Sierra Madre is under evacuation warnings as a dam sits directly above neighborhoods, raising serious concerns with the incoming storm. Los Angeles officials held press conferences outlining the potential dangers and the preparations underway. Evacuation orders in the Pacific Palisades will move 126 residents out between tonight and Sunday morning. Power outages are already hitting Reseda, Brentwood, and Bel-Air as the weather system strengthens. And in a lighter moment — the cleanest country in the world is Japan, thanks to a culture of respect that keeps their streets spotless. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

American Kompromat unravels the Russian-influenced operations that amassed the dirty little secrets of the richest and most powerful men on earth.  American Kompromat is based on extended and exclusive interviews with high-level sources in the KGB, CIA, and FBI, as well as lawyers at white-shoe Washington firms, associates of Jeffrey Epstein, and thousands of pages of FBI reports, police investigations, and news articles in English, Russian, and Ukrainian. A narrative offering jaw-dropping context, and set in Upper East Side mansions and private Caribbean islands, gigantic yachts, and private jets, American Kompromat shows that, from Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein, Russian operations transformed the darkest secrets of the most powerful people in the world into potent weapons that served its interests.  Among its many revelations, American Kompromat addresses what may be the single most important unanswered question of the entire Trump era ― and one that Unger argues is even more important now that Trump is out of office: Was Donald Trump a Russian asset? Just how compromised was he? And how could such an audacious feat have been accomplished? To answer these questions and more, Craig Unger reports, is to understand kompromat ― operations that amassed compromising information on the richest and most powerful men on earth, and that leveraged power by appealing to what is, for some, the most prized possession of all: their vanity.  This is a story that transcends the end of the Trump administration, illuminating a major underreported aspect of Trump's corruption that has profoundly damaged American democracy.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

It’s heartbreaking. Cruising for a Cause This Sunday, Nov. 16, the Sinnerz Society car club is doing more than flexing their rides—they’re delivering food, warm clothes, and supplies to the homeless. Founder Rafael Diaz says, “It won’t last long, but it’s something.” The group meets at 12:30 p.m. at the BP on Pleasant Hill Road in Duluth. Got a car? Great. Don’t? Doesn’t matter—just join.

A woman married 10 years whose husband won't explore sexually at all—why "I want to try new things" might sound like "what we're doing isn't good enough" to a partner raised in a conservative home. What "deepthroating" really represents when your partner grew up being told sex was wrong—and the outside-the-bedroom conversation they need to have before anything changes in bed. A woman terrified about her first date after a breakup because she thinks the sex will be "unwilling"—the breathwork practice that gets you out of your anxious mind and into your confident body. Why a first date is just a "warm-up" to see if you're having fun, not an audition for marriage—and how to tell if someone's worth seeing naked just by watching how they treat wait staff. The reframe that takes all the pressure off dating: ditch the checklist, get present in your body, and remember you're the gatekeeper with all the power.

