Welcome back to Truth, Lies & Work. This is part two of our Predictions 2026 series, where we ask leaders, researchers and thinkers what they believe is coming our way next year. If part one was warm and reflective, part two brings the heat!

In this Losers Are Winners episode, Mark sits down with Trapper Roderick—a fifth-generation builder with a past life in custom suits (yes, really).

From equity missteps to $10M deals falling apart, this episode is a masterclass in learning the hard way—and coming out better for it.

We can't wait to experience miracles with you!   Welcome to a new episode of the Future Generations Podcast! Join us with Dr. Bob Sears, a pediatrician of nearly 30 years from Dana Point, CA and author of The Vaccine Book. Once a conventional, CDC‑trusting doctor, Dr. Sears shares how his perspective shifted as he encountered vaccine injuries and dug into the actual data behind risks and benefits. They explore what truly makes a "good pediatrician" today—one who honors informed consent, partners with parents regardless of their vaccine choices, and understands natural and holistic options for children's health. The discussion dives into the recent ACIP move on the hepatitis B shot at birth, how states like California may resist those changes, and the growing legal and constitutional battles around mandates and religious exemptions. Highlights: "My mission is to ensure that parents all over the world have access to objective, truthful, undoctored advice and informed consent on vaccines."   "A good pediatrician is one that listens to the parents… I'm here to serve you and help you in your journey, not to tell you what to do."    "We're vaccinating everyone for a disease that might infect one in 7 million kids."    "Doctors normalize reactions like encephalitis because they're happening so often. It's become expected, and that's terrifying."    Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction 01:29 Dr. Sears' Mission & Background 03:41 What Is a "Good" Pediatrician? 06:14 ACIP & Removing Hep B at Birth 07:43 States vs. CDC – Two-Tier Vaccine Policies 11:34 Religious Exemptions & the Courts 15:29 Actual Hep B Risk Numbers 26:50 Bob's Own Parenting & Vaccine Wake‑Up 33:05 Vaccine Injury, Encephalitis & Normalization 57:12 The Future: Pharma‑Free Families & Independent Docs Resources:   Remember to Rate, Review, and Subscribe on iTunes and Follow us on Spotify!   Learn more about Dr. Stanton Hom on:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drstantonhom  Website: https://futuregenerationssd.com/    Podcast Website: https://thefuturegen.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/drstantonhom  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stanhomdc  Stay Connected with the Future Generations Podcast:   Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/futuregenpodcast  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/futuregenpodcast/    Links:    https://www.thehivemethod.co/ https://www.instagram.com/thehivemethod.co   About Dr. Bob Sears Dr. Bob Sears is a pediatrician, father of three, grandfather of two, author of The Vaccine Book (newly revised 2019 plus an added Covid chapter) and seven other books, and creator of The Vaccine Consult Video at DrBobSears.com. His latest book is One Doctor vs The Medical Board. Dr. Bob earned his medical degree at Georgetown University School of Medicine in 1995 and did his pediatric internship and residency at Children's Hospital Los Angeles. He continues to practice pediatrics at his office in Dana Point, CA, where he provides a combination of alternative and traditional medical care. With the new threat of mandatory vaccination laws, Dr. Bob's new mission is to insure that all families worldwide receive complete, objective, and un-doctored informed consent before they choose vaccination and that people everywhere retain the freedom to make healthcare decisions for themselves and their children.   Stay Connected with Dr. Bob: https://www.instagram.com/drbobsears/?hl=en  The desire to go off grid and have the ability to grow your own food has never been stronger than before.

In this episode of Art of Raising Humans, Kyle and Sara Wester sit down with Vivek Patel, founder of Non-Coercive Collaborative Parenting (NCCP) and creator of Meaningful Ideas. Vivek has spent more than 15 years teaching thousands of families how to create more harmony, communication, and connection in their homes. With over 500 parenting articles, 300 educational videos, and a deeply rooted philosophy centered on collaboration, he brings a powerful perspective to what parents can do when kids “don't listen.” Drawing on his martial arts background and decades of working with kids and parents, Vivek explains how to turn moments of resistance into opportunities for guidance and true cooperation. Together, they explore why kids push back, how traditional control-based approaches confuse fear for respect, and what it really looks like to guide children like the banks of a river rather than trying to stop their flow. Vivek shares his “test, treat, and tornado” framework for families transitioning away from control, offers tools for emotional regulation and pattern interruption, and challenges common beliefs about strength, consequences, and preparing kids for the real world. This conversation will help parents rethink respect, redefine strength, and lead with greater calm, connection, and confidence. To learn more from Vivek, follow him at @meaningfulideas on all platforms or explore his work at www.meaningfulideas.com.

