How could you diversify your income streams by pursuing your interests? Anyone who knows me knows I have a lot going on—I run Bossed Up, I have a corporate day job, I'm a parent…and that's not even half of it. But I firmly believe that expanding your career portfolio is a wise move, for your finances and your energy sustainability.  Especially in the current wildly unstable job market, why focus all your time, energy, and interest on a single job? By doing so, you run the risk of being left at loose ends if, heaven forbid, your job falls through. In this episode, I share my own exciting new business venture, along with some helpful tips for exploring your own side hustles and hobby monetization. If you've ever considered becoming a multi-hyphinate—or know someone who's on that path—you're going to love this one. Mitigate your income risk and diversify your time and energy: The two pie charts that sum up your career portfolio; How to find more time for your side hustle without exhausting yourself; Three ways you can start to explore doing more, safely and strategically.

In this episode of Pillars of Wealth Creation, Todd sits down with Clare Baukham of Clear Art Reserve to explore what art investing looks like and how it can fit into a diversified wealth-building strategy. Clare shares her journey from financial advisor to art syndicator, creating opportunities for investors to participate in high-value artwork through a structured, shared-ownership model. She explains how studying what billionaires do to build and preserve wealth shaped her investment philosophy, leading her to focus on alternative assets and long-term strategy. A key framework she discusses is her “3 P's” approach — Predict, Plan, and Persevere — anticipating trends, creating a clear roadmap, and staying disciplined through market cycles. Clare also shares how the value of the arts appreciates and how investors can share in profits when a piece is sold. At the same time, she emphasizes that art investing requires proper research and understanding before jumping in. This episode offers a clear look at art as an alternative asset and practical insight into building wealth through strategic, informed investing.

Daily rest is the sustainable driving force of living whole, present lives. We wrongly think that rest comes from big, sweeping things, like vacations or long weekends away. Those are great, but we all need ways to rest and feel like ourselves every single day. So today, we're going to hear from you. Over a hundred of you shared ideas of how you get simple, meaningful rest, and we have curated a list of ideas and experiences to share. You might hear your own idea or voice on this episode, but more than that I hope you hear yourself, your own experience, that you hear solidarity and a simple, meaningful idea that can help you rest in a sustainable, reasonable, do-it-right-now way.  Helpful Companion Links Order my book The PLAN or ask your library to consider carrying a copy.

In this episode of The Lucky Few Podcast, we continue our What I Wish I'd Known series by talking about inclusion — and being honest about how it actually feels.When we hear the word inclusion, we don't immediately feel hopeful. We feel heaviness. Process. Fight. Sometimes discouragement.We talk about why inclusion so often becomes a disability service instead of a true community responsibility. We wrestle with school settings, adult programs, housing, and the limited options available once our kids grow up. We name the exhaustion of always being the one advocating — and the toll it takes on our kids to keep showing up in spaces not built for them.At the center of this conversation is this truth:The existence of a person with Down syndrome in the world is their resistance.Our kids take up space. They walk into rooms. They show up in communities that weren't designed for them. That matters.Inclusion isn't a program to be applauded. It's a cultural shift. And while we may feel weary some days, we still believe our kids belong — not as a service, but as neighbors, coworkers, and friends.We see you doing the work. Take a breath if you need to. And keep going.Show NotesFor more thoughtful work on disability, community living, and person-centered inclusion, visit Open Future Learning: https://www.openfuturelearning.org/**Interested in diving deeper?We've talked about inclusion before — especially in the context of school, IEPs, and advocacy.

How do you know when you’re done with a game? Your kids have aged out of it – are you sure? 0:00:00 Fact for 417 Solfeggio frequency 417 hz.