#660: Caring for an aging parent can morph into a second full-time job, and even the most financially savvy adults get blindsided. Bank accounts freeze, home sales stall, and family savings disappear faster than anyone expects. In this episode, we dig into what really happens when you take over a parent's financial life, from the first power of attorney to the final tax return. We explore the emotional and logistical realities of dementia care, Medicaid, trusts, probate, and why a single smartphone setting can determine whether you can access the information you need. Veteran financial journalist and certified financial planner Beth Pinsker joins us to share the hard lessons she learned while managing her parents' money, housing, and estate. She opens up about the “you don't know what you don't know” moments that hit even experts. We look at why almost every caregiver reaches a breaking point, the two documents that can save a year of stress and tens of thousands of dollars, how a forgotten zero-balance home equity line nearly torpedoed a real estate deal, and why phone access now belongs at the center of estate planning. We also confront the brutal math of long-term dementia care, the real differences between Medicare and Medicaid, how to evaluate facilities beyond brochures, and what happens when a parent dies without updated paperwork. Through it all, we focus on how clear conversations about wishes and values can reduce guilt and burnout for the people left steering the ship. Key Takeaways Financial caregiving comes for almost everyone eventually, and even experts hit roadblocks, so the goal is not perfection but reducing avoidable chaos. Power of attorney and healthcare proxy documents are foundational, often more urgent than a will, and they need to be current, state-appropriate, and shared with the people who may need to use them. A locked smartphone without a legacy contact can become a financial brick, cutting caregivers off from essential clues about accounts, subscriptions, and bills. Long-term dementia care can run five to six figures per year, outlasting even solid nest eggs, so families need to confront the realities of Medicaid and state-specific safety nets before the money runs out. How assets are titled, from bank accounts to real estate, determines whether heirs inherit smoothly through a trust or spend years and thousands of dollars navigating probate. The most important “plan” is knowing a loved one's wishes for quality of life and end-of-life care, so financial and medical decisions feel like honoring them instead of guessing in the dark. Key moments (0:00) Why financial caregiving blindsides even the experts (05:18) The hidden home equity line that almost killed a real estate deal (10:54) Two documents every adult in your life should have (14:29) The critical phone setting that protects access to accounts and memories (21:23) What Prince's estate taught us about wills and inertia (31:39) Planning for a decade of dementia care without going broke (35:16) How Medicaid really works and why “running out of money” is a process (38:46) The menu of care options from in-home help to CCRCs and nursing homes (44:31) The “smell test” for evaluating facilities in the real world (51:06) What to do in the first weeks after a parent dies (54:38) Trusts, titles, probate, and how one frozen account cost $5,000 to unlock (01:01:04) Knowing their wishes so money decisions feel like honoring, not guessing Resources and Links Beth Pinsker's website: bethpinsker.com Beth's retirement and financial planning columns at MarketWatch Beth's book, My Mother's Money, on financial caregiving and planning for aging parents and loved ones Learn more about your ad choices.

For the past seven years, Ajax Trueblood has served as an Elders Quorum Service Coordinator in two different wards in Utah—and he calls it the best calling in the Church. Through that experience, he's learned that consistent, inspired service doesn't just bless those being helped—it transforms the hearts and unity of those who serve. Links Watch the video and share your thoughts in the Zion Lab community Elders Quorum Service Coordinator Movers & Shakers Squad Soup Patrol in Elders Quorum Transcript available with the video in the Zion Lab community Highlights Ajax shares his experience magnifying the often-overlooked calling of the elders quorum service coordinator. He talks about shifting the culture of an elders quorum to be proactively service-oriented, fostering spiritual growth, and extending Christlike care to members and the community beyond the traditional tasks of moving furniture. Ajax emphasizes that selfless service is a central, scriptural tenet of the gospel that should guide the quorum's efforts. Key Insights Service is Core Discipleship: The service coordinator role, while briefly mentioned in the Church handbook (8.5.3), is viewed by Ajax as foundational to the gospel, emphasizing the principles of bearing one another's burdens and charity. The "Movers and Shakers Squad" (M&S): Ajax organizes volunteers into the M&S list, which is mobilized quickly via text messaging for physical labor, focusing on positive responses only to keep communication clean. Physical projects are handled by small, efficient teams with a designated on-site team leader to improve safety and effectiveness. The Power of "Soup Patrol": This initiative is a non-physical service designed to provide emotional connection and support. It involves quickly delivering small tokens, such as homemade soup, bread, or cookies, to those who are sick or struggling, emphasizing presence and care over the physical item. Coordination Over Execution: A key principle is that the coordinator's primary focus should be on coordination—getting the right people the opportunity to serve—rather than defaulting to execution and doing all the work themselves. This builds linkages and involves more people. Beyond Ward Boundaries: The quorum's service extends beyond active members and ward boundaries to help anyone in the community, including those needing yard work, cleanup, or help moving, using these opportunities as a bridge for fellowship and missionary work. Synergy with Ministering: Service efforts must support the ministering program. Ajax proactively contacts assigned ministering brothers to give them the opportunity to be involved first, ensuring the service coordinator system reinforces the core assignment rather than displacing it. Leadership Applications Recruit Based on Willingness: Leaders should identify and recruit members who are genuinely willing and able to serve, creating a volunteer-driven service system rather than assigning reluctant members to tasks. Offer Diverse Service Opportunities: By implementing low-physical-demand options like the "Soup Patrol," leaders can engage members (like the elderly or young fathers) who may be maxed out or resistant to physically demanding assignments like moving, providing a place for everyone to serve. Be Proactive, Not Passive: Service coordinators should adopt a proactive approach, constantly keeping their "feelers out" by asking members for needs and looking for opportunities rather than waiting for formal requests to come down through the bishopric or ward council. 04:00 - Introduction to the Elders Quorum Service Coordinator Role 06:00 - The Service Coordinator Calling is Foundational to the Gospel 07:10 - Handbook Reference and Magnifying the Calling 08:05 - Organizing Service in a Rapidly Growing Ward (Vineyard) 08:50 - The Key to Success: Asking for Volunteers 11:00 - Service in an Older Ward (St. George) and Moving Beyond Moves

