Trey Wasser, CEO and Director of Dryden Gold Corp (TSX.V: DRY) (OTCQB: DRYGF) (FSE: X7W), joins me for a comprehensive exploration update outlining some of the key takeaways from the 2025 exploration season at the 3 different regional areas: Gold Rock Camp, Sherridon and Hyndman; within their Dryden Gold District in Northwestern Ontario.   With kick things off with a review of some the key targets drilled this season's 15,000 meter drill program along both the Big Master and Elora Gold trends at the Gold Rock Camp,  incorporating the data sets from the D1, D2, and new understanding of the D3 structural faulting trends.  Trey highlights the drill results from the Elora-Jubilee Target, Pearl Target, and Laurentian Mine Target, and mentions that assays that about 10 assays are still pending from the drilling done into the gap testing the areas between these targets.  We also discuss significance of the broader bulk tonnage  0.75 g/t – 2.0 g/t, that is then being upgraded by the high-grade intercepts on the hanging wall and foot wall trends, that compliment and raise the overall grade profile of the larger deposit that is developing.   Next we shifted up to the initial drilling done this year at Mud Lake target area, and how these same 3 geological deformation faults and folds are present here as well, further northeast along the Gold Rock Camp trend.  There are 4 drill holes here awaiting assays to come back from the lab in the near-term.  Trey highlights that there is a periodicity to this larger system which demonstrate similar geological properties.  We touch upon the many other targets that are being mapped, sampled, and advanced towards targeting for future drill programs; both to the northeast and southwest along the 20km strike length.   Pivoting out to the regional targets, we discussed the 3rd area of focus from this year's program at Sherridon; where 3 drill holes were put in following up on the detailed mapping from 2024. Sherridon is hosted within a large geophysical anomaly with a strike length of five kilometers. Testing to date has focused on a small portion of that trend leaving the Sherridon target open in all directions. Additional drill targets for next year will be designed based on this seasons drill results and geological interpretations from expanded mineral assays, geochemistry and re-logging of historic core.   Wrapping up we discussed the 4th area of focus this season from the channel sampling program at the Hyndman regional area, which targeted existing outcrop exposures. High-grade gold was assayed where the exposed rock hosted veining and shear hosted gold mineralization. These channel sample results have resulted in a positive drill decision and the Team is currently planning its first-pass drill targets for the 2026 Program. Trey points out that geophysics anomalies show a potential strike length of approximately four kilometers target at Hyndman, and its geological setting and mineralization is quite similar to NexGold's Goldlund deposit at their Goliath Gold Complex.   If you have any questions for Trey regarding Dryden Gold, then please email me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Dryden Gold at the time of this recording, and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.     For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer:  This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

We're coming to you live from Washington, D.C., at the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Summit—the largest gathering of small business owners in U.S. history. With more than 2,700 entrepreneurs in one place, the energy is electric, and the conversations are powerful. Among them is our guest, Brandon Dahms, owner of Innovative Manufacturing & Engineering (IME) in Des Moines, Iowa. Brandon's story captures what this summit is all about—growth, resilience, and transformation. After starting his career with plans to work in sports marketing, he took an unexpected turn into manufacturing and never looked back. Today, his 10,000-square-foot, lights-out machining operation runs nearly 24/7, serving as proof that automation, strategy, and strong leadership can turn even the smallest shop into a powerhouse. In this episode, we talk with Brandon about how the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses program helped him refine his growth strategy, strengthen his company culture, and position IME for long-term success. We dive into what it's like to go through a program that feels like an "MBA for real-world business owners" and how it shaped his ability to pivot from a traditional job shop to a high-volume, automated manufacturer. We also explore the advocacy side of the program—how small business owners like Brandon are meeting directly with congressional leaders to influence policy on issues that affect manufacturers every day: workforce development, healthcare costs, and economic uncertainty. From his experience in the classroom to his conversations on Capitol Hill, Brandon shows how one voice can help represent the entire metalworking nation. If you've ever wondered how programs like this can truly impact your business—and why stepping outside your bubble might be the key to future growth—this conversation is one you don't want to miss.