Andrew wonders what the difference is between different ice-skating jumps. You responded on Facebook and the #backtalk channel of the Discord. 0:34:55 How Do You Know When You’re Done? There’s no easy formula here, sorry! It depends what’s going on with your own life, and also your family and friends. It’s easy to “move on” from kids games when you have other kids in your life, younger than your own kids. Harder if your own kids are really nostalgic. You may regret moving on from some games! That’s normal and okay. Board games are a consumer product, and you can probably replace it if you look hard enough (eBay is amazing). Your family situation will change over time: whether that’s “aging out” of a game, or a change in interests & priorities. We grieve a little bit over losing who our children *used to be* while still enjoying the people they are *right now*. Nostalgia ALONE is not a reason to keep a game! You may be able to find it in another place, or just keep your fond memories. But if nostalgia regularly drives you back to *wanting* to play the game, maybe it makes sense to keep. Andrew suggests “dimensionally constraining” nostalgic / kids items (a box, shelf, or other limited space) to help you focus your collection. Examine your reasons to want to keep a game, if it’s not being played. Examine your reasons to want to get rid of a game. Determine if a game can be played at multiple age & skill levels (aka with B-mods, or games like Kingdomino) Pare down regularly – we recommend 1-2 times a year, and it will get easier with time! Know that it’s hard to sell or trade-in kids’ games. Plan to donate them to friends or schools. 0:56:00 New Backtalk Question Have you purged a game that you later regretted?

In this episode of Don't Miss This, Dave Butler and Grace Freeman study Genesis 37–41 and step into the story of Joseph, a story that moves from the pit, to the palace, to the prison, and reminds us that God is present in every season. What begins with favoritism, jealousy, and a coat of many colors quickly turns into betrayal and a seemingly empty pit. Yet over and over again, scripture repeats the same steady promise: the Lord was with Joseph. In slavery, in false accusation, in forgotten years in prison, God was still writing the story, preparing, positioning, and prospering him in ways Joseph could not yet see. This episode invites us to consider our own pits and prisons and ask where the Lord might already be at work. Because the promise was never that we would avoid hard seasons, but that He would be with us through them, redeeming the story in His time.

The Nile monitor, a six-foot-long lizard native to Africa, is gaining ground in parts of the state. Wildlife officials say the species poses a serious threat to native animals, and it can now be killed year-round without a permit. Known for tackling invasive reptiles, trapper Mike Kimmel — also called the Python Cowboy — describes the Nile monitor as “like a python mixed with an iguana.” They're powerful, intelligent predators, similar to a smaller Komodo dragon. On Florida's west coast, especially in Cape Coral, biologists have been battling the species for nearly 20 years. Hundreds have been trapped, but pockets remain. That's concerning because Cape Coral is also home to Florida's largest population of the threatened Burrowing owl, which nests in the ground — making it vulnerable to predators like the Nile monitor. These lizards are carnivores. They eat fish, frogs, birds, eggs, small mammals — even young crocodiles — and have been known to attack chickens and small pets. They can grow up to 6.5 feet long, weigh nearly 20 pounds, run up to 18 miles per hour, and swim underwater for nearly an hour. Their ability to travel along canals and waterways has helped them spread. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is actively removing Nile monitors and urges residents to report any sightings. Wildlife officials warn: this is one invasive species South Florida can't afford to ignore.

As a result, parts of Mexico have seen civil unrest in the wake of his death, including vehicles being torched and gunmen, believed to have supported the deceased, blocking highways in more than a dozen Mexico states. This is a great reminder that anytime traveling beyond the U.S. borders to utilize the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP), a free service to U.S. citizens and nationals to enroll a trip abroad so that the Department of State can accurately and quickly contact in case of emergency. Benefits of STEP Updates about health, weather, safety and security for your destination. Plan ahead using information from the local U.S. embassy. Helps the embassy or consulate contact you if there is an emergency like a natural disaster, civil unrest, or a family emergency. Current Status: According to the U.S. Embassy & Consulates in Mexico website. Actions to Take: Seek shelter and minimize unnecessary movements. Avoid areas around law enforcement activity. Check @CAPUFE on X for status of road closures. Monitor local media for updates. Follow the directions of local authorities and in case of emergency, call 911. Keep family and friends advised of your location and well-being via phone, text, and social media. How To Be Travel Prepared Traveling abroad: Register in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program. Pack snacks such as microwave popcorn and small snacks. Stock your hotel room with extra bottled water and individually packaged snacks. Advise family and friends of location, length of trip and emergency contact information. Travel with extra medications as well as over the counter aides such as cold and fever meds. Philippines During this episode we learn how radio host, Jeff "Tigger" Erhardt", traveled to the Philippines for auctioneering. Tigger is a licensed and bonded auctioneer, with over 20 years experience.

