What does it look like to grow a pet sitting business without losing safety, consistency, or your sanity? Mikayla and Aaron Anders share how Adventures in Pet Sitting evolved from offering "everything" into a focused set of services built around what they love and what their community truly needs. We talk about building a team with a rigorous hiring and onboarding process, including certifications that prepare staff for real emergencies. They explain how boundaries, policies, and case-by-case flexibility protect both the business and client relationships over the long haul. The conversation closes with how networking in a rural market drives referrals and expands awareness—especially for specialty care like farm animals. Main topics: Safety-first hiring and training Refining services for focus Team consistency and handoffs Policies, boundaries, and fairness Rural referrals and networking Main takeaway: "Knowledge is what protects us." This is a standard that shapes how you hire, how you train, and how you operate when things go sideways. Safety isn't only about avoiding worst-case scenarios; it's about building a team that can make smart decisions without panic, even in weather events, lockouts, or unfamiliar animal behavior. The more your business grows, the more your systems have to carry the load—because the stakes get higher with every new client, pet, and employee. Training, clear procedures, and ongoing education aren't "extra," they're what create consistency. If you want a business that lasts, build the kind of knowledge that keeps everyone safe. About our guests: Mikayla Anders is the founder and "Head Adventure Leader" of Adventures in Pet Sitting, where she designs and oversees enriching, compassionate care for a wide range of animals. With a background in biology and hands-on experience across animal care environments, she's built a safety-first business known throughout her community. Aaron Anders supports the company through marketing and operations, bringing his experience in business, photography, and brand-building to the behind-the-scenes work. Together, they've grown a trained team, refined their services, and built strong local partnerships to better serve clients.

Seattle Democrats promised affordability and delivered the exact opposite—rents skyrocketing to $3,695 for a three-bedroom while housing permits hit their lowest level since 2011. Shocking, right? As usual, progressive policies like rent control caps, millionaire taxes, and a proposed payroll tax are doing what they always do: pushing out landlords, developers, and businesses while constricting housing supply. Meanwhile, the new socialist mayor gets to explain why her affordability platform is colliding with economic reality. We break down how Washington's anti-landlord policies, bureaucratic red tape, and tree-hugging regulations are sending rents to the moon while builders flee to business-friendly states like Oklahoma and Texas. With the World Cup coming and tech workers still moving in, there's only one direction these rents are headed—and it's not down.Think Seattle can regulate its way to affordable housing? How long until three-bedroom rents crack $4,000? Drop your predictions below, and if you're tired of watching progressive policies fail in real time, smash that subscribe button for more reality checks on government incompetence and socialist economics.

Why Treatment Fails If you've watched a family member struggle with addiction, you know how helpless it can feel. Treatment programs that don't work. Policies that seem disconnected from reality. Debates about legalization versus criminalization that never address what actually helps someone recover. Dr. Kevin Sabet has spent decades advising three presidential administrations on drug policy—watching decriminalization debates, marijuana legalization, and the opioid crisis unfold. He started asking a different question: What if we looked at what actually works? His book One Nation Under the Influence examines why current addiction policies are failing—and what Iceland, Portugal, and Hawaii figured out that we're missing. In This Episode You'll Learn: [01:00] Why marijuana is the most misunderstood drug in America [04:00] How today's marijuana is genetically bred to be far more potent [08:00] The critical difference between decriminalization, legalization, and commercialization [12:00] Why the promises of marijuana legalization haven't materialized [17:00] How addiction responds to incentives unlike any other brain condition [20:00] What "harm reduction" actually means—and why there's so much confusion [24:00] Why some addiction physicians recommend marijuana for opioid recovery—and what the research shows [30:00] What Iceland's prevention model actually did differently [33:00] How Portugal's system works—and why it's not legalization [35:00] Hawaii's HOPE program: why 2 days in jail changed behavior when years of probation didn't

