Today, I am thrilled to connect with nurse practitioner, Dr. Lisa Chism. Lisa is the Clinical Director of the Oakland Macomb Center for Breast Health in Michigan. She has over 25 years of experience, specializing in breast health, menopause, sexual health, and breast cancer survivorship. She is also an author and a faculty member at a local university. In our conversation, we discuss the breast cancer risk for women with dense breasts, family history, or prior biopsy, diving into supplemental imaging, lifestyle modifications, HRT, and breast risk, and the changes that occur after a breast cancer diagnosis. We also explore the genitourinary syndrome of menopause and screening, permanent versus non-permanent changes occurring in the genital urinary area, and anticipatory informed care guidance for patients with a history of trauma. This is one of those conversations you will definitely want to revisit. With Lisa's thoughtful advocacy, deep commitment to patient care, and powerful insights, it is clear why sharing her message is so critically important. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: The different levels of breast density and their implications for cancer detection Various risk assessment tools used to determine breast cancer risk How alcohol impacts the risk of breast cancer Why weight management essential for post-menopausal women The importance of having detailed conversations with providers about menopause symptoms and the available treatment options Lisa shares her approach to evaluating and educating patients How trauma impacts women's sexual health Permanent and non-permanent changes that occur in the vaginal area during menopause Can older women still do HRT?

