America Out Loud PULSE with Dr. Clayton J. Baker – JPMorgan treated a convicted sex offender (Jeffrey Epstein) as the operational architect of a Gates-linked charitable fund—soliciting his input on structure, compliance, and strategy as early as February 2011. Vaccines were positioned as a capital-raising narrative inside financial structures designed for scale, offshore flexibility...

In this episode, Carl expands the idea of planning beyond money to include the four forms of capital we're always spending: money, energy, time, and attention. He explains why plans that only optimize for dollars can look great on paper and still fail in real life, especially when invisible costs like exhaustion, distraction, or resentment go unexamined. Through simple, human examples, Carl argues that attention is the true currency of meaning and relationships, and that real planning is about aligning how we use all of our capital with what actually matters to us.Want more from Carl?

Why do wealthier households tend to live longer and experience fewer chronic diseases? Richard Rosso & Jonathan McCarty break down the Wealth-Health Gap—how income, savings, and environment shape health through housing quality, access to care, and financial resilience. We also flip the lens: poor health can reduce earnings, drain savings, and create a vicious cycle that widens disparities across generations. Finally, we discuss systemic factors that amplify the gap and practical policy ideas aimed at improving both economic stability and health outcomes. 0:00 - INTRO 0:20 - Uncle Floyd & Chuy Intro 3:06 - The Health-Wealth Connect 6:05 - Diet, Lifestyle, & Spending Choices 7:32 - Kevin O'Leary's Health-Wealth Regimen 9:40 - Lifestyle Matters 12:48 - The Cost of Healthy Eating 20:02 - The Revolution in Health in Wealth Planning 22:02 - Younger Generations Want to Know 27:15 - Planning for Healthy Retirement 28:30 - Information for Better Health 31:56 - Planning for Healthcare Costs in Retirement 34:14 - Why Not Know? 38:40 - Stack the Odds in Your Favor 44:15 - Candid Coffee Teaser Hosted by RIA Advisors Director of Financial Planning, Richard Rosso, CFP, w Senior Investment Advisor, Jonathan McCarty, CFP Produced by Brent Clanton, Executive Producer ------- Register for our next Candid Coffee, 2/21/26: https://streamyard.com/watch/Wq3Yvn9ny5GV ------- Watch Today's Full Video on our YouTube Channel: https://youtube.com/live/TynkcovRQIQ?feature=share ------- Watch our previous show, "Truflation vs CPI: What Inflation Is Really Doing Today," here: https://youtube.com/live/Ojlx_IPrDUg?feature=share -------- The latest installment of our new feature, Before the Bell, "Markets Set Up for Rotation Trades is here: https://youtu.be/IKsm6U2CK8w ------- Visit our E-book Library (no library card required!) https://realinvestmentadvice.com/ria-e-guide-library/ -------- SUBSCRIBE to The Real Investment Show here: http://www.youtube.com/c/TheRealInvestmentShow -------- Visit our Site: https://www.realinvestmentadvice.com Contact Us: 1-855-RIA-PLAN -------- Subscribe to SimpleVisor: https://www.simplevisor.com/register-new -------- Connect with us on social: https://twitter.com/RealInvAdvice https://twitter.com/LanceRoberts https://www.facebook.com/RealInvestmentAdvice/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/realinvestmentadvice/ #WealthHealthGap #SocialDeterminantsOfHealth #HealthEquity #FinancialPlanning #WealthInequality

From defining what long-term care actually means to exploring where care is delivered, how it's paid for, and why planning ahead creates more control and dignity, this conversation cuts through common misconceptions.In this episode, you will learn:Long-term care is about caregiving, not healthcare.Care doesn't only happen in nursing homes.Medicare coverage is limited and often misunderstood.Planning ahead creates options — waiting removes them.Long-term care planning is about dignity and quality of life.And more!Resources:Episode Transcript & Blog | www.lavineltcins.com | 275-609-0001 | Raymond Lavine on Facebook | Raymond Lavine on LinkedIn | Bautis Financial: 8 Hillside Ave, Suite LL1 Montclair, New Jersey 07042 (862) 205-5000 | Schedule an Introductory CallWant to be a guest on The Agent of Wealth?