Get the Midterm Rental Insurance Blueprint: https://experimentrealestate.com/#blueprintIn this deep-dive episode of In The Lab, Ruben welcomes back Brent Kesler — creator of The Money Multiplier Method and returning guest from Episode 138 (2021). Four years later, Brent returns with even more clarity, more proof, and more real-world examples of how infinite banking can transform the way entrepreneurs, investors, and families build wealth. Now holding over 30 policies personally, Brent breaks down exactly how he uses IBC to fund real estate, pay off debt, move money through private lending, and build generational wealth inside properly structured trusts. Brent not only does this himself but he's empowered thousands of entrepreneurs to use this vehicle including yours truly — Ruben Kanya. Brent explains why most people misunderstand whole life insurance, how wealthy families have used these strategies for over 200 years, and why “becoming your own banker” gives you control banks never will. He also unpacks the mechanics behind policy design, how to access capital tax-free, why death benefit matters less than cash value, and how to integrate IBC with real estate, business operations, and multi-policy ecosystems.Throughout the conversation, Ruben and Brent explore advanced strategies — from infinite wealth loops to family banking structures, premium flow sequencing, private lending arbitrage, and legacy planning. Brent also shares what's changed since 2021, why more sophisticated investors are now using IBC, and how anyone can start regardless of income level.Tune in now to learn how to take control of your capital, build a long-term wealth engine, and design a financial system that compounds for generations.HIGHLIGHTS OF THE EPISODE:19:08 Brent talks about how entrepreneurs stay broke by bleeding interest instead of building systems.53:03 Brent talk about using policy loans instead of withdrawingKEEPING IT REAL:06:44 – Infinite Banking 101 10:58 – How wealthy families use IBC15:36 – Brent's $984K debt payoff journey19:22 – Cash value explained clearly23:41 – Why whole life (not term or IUL)28:55 – Understanding policy design & funding34:47 – Borrowing against your policy40:12 – Real estate examples using IBC45:58 – Arbitrage, spreads & recycling dollars51:33 – How entrepreneurs misuse debt56:09 – Avoiding policy design mistakes1:02:44 – Using IBC inside partnerships1:08:15 – Trusts, legacy planning & structure1:14:50 – When not to use IBC1:20:18 – Brent's 2026 wealth playbook1:28:07 – Final advice for long-term thinkersCONNECT WITH THE GUESTWebsite: https://themoneymultiplier.com/brent-keslerLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thebrentkesler/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.money.multiplier/#InfiniteBanking #IBCStrategy #WealthBuilding #CashFlowBanking #RealEstateInvesting #EntrepreneurMindset #FinancialFreedom #MoneyMastery #WealthCreation #ExperimentNation

Valero just axed 237 good-paying jobs in California, and you can thank Gavin Newsom's war on affordable energy for that. The refinery is idling now, permanent closure coming soon, and Governor Newsom is out here spinning it like he's actually protecting consumers while gas prices climb to the highest in the nation. Meanwhile, the rest of America is paying under $2 a gallon while Californians—and Washington state residents—are stuck at $4.59 and climbing. Newsom claims California is "doing the actual work" and "collaborating with industry," but Valero literally said "we're done" and fired 237 out of 348 employees. Chevron left after 140 years, Phillips 66 is shutting down Wilmington, and now this. California is losing 22% of its domestic refining capacity, yet the governor's office insists this green energy virtue signaling is making the state more secure. What could possibly go wrong when you eliminate refineries while demand stays constant? How high will gas prices climb before Californians wake up?

Kanwal Rekhi first came to the US in the 1960s. He took his company public on Nasdaq in 1987. As a young Indian in the US, he was laid off from his first three jobs. That experience pushed him towards entrepreneurship. At the time, Indians were known and hired for technical and mathematical skills, not as founders building companies on US soil.But Kanwal and his co-founders decided to bet on themselves. They faced rejection from nearly 50 investors before one VC agreed to invest $2 million for 50% of the company. In just five years, the company went public.From being appointed CEO overnight to being removed by the board two months before the IPO for a more “wall street-acceptable” CEO, this is a story of many firsts.After Excelan, Kanwal co-founded TiE in 1992 and has mentored tens of thousands of entrepreneurs.

U.S. kids are more depressed, stressed, and anxious than ever. ADHD and autism diagnosis rates are steadily rising. What's going on? In this episode of Hyperfocus, journalist Jia Lynn Yang joins Rae to examine how major school policy shifts in the U.S. have changed what's expected of kids, often with unintended — and serious — consequences. Drawing from her New York Times reporting and her personal experience as a parent, Jia Lynn explores whether school itself may be contributing to the crisis — and what kids actually need to thrive.For more on this topic:Read: Jia Lynn's piece: America's children are unwell.