In this impromptu solo episode, Sam opens with a reflection from his blog, “To Travel Is to Change Our Inner World,” sharing how post-pandemic house-sitting adventures and a profound journey through Peru's Sacred Valley reshaped his perspective. Travel, he notes, isn't just logistics or a break from routine—it's an inner transformation that broadens empathy, rewires the brain through new experiences, and reminds us how deeply interconnected we all are.Pivoting to this week's theme, Sam explores angels as our “higher levels”—not separate beings, but expanded aspects of ourselves within a non-dual, unified universe. He recounts a defining moment—an unmistakable inner voice saying “Just say yes”—that guided him and his wife into a healing ceremony and catalyzed powerful change. Sam offers practical ways to connect: pray (speak) and meditate (listen), notice your natural “clair” (feeling, hearing, seeing, or simply knowing), and experiment with practices like automatic writing. The invitation: try on this framework, cultivate stillness consistently, and let those subtle taps on the shoulder remind you that your angels—and your own deepest wisdom—are always here.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-conscious-consultant-hour8505/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

What if reading a room could change how you brand, publish, and grow online? We sit down with comedian turned podcaster and tech founder Jeff Dwoskin to unpack the craft behind connection: the split-second choices that make strangers lean in, the nerves that never fully leave, and the moments on stage that teach you more than any marketing playbook ever could.Jeff takes us from a bold tag that won a comedy contest to the rebrand that finally fit his show. The journey from The Jeff Dwoskin Show to Live From Detroit to Classic Conversations came down to clarity: names and artwork should explain, not confuse. We dig into why shortening intros, cutting filler segments, and ditching distracting music boosted listener focus and reclaimed precious prep time. The result is a format you can sustain, not just survive.We also explore the roots of Stampede Social, born from years running trending Twitter games and rebuilt for Instagram and Facebook. Jeff explains how DM automation, trackable links, and top-fan insights turn casual comments into measurable actions. No more shouting URLs; invite listeners to DM a keyword and watch the data tell the story. Along the way, we talk boundaries with Facebook and Threads, and how to protect your headspace while still showing up for your audience.The heartbeat of this conversation is a creator's mindset: stop contorting your voice to every algorithm tweak. Earn the follow through craft, not clickbait. Keep your channel messy if that's your truth. Book guests through genuine relationships. And remember Rob Lowe's line that Jeff shares: don't judge your insides by other people's outsides.

This is number 26 of a 30-part meditation series inspired by Adyashanti. This episode invites you to bring a sense of spaciousness into your conversations, to get curious about the tiny but impactful turns inherent to all dialogue, and to bring an intention for peace into those moments. It's a practice of deep listening to yourself and another.These practices build on each other, so you can listen consecutively, but if there is one in particular that speaks to you, feel free to stick with it. Based on the teachings of Adyashanti, they can be used alone or as a companion to his audio series, The 30-Day Wake Up Challenge, or his book, The Direct Way: 30 Practices to Evoke Awakening. This meditation correlates to Day 26. In some cases, the meditations are also loosely inspired by the teachings of Andrew Holecek, Pema Chodron, and Eckhart Tolle.  I hope you enjoy.Music and audio by the stupendous Eric Fischer. Support the showHost: Tess CallahanSubstack: Writers at the WellInterview Podcast: Writers at the WellMeditations on Insight TimerMeditations on YouTubeTess's novels: https://tesscallahan.com/Music (unless otherwise noted above): Christopher Lloyd ClarkAudio Editing: Eric Fischer By tapping "like" and "follow" you help others find the show.