Quick Philippines Travel Summary The Philippines are located in Southeast Asia, in the western Pacific Ocean and consist of over 7,100 islands. Positioned east of Vietnam and north of Indonesia. Capital: Manila Currency: Philippine Peso (PHP). Cash is king outside major cities. Language: Filipino and English Best Time to Visit the Philippines There are two main seasons. Dry Season: November–May (best time, especially Dec–April) Rainy Season: June–October (typhoons possible) Philippines Travel Tips Recommend drinking only bottled or filtered water.

The idea of traditions can feel heavy and like once you do it you're stuck doing them forever… I wanted to do a fullll podcast episode that would give you lots of ideas that feel light and fun and can be so special to your family.  Things that make you all feel more connected… and that feel so unique and important to your family. It's easy for parenting to feel like a constant sprint sometimes… school, sports, meals, naps… it's a refreshing change to lean into special things that your family does. I realized how precious this is when one of my kids wrote a little paper about one of our traditions in 1st grade.  You realize… this is the stuff they remember and the resinates deep. This whole thing is about pausing these busy life days we are all living and thinking about emotional anchors we can create throughout the year. Traditions don't have to be rigid. They don't have to be expensive. And they definitely don't have to be perfect. Today we're talking about a fresh way to think about family traditions: Some traditions you repeat every year  Some you rotate  Some you try once and just remember  Some you write down so your family builds its own memory playbook Because what kids remember most isn't perfection… it's connection. HOLIDAY TRADITIONS The goal here isn't more pressure. It's creating emotional anchors in the year. VALENTINE'S DAY TRADITIONS Love notes on door After dinner game Decorate Valentine boxes & make notes for each other Secret Santa but Valentine style Blow up heart with balls and prizes to find inside Kids serve you dinner on Valentine's Kids go out to dinner with you on Valentine's HALLOWEEN TRADITIONS Say Trick Or Treat at the front door on Halloween in Costume Do family costumes and everyone plans them together Decorate the inside and/or outside of the house in a certain theme or go all out together Give out something specific like full size candy bars Set-up a game for trick or treaters to play to win an extra candy Pumpkin carving or pumpkin painting - invite everyone over THANKSGIVING TRADITIONS Gratitude time capsules, write notes and open them the next year Family volunteer Saturday Everyone puts what they are most thankful for in a hat and everyone guesses who said what Wear "thankful" shirts Family interview night, record what everyone is most thankful for - especially grandparents Coloring page to color all day on kids table CHRISTMAS TRADITIONS Put lights around your neighborhood on Christmas Eve Ornament tradition, collecting special ones when you travel or making them Cutting down or picking out tree together right after thanksgiving Advent calendars Reindeer food Drive to see Christmas lights Decorate Christmas cookies Matching PJs FOURTH OF JULY TRADITIONS Do something nice for a veteran or someone that helps our country or community Stop by fire station with breakfast or something nice USA pride anything - decorate car windows, we do our golf cart Find neighborhood event at a park or create one NEW YEAR'S EVE TRADITIONS Family Vision Board Night  Bang pots and pans Highlights of the year jar in kitchen- add to it throughout the year and read at end of year NY planning and goal setting Write a letter to yourself of what would make you consider next year a big success, if what happened, if you felt like what Watch the ball drop together with blowers Plan vacations for the year BIRTHDAY TRADITIONS (FOR KIDS AND PARENTS) Birthday breakfast interview... ask the same five questions every year  Go around the table and do full toasts about why you love the bday person Everyone decorates their room before they wake up Presents first thing in the morning Smash cake in the face One present from each person in the family One nice thoughtful card from each person in the family MONTHLY TRADITIONS One long Sunday dinner with games New experience day - try one new thing you have never done before One service project day, or just a few hours Hike, outdoor long walk together FAMILY DINNER TRADITIONS Rose, Thorn, Bud — best part, challenge, what you're excited about  Theme Dinner Nights with music and food from different countries  THE TRADITION NOTEBOOK IDEA Instead of forcing traditions to be permanent, create a small family notebook where you write down ideas you tried… funny moments… things you want to repeat someday. This removes pressure and keeps the magic. Keep it somewhere easy like kitchen or nightstand. Traditions evolve as your family grows. Traditions are not about doing more. They're about choosing moments that slow life down… even just a little. You don't need to create ten new traditions this year.  You don't need Pinterest-perfect ideas. Start with one small thing that feels natural to your family. Maybe it lasts one year… maybe it becomes something your kids talk about forever. The real goal isn't perfection. It's creating a feeling… a rhythm… a sense that no matter how busy life gets, your family has small anchors that bring you back to each other. And over time, those moments become the story of your family.