It is the ultimate betrayal of the American working class.

One year ago, Donald Trump was sworn into office for the second time.Experts agree that his first term was largely unpredictable. But his second term has been marked by an even greater sense of volatility, unprecedented action and seismic shifts in both domestic and foreign policy.We break down the major policies that defined the first year of Trump's second term. And, what we should expect heading into the midterms.Then, we sit down with organizer of San Diego's "Free America" Walkout, joining a national demonstration protesting Trump's policies.Guests:Casey Dominguez, professor of political science and international relations, University of San DiegoLisa Doell, organizer, "Free America" Walkout San Diego

Send us a textA few unfamiliar names, a 70-page indictment, and a flood of betting data set the stage for a candid look at how games get bent and why so many of us still want to believe the scoreboard tells the whole truth. I walk through the mechanics of a recent point-shaving scheme at mid-major and D2 programs, how sportsbooks and integrity services flagged coordinated prop bets, and why subpoenas, texts, and money trails make “nobody will know” a losing strategy. The result isn't moral panic; it's a sober case for uncertainty—and the reason I stopped wagering when hidden variables outnumbered knowns.Then we swing to a different arena where trust is contested in public view: immigration enforcement. ICE operations have surged, detention capacity has climbed, and the country is arguing through headlines, viral videos, and incomplete stats. I lay out the competing claims—historic enforcement gains versus due process concerns—and ask listeners to sit with the uncomfortable math of trade-offs. Policies promise order, but every big lever has an unintended cost, and communities feel it first.To ground it all, I return to the one place where the odds feel honest: the course. “Write about what you know” led me to golf, not because I'm a pro, but because four hours with a scorecard reveals who we are under pressure. From Hogan and Penick to Rotella and Parent, the mental game beats quick fixes, and the best shots arrive after quiet practice, not swing juice. I share a childhood dodgeball moment that rewired my idea of courage, plus four reasons we forget our own peaks—and how to lock them in for the next swing. If you can't control the whistle or the policy, you can still control your reps, your recall, and your response.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who bets too confidently, and leave a quick review with your biggest takeaway.

professorjrod@gmail.comIn this episode of Technology Tap: CompTIA Study Guide, we delve into the critical role of security governance in building secure organizations. Learn how governance frameworks—comprising policies, standards, procedures, and playbooks—transform strategic intent into consistent, auditable actions that both teams and auditors rely on. Whether you're preparing for your CompTIA exam or aiming to develop essential IT skills, understanding these governance principles is key to effective tech exam prep and technology education. Join us as we break down complex concepts in an easy-to-understand way, helping you succeed in your IT certification journey and beyond.We start with clear definitions that make exam questions and real-world decisions easier. Policies set high-level rules and expectations. Standards add measurable technical requirements like encryption strength and logging baselines. Procedures translate both into step-by-step action, and playbooks coordinate who does what, in what order, using which tools. Along the way, we compare external frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIST 800, PCI DSS, and FIPS with internal standards that tailor controls to your environment.Privacy law isn't a side quest; it shapes everything. We demystify GDPR, CCPA, FERPA, HIPAA, and COPPA, and clarify roles that exams love to test: the data owner who sets classification and usage, the data controller who defines purpose and lawful basis, the data processor who acts for the controller, and the data custodian who protects and maintains data without deciding how it's used. You'll learn practical cues to spot each role fast and avoid common pitfalls.Finally, we dig into change management as a risk control function. Its goal is to minimize risk while implementing changes, with impact analysis, approvals, testing, and rollback plans. Automation and orchestration can speed response and reduce error, but only when guided by policy and enforced by standards. Expect memorable exam tips, grounded examples, and a framework you can use right away on the job.If this helped sharpen your Security+ prep or your day-to-day practice, subscribe, share the show with a colleague, and leave a quick review.