The Bowhunter Chronicles Podcast - Episode 387: He Shot my Buck Out From Under Me : Aaron Olsen Next Step Outdoors In this episode of the Bowhunter Chronicles podcast, Adam sits down to talk with Aaron Olsen of Next Step Outdoors to break down the real-world challenges of public land hunting, covering strategy, mindset, and decision-making from start to finish of a hard-fought hunt. The discussion explores balancing family life and hunting season, managing expectations, and adapting when conditions and pressure don't go as planned. A pivotal moment in the hunt sparks the core debate of the episode: while glassing a buck, another hunter spotted the same deer, slipped in, and ultimately shot it out from in front of them. What followed became a race to the buck—and a larger conversation about ethics, unwritten rules, and fair play on public land. Was the other hunter in the wrong, or was it simply part of hunting ground that belongs to everyone? Beyond that moment, the episode dives into missed opportunities, mid-hunt adjustments, weather challenges, deer movement, and spot-and-stalk versus ground hunting tactics. Mental toughness and patience are tested as pressure increases from other hunters, leading to honest reflections on luck vs skill, scouting, preparation, and lessons learned for future hunts. Topics Covered: Public land hunting strategy Hunting ethics and shared ground Deer movement and scouting Spot-and-stalk vs ground hunting Decision-making under pressure

Learn the small shift that makes referrals repeatable. Check out our new video training. --What happens when years of planting seeds finally meets the right market moment?Alexis Trammel is Chief Growth Officer at Stratabeat, a B2B SaaS organic growth agency. She recently transitioned from account management into a biz dev role.  But the real story is how timing and preparation collided. For years, Stratabeat was doing the unglamorous work: niching down, building LinkedIn presence, publishing original research, speaking at conferences, nurturing relationships. Then GEO (generative engine optimization) hit right as AI anxiety peaked, and suddenly the leads started flooding in. This conversation explores what it looks like when the groundwork you've been laying finally pays off, and why most agencies aren't ready when their moment arrives.What You'll Leave With:Why lead flow needs to exist before you hire a salesperson—not the other way aroundHow years of niching down positioned them to catch the GEO waveThe compounding value of original research, LinkedIn presence, and conference visibilityWhy internal sales hires often outperform external ones when the foundation is thereHow to keep planting seeds even when you're not sure which one will sproutThe seasonality reality and why "when it rains, it pours" cuts both waysTimestamps:[00:00] Introduction to Alexis Trammel and Stratabeat[02:36] The long road of niching down and eliminating services[03:19] When AI panic created unexpected demand for GEO[05:16] Original research as a lead gen and credibility play[07:46] Coming back from maternity leave to a sales opportunity[10:00] Why the lead flow has to come before the sales hire[11:47] Wearing both the sales and marketing hats[14:10] Planning for seasonality when you're riding a wave[16:41] LinkedIn as long-term brand building, not cold outreach[22:04] GEO converting better than almost everything except referrals[30:12] The relationship groundwork that makes referrals possibleMentioned Resources / Links:Stratabeat - B2B SaaS organic growth agencyNever Eat Alone by Keith FerrazziAlexis Trammell on LinkedInTom Shapiro on LinkedIn

What happens when the systems we've relied on for centuries stop working—and we're asked to lead ourselves instead?  In this episode, Nicole explores the massive energetic shift humanity is already moving through as we approach the end of the Cross of Planning and prepare to enter the Cross of the Sleeping Phoenix in 2027. This isn't a future prediction—it's a lens for understanding why so much feels unstable, uncertain, and up for renegotiation right now. You'll hear how the collective, tribal agreements that shaped governments, institutions, work, family, and leadership are breaking down—and why that breakdown is not a mistake, but a transition. Nicole explains the key differences between these two eras and how they show up in everyday life, from our relationship with authority to the growing push toward independence, intuition, and self-directed paths. Nicole also explores why Human Design becomes especially relevant in times like these. As groupthink, emotional contagion, and charismatic leadership intensify, learning how to make decisions from your own authority—not fear, pressure, or the crowd—becomes essential. She shares how understanding these energetic dynamics can help you stay grounded, clear, and less reactive as the world around you feels increasingly volatile. This episode is an invitation to observe what's happening without getting consumed by it, to feel what's true without bypassing discomfort, and to begin preparing yourself for a very different way of operating in the world. If you've felt like something big is shifting but haven't had language for it yet, this episode will help you start connecting the dots. Listen now!