In this bonus episode, Professor Nicholas Giordano joins The American Radicals Podcast hosted by FBI whistleblower Steve Friend for a powerful conversation on the rise of bureaucratic power in America. Professor Giordano breaks down how federal agencies have expanded far beyond their constitutional limits, how Congress routinely fails to provide real oversight, and how the deep state uses vague laws and political theater to protect itself. The discussion exposes the consequences of unchecked federal law enforcement, the dangers of labeling ordinary citizens as threats, and the urgent need to reform the system with real accountability, transparency, and the power of the purse. Episode Highlights How federal agencies grew into an unaccountable power center that the founding fathers warned us about. Why Congress refuses to challenge abusive agencies and how the Patriot Act opened the door to mass surveillance. What real reform looks like, including sunsetting agencies, limiting authority, and ending qualified immunity for federal agents.  

The longest government shutdown in American history is finally over, but a new political fight may be just beginning.

Plus, the questions surrounding the latest in the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. After more than 230 years, the U.S. Mint has officially ended penny production, as the cost to make them has surpassed their value and relevance. Philip Diehl, former U.S. Mint Director and President of U.S. Money Reserve, joins to discuss the impact of the penny's phase-out on retailers and consumers and the future of coins like the nickel. Plus, the rise of cashless payments, and concerns about cryptocurrency's volatility for everyday transactions.

Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening, investors! Scott Carson here, and boy, do we have a treat for you! Ever wanted to tackle Texas creative financing—think subject-to, wrap-around mortgages, and assumptions—without, shall we say, foul-ups? Good, because I've brought on the man, the myth, the legend himself: T Alan Ceshker from the Ceshker Law Firm! With over 30 years in the game and a proud 5th-generation Austinite, Alan is the go-to guy for navigating the Lone Star State's unique legal landscape. He's helped thousands of investors get these specialized transactions right, so you don't end up with an "Amityville Horror" on your hands. If you're eyeing those sweet, low-interest mortgages and distressed borrowers, this episode is your official "Don't Screw It Up" guide!In this episode, you'll learn:Demystifying Texas Creative Financing (Alan's Way!): Alan cuts through the jargon, explaining why he calls everything a "wrap" (even assumptions and sub-to deals!) from a legal standpoint, and why "sub-to" is a term he strategically avoids. Learn the core concept: it's "just seller financing" where the existing mortgage stays, and the seller dons a new "lender" hat.Bulletproof Contracting for Texas Wraps & Assumptions: Discover Alan's ingenious "math word problem" solution for drafting contracts that account for fluctuating payoff amounts in assumptions, bypassing Paragraph 3 headaches. For wraps, it's as simple as standard seller finance! Plus, get the crucial "disclose, disclose, disclose" mantra to avoid those pesky investor amnesia cases years down the road.Taming the Due-on-Sale Beast with Trusts: Unpack the infamous due-on-sale clause—what it means, why lenders usually don't call it (but sometimes do!), and how Alan's proprietary "due on sale trust" structure leverages the Garn-St. Germain Act for protection. You'll hear about specific lenders (looking at you, Home Loan Servicing!) that raise flags and why downloading generic trust forms is a bad idea.Non-Negotiable Insurance & Legal Compliance: This is HUGE. Alan reveals the #1 reason wraps fail: incorrect insurance. Learn the exact structure (seller as additional insured, not just interest; lender as mortgagee clause) and why you must use a proven provider. Plus, understand the critical legal compliance points for Texas: RMLO requirements, the 5.016 disclosure, and the "no balloons, no ARMs" rule for baseline compliance.Pro-Tips for a Smooth Ride (and Avoiding Foreclosure): Get actionable advice for managing your deals: conference calls with sellers for lender contact, the strategic use of Power of Attorney for checks, and Alan's "6% down" rule of thumb to mitigate default risk. He also stresses the importance of continuous communication with all parties to ensure smooth sailing and happy campers.This episode with Alan Ceshker is an absolute masterclass in navigating the legal and operational intricacies of Texas creative financing. He's not just talking theory; he's giving you the battle-tested strategies to build a robust portfolio and avoid painful (and costly) mistakes. So, stop drawing deals on napkins, reach out to Alan's team, and get ready to close some rock-solid transactions!

In this episode, I dive into the practical ways service members and veterans can prepare for — and thrive through — a government shutdown. I share my own experiences as an enlisted Marine and financial specialist to help others avoid financial stress during uncertain times.

In this episode, CEO coach Gene Hammett explores what it truly means to Be Intentional as a Leader, encouraging listeners to examine their leadership style and uncover the barriers limiting their growth. Drawing from his recent keynote at the Association of Animal Welfare Advancement, he introduces a clear two-part framework for elevating leadership, recognizing current hindrances, and defining the aspirational traits that drive stronger performance. Gene emphasizes the power of proactive, self-aware leadership in building engaged, high-performing teams and shares practical tools and resources to support deeper self-discovery and more effective, intentional leadership. Episode Highlights & Time Stamps 2:04 The Importance of Self-Reflection 5:44 Defining Your Leadership Identity 6:59 Evolving as a Leader 8:17 The Power of Intentionality 9:40 Strategies for Effective Leadership Identify who you're being that limits your leadership. Most leaders fall into the same cycle: open the laptop, answer emails, run spreadsheets, jump into meetings, put out fires… and repeat. I've been there, and maybe you're stuck in that same loop, working hard, but not necessarily leading intentionally. So pause for a moment and ask yourself: What would it take for me to be a better leader? And even more importantly, why do I want to be a better leader? Is your team performing below its potential? Do decisions keep landing back on your plate? Are you feeling overwhelmed or burned out? If so, this episode is for you. Recently, I spoke at the Association of Animal Welfare Advancement here in Atlanta. Their leaders were deeply committed to growing, and during that keynote, I shared one core idea: the power of intention in leadership. Here's a portion of that talk: "When you want to be a great leader, it doesn't happen by accident; it requires intention. You need the ability to shift with what's in front of you. Defining the leader you want to become may seem trivial or unnecessary, but it is foundational. Who are you being that gets in the way of being a better leader? And who do you want to become in the next level of yourself? You must be honest with yourself and claim the leader you're becoming." Are you scattered? Distracted? Overwhelmed? Too nice? Too empathetic? Too direct? These traits may not seem harmful, but when they're dialed too high, they create friction. Write them down on a 3×5 or 4×6 card, make it honest, uncomfortable, and real. This clarity helps you move away from what no longer serves your leadership. Define who you want to become. One of my clients captured this beautifully: Be decisive. Be focused. Be confident. Each week during our coaching sessions, we review how these traits showed up. This repetition creates accountability and reinforces their development. This is the work of intentional leadership, continuously evolving and expanding your capacity. Whether you're a CEO, founder, or senior leader, complacency kills performance. Growth requires reinvention. If you're new here, I'm Gene Hammett, CEO, coach, founder, and leadership development expert. We help executives and leadership teams create environments where people perform at their best, take ownership, and feel aligned with the mission. If you want to explore these ideas further without committing to a call, join my free training at training.corelevation.com. In about 90 minutes, we cover core principles, common mistakes, and the five steps to becoming a stronger, more intentional leader. To close today's episode, remember this: Being intentional is a superpower. Reactive leadership limits performance. A simple example comes from sales: smile before you dial. People can sense your energy even without seeing you. That's the intention at work. Imagine showing up 90–95% of the time as the leader you want to be decisive, focused, confident… or whatever traits matter most to you. One of my favorite examples from a client is the phrase: unshakably confident. Picture that being you. It's possible if you choose to lead with intention. If I can support you in any way, keep following our content, keep stepping up, and remember: when you think of growth and leadership, think of Growth Think Tank. Key Takeaways Great leadership never happens by accident it requires intention. Break the reactive work cycle by pausing to reflect on why you want to grow. Part 1: Define who you're being today that limits your leadership. Part 2: Define the leader you want to become (e.g., decisive, focused, confident). Writing your leadership identity on a simple card creates clarity and accountability. Intentionality is a leadership superpower that elevates performance and reduces overwhelm. "Smile before you dial" is a simple example of how intention shapes outcomes. Ideal For: Founders, CEOs, executives, managers, and anyone committed to elevating their leadership capacity.