California feels like a shoreline at dusk. Beautiful on the surface. Unsettled underneath. The tide keeps pulling back, exposing questions most people are told not to ask.In Episode 120 of ALLSMITH, Bryce sits down with Phil Mauriello Jr., attorney and host of California Underground, for a wide ranging conversation exploring power, policy, conspiracies, and the patterns shaping modern life.This is not a conversation about left versus right.It is a conversation about awareness versus autopilot.Together, Bryce and Phil explore California as a microcosm for the world. A state that often feels less governed and more tested. Policies roll out like experiments. Narratives change faster than outcomes. Citizens are left trying to reconcile intention with impact.Like standing inside a maze where every wall is painted with good intentions, this episode asks a simple but unsettling question.Are we being led, or are we being studied?From California politics to global power structures, this conversation moves through some of the most controversial topics of our time, not to provoke fear, but to sharpen discernment.⸻Topics Explored• The lingering unanswered questions surrounding 9/11.• The cultural flashpoint moments and assassination narratives surrounding Charlie Kirk.• The relationship between the United States and Israel, and how foreign policy shapes domestic life.• Antarctica, and why powerful nations are deeply interested in what lies beneath the ice.• Venezuela as a case study in government control, collapse, and currency manipulation.• The JFK files and what delayed truth reveals about institutions.• The COVID pandemic and how emergency powers reshape society long after the crisis fades.• Cloud seeding, weather modification, and where science ends and speculation begins.• George Soros and Bill Gates as symbols of influence, philanthropy, and fear.• The Epstein files and the erosion of public trust in accountability.• The Diddy trials and the intersection of celebrity, power, silence, and leverage.⸻Episode Time Stamps• 00:00 Opening reflections and why this conversation matters now.• 06:12 California as a political testing ground.• 14:45 Power, incentives, and narrative control.• 24:30 9/11, JFK files, and delayed truth.• 35:10 COVID, emergency powers, and long term consequences.• 46:20 Global influence, Israel, Venezuela, and Antarctica.• 58:40 Epstein, celebrity power, and institutional silence.• 01:10:15 Mindset, discernment, and personal responsibility.• 01:22:00 Final reflections on truth seeking and sovereignty.⸻Join the ALLSMITH CommunityIf this episode resonates, you are already part of the conversation.ALLSMITH is not about certainty.It is about pursuit.Pursuit of clarity.

Episode 5065: Using Local Sheriffs To Save The States; Trump Policies Spearhead Economic Growth

When James Smith first heard about mirror bacteria, he was sceptical. But within two weeks, he'd dropped everything to work on it full time, considering it the worst biothreat that he'd seen described. What convinced him?Mirror bacteria would be constructed entirely from molecules that are the mirror images of their naturally occurring counterparts. This seemingly trivial difference creates a fundamental break in the tree of life. For billions of years, the mechanisms underlying immune systems and keeping natural populations of microorganisms in check have evolved to recognise threats by their molecular shape — like a hand fitting into a matching glove.Learn more, video, and full transcript: https://80k.info/js26Mirror bacteria would upend that assumption, creating two enormous problems:Many critical immune pathways would likely fail to activate, creating risks of fatal infection across many species.Mirror bacteria could have substantial resistance to natural predators: for example, they would be essentially immune to the viruses that currently keep bacteria populations in check. That could help them spread and become irreversibly entrenched across diverse ecosystems.Unlike ordinary pathogens, which are typically species-specific, mirror bacteria's reversed molecular structure means they could potentially infect humans, livestock, wildlife, and plants simultaneously. The same fundamental problem — reversed molecular structure breaking immune recognition — could affect most immune systems across the tree of life. People, animals, and plants could be infected from any contaminated soil, dust, or species.The discovery of these risks came as a surprise. The December 2024 Science paper that brought international attention to mirror life was coauthored by 38 leading scientists, including two Nobel Prize winners and several who had previously wanted to create mirror organisms.James is now the director of the Mirror Biology Dialogues Fund, which supports conversations among scientists and other experts about how these risks might be addressed. Scientists tracking the field think that mirror bacteria might be feasible in 10–30 years, or possibly sooner. But scientists have already created substantial components of the cellular machinery needed for mirror life. We can regulate precursor technologies to mirror life before they become technically feasible — but only if we act before the research crosses critical thresholds. Once certain capabilities exist, we can't undo that knowledge.Addressing these risks could actually be very tractable: unlike other technologies where massive potential benefits accompany catastrophic risks, mirror life appears to offer minimal advantages beyond academic interest.Nonetheless, James notes that fewer than 10 people currently work full-time on mirror life risks and governance. This is an extraordinary opportunity for researchers in biosecurity, synthetic biology, immunology, policy, and many other fields to help solve an entirely preventable catastrophe — James even believes the issue is on par with AI safety as a priority for some people, depending on their skill set.The Mirror Biology Dialogues Fund is hiring!Deputy director: https://80k.info/mbdfddOperations lead: https://80k.info/mbdfopsExpression of interest for other roles: https://80k.info/mbdfeoiThis episode was recorded on November 5-6, 2025.Chapters:Cold open (00:00:00)Who's James Smith?