Molly and Carrie invite you to listen to this replay from the their Copper Ridge Loop series. All about backpacking in northern Washington's North Cascades National Park! After crossing the waterfall and snow field, the girls face their biggest challenge yet… a bushwhack deep in the heart of the North Cascades. They tangle with devil's club, a collapsing forest floor, and avoid piles of bear scat as they search for a good spot to cross the river. They reflect on their largest river crossing to date and revel in the peace of Indian Creek camp following an especially challenging and adventurous day on trail.
One morning around 6, the police banged on our door. "OPEN UP!" they shouted, the way police shout when they definitely have an alternative in mind for if you won't. I was awake at the time, because the kids were up early and I was on shift. I opened the door. The cops seemed mollified by the fact that I was carrying twin toddlers and looked too frazzled to commit any difficult crimes. They said they'd gotten a 9-1-1 call from my house with plenty of screaming. Had there been any murders in the past hour or so? https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/the-permanent-emergency
This week, Chris and I dive deep into a question we've been getting a lot since our town hall event with Sarah Swain, Rebecca Matthews, and Elisa Kitz (which had almost 2,000 registrants!): Why are permanent tax shelters considered an asset class? I'll be honest—this was a concept that completely confused me until about 4-5 years ago. I grew up being taught that insurance is an expense, never an investment. But understanding how certain life insurance policies can provide liquidity, tax advantages, and long-term value has been game-changing for our family—both personally and professionally. In this episode, we break down: The difference between whole life and universal life insurance Why insurance should be the foundation of your financial house (not just the pretty stuff on top) How permanent policies build cash value you can borrow from tax-free Why getting insured young matters more than you think The connection between your health records and insurance premiums This might feel like a big topic to grasp, but stick with us. We're here to help you understand what you weren't taught growing up. Timestamps & Chapters [2:53 - 4:33] Why This Topic Matters Now Questions coming in about permanent tax shelters as an asset class How life insurance can offer protection AND build long-term value Jenn's journey from seeing insurance as an expense to understanding it as an investment [4:33 - 7:00] What Are Permanent Tax Shelters? Two types: Whole life and universal life insurance How they differ from term insurance (which is like "rent") Why these policies are structured differently for every person [7:00 - 10:20] Whole Life vs. Universal Life Whole life: Invested through the insurance company, pays dividends, safer/more conservative Universal life: Invested through markets, higher growth potential Companies we work with have been paying dividends for over 100 years [10:20 - 13:20] The Trust Factor Why people are hesitant to invest (lack of education, past bad experiences) Importance of transparency: where money goes, how returns work, paperwork to back it up Finding advisors who customize to YOUR needs, not just sell hot products [13:20 - 17:00] The Foundation Analogy Chris's building background: insurance is like the foundation of a house TFSAs, RRSPs, FHSAs are the "pretty stuff" on top If the foundation isn't solid, everything collapses when markets slip Different types of insurance: life, critical illness, disability [17:00 - 20:20] Why We Have Different Policies Individual needs vs. family goals Whole life for lending money back to yourself Universal life for stronger growth through market investments [20:20 - 23:40] Term vs. Permanent Insurance Explained Term insurance: Pay for protection for 10, 20, 30 years—when it expires, you're done (or renew at a much higher rate) Example: $75/month at age 30 becomes $500/month at age 65 Permanent insurance: Pay for a set period (often ~20 years), then you're covered for life [23:40 - 26:40] Health & Insurance Qualification Medical Insurance Bureau (MIB) has access to ALL your medical records Even minor things (like getting imaging for headaches) can flag you and increase premiums Jenn's story: Great health rating, lower premium Chris's story: One seizure from paintball at 21 flagged him for years [26:40 - 30:00] The Integrity Factor Insurance companies will test for things like nicotine in your hair if you claim to be a non-smoker Lying on applications can void your entire policy Smokers can requalify as non-smokers after 12 months nicotine-free and cut premiums in half [30:00 - 35:20] Why We're Talking About This Jenn's perspective: Health and wealth are connected Financial stress impacts health; lack of finances prevents getting health support The gap in what we weren't taught as adults, parents, business owners Teaching preparedness so people know what questions to ask [35:20 - 40:00] How Permanent Policies Build Cash Value Example: $100/month → $25 to insurance, $75 to investment Money grows tax-free inside the policy You can borrow from it with minimal or zero tax (depending on timing) Compare to RRSPs: 100% taxed at withdrawal at your marginal rate Insurance companies are great at saving from taxation; investment companies are great at making money—permanent policies combine both [40:00 - 43:00] The Self-Lending Strategy Build cash value you can borrow from tax-free or with greatly reduced tax Use for home repairs, helping kids, investments, etc. You can put in $300-500/month—insurance still only costs $25, rest goes to your investment fund [43:00 - 46:00] Inflation & Long-Term Planning Average Canadian couple needs $2.5-3 million to retire comfortably Inflation designed to be ~2.5% annually Example: Bag of milk was $2-3 twenty years ago, now $6-9, will be $20 in the future If you're only making 2.5% interest, you're just keeping up with buying power—not growing wealth Importance of reviewing statements together as a couple (even when uncomfortable) Key Highlights & Takeaways ✅ Insurance as Foundation, Not Expense: Permanent life insurance should be viewed as the foundation of your financial house—not a bill, but an investment that protects everything else you build on top. ✅ Two Types of Permanent Policies: Whole Life: Conservative, dividend-based, great for self-lending Universal Life: Market-invested, higher growth potential ✅ Tax Advantages: Money grows tax-free inside permanent policies, and you can borrow from your cash value with minimal or zero tax (unlike RRSPs, which are 100% taxed at withdrawal). ✅ Get Insured Young: Health changes, medical records, and age all impact premiums. The younger and healthier you are when you get insured, the better your rates—and they're locked in for life. ✅ The MIB Knows Everything: The Medical Insurance Bureau has access to all your medical records. Even minor health events (like imaging for headaches) can flag you and increase premiums. ✅ Inflation is Real: The average Canadian couple will need $2.5-3 million to retire comfortably. If your money is only growing at 2.5%, you're just keeping up with inflation—not building wealth. ✅ Self-Lending Strategy: Permanent policies allow you to build a "personal bank" you can borrow from for major expenses, investments, or helping family—without traditional loan approval processes. ✅ Transparency Matters: Any advisor should be able to explain exactly where your money is going, how returns work, and provide full paperwork. If they can't, walk away. ✅ Health & Wealth Are Connected: Financial stress impacts your health, and lack of finances prevents you from getting the health support you need. They're not separate—they're intertwined. Let's dive in! Thank you for joining us today. If you could rate, review & subscribe, it would mean the world to me!