Priorities, politics, and pockets, the real PPP. If you want to know what the government cares about, check how they spend their money. In this first episode of Season Six of The Four Degrees to the Streets Podcast we discuss how the federal government spends its $1,589,000,000,000 ($1.6 Trillion) dollar budget & how that spending directly relates to the political and social issues of 2026 such as DEI, immigration, and healthcare.

On episode 732 of the 40+ Fitness podcast, Coach Allan welcomes strength and fitness legend Dan John to the show, a man whose decades of experience span from elite athletics to coaching and academia. In this episode, Coach Allan, fresh off celebrating his 60th birthday, shares a hard-hitting statistic: only 22% of people actually follow the bare minimum guidelines for strength training. This sets the stage for a powerful conversation on why resistance training isn't just a good idea. It's absolutely vital for anyone over 40 who wants to maintain their health, function, and independence into their later years. Dan John unpacks his concept of "everyday strength," the kind of lasting fitness that lets you handle anything life throws your way, from carrying all your groceries in one trip to chasing after grandkids without missing a beat. Together, Coach Allan and Dan John break down how your focus should evolve with age: building foundational strength in midlife, prioritizing muscle mass, joint mobility, and regular walking as you move through your 50s, 60s, and beyond.

Planning an Ireland vacation can feel overwhelming when you start adding up the numbers -but a memorable trip doesn't have to be out of reach. With smart choices and a few intentional trade-offs, travelers can enjoy Ireland fully without overspending. Guinness costs less in a rural pub This article is also available as the Traveling in Ireland podcast, episode 324. Use the player below to listen or scroll to continue reading the article and get resource links. How to Travel Ireland on a Tighter Budget Without Regret Ireland isn't expensive because of one single thing – it's the accumulation of daily costs. Understanding where money actually matters (and where it doesn't) makes all the difference. What a Realistic Daily Budget Looks Like For travelers watching their spending, typical daily costs (not including flights) often look like this: Budget-conscious travelers: around €130 per day Mid-range comfort: approximately €180 per day Comfort & luxury: €300+ per day That daily spend usually includes accommodations, meals, transportation, and attractions. Knowing this baseline helps travelers decide where to adjust – without sacrificing what they'll remember most. Comfort Matters More Than Luxury Most travelers are happy to skip fancy hotels, upgraded rooms, or city-center addresses. What they won't give up: A good night's sleep Private rooms and quiet locations Comfortable beds and reliable hot water (with good water pressure) Discomfort creates regret, and regret has a way of coloring the entire trip. Local goats cheese with greens and Shepherd's pie Spend Less on Food-But Eat Well Dining is one of the easiest places to adjust spending. Plan fewer, better meals instead of eating out constantly Avoid high-priced areas like Temple Bar for everyday meals and pints Choose accommodations with breakfast outside the cities Use grocery shops or petrol stations for casual lunches or picnic supplies Saving money on food isn't about deprivation – it's about choosing when the experience really matters. Guide to Eating Well During Your Ireland Vacation Stay Outside the Most Expensive Areas Staying just outside major hubs can significantly reduce accommodation costs. Villages near Dublin connected by DART or bus offer better value Rural areas near popular spots like Killarney, Dingle, or County Clare beyond Doolin often cost less The trade-off is time and logistics. Distance is flexible; complicated transportation and missed evenings in local pubs are not. Off-Season Travel: Big Savings, Different Rhythm Traveling outside peak season can mean:Pros Lower airfare and accommodation costs Fewer crowds Easier access to popular sites Cons Shorter daylight hours (often 8 hours or less in winter) Cooler, wetter weather Reduced hours or closures at smaller attractions Off-season trips suit flexible travelers, repeat visitors, and those who enjoy a slower pace. Transportation: Money vs. Time Public transportation is affordable, but it comes with trade-offs: Limited access in rural areas Longer travel times Less flexibility if plans change It works best for city-based itineraries with structured day trips. Renting a car costs more -but saves time and opens up more of the countryside. Flights: Cheapest Isn't Always the Best Deal Bare-bones airfare can backfire once baggage fees, seat selection, or change costs are added. Look for fares that include a checked bag and flexibility Learn typical pricing so true deals stand out Flexibility upfront often saves money later Flight search & fare tools for Ireland Flight monitoring & booking strategy (best timing for fixed dates) Ross Castle in Killarney Free Experiences & the OPW Heritage Card Ireland offers an incredible range of free experiences: Natural landscapes, hikes, and ruins National museums in Dublin and Castlebar One of the best values for travelers is the OPW Heritage Card, which often pays for itself in six or seven visits. It covers many top sites, including: Rock of Cashel Glendalough Visitor Centre Newgrange Kilmainham Gaol OPW Heritage Card (access to top historic sites) Irish heritage sites (the most popular + often overlooked) Used thoughtfully, it shapes a relaxed itinerary instead of becoming a checklist. Souvenirs That Actually Matter Travelers are moving away from mass-produced trinkets and toward: One or two meaningful items (jewelry, wool, crafts) Consumables like Irish chocolate or whiskey Memory-keepers like journals with ticket stubs and photos (the spiral bound My Ireland Vacation Planner & Journal is perfect for this!) The goal isn't proof of travel – it's connection and memories. Where Travelers Most Often Have Regrets After the trip, regrets rarely come from spending money. They usually come from: Overly long driving days Skipping a must-do experience Choosing poor accommodations What travelers don't regret: A truly great meal Staying somewhere special (yes, castles count) Buying a meaningful souvenir Saving money should never come at the cost of time – because time doesn't come back. Traveling Ireland on a tighter budget isn't about being cheap. It's about being intentional, returning home with great memories, and not wishing you'd done things differently.