  In this episode of the Modern Man Podcast, host Ted Phaeton engages in a deep conversation with Andrew Wittman, a Marine Corps veteran and resilience expert. They explore the importance of personal identity, the significance of keeping one's word, and the cultivation of resilience as a physical skill. Wittman shares insights on leadership, the mistakes leaders make in crises, and the eight cylinders of life that contribute to overall well-being. The discussion highlights the importance of intentionality in personal development and the significance of self-assessment in achieving balance and fulfillment.   Takeaways High-performing men often struggle with balancing success and fulfillment. An identity statement can guide personal behavior and decisions. Resilience can be developed through intentional practice and the formation of healthy habits. Pressure reveals weaknesses and areas needing improvement. Leadership is crucial in times of crisis; weak leadership is exposed. Self-assessment of life cylinders can lead to better balance. Source material is essential for informed decision-making. Mind candy distracts from deeper understanding and growth. Taking a step back can help regain focus and resilience. Investing in personal growth can yield significant returns.   Chapters 00:00 – 70% of adults lack self-acceptance (Teaser) 00:32 – Introduction to the Modern Man Podcast 01:46 – Identity and Personal Excellence 06:58 – The Importance of Self-Acceptance 08:51 – Building Resilience Through Training 13:06 – Intentional Living and Resilience Training 15:44 – Tactical Emotional Armor 19:07 – Practical Applications of Resilience Training 21:45 – The Journey of Self-Discovery 22:59 – Leadership in Crisis 25:05 – The Importance of Balance 27:53 – Understanding Financial Literacy 29:56 – The Eight Cylinders of Life 31:45 – Cultural Influence and Leadership 35:32 – Regaining Resilience 38:36 – The Power of Beliefs   Wittman’s Links Website: GetWarriorTough.com LinkedIn: Andrew D.