We throw ourselves into a brutally fun Disney Would You Rather showdown where every choice comes with a consequence — and there's absolutely no fence-sitting allowed. Encanto is coming to Animal Kingdom… so do you double down with another blockbuster attraction or finally fix Tomorrowland once and for all? Only visit EPCOT during festivals… or give them up forever in exchange for a free table service meal every visit? Build a fifth gate in Orlando… or continually expand the four parks we already love? And that's just the beginning. We debate ride strategy chaos like standby-only Guardians vs virtual queue forever, losing all boat rides vs losing all dark rides, and whether you'd rather guarantee Flight of Passage stays under 30 minutes or finally see the Yeti working perfectly again. Then we dive into dining dilemmas, resort loyalty tests, and park-day strategy battles that reveal what kind of Disney fan you really are — rope drop every day or close the parks every night? Plan everything 60 days out or completely wing it? This episode is part nostalgia, part strategy, part chaos — and 100% the kind of conversation that will have you yelling your answers at your speakers.

A few patterns keep showing up in conversations with leaders and business owners: 1- The list everyone's avoiding A lot of people updated their holiday card list… …and realized there are a lot of people they haven't spoken to in months (or years). Action: -Make a master list of everyone you haven't connected with in the last 3, 6, 12, or 24 months — Pick up the phone and call them in January. 2- Planning is happening. Execution is pausing. January is already here. Waiting for the "right time" to ask for meetings or business slows momentum. Plan — yes. But leadership shows up in execution. 3- Social media is a multiplier, not a nice-to-have Your clients are on these platforms. If you're posting occasionally, generically, or waiting to be perfect — you're being forgotten. Be consistent. Be visible. Be you. Comment. Engage. Share perspective. Top of mind wins. 4- Don't run from AI — run toward it You don't need hours a day. Start with 1–5 minutes daily learning how to use it to think, write, and lead better.

This episode of The Redacted Report is a companion piece to our full deep dive on the Lewis Lent case released earlier this week. If you haven't listened to that episode first, we strongly recommend starting there, as this isn't a recap. This is where we dig into the overlooked, lesser known, and rarely discussed facts surrounding Lewis Lent and the investigation that brought him down.We examine the disturbing specifics of Lent's so-called master plan as documented in Massachusetts court records, including his description of the multi-compartment confinement system he was constructing and the chillingly clinical victim profile he laid out for investigators. We explore how his terminology for interim victims reveals the calculated progression of a predator who was actively transitioning from impulsive kills to long-term captivity.The episode also covers the remarkable coincidence involving Detective Owen Boyington and his daughter Amy, both of whom apprehended criminals on the same day in January of nineteen ninety four.We look at the lasting impact on the Shallies family, whose decades of scrutiny following Lent's arrest is a story that rarely gets told, and the twenty twenty four return to their property by investigators still searching for Sara Anne Wood. We discuss the evidentiary significance of the duct tape match that connected the Bernardo murder scene to Lent's vehicle three years later, the legal technicality that means Lent has never served a single day in New York for Sara Wood's murder, and the heartbreaking words of Jamie Lusher's father at the twenty thirteen press conference. We also break down Lent's mental health defense strategy, including the alter ego he conveniently named after his own middle name, and why prosecution psychologists argued he was faking every bit of it.If you have any information regarding the whereabouts of Sara Anne Wood or Jamie Lusher, please contact the New York State Police Troop D Headquarters at 315-366-6000. 

This week on the SEANC View Podcast, we check in with Past President Charles Johnson. Charles served as SEANC President from 2010 to 2012. He also served on the State Health Plan Board of Trustees and on statewide boards for the pension system and criminal justice. He retired from state service, primarily in prisons, where he rose from an entry-level correctional officer to Associate Warden. Charles details how he fought against passing exploding health care costs onto state employees and retirees while on the Plan board. He also discusses his career in prisons, the changing state workforce, the vacancy crisis, and his strategies for retaining employees during his time in leadership. We also discuss early voting turnout for the March 3 Primary Election, and key races that are hotly contested.