4. Guest Author: Victor Davis Hanson. Headline: The Unaccountable Power of the Deep State. Summary: Hanson warns against the "administrative state," a permanent class of bureaucrats who wield power without democratic accountability, exemplified by regulatory overreach in the raisin industry. He claims this "deep state" actively undermined the Trump administration through "resistance" tactics, viewing themselves as superior to elected representatives.1870 HENRY WARD BEECHER AND HIS SISTER HARRIET BEECHER STOWE
If you're not familiar with "X years to escape the permanent underclass", see the New Yorker here, or the Laine, Bear, and Trammell/Dwarkesh articles that inspired it. The "permanent underclass" meme isn't being spread by poor people - who are already part of the underclass, and generally not worrying too much about its permanence. It's preying on neurotic well-off people in Silicon Valley, who fret about how they're just bourgeois well-off rather than future oligarch well-off, and that only the true oligarchs will have a good time after the Singularity. Between the vast ocean of total annihilation and the vast continent of infinite post-scarcity, there is, I admit, a tiny shoreline of possibilities that end in oligarch capture. Even if you end up there, you'll be fine. Dario Amodei has taken the Giving What We Can Pledge (#43 here) to give 10% of his wealth to the less fortunate; your worst-case scenario is owning a terraformed moon in one of his galaxies. Now you can stop worrying about the permanent underclass and focus on more important things. On that tiny shoreline of possible worlds, the ones where the next few years are your last chance to become rich, they're also your last chance to make a mark on the world (proof: if you could change the world, you could find a way to make people pay you to do it, or to not do it, then become rich). And what a chance! The last few years of the human era will be wild. They'll be like classical Greece and Rome: a sudden opening up of new possibilities, where the first people to take them will be remembered for millennia to come. What a waste of the privilege of living in Classical Athens to try to become the richest olive merchant or whatever. Even in Roman times, trying to become Crassus would be, well, crass. https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/you-have-only-x-years-to-escape-permanent

Host Ricky Sacks is joined by Jason McGovern, Ian Lubin and George Achillea as we reflect on the news that Thomas Frank is on the brink of being sacked at Tottenham Hotspur. Club chiefs are now understood to be weighing up whether to axe him before Tuesday's Champions League clash with Borussia Dortmund. Spurs' hierarchy, previously steadfast in their support of the Dane, registered the scale of the furious fan reaction to Saturday's 2-1 home defeat to West Ham. Senior figures are understood to be keen to take the temperature of Frank's squad to assess if there is still internal support for the former Brentford boss. But there is a growing sense that the Dane cannot restore any authority and that the best move for all parties could be to bring his miserable seven-month reign to an end swiftly. We discuss when Spurs are likely to make the decisions in addition to who will steady the ship on an interim basis and who the panel would like to be the next permanent manager of the football club.

The Apostle Peter began his second letter to all Christians by addressing the very formation of our Christian lives. He proceeded to lay out a deep and profound series of character development steps to show us how to completely and wholly grow into mature disciples of Christ. In Part I of this series, we covered the first four verses of 2 Peter chapter 1. These verses laid out a broad foundation for the development of our Christian character that is based on who God is, what He promises us and what Jesus has done. The next part of the blueprint for our character development is to not only show us traits we need to have included in our Christlikeness, but HOW we are to include them. This episode reveals how Peter unfolds his spirit-driven, exciting and practical approach to building a true Christlike character. Peter's blueprint continues with a command: “…applying all diligence.” The Greek terms reveal a vivid picture—bringing our effort alongside what God has already supplied, and doing so with eagerness, earnestness and speed. Diligence is the opposite of sluggishness; it reflects a focused loyalty to God's will. As we receive God's promises, we are to simultaneously apply this diligence. The first area where diligence must operate is our faith. Faith is not a wish; rather, it is a conviction grounded in God's reality. It is a gift, and though not earned, it must be tested, strengthened and lived. Trials develop endurance, and endurance matures character. Faith becomes what we call an “Allegiance Attribute”—a foundational internal quality that shapes all the other traits Peter will list. Faith must be active, single‑minded and visible through works. Just as Christ fully supplies the body and Christians supply one another, we are called to fully supply our own character with what it needs to grow. Ultimately, God abundantly supplies entrance into the eternal kingdom, far beyond mere adequacy. Our role is to respond to His overwhelming provision with the diligent and eager faith that fuels the lifelong process of Christlike transformation. Key Takeaways God's promises form the foundation for Christian character development. “Applying all diligence” means bringing earnest effort alongside God's provision. Faith is the first and foundational Allegiance Attribute. Faith must be active, tested, single‑minded and visible through works. Growth is mutual: God supplies us, we supply our character, and we in turn support others. God's supply is abundant and our response to it must be diligent and wholehearted.