If you clean pools for a living, the vacuum system you choose can either speed up your route or slow you down at every backyard gate. We break down cart-based workhorses like Riptide and Hammerhead and match them against cartless contenders including the Bottom Feeder, Shrimp, Power Vac's relaunch, Riptide XP, and the Hammerhead Remora. You'll hear clear pros and cons on power, maneuverability, durability, price, and real access issues—stairs, narrow side yards, and HOA choke points that make or break your day.We start with first principles: how a cart changes your workflow, the real benefits of carrying chemicals and accessories in one trip, and the headaches of transport racks, tailgate access, and rear visibility. Then we get practical about mounting: class III receivers, T-bar configurations, swing-away solutions, and anti-wobble plates that keep your setup solid. From there, we shift to non-cart freedom—why a 12-pound Bottom Feeder with no cords can outpace heavier systems on most routes, and when the compact Shrimp becomes a durable replacement for disposable plastic spot vacs.Power and handling decide the winners. Riptide often tops raw pull for storm debris, Hammerhead glides better on vinyl and feels lighter in the water, Power Vac stays nimble on steps and spas, and the Bottom Feeder proves that enough power plus zero friction can beat brute force on normal weeks. We also cover bag strategy: use lower micron bags for dust and silt, swap to higher micron bags to move leaves fast without clogging. Our best advice for pros: consider a two-system strategy—run a cart setup for heavy lifts and keep a compact vacuum for tight access and quick hits.Want more route speed, fewer trips to the truck, and cleaner pools in less time? Press play, then tell us your toughest backyard or debris scenario. If you found this helpful, follow the show, share it with a fellow pool pro, and leave a review to help others find it.We compare vacuum systems with and without carts to help you choose the right setup for your route, debris loads, and backyardSend us a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

    The first chapter of my new book, The Power of Employee Well-Being is titled Know Thyself—and for good reason.

Join this episode of Right On Radio for a fast-paced mix of news clips, scripture, and commentary. The show opens with the listener game Word on Word (1 Peter 3:18 vs. Isaiah 25:1) and quickly moves into a series of thought-provoking audio segments and host reflections. Topics and guests include a featured Greg Reese report arguing that COVID lockdowns served as a beta test for digital ID deployment — exploring biometrics, QR codes, Clearview AI, DMV photo resale, and how private-sector mandates and consent prompts normalize mass data collection. The host expands on that theme with his own concerns about border controls, facial-recognition cameras, cloud storage, and the erosion of individual freedom. The episode also plays a clip of Donald Trump outlining a proposal to redirect insurance subsidies directly to people and debates whether that move ended the shutdown — with analysis of insurance incentives, marketplace responses, and political maneuvering. A short excerpt from Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney (referenced commentary) frames the current geopolitical shift as a “hinge moment” comparable to the fall of the Berlin Wall. Religion and culture are front and center: short, provocative clips question the origins and institutionalization of the church, argue that denominations can become instruments of control, and raise concerns about infiltration and abuse in some large church networks. The host responds to recent controversies — including Kash Patel's media appearances, Candace Owens' reporting on Calvary churches, past Epstein coverage, and whistleblower claims tied to missionary work — and urges listeners to scrutinize ministries and giving. Balancing the heavier material are human-interest moments and spiritual encouragement: a moving twin-baby allegory about life after delivery, an invitation to Saturday night prayer and Sunday Bible study, and practical resources from rightonyou.com (including a short course on decoding cultural and spiritual influences). The show closes with a comedic Adam Carolla clip renaming ICE to “NICE” and a final call to love God, family, and neighbor. Expect a provocative, opinionated hour that blends political analysis, privacy warnings, spiritual critique, and pastoral encouragement — clips from Greg Reese, Donald Trump, Adam Carolla, and references to commentators such as Kash Patel and Candace Owens — plus calls to prayer, Bible study, and ways to learn more.

