected on Dr Kantor's decades-long career. Inspired by his father's devotion to patients, Dr Kantor fast-tracked his education, entering medical school at Wayne State University without completing an undergraduate degree. Following fellowship, he intentionally chose private practice over academic oncology to focus on direct patient care and making a difference in the lives of patients' families.Dr Kantor's career illustrates the shifting landscape of American medicine. He has navigated various oncology practice models, including a corporate merger that he felt compromised patient care. In 2008, he took the risk of launching his own solo practice, successfully bringing trusted staff and a dedicated patient base with him.Dr Kantor eventually retired from clinical practice due to burnout, which was exacerbated by corporate management challenges and the inefficiencies of electronic medical records. His retirement evolved into an "encore career" as an associate medical director for Private Health Management. In this consultative role, he provides clinical oversight for complex oncology cases, helping patients navigate toward personalized cancer vaccines, clinical trials, and cutting-edge therapies. Dr Kantor expressed that this work has brought him renewed enthusiasm for the field of oncology, as it allows him to use his decades of experience with a basis of a better work-life balance. He remains passionate about how these high-end, personalized technologies will eventually make their way into routine clinical practice to benefit the broader patient population.

Bob and Scott celebrate President's Day by discussing the recent history of the presidency and look at how neoliberals Clinton, Bush and Obama paved theway for the rise of Trump and MAGA. We also talk about Nixon's “Imperial Presidency” and how, these days, a “third rate burglary” wouldn't be a blip on the radar. Furthermore, we define neoliberalism and explain the difference between Trump and neoliberals (despite what other lefty podcasters try to Brooklyn-splain to you).----------------------------------Outro- "Hail to the Chief" by the Beatles 2Links//+ Noam Chomsky on Why the Democrats Suck (https://bit.ly/3YHagR0)+ R.I.P.

Shabbat Teaching with 2nd year Ziegler Rabbinic Student, Brian Blum, at Temple Beth Am, Los Angeles, February 7, 2026. (Youtube/Zoom)Special Guest: Brian Blum.

Dave and Lefko break down how the offseason changes Seahawks GM John Schneider made have paved the road to Super Bowl LX, they discuss whether Sam Darnold will finally be perceived as a Top Ten quarterback after leading his team to Super Bowl LX, they look at the similarities in the Seahawks and Patriots’ special teams units, and they wrap up the show by finding out what we learned today! 

In the spring of 1969, hundreds of workers, all Black and mostly female, went on strike at Medical College Hospital and Charleston County Hospital to protest racial discrimination, low wages, and the marginalization of their dignity. The movement began with an incident of wrongful termination in 1967 involving five Black women at Medical College Hospital that uncovered the pervasiveness of racial and economic discrimination at both hospitals. The termination sparked outrage among other hospital workers who, with support from local community leaders, organized a movement that galvanized the city, state, and nation. We Paved the Way: Black Women and the Charleston Hospital Workers' Campaign (UP of Mississippi, 2025) explores this campaign in the context of a broader protest tradition, revealing it to be a full-scale movement that demonstrates the power and complexity of Black women's activism in the mid-twentieth century. O. Jennifer Dixon-McKnight argues that the experiences of the women at the center of this conflict offer a window into the plight of Southern Black working-class women and the ways in which they fought for equality, access, and well-being. Though much of what has been written about the hospital workers' campaign focuses on the strike through an institutional lens, Dixon-McKnight uses extensive interviews and oral history to expand the scope of existing scholarship. Local leaders such as Septima Clark, Esau Jenkins, William Saunders, and Isaiah Bennett served as bridge builders for the Black community's involvement in protest, which helped shape and nurture the hospital workers' campaign. By discussing the grassroots organizing that sparked the strike and tracing the aftermath of the conflict, including what workers experienced in their return to work and their relationships with the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and Local 1199 Hospital and Nursing Home Employees Union, this volume situates the hospital workers' movement as a critical moment in the nation's long civil rights history.

Sheriff Mack joins Stew to dissect bombshell 2015 Phoenix Trump rally footage where Erika Kirk (Frantzve) sits right next to his own son, raising red flags on her shady ties, promiscuous vibes, and elite puppet strings. Sheriff Mack drops explosive truths with Stew—his direct talk with the Tyler Robinson case prosecutor's office reveals they were clueless about the assassination site's earth-deep dig-up and quick pave-over, erasing forensic evidence and splatter patterns forever.   Big Pharma's worst nightmare unleashed— they've suppressed the TZLA plasma tech for generations to keep you hooked on toxic drugs and killer injections, but Jeff Berwick rips the lid off this game-changer that vaporizes tumors, fixes stroke damage in hours, and cranks your energy to god-mode levels. Mainstream quacks like the FDA are scrambling to bury this, but the proof is exploding.

“Chasing greatness is grieving the person you once were.” Tyriq Withers Ryan, Channing and Fred chop it up with Tyriq Withers, a rising actor making his mark in Hollywood, for an honest conversation about perseverance, processing grief, risk taking and how his journey is proof that purpose doesn't always follow a straight line and what's meant to be will always be. The conversation starts off with a fun story of Tyriq, a Jacksonville native, sharing how his childhood idol was a FAMILIAR guest speaker he had as a kid in elementary school... one guess? And you already know Chan and RC had a field day with the age jokes of Freddy T being that guy 20+ years ago! A die-hard Jaguars fan excited for the playoffs, he also opens up on the special meaning behind wearing a custom made "144" Shedeur Sanders jersey and how the bible verse he had imprinted on the sleeve changed his thought process. Yes, his love of sports starts long ago and before stepping in front of the camera, Tyriq's first love was football as he walked on to Florida State where he was part of the Seminole team (along with Dalvin Cook and Derwin James) that won an Orange Bowl in 2016. Ball was his life and taught him discipline, resilience, and what it takes to perform under pressure. That foundation helped fuel his transition into acting, where he's now making waves starring in the upcoming film Him, along with roles in other notable projects. Tyriq breaks down his journey into acting, the sacrifices it took to chase his passion, and the mental resilience required to survive an industry built on rejection and uncertainty. From navigating auditions and staying grounded to defining success on his own terms, he shares what it really means to pivot when the path isn't guaranteed. He talks about what it was like working with Donald Glover, shares who is on-screen inspiration is and the full circle experience of learning from Marlon Wayans, who he admired growing up and then became a big brother to him during the filming of Him. But Marlon wasn't just an on-screen mentor, he also helped Tyriq navigate life during one of the darkest and difficult times after he lost his older brother unexpectedly and was met with a new wave of grief and responsibility he didn't know existed. Emotional and honest, Tyriq shares how he dealt with it while still being able to pursue his dreams and balance the success with managing deep pain. Pivoting from sports to Hollywood to betting on himself in an industry built on rejection, this episode takes a deep dive on staying grounded while navigating new levels of visibility and expectation. From embracing discomfort to redefining success beyond the scoreboard, this conversation goes deeper than credits and highlights. It's a powerful discussion about identity, faith, work ethic, and trusting the process — on and off the field.