Production is steady. Prices dipped. But nearly 5 million birds are gone – and migration season is just getting started.BEEF: Harvest rose to 541K head, but we're still running well behind last year. Middle meats are inching higher, especially strips, while chucks soften and grinds slip again (for now). Production isn't growing. Plan accordingly.POULTRY: Production is up 2% year over year, but the early-year price run just stalled. Wings, breasts, and tenders dipped slightly. Meanwhile, avian flu hit hard again, and spring migration could make things interesting.GRAINS: Soy oil is moving higher for a second straight week, surprising given the supply. Corn slipped back, wheat flat. Right now, soy has the spotlight.PORK: Bellies climbed again to $138 and still look headed higher. The rest of the complex is steady and balanced. Nothing dramatic… yet.DAIRY: Dairy has direction. Block jumped, butter keeps recovering, barrel ticking up. Momentum is building.Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

In this episode, we take "consistency over intensity" out of the gym and straight into relationships. Because if it's intense all the time, you burn out. If it's consistent all the time, you get bored. So what's the sweet spot? We talk about respect as the real baseline, convenience vs. connection, why lifelong marriage might need a rethink (yes, we went there), and how finances, in-laws, religion, and resentment erode connection faster than lack of chemistry ever could. We unpack how to approach hard conversations without triggering defensiveness, why movement helps when words get stuck, and how planned romance can still be romantic (if it's not transactional). There's a dash of "Liz & Lee Love Plan" brainstorming, a little twerking therapy, and a reminder that love isn't about pressure or perfection. It's about bravery, honesty, low expectations, and choosing each other again and again… until you don't. And if you don't? That's information, too.   Resources mentioned: Consistency vs. Intensity in Fitness (Episode 206) Love Languages Are Kinda BS (Episode 179) Liz's favorite Everyday Oil - Unscented Liz's favorite Everyday Oil - Mainstay   3 Ways to Strengthen Your Relationship Without Burning It Down: Respect is the real baseline. Intensity is exciting. Consistency is comforting. But without respect, neither one holds. Love without respect doesn't last. Speak from love, not accusation. Hard conversations are inevitable. Defensiveness is optional. Lead with "I'm struggling" instead of "You never." Move your body together. Lower the pressure. Sometimes breakthroughs come after laughter, not confrontation. Keep a dash of crazy. Grand gestures are great. Daily small touches matter more. Plan the dinner. Drop the expectations. Twerk in the kitchen. Low expectations + real affection = longevity.

An obsessed killer stalks and guns down his Ex's sleeping CEO hubby, after meticulously creating the perfect "Plan" to get away with murder. He doesn't get away with the crime, but he will skip jail & head instead to a mental ward...which has the victim's family fuming! A Philly man's fatal fury: he guns down his spouse in a roadside rage for 'disrespecting' him at a party. Plus, a whopping defeat for a suspect who had a beef at a fast-food joint.

Injury, forced downtime, and disrupted plans don't just interrupt training — they disrupt identity. And while we celebrate comebacks, we rarely talk about the in-between: the phase where the old plan no longer fits, and the next version of you isn't clear yet. In this episode, I talk about what actually happens in that space, why “just focus on coming back” often falls flat, and how elite performers navigate identity shifts after setbacks. We'll explore why you don't need to know who you'll be on the other side — only that this phase is building strength you can't access any other way. If you're in a season where things don't look like you expected, this episode will help you re-orient without rushing yourself.