In this episode, I break down one of the simplest but most transformative concepts in personal development: The Power of Yet. Inspired by Dr. Carol Dweck's research on growth mindset, “yet” is the tiny word that shifts you from feeling stuck to seeing possibility. Whether you're struggling with money, burnout, confidence, career direction, or new skills, adding “yet” rewires your brain to believe you're capable of change- because you are. You're not good at budgeting... yet. You don't feel confident at work... yet. You're not financially independent... yet. You don't have work–life boundaries... yet. Not “no.” Not “never.” Just not yet. This episode gives practical examples, stories, and tools to help you adopt the “yet” mindset so you can grow in any area of your life. What is covered in this episode: • What the “Power of Yet” actually means A simple mindset shift backed by decades of psychology and neuroscience. • A quick overview of Dr. Carol Dweck's research How growth mindset vs. fixed mindset impacts confidence, learning, resilience, and even burnout. • How “yet” reframes failure Turning mistakes into information, not identity. • Real-life examples of “yet” in action Money, relationships, boundaries, investing, career development, and personal habits. • Why 'yet' is crucial for financial independence If you don't believe you can learn to budget, invest, or build wealth… you won't. • The neuroscience behind “yet” Why this tiny word activates motivation pathways instead of threat pathways in the brain. • How the Power of Yet protects against burnout When you see yourself as someone who can grow, setbacks feel temporary- not personal. • Easy ways to integrate the “yet” mindset into daily life Microhabits, affirmations, self-reflection prompts, and language shifts. By the end of this episode, you will learn: How to spot fixed-mindset thoughts How to rewrite them using “yet” statements How to create microhabits that support growth How to build confidence through incremental wins How “yet” can change the trajectory of your financial life How to use this mindset shift to reduce burnout and self-doubt How to apply “yet” in relationships, career, money, and personal goals Resources Mentioned: Wealthfront HYSA referral link: https://www.wealthfront.com/c/affiliates/invited/AFFA-NGE2-ZDDZ-K8BK Dr. Carol Dweck's TED Talk – “The Power of Yet” If this episode was helpful, subscribe to the PA the FI Way podcast or YouTube channel for more content to help you build financial independence and prevent burnout along the way.

What sets the most successful people apart? You may think that the answer is hard work (and it's certainly part of it), but in her interviews of the most accomplished individuals—from entrepreneurs and investors to Olympic athletes and Pulitzer Prize winners—Distinguished Professor of Management, Dr. Laura Huang discovered that what they called their gut feel, the product of their intuition, played the most important role.Laura, who has held faculty positions at Harvard Business School and the Wharton School has in many ways dedicated her research career to quantifying the ‘unquantifiable'. Her work shows that we all have intuition -  a combination of our brain's intelligent synthesis of external data and the entirety of our personal experiences. Our intuition draws from what we already know and what we didn't even realize we knew. This process culminates in a gut feel which can manifest as: A eureka moment, A Spidey sense, Or a jolt that changes how we see things and compels us to act.If you're like most people, these flashes of clarity arise passively.  Random occurrences that come out of the blue.And yet in her powerful new book: You Already Know: The Science of Mastering Your Intuition, Laura shares: "What makes our gut feel a superpower is our ability to go from the passive to the active.” That move, from passive to active, lies at the center of our conversation today. Together we'll explore:How we can strengthen our ability to hear the quiet whisper of our intuition,And be truer to ourselves and those moments of clarity when our head and our heart converge. Laura's words offer us all a timely reminder:"As the external world gets ever noisier, often, the smartest thing we can do is listen to our gut to guide us in the right direction. Trust Yourself. You already know."For more on Laura, her books, speaking, events, and research please visit proflaurahuang.comDid you find this episode inspiring?

Mike Maughan was serving in a YSA bishopric when he heard Blake Roney, now the president of the Provo City Center Temple say, "We are not the gatekeepers, we are the welcoming committee." That single statement changed the way Mike has lived in the years since and it changed the culture of the YSA ward in which he was serving.