In this Omni Talk Retail episode recorded live from NRF in the Vusion podcast studio, Mark Propes, Chief Business Development Officer at Vusion, and Julian Mills, CEO of Quorso, break down what the connected store actually means beyond the buzzwords and why 2026 is the year retailers risk creating a permanent gap if they don't operationalize this technology. From digitizing the shelf as a data platform to intelligent task management that tells associates exactly what to do at 9 AM Monday morning, Mark and Julian reveal how the connected store eliminates wasted labor spent finding problems. They share insights on exception-based work, the Circle K global rollout across 14 countries and thousands of stores, and why retailers need to stop misallocating labor on tasks nobody knows add value. If you've wondered how connected store technology actually works in practice, this conversation delivers the blueprint.

In this episode of It Takes Balls, Mohammad shares his rarely heard and emotionally complex journey through a testicular tumor diagnosis that ultimately turned out to be benign, but not without life-altering consequences. After noticing a slow-growing lump in his testicle over several years, Mohammad sought medical advice and was told removal was urgent, with little discussion of alternative options such as watchful waiting or partial orchiectomy. Living in Iran, where conversations around men's health and testicular issues remain highly stigmatized, Mohammad faced his diagnosis largely without community support, limited patient education, and few culturally accessible resources.Mohammad opens up about the devastating realization that his tumor may not have required full removal and the lasting impact that decision has had on his self-image, sexuality, fertility concerns, and mental health. He speaks candidly about regret, masculinity, dating after surgery, and the emotional toll of losing a testicle when cancer wasn't the final diagnosis. His story sheds light on a rarely discussed reality: that even when tumors are benign, the physical and psychological consequences of surgery can be profound.This episode highlights the urgent need for patient advocacy and global access to testicular cancer education, especially in regions where language barriers, cultural taboos, and lack of survivor communities leave men feeling isolated. Mohammad's courage in sharing his experience is a powerful reminder that every patient deserves to understand that they are not alone, no matter where they live.For cultural reasons, Mohammad has elected to obscure his picture and video.Join The Ball Room:https://www.testicularcancerawarenessfoundation.org/theballroomWant to be a guest?

Lauren Hall looks at the roots of political tribalism, why voters feel trapped between false choices, and how radical moderation offers a way out of constant polarization.
STALIN VS. TROTSKY AND THE LOGIC OF THE GREAT TERROR Colleague Professor Sean McMeekin. The discussion turns to the rivalry between Leon Trotsky and Joseph Stalin. While Trotsky was an inflexible ideologue advocating for permanent revolution, Stalin was a "savvy political operator" willing to be ideologically flexible to consolidate power. The segment details the "Great Terror" of the 1930s, distinguishing it from previous violence by noting that Stalin targeted the Communist Party itself, including high-ranking officials and military marshals. McMeekin attributes this to the inherent logic of totalitarian regimes: as economic promises failed, the regime needed scapegoats—saboteurs and wreckers—to blame for the system's deficiencies. This self-cannibalizing violence culminated in the assassination of Trotsky in 1940, though the arrests and executions continued well beyond his death. NUMBER 4