Brad and Dan speak at the Combine The Detroit Lions hit the NFL Scouting Combine on Tuesday with clarity at a critical spot. Minutes after Dan Campbell wrapped his podium, Taylor Decker posted that he is coming back. The timing sharpened the conversation that both Campbell and Brad Holmes started in Indianapolis. Plan as if Decker might not be there. Welcome him if he is. Now he is. That stabilizes left tackle. The Lions still want a real plan B at tackle. Even with Decker back for 2026, they need depth and a future answer. The return eases the pressure to chase a plug-and-play starter immediately. It also widens the draft choices. Detroit can shop for value instead of forcing the board. Ready-Now vs. Upside at Tackle, and the Ripple at Edge With Decker in place, the Lions can consider a developmental tackle at 17 or 50. That shifts the calculus between floor and ceiling. Spencer Fano and Francis Mauigoa are widely viewed as the most NFL-ready. They might not reach Detroit. The alternative is betting on growth. Caleb Lomu fits the long-range model. Monroe Freeling does too. There is even patience baked in for an injured stash like Isaiah Wood on Day 3. Freed from a must-start tackle search, Detroit can let the best player win the room. The vibe in Indianapolis points to edge and offensive line as the early pillars. Safety lingers as a swing factor. The first two rounds still look like edge and offensive line, with safety in the mix if the board breaks right. Safety Health Clouds the Secondary, Card-Ready at 17? Both leaders addressed the safeties' health. The update on Kerby was cautious. More will be known in about a month. The staff is probing his recovery and realistic timeline. It did not sound overly promising. Branch tore his Achilles late in the season. A return before the start seems unlikely, and peak form could take time in 2026. The defense felt that loss. When the NFL's interception leader went down with a knee injury, the secondary buckled and the unit needed weeks to adjust. That context keeps safety very live on Day 1 or 2. If Cam Dow is there at 17, the card goes in. Otherwise, Detroit can let a deep edge class meet a flexible tackle board and take what the NFL gives. One more steadying note from the Combine floor: the defensive coaching staff stays intact. Campbell is energized by that continuity. The Detroit Lions Podcast will have more as medicals and workouts reshape this board in real time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OzHbLEbLDg #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #taylordecker #bradholmes #dancampbell #nflscoutingcombine #lucasoilfield #offensivetackle #edgerusher #spencerfano #francismanu #caleblomu #monroefraley #isaiahwood #kirby #branchachilles #pick17 Learn more about your ad choices.

Imagine breaking even at the casino and still owing taxes.Beginning in 2026, Congress approved a new rule that limits gambling loss deductions to 90%. That means if you win $10,000 and lose $10,000, you could still owe taxes on $1,000 of phantom income.Today, we're breaking down the new gambling tax rule that quietly slipped into law, why it creates phantom income for gamblers, and what casual and professional gamblers need to do right now to protect themselves.

There's a Lit song that's been stuck in my head for weeks: "My Own Worst Enemy." And it's the perfect metaphor for my entire solo journey.I've blocked myself at every stage—consulting, fractional leadership, and now with The Escapee Collective. Not intentionally, but by doing what corporate trained me to do: overanalyze, overstructure, and wait for perfection before taking action.In this episode, I walk you through the three times I made the same mistake—and what I'm doing differently now.If you're overthinking, over-structuring, or waiting for the "perfect" website, pitch deck, or system before you start—this one's for you.In This Episode:The consulting mistake: Building the perfect website, pitch deck, and pricing before having a single conversation with a client (and why it led to zero wins)The fractional repeat: Doing the EXACT same thing again—new methodology, new deck, same lack of resultsThe Escapee Collective lesson: How TikTok took off with zero plan, then how I complicated it again with masterminds, classes, and modules—and why I had to simplifyWhy corporate trains us backwards: Plan first, act second works in corporate—but solo requires the oppositeWhat actually works: Conversations, experimentation, messy wins FIRST—then structureThe 79% reality: Why most burned-out corporate workers won't take action (and how to be in the 35% who do)How to catch yourself: Recognizing when you're building systems before you have proofKey Takeaway:Action beats planning. Momentum beats perfection. Get early wins first—THEN build the structure around what's working.