In this episode, we welcome Rebecca John, an investigative climate reporter at the Climate Investigation Center [https://climateinvestigations.org/] and the news outlet DeSmog. She has uncovered a series of alarming revelations about the oil industry's manipulation of public perception and climate science. We delve into the historical context of the oil and gas lobby, exploring how entities like the Western States Petroleum Association (WSPA) have influenced research and public opinion since the 1950s. From the origins of the Air Pollution Foundation to the ongoing battle against climate change, Rebecca sheds light on the intricate web of misinformation and the urgent need for public action. Support the Podcast via PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=LBGXTRM292TFC&source=url Archival documents published by The Guardian and DeSmog show that the Air Pollution Foundation — the front group WSPA created as a means of delaying clean air regulation implementation aimed at curbing deadly smog emissions in Los Angeles and statewide — led to the discovery of climate change. WSPA was the top funder of the Air Pollution Foundation, whose research concluded that atmospheric carbon could “ultimately prove of considerable significance to civilization.” For an extended interview and other benefits, become an EcoJustice Radio patron at https://www.patreon.com/ecojusticeradio Resources: Revealed: Big Oil Told 70 Years Ago That Fossil Fuel Emissions Could Impact ‘Civilization' - DeSmog https://www.desmog.com/2024/11/12/revealed-big-oil-told-70-years-ago-that-fossil-fuel-emissions-could-impact-civilization/ Rebecca John is a Research Fellow at the Climate Investigations Center [https://climateinvestigations.org/who_we_are/].

Have you ever found yourself laying out a fleece like Gideon, hoping God will make the way clear? Brian Delamont returns to the podcast for a thoughtful conversation about how God speaks to us and how we can posture ourselves to listen. Judges 6 "The problem isn't with God, it's that we're not listening to what He has already told us, and we're asking Him the wrong questions because of that." Psalm 89:46-51 Prayer by Tim Keller Isaiah 30:21 "I think everyone longs for this – for God to just tell us." "My heart has to want to listen to God. There is a waiting posture. And then, my heart also has to have the courage to respond to what I hear, even if what I hear is not what I wanted to hear." Divine Direction by Craig Groeschel Luke 22:42 "One of the most powerful ways that God speaks to us is when we listen together." Acts 13:1-3 "Sometimes there are seasons where He is silent." "The challenge is not that we miss His direction or miss His voice or miss His guidance, but oftentimes the challenge is that I'm not ready for what He wants to say to me as the answer or as the challenge to that prayer or question." "God loves us too much to leave us the way that we are right now. He wants to change us to be more and more like Him." Psalm 23 "The desert has a purpose." "When I come to God, I come to the One who knows me better than anybody else." December Reflection: What am I genuinely anticipating when I engage in conversation with God? What's changing our lives: Keane: Taking little adventures and outings Heather:  Advent music with the Worship Initiative, praying for the unreached with The Name of Jesus devotional by David Platt, and burning a numbered candle Brian: Rewatching The Chosen TV series Weekly Spotlight: Ukarumpa International School We'd love to hear from you! podcast@teachbeyond.org Podcast Website: https://teachbeyond.org/podcast Learn about TeachBeyond: https://teachbeyond.org/