Part 2 of 2: "Why Becoming Your Future Self Requires Letting Go | Dr. Benjamin Hardy" What if the hardest part of becoming your future self isn't discipline or clarity, but the willingness to let go of what once made you successful?. Episode Description Part 1 revealed why meaning comes before courage. Part 2 reveals the price of acting on that meaning. In this continuation, Dr. Benjamin Hardy takes the conversation out of the abstract and into lived reality. He dismantles one of the most seductive lies in personal growth: that you can create a radically different future without giving up the past that built your current life. Using the 80/20 principle, Dr. Hardy explains why most people remain trapped in "2x thinking", incremental improvement driven by familiarity, safety, and social approval. True 10x growth, he argues, is not additive. It is subtractive. It requires stripping away nearly everything that does not belong to the future you are committed to becoming. Together, Dov and Ben explore why letting go feels like tearing off a limb, how family and loved ones unconsciously resist your transformation, and why honesty, not harmony, is the foundation of real growth. This episode is not motivational. It is clarifying. And for many listeners, it will be confronting. .

Before you set a single new goal, I want to invite you to pause. In this episode of The Modern High Performer, I'm guiding you through a thoughtful end‑of‑year reflection process designed to help you make sense of the last 12 months honestly, without judgment, and without the pressure to "spin" everything into growth. Thank you to Clay & Vine for Sponsoring this Episode Inquire Here for In-Person or Virtual Support https://clayandvineinteriors.com/contact I share five reflection prompts I use personally and with coaching clients to surface what actually mattered this year, what quietly drained you, and what's ready to change. I also open up about my own moments of tension, growth, and recalibration especially around work, family, expectations, and connection. This isn't about squeezing meaning out of every hard moment. It's about clarity. It's about giving yourself permission to evolve before you decide what's next. I would encourage you to grab a pen and paper to journal on these questions: What looked good on paper but didn't feel good in real life? What has been the hardest part of the year for me? And what did you learn from it? Where do you need to stop comparing and performing? Who did I let see the real version of me this year? Where have I been strong, but not alone? What permission do I need to give myself before I set goals for the next year? If you're feeling the pull to do things differently in the year ahead, this conversation will help you slow down, take stock, and move forward with intention.

Part 1 of 2: Why Meaning Comes Before Courage | Dr. Benjamin Hardy | 10X Yourself . What if the reason you're afraid to step into your future self has nothing to do with confidence, and everything to do with meaning? Description In this deeply unexpected and profoundly honest conversation, Dov Baron sits down with Dr. Benjamin Hardy for a dialogue that goes far beyond performance psychology and into the foundations of courage, faith, and identity. . For the first time publicly, Dr. Hardy shares his personal origin story, including his beliefs about God, purpose, and why he sees life itself as an educational journey rather than a test to pass or fail. What unfolds is not a debate about religion, but a powerful exploration of how meaning shapes courage, entrepreneurship, and the willingness to let go of who you used to be. . Together, Dov and Ben examine why so many high performers feel deflated even after achieving everything they were told would make them happy, and why clinging to a past identity quietly poisons the future you're trying to build. . This episode challenges the glossy image of entrepreneurship, confronts ego-driven success, and reframes leadership as an act of service rooted in dignity, not status. . If you've ever felt torn between who you've been and who you sense you're meant to become, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.
THE ADMINISTRATIVE STATE AND UNELECTED POWER Colleague Victor Davis Hanson. Hanson describes the "administrative state" or "deep state" as a permanent class of unelected bureaucrats who possess vast power without accountability to voters or Congress. He asserts that these officials, believing their expertise gives them moral authority, actively "resisted" the Trump administration through leaks and bureaucratic sabotage, viewing themselves as superior to elected leadership. He cites the "raisin police" as a specific example of how this regulatory state can tyrannically control the private property and labor of citizens. NUMBER 4