What if your next STEM lesson started with a 65‑foot whale and a beach cleanup scavenger hunt?For 25 years, Blue Ocean Society has been quietly protecting whales and marine life right in our New England “backyard.” In this ocean-focused episode, Dr. Diane talks with co-founder and executive director Jen Kennedy about how long-term whale research, monthly beach cleanups, and joyful, hands-on education invite kids (and adults) to learn through play while caring for the Gulf of Maine.Jen shares how photo-ID lets them follow individual whales like Pinball and Little Spot over decades, and what threats like entanglement, vessel strikes, warming waters, and shifting prey mean for species such as the North Atlantic right whale. You'll hear how Blue Ocean Society turns data collection into citizen science, trash into art, and curiosity into real-world STEM/STEAM experiences—through their inflatable fin whale, microplastics toolkits, marine-debris art projects, and kid-friendly “scavenger hunt” cleanups.If you love whales, teach STEM/STEAM, or want playful, hopeful ways to connect curiosity, conservation, and hands-on learning, this adventure is for you.Chapters:02:11 – From whale intern to co-founder: the Blue Ocean Society story04:00 – Falling in love with whales, photo-ID, Pinball & Little Spot06:29 – Threats to whales: entanglement, vessels & a warming Gulf of Maine08:20 – Learning through play: inflatable whales, school programs & touch tanks09:46 – Beach cleanups & turning data into action12:36 – Microplastics, foam fragments & upstream choices families can make15:32 – Citizen science: Marine Debris Tracker, microplastics toolkits & kids as scientists20:49 – Dream research cruises, hidden whales & what still excites Jen22:39 – Joy, resilience & favorite whale facts 26:23 – How to donate, volunteer, adopt a whale & what gives Jen hopeLinksBlue Ocean Society Sign up for 2026 Blue Ocean SymposiumFollow on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedInCall to ActionReady to turn whale wonder into hands-on learning?Choose one single-use item to swap for a reusable option this week and invite your learners to do the same.Plan a “scavenger hunt” cleanup at your schoolyard, park, or local shoreline, and treat it like a STEM investigation.Support the showShare this episode If this conversation sparked wonder, gave you a helpful strategy, or offered a needed reminder of hope, please share it with a friend or colleague.

Many of the graduates whose university costs were funded with Plan 2 student loans are now in their 30s, wondering why they have no money at the end of the month, and why they still owe more student debt than they left uni with. The critical mass of graduates feeling the pinch might just have been reached - and now they're feeling angry and ripped off. On this week’s personal finance edition of Merryn Talks Money, Editor at Large for Bloomberg UK Wealth, Merryn Somerset Webb and author of the Money Distilled newsletter, John Stepek unpick how Plan 2 and the new - perhaps even worse - Plan 5 loans work, how and why graduate marginal tax rates can easily exceed 50% and what tweaks could be made to ease the burden. They also ask the overarching question: is the problem the system? Or is it the fact that the UK seems to be incapable of creating enough high paying jobs?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

About the Guest: Ivan Tornos grew up in Madrid, Spain, facing profound loss—his father, uncle, and brother all passed at 45 from cancer—which fueled his mission to "alleviate pain and extend life" in healthcare. Now CEO of Zimmer Biomet, a century-old medtech giant, he's expanding from orthopedics into robotics, AI, and infection prevention, aiming to become "the boldest medtech company on Earth." Early in his career, Ivan struggled with leadership until embracing purpose alongside execution. "Once you get the purpose right and you're authentic about it, that's not enough—you gotta inspire performance and manage performance," he explains, outlining his 4P algorithm honed over 31 years at companies like J&J and Baxter. Listen to hear how he "fired himself from email," blocks personal KPIs in his calendar (like gym time and calling his 90-year-old mom), and prioritizes patients over short-term shareholders—creating low turnover and high engagement at a $20B+ market cap firm. What You Will Learn: The 4P leadership model (Purpose, Plan, People, Processes) for turning vision into results How to define winning holistically across spiritual, personal, physical, mental, and professional dimensions with personal KPIs Why saying no and ruthless calendar audits (every Sunday) beat busyness every time Balancing hugs and "kicks" as a leader, plus allowing failure for bold innovation Ivan delivers transformative advice for leaders at any level, rooted in Dale Carnegie authenticity.

Life is full of projects. Some are fun, like my album project of 2026, and some are less fun, like cleaning out a garage. But we all have them, will continue to have them, and you can probably think of one that needs doing right now. It's nice to have some tools to lean on that help you get better at projects, to start projects you'll finish, and finish projects that matter to you. So today I'll share ten ways to get better at projects. Helpful Companion Links Order my book The PLAN or ask your library to consider carrying a copy.