Alex is a qualified International Mountain Leader, Polar Guide, and a professional Photographer based in St. Moritz, Switzerland. From scaling the world's highest peaks to leading expeditions in the Arctic and Antarctica, she thrives where the wild meets the extreme. Her passion for high-altitude exploration took her on a relentless quest; climbing the highest mountain on every continent, culminating on the summit of Mt. Everest in 2018. She became the first ever Hungarian to climb the Seven Summits. This journey ignited her mission to guide others through the raw beauty of the mountains and beyond. In the winter, she guides private snowshoe and fat bike around St. Moritz; in the summer, she leads exhilarating hiking and mountain biking adventures across the Alps. Between her Alps seasons, she's found working in the Polar regions (Antarctica: guide, zodiac driver, lecturer and lead crevasse rescue guide. Arctic: guide, zodiac driver, lecturer and polar bear guard) Her expertise extends far beyond Europe, guiding bespoke expeditions across the globe. An endurance athlete at heart, Alex is always chasing the next adventure—whether Polar ski crossing, racing mountain bikes, or pushing limits in the mountains. As a professional photographer and drone pilot, she uses her lens to capture the world's most remote landscapes, advocate for environmental conservation, and document the stories of the Polar regions. Her work is deeply inspired by mountains, polar history, pioneering female explorers, and the delicate balance of nature. In her recent book: Beyond the Seven Summits: Finding Strength Where the Air is Thin, Alex shares her experiences of climbing these mountains, and she also explores the journey that shaped who she is today: all the highs and lows. I hope to bring these peaks closer to readers by including short historical notes alongside each climb and sharing everything she learned along the way. The book is also rich in photographs, helping to bring both the stories and these beautiful mountains vividly to life.