President Trump delivered a message about reviving the American automobile industry today in Detroit called Make Driving Great Again. Domestic manufacturing is up as new vehicles are the highest they've been since 2019 as new investments in domestic automobiles come pouring in. Brent Buchanan is here to share the latest from Cygnal polling. Brent's newest book America's Emotional Divide: Navigating the Powerful Decision-Making Forces Impacting Politics, Policies & Personal Choices has identified a voter class that is outside of party lines. The young ticked-off diverse working class is a voting segment that has has the American dream stolen from them. In a country that has become unaffordable in most categories they want a fighter, some that is in their corner everyday. They know the system sucks and they want to burn it all down. This same group can just as easily vote for President Trump and newly elected NYC mayor Zohran Mamdani. As President Trump takes home run swings at broad sweeping issues, inflation and the economy is still the number one issue among those polled. Healthcare and government waste are major issues for voters and it all comes down to affordability. Interestingly enough, Cyngals polling revealed that Americans can't even agree on facts, so many different news sources with so many biased opinions have created differing opinions. Brent is here to break it all down and more.

We welcome author Shane Almgren (The Trumpland Diary) to unpack a week that feels like it fell out of a dystopian novel: militarized police in Minnesota, deranged propaganda around the Renee Good shooting, a quiet Five-Alarm Fire at the White House involving Big Oil, a sitting U.S. Senator suing the Secretary of Defense, and a full-scale political revolt inside the GOP over Trump's criminal probe into Fed Chair Jerome Powell.These five stories, taken together, tell us something essential about the moment we're in, and also about the growing wave of resistance and pushback that may represent a  bright spot ahead.Referenced articles from today's stream: This Is Actually Happening → https://worthknowing.substack.com/p/this-is-actually-happening Does the Trump Crowd Actually Get Off On This? → https://worthknowing.substack.com/p/does-the-trump-crowd-actually-get A Five-Alarm Fire at the White House → https://worthknowing.substack.com/p/a-five-alarm-fire-at-the-white-house The Trumpland Diary → https://trumplanddiary.substack.com/00:00 Introduction and Today's Agenda01:58 Emerging Police State in Minnesota04:59 Sadistic Lies and Psychological Research07:43 Trump's Cognitive Decline and Public Reactions10:34 Resistance and Pushback Against Trump19:54 Trump's Cruelty and Sociopathic Tendencies30:01 Untrained Officers and Trump's Responsibility30:52 RFK Jr.'s Senate Confirmation and Vaccine Stance31:46 Trump's Greenland Obsession and Geographic Misunderstandings33:41 European Allies and Military Presence in Greenland34:46 Trump's Unhinged Military Speech and Illegal Orders37:27 The Impact of Trump's Policies on Science and Foreign Aid44:00 Technocracy and the Influence of Tech Billionaires52:44 The Future of Trump's Administration and Competing Agendas56:18 Conclusion and Final Thoughts

The Other Side of the Story with Tom Harris and Todd Royal – Dr. Hickey shows that, if you apply ECCC's trend analysis method to their data, you find an increase of 1.74° C from 1948 to 2018. And then, he tells us, if you correct for the one-degree step increase in 1998, you find only a 0.29°C rise. That small change “is indistinguishable from zero,” explains Hickey. “There is no evidence of warming.”

Guest: Professor Evan Ellis. Events in Caracas are shaping upcoming elections in Brazil and Colombia, pushing leaders like Lula toward moderation to appease centrist voters. In Colombia, frustration with President Petro's policies and security failures may favor right-wing candidates. Meanwhile, Peru's election focuses on public insecurity and deep Chinese investment.