Send us a textA champion's story doesn't start at the finish line. Fresh off winning Ultraman Hawaii, Max Kniazev opens up about rebuilding from a collarbone ligament rupture, balancing newborn-dad life, and crafting a pragmatic plan to race smarter in heat and wind. We get into the mechanics of durability: how a naturally low heart rate at high power shapes his ultra identity, why shorter cranks opened his hip and cut drag, and how a custom 3D-printed cockpit with rear-aligned bottles shaved the little costs that add up over 515 kilometers.Max explains how he trained the gut to handle 120–135 grams of carbohydrates per hour using a starch-based mix (Vitargo), and why he practices fueling even in short swim sessions. He shares the exact salt and magnesium rhythm he used to skirt cramps, plus ice tactics that kept core temp in check when the island turned harsh. Day by day, he walks us through winning choices: holding back in the swim after lost shoulder strength, stacking steady watts on day one, solving a mid-ride electronic derailleur scare on day two en route to a stage record, and using simple marathon math on day three to let rivals come back without ever redlining.Max also lays out what's next. He wants a fair-play shot at the 515 world record on the same Ultraman Australia course, not just a fast loop, with an audacious long-term vision for sub-19 under ideal conditions. Between now and then, he's sharpening the sword in XTRI events and aiming for Norseman while keeping the “ultra mindset” front and center: choose long goals, stack stable steps, and let the mind lead the body. If you care about endurance strategy, bike aerodynamics, heat management, or the art of pacing 84 kilometers, this conversation is a masterclass built on lived miles and honest numbers.Max previously appeared on the podcast in (S1E4) and the Season 4 UMAZ race wrap up.Youtube movie “1 minute less” mentioned.This Instagram post has Max describing his bike.Resources mentioned in this episode:Ultraman HawaiiUltraCzech 515 (S5E5)Ultraman ArizonaSiberman 515UM Australia Double Ultra Triathlon EmsdettenVitargo NutritionFinding Ultra  by Rich RollNorseman Xtreme ChampionshipShout outs and mentions in this episode:Mia KniazevOlesia Kniazev Petr Vabrousek   (S2E2)Richard Thompson Shane Duffy (S4E5)Simon Cochrane  (S4E8)Javier Sola​​Tadej PogačarDave Matheson (S3E6)Bob Babbit S6E12Cameron WurfMike Coughlin (S2E7)Billy Rickards (S7E1)Steve King (S1E1)Sheryl Cobb (S2E6)Dave CobbTerumasu MatsudaUltra Chamba (S6E11)Support the showShow Contributors:Host : Larry RyanContributing Raconteur : Steve KingAnnouncer : Mary Jo DionneProduction : 5Five EnterprisesMusic : Run by 331 For show notes and past guests, please visit the Podcast Website: https://515theultrapodcast.buzzsprout.comFacebook: @515TheUltraPodcastInsta : @515theultrapodcastYoutube : @515TheUltraPodcastEmail : 515Ultraman@gmail.com

Send us a textIn this episode, Kay Suthar sits down with Victor Vento, Chief Messenger of Ventobot, to break down what ads are really for and why the best-performing ads don't feel like selling at all. Victor shares how ads are designed to create connection and experience, not pressure. He walks through how he fills rooms with the right people, why some ads fail miserably, and the wild story behind increasing a sale by 3,221% from a single $4 ad. This conversation reframes ads as a scaling tool that amplifies what you already have  not a magic fix for broken messaging.What to expect in this episode:(00:00) – Ads aren't about selling, they're about connection (04:10) – Why brands are more than expertise and skills (07:30) – What ads actually do (and what they don't) (11:45) – Why most ads fail (15:20) – How marketing relates to parenting (18:40) – The “weird” secret sauce behind ads that convert (22:10) – Scaling what already works with paid adsAbout Victor VentoVictor Vento is a conversational marketing expert and the Chief Messenger of Ventobot.

He is famous for his acutely lyrical and emotional poetry, as well as his turbulent personal life. The originality of his work makes categorization difficult. His works include the poems "Do not go gentle into that good night" and "And death shall have no dominion", as well as the "play for voices" Under Milk Wood. He also wrote stories and radio broadcasts such as the piece we share today, A Child's Christmas in Wales, as well as Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog. Charles Dickens (1812 – 1870) was an English novelist, journalist, short story writer and social critic.