What if pressing pause is the smartest move you can make? We get real about closing out Season 10 to focus energy where it compounds, sharing the why behind a deliberate hiatus and the plan to return stronger. The mission now is Wrap Shit With P: branding, merchandise, curated gifting, and VA-powered project management for creatives and entrepreneurs who want to show up bigger, bolder, and better. We unpack how a podcast can be more than content—it can be a client engine—once the offers, systems, and tracking are dialled in.Chase from Mowpod joins us with a rare, transparent look at audience growth that actually pays off. Instead of selling impressions, Mowpod runs on pay-for-performance: you only pay when key outcomes happen, like Apple follows or episode engagement. We trace his journey from early ad real estate to newsletter wins and into podcasting, including the product that flopped and the decision to pivot fast. That story lands hard for independent podcasters and scrappy founders: failure is data, and iteration beats ego. Signals to watch for product–market fit, how to judge when to persist versus redirect, and why optimism is a founder's renewable fuel all show up here.If you're an indie creator feeling stretched thing as this conversation offers a practical blueprint for stepping back without giving up. We talk early clients, seasonal corporate gifting, creative operations, and the tools that turn link-in-bio chaos into insight. The promise is simple: close well, build your engine, and come back with a show that sells by serving. If that resonates, tap follow, share with a friend who needs permission to pivot, and leave a quick review so more creators find their way back to momentum.Get in touch with Chase and find out more about MowPod via https://mowpod.com/While you're at it, check out MowPod Charts https://charts.mowpod.com/Talk yo sh!t… Sh!t-Talker!!Support the showFOLLOW US ON;Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/talkshitwithpTwitter: https://twitter.com/TalkshitwithpFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TalkwhitwIthpTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@TalkshitwithpShop IG: https://www.instagram.com/Talkshitwithp.shopLEAVE US A REVIEW ON APPLE PODCAST: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/talk-shit-with-p/id1509470001AND SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL:https://www.youtube.com/@TalkshitwithpSupport The Show (whatever you can)Cashapp: https://cash.app/$TSWP20Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TswpBuymecoffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/talkshitwithpAmazon Wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2M9Q4HNKRO2WA?ref_=wl_shareTo Learn more on my story;https://flow.page/tal...

What if letting go of a “successful” business isn't failure, but freedom?   In this episode of Money Magnet Mama, I sit down with my client and friend Ashley Langer — community builder, networking queen, and now the founder of the hot new brand Hot Tommies — a fashion-forward heated vest line for women.   Ashley opens up about: ✨ Building her first business, Business Socialistas, and scaling a profitable membership. ✨ The moment she knew it was time to pivot, even though it looked “successful” on the outside. ✨ Releasing the shame around closing one chapter to open the next. ✨ How she leveraged her community + network to launch a physical product brand. ✨ Why pivots aren't failure — they're your launchpad to alignment.   Ashley's story is proof that your first business doesn't have to be your forever business. Sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is walk away and make space for the dream that's actually yours.  

I am here today with Erin Gallagher, America's number one hype woman. Erin has taken stages across the country to rally women around their power, and she is the author of the upcoming book, Hype Women: Breaking Free from Mean Girls, Patriarchy, and Systems that are Silencing All of Us. In this powerful conversation, Erin takes us back to her Coast Guard upbringing, moving every two to four years and navigating her parents' divorce while taking on the role of family caretaker at a young age. She shares how sports became her outlet for anger and intensity, and how finding sisterhood in an unexpected place—her college sorority—shaped her understanding of collective power. Erin opens up about her journey from wanting to be a lawyer fighting for justice to pivoting into marketing and communications, where she thought she could use big brands' power to inspire change faster. We dive deep into her 15 years in corporate America as an ambitious, unhealed, people-pleasing perfectionist who lost herself serving others, and how becoming a mother finally gave her less room for bullshit. She courageously shares the painful reality of co-founding a company where she didn't demand her value or worth, leading to a devastating business divorce. Erin reveals the mantra that changed everything: "I will no longer abandon myself in service to others." We explore why not all women deserve hype, how to identify mean girls and patriarchy's foot soldiers, and why karma is currency and hype is capital in the new ecosystem she's building.   Key Topics: Learning early that anger and service were gendered expectations—and writing a manifesto about it at age 10 Finding sisterhood and collective power through sports and sorority life as essential survival tools Pivoting from law to mission-driven communications work after witnessing injustice firsthand at a legal nonprofit Becoming a mother and finally running out of room for corporate bullshit and performative people-pleasing The devastating reality of business divorce and being undervalued in a company you co-founded Why "I will no longer abandon myself in service to others" became the mantra that changed everything Identifying mean girls and patriarchy's foot soldiers—not all women deserve your hype or energy Creating the Hype Women economy where we shift capital (time, energy, money, platform) to each other strategically Connect with Erin online: Book: Hype Women: Breaking Free from Mean Girls, Patriarchy, and Systems that are Silencing All of Us Get it Here: https://www.hypewomen.com/ Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/erin.gallag.her/?hl=en   Find more from Syama Bunten: Instagram: @syama.co, @gettingrichpod Website: wealthcatalyst.com Podcast: wealthcatalyst.com/getting-rich-together-podcast Download Syama's Free Resources: wealthcatalyst.com/resources Wealth Catalyst Summit: wealthcatalyst.com/summits Speaking: syamabunten.com Big Delta Capital: www.bigdeltacapital.com