Today's anchor is intentionally quiet. We are practicing something simple but very powerful. Listening instead of overriding.So often, we only slow down when our bodies force us to. When we're sick. Exhausted. Or running on empty.As women, and especially as mothers, we are so conditioned to be doing for everyone else. Holding. Managing. Anticipating. Planning. And the moment we pause, even briefly, guilt creeps in. Like we should be doing more. Like rest has to be earned.I am currently reading a book called The Relaxed Woman. And it's been a gentle reminder that relaxation isn't something we arrive at once everything is done. It's something we decide is important and we must practice relaxing in our real everyday lives. This anchor is an invitation to practice that.It's about practicing that pause before we reach a point of burnout and disregulation.This anchor is a reminder that rest is not a reward. It's information. And listening is one of the most powerful things we can do for ourselves and those around us.When we pause, we create space.Space to respond instead of react.Space to notice what we actually need.Space for our bodies to recalibrate without being pushed.When we pause, we model regulation for the people around us.We show our children, our partners, and ourselves that it's safe to slow down.That care doesn't have to come from exhaustion.Together we all learn that presence is more powerful than pushing through.As you move back into your day, carry this with you.You don't need to do more.You don't need to prove anything.Sometimes the most supportive thing you can dois stop and listen.Pause. Thanks for listening!

Nobody wants to talk about death - until they're sitting in a funeral home, numb, grieving, and trying to guess what their loved one would have wanted. This episode pulls back the curtain on a topic most families avoid, even though avoiding it often creates more pain, confusion, and guilt later. Stacy sits down with Frances Cangero, director of advanced planning at the Frank Campbell Funeral Chapel, to talk honestly about funeral pre-planning, why it's actually an act of love, and how having these conversations early can spare your family emotional and financial stress when it matters most. You'll hear them discuss: Why funeral planning is one of the most overlooked parts of estate planning How grief makes decision-making harder and why planning ahead changes everything The real story behind burial vs. cremation and why more families are choosing cremation Common misconceptions about pre-planning, including the idea that it's “only for the elderly” How much flexibility exists in funeral planning, from simple services to deeply personal details What prepaying actually means, how pricing is protected from inflation, and where the money is held Why keeping ashes without a plan can unintentionally pass stress to the next generation How family conflict can arise when wishes aren't clearly documented The importance of naming someone with legal authority to control final arrangements Why having these conversations is a gift to the people you love - not something morbid or scary Resources Frances Cangero on Frank E.

Annie adds her signature tips: where to skip the queues, how to navigate like a local, and why comfortable shoes are your best friend. You'll hear how Rick logged 32,000 steps, dodged Paris traffic (Olympic prep chaos!), and still found time for ice cream at Berthillon, a Seine River cruise with wine, and a late-night crêpe.

Discover the “five fundamentals” for collaborative leadership, learn how to handle challenging personalities (including the “HiPPO” dynamic), and hear why real transformation starts with top-down engagement and extensive practice, not just passive training videos. Tune in for actionable strategies to reclaim time, drive better decisions, and create a culture of buy-in from the very first meeting. Quotes: “The fastest way to transform your company's culture is to change the way you lead meetings because every meeting is a window into your organization's soul.” “Real leadership isn't about having all the answers. It's about creating space for every voice and guiding your team to believe, ‘We did this ourselves.'” “You can't shift a culture with information alone. Transformation happens when leaders show up, practice together, and model the behaviors they want to see.” Resources: Evan Unger on LinkedIn

The chat group story has gone crazy wild, and the reactions have been satisfying. Street protests are organized, dangerous and well planned. They are not dumb. When legitimacy shifts, power and control fail. License plate data is made accessible. They hide behind trusted roles. Never burn your persona. Hospitals collect data. They publish guides on how to occupy buildings, what's acceptable violence, and how to kill MAGA. Lots of fed employees involved. Onward and upward, is an owned slogan. Terrain dominance plans. Why didn't they do all this earlier? Good independent journalists are supported by the people. Stephen King admits the 2020 reality. Remember when Kammie bailed out the protesters? Arrest wills are what again? They even do pet sitting for those arrested. It's our tax dollars funding all this. Remember, Obama was behind CISA. A video on basic street care for injured radicals. Their presentations always obscure true intent. Role being played and good logistics. They want scrutiny. Hiding behind legit social groups. Planned immigration wars started with the Greeks. We're going to see more of this. Insane asylums to the rescue? Maybe. When the truth comes out, many people are going to lose their minds.