We can't wait to experience miracles with you!   Welcome to a new episode of the Future Generations Podcast! In this conversation, Dr. Stanton Hom sits down with Jamie Lee, a trauma-forged, intuition-led mother who has become a leading voice in the Heavy Metal Detox Mom Movement. Jamie shares her powerful origin story and walks us through her daughter's early developmental delays, the intense pressure to vaccinate, the dismissive responses from pediatricians, and the moment she said "enough" and took healing into her own hands. Together, they unpack how children are programmed by media, pharma marketing, and the medical system, why speech delays, regressions, ADHD, eczema, and "autism" have been normalized but are not normal, Jamie's experience with heavy metal detox, fulvic, zeolite, and gut healing, and much more! If you're a parent questioning the narrative, feeling the intuitive nudge that "something's off," and wanting practical solutions, this episode will both challenge and empower you.   Highlights:   "These issues have been normalized. They are common, but they are not normal."   "No child should ever move backward in speech or development. A regression is not normal, mamas."    "I just knew I needed to do something now. I was done with this rigamarole with doctors."    "I want a future generation of kids who are unfuckwithable."    Timestamps: 00:00 - Introduction 04:05 – Growing Up in Darkness: Learning to Read Energy and Question Authority 07:58 – "Common but Not Normal": Delays, ADHD, and Regressions in Kids 10:26 – Pregnancy, Vaccine Pressure, and the First Crack in Trust 14:52 – Nonverbal at Two: Autism Threat, No Answers, and Walking Away 15:54 – Heavy Metal Detox Breakthrough: Five Days to Speech and Personality 19:00 – Why Today's Kids Are More Toxic Than Ever 32:29 – Zeolite, Fulvic, and Minerals: Jamie's Core Child Healing Protocol 40:17 – Jamie's Mission: Helping Mothers Heal Their Children at Home 53:22 – Non-Negotiables: Whole Foods, Sunlight, Grounding, and Intuition   Resources:   Remember to Rate, Review, and Subscribe on iTunes and Follow us on Spotify!   Learn more about Dr. Stanton Hom on:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drstantonhom  Website: https://futuregenerationssd.com/    Podcast Website: https://thefuturegen.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/drstantonhom  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stanhomdc  Stay Connected with the Future Generations Podcast:   Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/futuregenpodcast  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/futuregenpodcast/    Links:    https://www.thehivemethod.co/ https://www.instagram.com/thehivemethod.co   About Jamie Lee Jamie Lee is the creator of the Heavy Metal Detox Mom movement—a global awareness wave rooted in exposing the truth about developmental delays and hidden toxicity in children. Her social media presence exploded after sharing her daughter's healing journey, revealing how heavy metals, parasites, and environmental toxins silently disrupt neurological development. Through her viral educational content, Jamie empowers mothers to take their children's healing into their own hands with intuition, detox science, and natural solutions. Her work has reached millions and revolutionized the way families approach developmental delays, chronic symptoms, and "mystery" childhood conditions. Jamie is now one of the leading voices in root-cause healing, heavy metal detoxing, and telomere-based regenerative wellness.

In this episode, Kyle and Sara Wester explore one of the most common and misunderstood dynamics in modern parenting: the roles of the default parent and the non-default parent. They unpack why these roles form, what each partner often experiences, and how these patterns can create pressure, resentment, or feelings of invisibility. With compassion for both parents, Kyle and Sara explain how routines are built through trial and error, why they deserve respect, and how well-meaning attempts to help can sometimes cause tension. They offer practical steps to improve communication, clarify responsibilities, honor each parent's strengths, and build a more balanced partnership. This conversation gives parents the tools to navigate differences, value each other's contributions, and create a healthy, flexible family system where both parents feel capable, respected, and connected. View the full podcast transcript at: https://www.artofraisinghumans.com/the-default-parent-dynamic-how-to-share-the-load-feel-valued-and-parent-as-a-team Visit our website and social media channels for more valuable content for your parenting journey. Resource Website: https://www.artofraisinghumans.com Video Courses: https://art-of-raising-humans.newzenler.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/artofraisinghumans Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/artofraisinghumans Podcast Website: https://www.theartofraisinghumans.com Book List:https://www.artofraisinghumans.com/booklist  The Art of Raising Humans podcast should not be considered or used as counseling but for educational purposes only.