Today's Headlines: On Friday, the Supreme Court ruled 6–3 that Donald Trump's tariffs are unconstitutional under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. The dissenters: Thomas, Alito, and Kavanaugh. Trump responded by blasting Justices Gorsuch and Barrett as “disloyal” and insisting he can “destroy trade” but not “charge a little fee.” He then proposed a global 10% tariff workaround — later bumped to 15%. Meanwhile, Americans are still effectively paying 9.1% in tariffs, and the Court didn't address what happens to the $133 billion already collected. Over the weekend, Trump announced he's sending a “great hospital boat” to Greenland, despite Denmark saying it wasn't informed and doesn't need it. The Navy ships in question are reportedly in Alabama. Sure. On the Russia beat, a Trump ally signed a natural gas deal with Russian energy giant Novatek despite U.S. sanctions tied to Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine — the first known new U.S.–Russia venture of its kind. Separately, ICE and other agencies contracted with phone-forensics firm Oxygen Forensics, which has ties to sanctioned former FSB figures. At the same time, DHS has issued hundreds of subpoenas to tech companies seeking identifying information on users critical of ICE. Trump is also pressuring Netflix to remove Susan Rice from its board amid maneuvering around a media acquisition deal that could affect CNN. Casual. In Florida, Secret Service agents shot and killed a 21-year-old man who allegedly breached the perimeter of Mar-a-Lagowith what appeared to be a shotgun and fuel can; the investigation is ongoing. Meanwhile, Florida lawmakers approved renaming Palm Beach International Airport after Trump — a $5.5 million rebrand. And finally, taxpayers will now provide new Secret Service agents with two tailored suits upon graduation. Inflation hits us all differently.

I always keep a copy in my pocket, and I share it with people who are curious about our standards. It has been updated and refreshed to better cope with the challenges and temptations of our day. The new version of For the Strength of Youth is available online in 50 different languages and will also be available in print. It will be a significant help for making choices in your life. Please embrace it as your own and share it with your friends. This new version of For the Strength of Youth is subtitled A Guide for Making Choices. To be very clear, the best guide you can possibly have for making choices is Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the strength of youth. So the purpose of For the Strength of Youth is to point you to Him. It teaches you eternal truths of His restored gospel—truths about who you are, who He is, and what you can accomplish with His strength. It teaches you how to make righteous choices based on those eternal truths.13 It's also important to know what For the Strength of Youth does not do. It doesn't make decisions for you. It doesn't give you a “yes” or “no” about every choice you might ever face. For the Strength of Youth focuses on the foundation for your choices. It focuses on values, principles, and doctrine instead of every specific behavior. The Lord, through His prophets, has always been guiding us in that direction. He is pleading with us to “increase [our] spiritual capacity to receive revelation.”14 He is inviting us to “hear Him.”15 He is calling us to follow Him in higher and holier ways.16 And we are learning in a similar way every week in Come, Follow Me.     ACU Endorsed Charities -------------------------------------------------------- Pre-Born!

Today, our interdenominational Christian ministry serves the poor in primarily 17 countries throughout the Caribbean and Latin America. Thanks to our faithful donors, we are able to provide food, housing, healthcare, education, fresh water, emergency relief, micro-enterprise solutions and much more. We are proud to have fed millions of people and provided more than 15.7 billion dollars in aid. Our faith inspires us to be an organization built on compassion, and motivated by love. Our mission is to bring relief to the poorest of the poor in the countries where we serve. We strive to reflect God's unconditional love. It's a sacrificial love that embraces all people regardless of race or religion. We believe that we can show His love by serving the “least of these” on this earth as Christ challenged us to do in Matthew 25. We pray that by God's grace, and with your support, we can continue to bring relief to the suffering and hope to the hopeless. --------------------------------------------------------

EPs can feel overwhelming, emotional, and complicated—and that's because they are.In this episode of The Lucky Few Podcast, we kick off our new season, What I Wish I'd Known About…, by talking about IEPs—what we wish we understood from the very beginning, and what we've learned the hard way.Fresh off a multi-hour meeting, we share honestly about the exhaustion, the tension, and the “us vs. them” dynamic that can creep in. We unpack how evaluations drive goals, how goals drive placement, and why learning the language of the IEP changes everything. We talk about inclusion, evolving expectations, and what it looks like to follow our child's lead as they grow.Most importantly, we remind ourselves—and you—of this:Our kids are not problems to fix.The IEP exists to serve them.Whether this is your first meeting or your fifteenth, we hope this conversation helps you feel more steady, more informed, and less alone.SHOW NOTES:For more practical guidance, we've learned a lot from Ashley Barlow and her work at Ashley Barlow Co.. She offers clear, actionable resources to help you navigate IEPs, strengthen your advocacy skills, and understand your rights—all in one place.Check out more IEP Episodes:78.