From the Skies Over Vietnam to the Power of Healing — The Story of Mike Penn  This week's Team Never Quit guest, Mike Penn, embodies courage, resilience, and grace under pressure. A Navy fighter pilot who served in Vietnam over 50 years ago, Penn's life took a dramatic turn on August 6, 1972, during his 85th combat mission off the USS Midway. Shot down and captured by enemy forces, he endured eight harrowing months as a POW in Hanoi, facing starvation, torture, and isolation. Losing 60 pounds and battling injuries from the crash, he survived where many did not. Upon returning home, Penn continued to serve his country before transitioning to a long and successful career as an airline pilot. Yet, his greatest battles weren't fought in the skies—they were fought within. Like countless Veterans, Penn wrestled with PTSD and alcoholism, learning that even the strongest warriors can't always go it alone. Penn credits his recovery and renewed purpose to sheer determination, the support of fellow Veterans, and the care he received through the Houston VA, which later discovered a life-threatening cancer during a routine scan—saving his life once again. Today, Penn continues to inspire others through motivational speaking, encouraging Veterans to seek help, share their stories, and lean on one another. His outlook remains deeply positive: despite his suffering, he still calls it “an honor to serve.” Join us as we hear Mike Penn's incredible journey—from fighter pilot to prisoner of war to survivor and mentor. His story is a testament to resilience, faith, and the healing power of community. Thank you, Mike Penn, for your honorable service—and for reminding us that healing begins when we choose to reach out. In this episode you will hear: • [Marcus] If you're struggling in college, get your butt in the military for4-6 years, come back, and you'll scream right through it. (6:54) • To get on the Blue Angels demo pilot team, they vote on you. It's a good ol' boy system. If any one guy says no, you're done. (9:30) • Out of nowhere this Marine Corps Master Gunnery Sergeant shows up right in my face. And he starts yelling at me, and honestly, I thought I was in the wrong place. When he gets through yelling at me, he says “You got anything to say for yourself you smart ass college boy?” I put my hand on his shoulder, looked him in the eyes, and I called him “sarge,” I said “Sarge, I really think I'm in the wrong place, because I cam down here to be a Navy jet pilot.” Boom! He threw me on the ground. I've never done so many push ups in my life. (12:21) • He got me in such good officer shape; I ended up becoming the Regimental Commander.  (13:19) • Landing at night is so difficult, because in the daytime you have depth perception. You're looking at the “Meatball,” the optical landing system. Line up with the ship, and your air speed. At night you can't see anything. (19:00) • [When missiles are fired at you] you see it lift off, you see it coming at you. You build up speed. When it gets to be about ¾ of a mile away from you, you do a high G roll into it. It tries to track on you, but it's going so fast, it can't. (29:00) • They were firing 3 from behind that we never saw, so when I tried to get more speed, one from behind hit me. Boom. Engine quit. Stated shaking like crazy. Immediately 8I turned toward the beach. (29:26) • When I got hit, I knew it was over. (30:14) • I reached up to fire the ejection seat. I pulled it, and nothing happened. Never quit. (31:10) • Once I hit the ground, I was in about a foot of water, and the bullets were hitting the water all around me. (34:02) • [Melanie: Q: What happens to the plane?”] A: It blew up right after I ejected. (34:49) • At 36:22, Mike tells the story of his treatment when he was taken by the enemy. • When we got there, we were just beat up and tied up. We had about 3 weeks of that. (41:25) • We had 24” concrete slabs on either side. That's what we slept on. (42:57) • We got no rice. The Vietnamese ate it all. (43:35) • My grandfather, who was an Army vet in Japan, when I went to war, he told me 2 things: Take care of your men, and don't ever give up.(44:36) • [Melanie: Q: How long were you in there as a POW”] A: 8 months. (47:27) • When I got to Oakland, I made beer milkshakes. (55:03) • When I was at Clark, first thing I did – I sat in the shower for 2 hours. (55:28) • Guess where I git [a new car]? I won it on Hollywood Squares. (71:19) • If I can save 1 life from [writing] that book, it's worth it.