In this thought-provoking episode of "90 Miles from Needles, the Desert Protection Podcast," host Chris Clarke embarks on a journey to unpack the concept of desertification and its implications for environmental policy. Engaging listeners with tales of ecological history and colonial narratives, Chris explores the intersection of science, politics, and public perception in shaping how we view and treat deserts. Through an insightful discussion backed by the work of geographer Diana K. Davis, he urges a rethinking of what constitutes land degradation and calls for a more nuanced understanding that respects the intrinsic value of dry lands. Chris challenges the prevailing notion that desertification equates to ecological failure and provides a critical examination of how historical and colonial assumptions have influenced modern conservation efforts. He highlights the importance of recognizing deserts as dynamic ecosystems shaped by natural processes and human impact. This episode is an eye-opener for those interested in land use policy, environmental advocacy, and the intricate relationship between culture and ecology. Key Takeaways: Desertification Misconceptions: Reframing desertification as land degradation challenges the stereotype of deserts as barren wastelands. Historical Context: The colonial roots of desertification persist, influencing how we address ecological challenges today. Policy Implications: Misnaming ecological processes can lead to ineffective conservation measures and exacerbate environmental issues. Respect for Deserts: Deserts require a holistic approach that values their ecological role and indigenous knowledge. Call to Action: June 17 could be a day to reimagine our relationship with deserts, focusing on protection rather than remediation. Notable Quotes: "Deserts aren't mistakes. They're not broken landscapes. They're ancient living systems shaped by scarcity and timing and restraint." "When you misname the problem, you reach for the wrong tools. And sometimes... those tools make things worse." "Deserts need us to listen to people who've lived with aridity for generations." "The story matters because your choice of story determines the solutions that are available to you." "Land can be damaged in dry places, but deserts themselves are not damage." Resources: Diana K. Davis' Works: Heavily referenced throughout the episode, particularly her book "The Arid Lands." Book Recommendation: "All the Wild and Lonely Places" by Larry Hogue.

In this 200th episode, I focus on the real pain points retirees face and the importance of planning ahead. Drawing from years of conversations with clients and listeners, today's discussion highlights how assumptions about retirement often don't match reality, especially when it comes to taxes, lifestyle choices, and healthcare. Taxes remain one of the biggest surprises, as many retirees discover they're not in a lower bracket after all. Withdrawals from 401ks, IRAs, and pensions are taxed as ordinary income, and Social Security can also be partially taxable. At the same time, couples must navigate differing views on lifestyle and legacy, whether to enjoy their savings fully or prioritize leaving an inheritance, making estate planning documents and open conversations essential. Healthcare and cash management round out the episode's themes. Medicare rules change frequently, and waiting until the last minute can lead to costly mistakes, while keeping too much money in low‑interest accounts or idle cash can erode value against inflation. The takeaway is clear: thoughtful, proactive planning across taxes, legacy, healthcare, and investments is the key to building a secure and successful retirement. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... (00:00) Intro. (04:34) Cost of Relocating in Retirement. (12:57) Retirement Saving Loan Strategies. (16:16) Taxes in Retirement. (24:04) Market Expectations and Strategies. (24:04) Cash management. (29:35) Healthcare Planning After Retirement. Planning Ahead for Taxes in Retirement Retirement planning often surprises people when it comes to taxes. Many assume they'll be in a lower bracket once they stop working, but withdrawals from 401ks, IRAs, and pensions are taxed as ordinary income, and Social Security can also be partially taxable. That's why it's so important to build a tax‑efficient withdrawal strategy ahead of time, rather than relying on assumptions that may not hold true. Lifestyle and Legacy: Defining Your Retirement Goals  Another key theme is lifestyle and legacy. When planning for your retirement it is important to recognize what your goals are. Your goals drive your decisions for how you want to set up your retirement. Will you be relocating? Will you be giving away your money? Some retirees want to enjoy their savings fully, while others prioritize leaving an inheritance, even if it means sacrificing their own comfort. Couples often have different views on this, which makes open conversations and proper estate planning documents essential. Without wills, trusts, or powers of attorney, families can face costly probate battles and emotional strain, so addressing legacy goals early helps prevent conflict later. From Cash Reserves to Medicare: Proactive Steps for Peace of Mind Emergencies and healthcare planning is another area where retirees need to be proactive. It may be unreasonable to have large amounts of money in cash or low interest yielding accounts. Having a liquid emergency fund is essential but you may benefit from having your money growing for you. Additionally, Medicare rules change frequently, and waiting until the last minute can lead to expensive mistakes. The podcast highlights how comparing options, even for something as simple as prescriptions, can save thousands of dollars. Preparing ahead for coverage, understanding what's included, and exploring alternatives ensure retirees aren't blindsided by unexpected expenses and can maintain peace of mind in this new stage of life.