Have an episode suggestion? Text us!In this episode of Paige's Perspective, I'm breaking down the difference between toxic positivity and the power of pivoting. We'll talk about how social media, family, and even traditional recovery spaces sometimes weaponize positivity to silence your pain, and how serenity has been mistaken for emotional shutdown.Then we'll reframe it. Pivoting is about being honest and grounded — holding two truths at once: “This is hard, and I can handle it.” You'll hear real-life examples of what pivoting looks like in the moment, and I'll give you a challenge to practice it this week.This one's for anyone who's tired of pretending they're okay and ready to learn what real peace actually feels like.Find video clips and full length video from this episode on YouTube and our other social media pages!On the web:www.twfo.comSupport the Show:Buy Us a Coffee!Online Program: www.independentlystrong.comSoberlink Device:www.soberlink.com/wheelsCheck out our blog:https://twfo.com/blogFollow us on TikTok:https://tiktok.com/@twfo_coupleFollow us on Instagram:https://instagram.com/twfo_couple/Follow us on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/TWFOCoupleFollow us on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@twfo_coupleFind Taylor Counseling Group:https://taylorcounselinggroup.com/Donate to Counseling for the Future Foundation:Donate Here

David Clancy is a world-class sports physio and author who's taken more than a few sharp turns in his career. He's had to face the same questions many of us wrestle with: Do I stay in the safe lane or risk starting over? How do I manage different passions without spreading myself too thin? What do I do with that voice in my head telling me I don't belong?   In this episode, David and I dig into the practical side of career pivots and personal growth, including:   •The real reasons people avoid changing direction—even when they know they're unhappy.   •How to make a career shift without blowing up everything you've built.   •Why imposter phenomenon can be a sign you're on the right track, and how to keep it from paralyzing you.   •The challenge of chasing multiple passions and what filters help you decide what's worth pursuing.   •How relationships—not networking, but genuine ones—end up making or breaking your next move.   •The skill of listening, and why it matters more than being the smartest person in the room.   This isn't theory. It's a conversation packed with examples you can relate to if you've ever thought about pivoting, felt stuck in a role you've outgrown, or struggled with the noise of self-doubt.

This week on So What Now we are back with all the chaos, wisdom, and side-eyes you've come to love. Dex kicks things off with a hilarious (and low-key insightful?) update on dinner with her dad — who came with unexpected dating advice on where to find eligible bachelors. Spoiler: Dex is not taking him up on this advice. Then, Carla introduces the viral “golden retriever vs. black cat” dating theory — and it's clear Dex is a full black cat. We break down what your relationship energy says about you and how it shapes your dating patterns. The convo takes a turn as we unpack Young Thug's controversial appearance on The Pivot Podcast. His comments about therapy, masculinity, and feeling judged hit a nerve — but what really stood out was how the Pivot hosts held space for him while still challenging him to grow. Could the Pivot host be enough to make Dex rethink her hard stance on men?