Jennifer Kolari on Strong-Willed Kids, Brain Science & Connected ParentingSummary: In this powerful episode of The Art of Raising Humans, Kyle and Sara Wester sit down with parenting expert Jennifer Kolari to talk about one of the most misunderstood and emotionally exhausting parenting challenges: raising a strong-willed child. Why does your child melt down over “small” things? Why does discipline feel like constant power struggles? And why does nothing seem to work the way the books promised? Jennifer explains what's really happening in your child's brain during emotional overwhelm and why strong-willed kids don't need more control; they need more connection, understanding, and emotional safety. She walks parents through how temperament, neurobiology, and unmet emotional needs drive behavior, and introduces her powerful CALM Technique to help families move from chaos to connection. This conversation also explores why compassion and firmness must coexist, how parents can regulate themselves first, and why repair after conflict builds deeper trust than getting it “right” ever could. About Jennifer Kolari:Jennifer Kolari is one of North America's leading parenting experts, a child and family therapist, author, and the founder of Connected Parenting. Her brain-based, empathy-driven approach helps parents raise resilient, emotionally healthy children using connection as the foundation of discipline. She is also the host of the Connected Parenting Podcast and a sought-after international speaker. If you're parenting a strong-willed, intense, or emotionally reactive child, this episode will feel like a lifeline.

What if everything you've been taught about sleep, parenting, and discipline isn't biologically normal, just culturally common? In this powerful episode of The Art of Raising Humans, Kyle and Sara Wester sit down with Tracy Gillett, founder of Raised Good, to explore what it really means to raise children through connection instead of control — from infancy through the teen years. Together, they unpack the truth about:• sleep as a developmental milestone (not something to train)• attachment and emotional safety across every stage of childhood• navigating parenting through difference seasons — babies, kids, and teens• authenticity as the foundation for connection• why closeness matters more than compliance• how to repair after rupture and rebuild trust• letting go of fear-based discipline in favor of relationship-based parenting Tracy shares her journey from veterinarian to global parenting advocate and explains why modern parenting advice often contradicts a child's biology and how tuning into your instincts can transform your experience as a parent. This episode is a gentle but powerful invitation to step off the parenting treadmill, release unrealistic expectations, and reconnect to what matters most: your relationship with your child. If you're questioning mainstream parenting practices…If sleep struggles are wearing you down…If the teen years feel confusing or overwhelming…If you're craving a more peaceful, grounded approach… This conversation will meet you there. View the full podcast transcript at: https://www.artofraisinghumans.com/tracy-gillett-rethinking-sleep-attachment-parenting-through-every-stage Visit our website and social media channels for more valuable content for your parenting journey. Resource Website: https://www.artofraisinghumans.com Video Courses: https://art-of-raising-humans.newzenler.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/artofraisinghumans Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/artofraisinghumans Podcast Website: https://www.theartofraisinghumans.com Book List:https://www.artofraisinghumans.com/booklist  The Art of Raising Humans podcast should not be considered or used as counseling but for educational purposes only.

Siquoyia Blue invites you into a candid, no-nonsense conversation about the people who only appear when it's convenient — friends who expect you to live life on their timetable, partners who treat presence like a resource, and the gentle, lonely joy of choosing a quiet night in over a life on demand. Through personal stories, sharp observations, and the hard-earned wisdom of someone who reads energy before sentences finish, this episode traces the moment you stop explaining yourself and start taking inventory: who truly shows up, who is seasonal, and who is simply an arrangement you never agreed to. Listen for practical truth-telling about setting boundaries, trusting your intuition, and honoring your version of living — whether that’s tea and a movie or a night out — because real connection isn’t conditional, and your empathy is your power, not your weakness.
